SHERIFFS’&

RECORDER’SFUND

Annual Report2012–2013

This fund was brought into existence by the Sheriffs of the City of London in the year 1808

1

The Sheriffs’ and Recorder’s Fund

Founded in 1808 by the Sheriffs of the City of London, the Fund was established to help ex-offenders released from prison and to assist their dependants. In 1931 the Fund merged withThe Recorder’s Fund, which had been established to assist offenders released on probation.

For over 200 years the Fund has been helping ex-offenders make a new start in life and hasendeavoured to relieve hardship for the families of serving offenders by contributing to thebasic support systems that underpin most people’s lives: a decent education, a job, a stablefamily and a home.

l Nearly half of all serving prisoners have no qualifications.l 42% of prisoners were expelled or permanently excluded from school.l 58% of women and 53% of men in prison identified unemployment and lack of

skills as reasons contributing to their offending.l 45% of serving offenders lose contact with their families.l 30% of people released from prison have nowhere to live and many coming out

only own the clothes they stand up in.

Operating from office accommodation generously provided by the City of London at the OldBailey, the Fund provides assistance largely through the probation service by making timelygrants to ex-offenders in Greater London, principally for clothing, education and training,tools of trade and household furniture and equipment.

In 2012-13 the Fund made:

l 1,193 grants: an increase of 2% compared to 2011-12

l grants amounting to £166,514: an increase of 11% compared to the previous year

It has achieved this through the continued generous support of the livery companies, otherCity of London institutions and individuals through a combination of direct donations andfund raising events.

EXTRACT FROM THE WILL OF MRS HELEN CHARLOTTE NORRIS DECEASED 10THJANUARY 1950

5. I give all the rest of my property of every kind to the Public Trustee upon trust forsale to perpetuate the memory of my husband John Edward Norris who did so much forothers. I wish to create a trust fund to be called The John Nelly Norris Fund to help rehabilitateand to restore the self respect of those coming under the notice of the probation offices at theCentral Criminal Court, London EC, to help them to such an honest and better life, to restoretheir self respect, to help them place their trust in God and to follow the teachings of Christ,for no good can come otherwise. I would like those handling these my wishes to give a chanceto those who have strayed to think on these things. I wish therefore everything to which I ampossessed at my death to be sold by public auction to the highest bidder to create this Trust andthe net proceeds of such sale to be invested to constitute a fund to be called The John NellyNorris Fund and to pay the resulting income therefrom in perpetuity to The Recorder’s Fundat the Central Criminal Court London for the furtherance of the object of that Fund. It is mywish that paragraph 5 be read at each annual meeting of The Recorder’s Fund, a prayer for myhusband and self, I beseech you.

THE SHERIFFS’ AND RECORDER’S FUND

PRESIDENTS’ REPORT 2012-13 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2013

We are very pleased to report that 95% of expenses of the Fund in the financial year 2012-2013were covered by investment income and that the Fund increased in value by 14%. The numberof grants received last year reached 1,116, with an average grant of £125, compared with £124for the previous year. The number of grants made increased by over 2% over this last financialyear. During the past six years the Fund has increased the number of grants it gives by nearly50%, which we think is a considerable achievement made possible only by our generoussupporters who are listed between pages 7 and 10 of this Annual Report.

This was also a year in which we were able to support some special projects, an action madepossible by the very significant legacy left to us by the late Her Hon. Ann Goddard, QC. OurAdvisory Council has decided that it would be a more suitable memorial to her to use themoney for specific projects rather than just adding it to our general grant-making funds.

However, these grants to individuals do, of course, remain the first and most important call onour money. During this year there was an increase in the clothing and furnishings categories,but a reduction in training courses. This is not new, but we are not really clear why it happens.We know our supporters are particularly keen on training grants and we do our best to providethem. An evaluation which is expected to get underway in 2013 may help us to understandbetter why welfare grants are so much the most in demand. There is a pie chart on page 6which shows the breakdown of spending, as well as a list of the training courses provided.Our statistics also show that probation officers and other social workers from all over GreaterLondon, from Croydon to Islington, Lewisham to Kingston, send in applications, so we knowthat our geographical reach is considerable.

Turning to the special projects, we were proud to fund a pilot for Pret-A-Manger, which has anapprentice programme for vulnerable young men and women, many of whom have personalissues which can cause problems when working with others. Pret’s managers are not trainedas counsellors and we were pleased to fund the pilot scheme to introduce a regular counsellingscheme for these apprentices, training which will help them work in a team and resolvepersonal problems such as anger management. The pilot was such a success at keeping somechallenging young people on board that it is now a regular part of the apprentice scheme.Bounce Back is a young, small charity which trains ex-offenders in painting and decorating. Atthe end of their training the charity wanted to give its graduates a painting and decorating kitwith which to start out on their own solo careers. We have paid for twenty of these kits (and,if you need any decorating done in South London, give them a call!). The Buttle Trust is asignificant funder of young people nationwide; we have joined them for two years to helpincrease the number of young men and women from London whose backgrounds includecontact with the criminal justice system. The aim is to help them avoid getting into troublewith the law through education. The Advisory Council believes all these projects would havepleased Ann Goddard.

Every year the Fund and the Presidents organize some fundraising events to supplement theenormously generous support we get from the Livery, individuals and trusts. In May 2012 thePresidents, Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Alan Yarrow and Sheriff Wendy Mead, with theirconsorts, supported us with a very successful event here at the Old Bailey – Ballet and Bubblyat the Bailey, followed by a splendid reception in the Great Hall. In February 2013 the currentPresidents welcomed a large and enthusiastic crowd to St. Vedast alias Foster (where Mr.Alderman and Sheriff Jeffrey Evans and The Hon. Mrs. Evans are parishioners) for an eveningof words and music celebrating the City. The church looked wonderful, the performers werespectacular and the atmosphere was fantastic. Our annual debate at St. Mary le Bow went verywell and, for the first time, we had a collection, shared with the church.

We upgraded and improved our website last year and we are going to try and use it better; notleast by putting more and better information about the Fund on it. We do hope you will findit useful. To coincide with the publication of this Annual Report, we are putting some graphicson the site which give some very interesting comparative information which we cannot fit inthe hard copy report. Our warm thanks to the people at Newby Crouch who initiated anddesigned these useful graphics. http://www.srfund.org.uk

The Fund was very sorry to see the retirement of His Honour Judge Peter Beaumont, QC, TheRecorder of London. He was a devoted Vice-President and passionate promoter of the Fundover many years. We will miss him and wish him and his wife, Mrs. Annie Beaumont, verywell in a long and happy retirement; and, of course, we extend a warm welcome to hissuccessor, our new Vice-President, The Recorder of London His Honour Judge Brian Barker,QC.

On behalf of the Fund’s beneficiaries, we wish to thank all our supporters, from within theLivery and the City of London, without whose loyal and generous support the Fund would notexist. We would like to thank the runners in the Royal Parks Half Marathon who raised over£2,000 on our behalf. We thank the staff at the Old Bailey for their kindness to us and theirefficiency and we particularly thank The Secondary, Mr. Charles Henty, who once again gaveof his time, and more importantly his free time, showing dozens of groups round the buildingout of hours when the courts were not sitting. He raised nearly £8,000 in this way.

REPORT OF THE HONORARY TREASURER

The Fund recorded a surplus of £23,272 in the year ended 31 March 2013 (2012 - £175,450surplus) after taking into account exceptional income of £17,197 (2012 - £177,600), but beforetaking into account investment gains.

Charitable Activities

During the year the Fund made 1,193 grants amounting to £166,514 (2012 - £150,671),representing an 11% increase in the total value of grants made. The majority of grants were forhousehold goods and clothing.

Income from donations of £139,307 was 2% higher than last year (2012 - £136,201). In addition,the Fund benefitted from a legacy of £17,197 (2012 - £177,600) from the estate of Her HonourAnn Goddard QC, a former member of the Fund’s Advisory Council. A further £35,587 net ofcosts was raised from various fund raising events (2012 - £22,053). Administrative andgovernance costs increased to £39,769 (2012 - £37,811) due largely to the increased size andlevel of activity of the Fund.

Investments and Capital Reserves

Investment income which amounted to £42,574 (2012 - £32,491), representing a yield ofapproximately 3.7%, now covers 95% (2012 – 86%) of the Fund’s running costs. The value ofthe Fund’s investment portfolio increased by 15% during the year to £1,307,793 (2012 -£1,142,108) after taking into account net investment gains during the year of £157,105 (2012 -£4,932). This increase was principally due to capital growth achieved on the back of strongerglobal equity markets over the last year. The portfolio outperformed the benchmark indiceswhich we measure performance against with a total return of nearly 18% achieved over theyear.

This leaves the Fund well positioned to meet the ever increasing demands being placed on it.
