2/164 Trust for London Annual Review 2011
Trust for London is the largest independent charitable foundation funding work which
tackles poverty and inequality in the capital. We support work providing greater insights
into the root causes of Londons social problems and how they can be overcome;
activities which help people improve their lives; and work empowering Londoners to
inuence and change policy, practice and public attitudes.
We are particularly interested in work that is viewed as challenging and we are willing to
take risks. One of our longstanding principles is to support activities that Government is
unlikely to fund. We also want to make sure that we are able to respond to new issues
and ideas and nd creative ways of tackling deep-rooted problems relating to poverty and
inequality.
Annually we provide around 7 million in grants and at any one point we are supportingsome 400 voluntary and community organisations. Established in 1891, we were formerly
known as City Parochial Foundation.
This Annual Review highlights our work during 2011, all of which is described in more
detail on our website www.trustforlondon.org.uk. This also features a number of
publications and initiatives detailed in this Review.
The front cover shows a Celebration of Fatherhood, which was an event hosted by the
All-Party Parliamentary Group on Fatherhood at the House of Lords in the week leading
up to Fathers Day 2011. The event was organised by The Fatherhood Institute which
is a think-tank that promotes father-inclusive approaches to policy and practice.
The Trust provided 55,000 over two years towards the Institutes Dad Factor project,
which aims to work with Childrens Centres in East London to improve the involvement of
fathers who have arrived in the UK within the past two years. The grant also includes an
independent evaluation by the University of East Anglia.

Established in 1975, Women and Manual Trades was
the rst group formed by women to promote working in
the construction and building sector. Very few women
work in the construction industry; those that do, often face
sexism and harassment leaving them isolated. It works in
partnership with training bodies, employers, public sector
organisations and tradeswomen to address the issues that
prevent women entering, or continuing to work in manual
trades.
The Trust provided 70,000 funding towards the core
costs of running a training scheme to skill up more women
to take up employment opportunities in the sector.

Strengthening the skills of thevoluntary & community sector6 grants - 395,792
Our focus is on three areas: campaigning and policy
change; research; and learning and evaluation. A
signicant grant we made in 2011 was to establish a newstrategic umbrella-body for Londons Somali community,
together with funding from City Bridge Trust. The Council
of Somali Organisations is working with Somali groups to
tackle issues of poverty and to provide a stronger voice
for this community.
Alongside grants, we continued to provide funding plus
support to groups. This is where we offer additional
support alongside a grant, to help organisations become
more effective. For example, all organisations we fund
can attend free training on monitoring and evaluation,
and during the year Charities Evaluation Services
delivered 13 training sessions for us.
The Sheila McKechnie Foundation continued its
Inuencing Change course, which helps organisations
understand how government makes decisions and how
to inuence it. Over 20 participants learned from experts
how to develop a campaign strategy and work with the
media.
Along with the Barrow Cadbury Trust and the Diana,
Princess of Wales Memorial Fund we funded the Institute
for Voluntary Action Research to examine different
approaches to funding plus. The research examined the
benets and challenges of different approaches.
Supporting small community groups38 grants - 830,932
We continued to fund small grassroots groups which
we believe play a vital role in responding to their
communities needs. This may be by campaigning;
providing advice and support to help people access their
rights; or through cultural and educational projects.
A signicant proportion of our funding was for migrant
and refugee community groups to provide information
and advice. These organisations are often a lifeline to
those in need of support, many of whom, for reasons of
language or culture, may nd it difcult to get help from
a more mainstream agency. Grants included support forAfghan women, Portuguese-speaking Africans, Latin
Americans and Somalis.
Promoting Social Justice
22 grants - 1,418,400
In a period of reforms and cuts, campaigning and
advocacy is needed more than ever, particularly
as a number of these changes are likely to have a
detrimental impact on the poorest in society. Wefunded a number of organisations which sought to
review and challenge these reforms. This included
grants to: Shelter to measure the impact of housing
benet changes; Fawcett to identify and campaign
against cuts which impact on women; and Legal
Action Group to undertake research to assess and
analyse changes to the funding of social welfare law,
which included opinion polling to capture Londoners
views of advice services.
We also funded Child Poverty Action Group to employ
a London Co-ordinator to strengthen the coalition of
organisations working in the capital to tackle child
poverty. We worked closely with a number of these
organisations through the London Child Poverty
Alliance, sharing information on current work and co-
ordinating lobbying activities relating to the London
Mayoral elections in 2012, including the creation of a
joint manifesto aimed at the Mayoral candidates.
An issue of growing concern for the Trust relates tothe very high levels of income inequality in the capital.
The climate to discuss how this can be addressed has
improved and several initiatives, which came to fruition
in 2011, aided this including the High Pay Commission
and the Hutton Review of Fair Pay. Complementing this
was research we funded which found overwhelming
public support for action to tackle pay inequality. The
report, Getting what we deserve, by IPPR, investigated
the role of pay as reward for different kinds of work,
skills and outcomes. Drawing on polling and extensive
qualitative research, it considered what the appropriate
foundations for improvement might be. The opinion
poll of over 2,000 adults found an overwhelming 78%
would support government action to reduce the gap
between high and low earners, with 82% of those
saying government should act in both the public and
private sectors. A further report is due in 2012.

London Gypsy and Traveller Unit provides a range of
services for gypsy and traveller communities which includes
community development, media awareness,
accommodation advice and policy work.
The Trust provided 75,000 towards the salary of the
Directors post and a new Community Worker to help
strengthen the role of the London Gypsy and Travellers
Forum. The grant will be used to press for better rights in
relation to settlement and accommodation for the gypsy
and traveller community particularly as part of the Mayors
London Plan.

Special InitiativesSpecial Initiatives are where we want to make a greater
strategic impact on a particular issue, and to which
we commit additional resources, including signicant
staff time. We are currently working on a number of
programmes highlighted below.
Tackling Female Genital Mutilation (2010-13)We continue to collaborate with Esmee Fairbairn
Foundation and Rosa, the UK Fund for Women
and Girls, on our programme to address Female
Genital Mutilation. The interim report of the external
evaluation was published in October. This found
good progress had been made on tackling FGM
within affected communities, particularly with building
relationships with religious leaders to highlight that
FGM is neither necessary nor desirable according toreligious principles. The 14 groups funded through
this joint initiative have also organised a large number
of workshops, strengthened networks and developed
effective ways of conducting grass-roots community-
based prevention work. However, there are still many
challenges in achieving the goal of eliminating this
practice, not least the lack of a prosecution on FGM in
the UK.
London Living Wage (2008-13)London Citizens marked the 10th anniversary of the
Living Wage campaign at Methodist Central Hall in
May, with the launch of the Living Wage Foundation.
The Foundation, created as part of our special initiative,
is a new accreditation body for employers paying the
living wage. At the event the Trusts Chief Executive,
Bharat Mehta, also announced the new London Living
Wage gure of 8.30, which is set annually by the
Greater London Authority.
A key part of the campaign has been to targetindustries which have a culture of low pay, in particular
the retail sector. The Evening Standardran a feature
on low pay on Oxford Street and highlighted stark
differentials in pay between those at the top and
bottom of the workforce, which in one instance was
as wide as 415 times. One in ve of Londons workers
are not paid a Living Wage, many employed by our
largest retailers. The article was successful in signing
up the rst living wage retailer, Lush, and during the
year London Citizens undertook a concerted campaign
encouraging Tesco to become a living wage employer.
We were also involved in supporting the work of Fair
Pensions to persuade FTSE 100 companies to adopt
the living wage and were one of a number of investors,
who signed a letter inviting them to become living
wage employers - we are delighted some agreed to do
so.
Londons Poverty ProleThe latest edition ofLondons Poverty Prole was
launched in October. It updated a wide range of
indicators and assessed what had changed since
the rst report in 2009 and over the last decade. The
launch event, chaired by Jackie Long, Channel 4
Social Affairs Editor, included a lively debate between
Nick Pearce, Director of IPPR and Neil OBrien,
Director of Policy Exchange on the relationshipbetween poverty and the summer riots.
The report, produced for the Trust by New Policy
Institute, received widespread coverage in the media.
With a particular focus on housing, it emphasized
that high housing costs continue to be a signicant
reason why poverty is higher in London than the rest
of England and predicted that housing benet changes
would make parts of Inner London unaffordable for
low-income families renting privately. One effect of
this could be that people move to Outer London
where housing is cheaper. However, the report warned
that Outer London boroughs may not be adequately
prepared to respond to any increase in families as
many have lower levels of public services such as GP
provision and primary school places.
To complement this work we funded two signicant
research programmes. In partnership with the Joseph
Rowntree Foundation and Nufeld Foundation, we
funded the London School of Economics to measurethe impact of the recession, spending changes and
the governments social policy reforms on inequality
and poverty in the UK. A specic London element
will involve case studies of three London boroughs
to assess the impact of different local approaches. In
addition, a grant was made to Professor Danny Dorling
at the University of Shefeld to create the Real Map of
London, an on-line social atlas providing new insights
into poverty and inequality in the capital.

The London Living Wage special initiative was set up at the
end of 2008 and developed from our commitment to
challenge the unacceptable level of in-work poverty that
many Londoners experience. We funded London Citizens
to take forward campaign work and promote the idea to a
greater number of employers through the creation of a new
Living Wage Foundation. It also includes research into the
cost and benets of adopting a living wage. To date, we
have invested around 1 million in the initiative.
Titled Flash Mop, the photo shows an action organised
by London Citizens members aimed at persuading Tesco
to pay the London Living Wage to all of its staff including its
low-paid cleaners.

No Longer Invisible: the Latin American
community in LondonThere is a largely hidden but growing population
of Latin Americans in London. With concerns that
their needs were not being taken into account by
policy makers and service providers, the Trust, in
collaboration with the Latin American Womens RightsService, commissioned Queen Mary, University of
London to undertake research into this community.
The report, No Longer Invisible was launched by the
Deputy Mayor, Richard Barnes, at City Hall in May. It
established the rst robust estimate of the size of the
community (113,500) and found it was comparable
in size to other large migrant and ethnic groups in
the capital. Whilst it is a largely young, well-educated
population which has very high employment rates,
the majority are unable to utilise their skills and over
half are employed in low-skilled, low-paid jobs. It
also found Latin Americans are experiencing high
levels of exploitation and discrimination, especially
in the workplace. LAWRS is working with other
community organisations to take forward a number of
recommendations raised in the report.
Safeguarding Childrens Rights (2007-12)This initiative aims to strengthen community-based
preventive work to promote the rights, safety and well-
being of Londons African children, with a particularfocus on tackling abuse linked to beliefs in witchcraft
and spirit possession. In May a joint conference was
organised with the London Safeguarding Children
Board to launch the independent evaluation of the
initiative. The conference, chaired by Baroness
Howarth, was attended by 120 people drawn from
police, health, childrens services, education and
childrens charities and provided an opportunity to hear
more about work with communities affected by this
issue.
The evaluation, undertaken by the Centre for Social
Work Research, made a number of recommendations
which included the need to embed greater
understanding of faith-based abuse within the existing
child protection framework and that local Safeguarding
Children Boards should be offering training to enhance
understanding of the issues. Trust staff, along with the
groups funded as part of this initiative, were invited
to be members of the Governments national working
group on religion, witchcraft and child safeguarding,which is due to launch a new action plan shortly.
Preventing Racist Violence (2007-11)Three organisations were funded to work with
young people in Thamesmead, Bexley and Barking
& Dagenham to prevent their involvement in racist
violence, and an evaluation of the initiative by the
Runnymede Trust was completed at the end of
2011.To share the ndings, a policy roundtablewas organised in November with Andrew Stunell
MP (Minister for Race Equality and Cohesion),
civil servants, a number of lead agencies and
representatives of the projects. A key nding discussed
was that the zero tolerance approach to racism had
not been effective in addressing the issue and that
a different approach was needed. Two local events
were also organised, one in Woolwich and the other in
Bexleyheath.The evaluation report launch coincided
with the verdict on the Stephen Lawrence trial and
generated some media interest including in The Times.
Tackling Modern Day SlaveryAlthough this initiative came to a conclusion last year,
we continued some related work. With the Olympics
fast approaching, we worked with a small group of
organisations concerned about the potential impact
the Games may have on vulnerable groups. We
funded a report launched by End Violence Against
Women Coalition (EVAW) on the connections between
sport, including major sporting events, and violenceagainst women. EVAW has been working with the
London Organising Committee of the Olympic and
Paralympic Games to ensure that all visitors are given
information about the UK law on domestic and sexual
violence and raising the prole of womens safety
before, during and after the Games.
We had a letter published in The Times raising our
concerns about Government proposals to remove the
already limited protection for migrant domestic workers
in peoples homes. More than two-thirds of migrant
domestics who work in private households in the UK
work seven days a week with no time off; and almost
half work at least 16 hours per day, for no more than
50 per week. Half have been subject to psychological
abuse. We also wrote directly to the Immigration
Minister, Damian Green, about our concerns and both
letters were co-signed by the Barrow Cadbury Trust
and the Bromley Trust.
