Executive Summary •

orth Sector is a company limited by F guarantee and a charity based in Edinburgh. Formed in 1991, it supports people who are disadvantaged and unable to secure meaningful employment; most have mental health conditions.

Investment of £1.5 million in the form of capital grants has been secured from the Big Lottery and Social Investment Scotland. A further £0.5million in loans has been secured. The balance of funding is being sought.

The organisation operates businesses where clients gain work experience and receive training and support from a professional team. The businesses are St Jude’s Laundry, which holds a Royal Warrant, The Scottish Soapworks, manufacturing quality, hand-made soaps and cosmetics and EES Logos, a specialist embroidery, workwear and gift business.

Investment in production space, facilities, product development, sales, marketing and organisational capacity will double income by 2017.

Projections show that by 20171:

The purpose of investment is to transform the organisation in order to support many more people and ensure sustainability in future.

Capital investment will enable the development of an ‘employability hub’ to house all of Forth Sector’s growing businesses and client support facilities.

A development site in a deprived area of Edinburgh has been identified with an option to purchase from the City of Edinburgh Council at £300,000. Planning permission, all necessary surveys and preliminaries are complete.

An employer’s agent has been appointed and the contract is out to tender.

The cost of development will be £2.3 million and subject to funding, should be complete in the spring of 2013.

- Group annual sales will be £2.9 million.

- Group annual profits will be £274,000.

- The balance sheet will show £2.3 million of net assets

- Cash balances will be £565,000.

The organisation will lose dependency on revenue grants completely by 2013.

The model of employability will be developed further to exploit new market opportunities. It will support a wider range of disadvantaged people, providing workplacement, vocational training and personal development. This will lead more than 500 beneficiaries being supported by 2013, and double this by 2017.

Projected Social Return on Investment (SROI) will be £7.34 for every £1 invested (independent assessment). 1 - Appendix A

Introduction by the Chief Executive Stability is a myth. Change is unrelenting; it creeps up imperceptibly or arrives with a bang. There is sense of something profound happening in the economy and in society. At local level there is the same sense. The economic outlook is grimmer than could have been imagined. For charities the surety of grant funding has evaporated with swingeing cuts in public funding. The move to competitive tendering is inexorable. This has already had a profound impact on Forth Sector and indeed, the whole of the third sector.

In order to affect the change, we knew that significant investment would be required. We also knew that investment depended on a viable and robust business-model. We set about producing a strategy fit for the new world we find ourselves in and a business plan which we knew could deliver sustainability. The ensuing years have been very challenging but the tough decisions were made and the organisation is in good shape to embrace the future. The Outlook - Need and Opportunity

In 2008 the collapse of Lehman Brothers set off a chain reaction which continues. Like the rest of the economy at that time, Forth Sector was not in great shape to face the storm, with 60% of its income coming from public funding in the form of grants and a portfolio of seven lossmaking businesses. The Board acted decisively, a new chief executive was appointed, and the organisation set itself the goal of becoming self-sufficient without the need of revenue-funding within five years; a target it is on course to achieve. It also set about transforming the services offered to those it exists to support, disadvantaged people who are a long way from the jobs market; this too is well in hand.

4

Cold economic reality means that the amount of money available for social care will decline over coming years. This will have most impact on those who are not considered to be in need of a high level of care, yet are not able to move into mainstream employment without considerable help. These people, the majority of whom have mental health conditions, will be even more marginalised by welfare reform. They are our natural constituency and we are well placed to support them, provided we have the capacity to do so. The UK Government’s ongoing strategy of moving people off of benefits into employment has been confounded by the economic crisis which has made it even more difficult to bring


people excluded from mainstream employment into work. In a time of little or no economic growth, ironically the growth market is in ‘employability’. With more than 40,000 claimants of Incapacity Benefits in Edinburgh alone, this is the market opportunity for Forth Sector. Our USP is that we can offer real work placements for real people in real businesses. The gap in the market lies here, because whilst a plethora of organisations offer training and ‘work preparation’ all the evidence is that what really makes the difference to a person’s employability is ‘Individual Placement and Support’ (IPS). IPS relies on providing a real work environment; Forth Sector almost uniquely offers this through its businesses – real, competitive businesses.

“ The future has a way of arriving unannounced.” George Will

Investment will ensure our businesses can not only be sustained, but continue to grow and in the process offer many more work-placement opportunities. Securing investment demands a credible business plan. Our plan took the equivalent of five- person-years to produce. The aim was to ensure it was something we and prospective investors could believe in. The plan is hardheaded and commercial, but driven by our need to exist to support others, because we know we can make a difference. Mike Finlayson Chief Executive May 2012

“ What helped me to develop? Being treated as a ‘normal’, capable individual in a job.” Social Impact When the new service is in full operation, Forth Sector creates more than £3,000,000 additional social value per year. For every pound of investment in the service £7.34 is returned in social value.

6


Social Return There is a tendency for charities to simply state that they ‘do good things’ and so deserve to be funded. Outcomes-based contracting invariably fails to capture the real value of charitable activity to beneficiaries or the wider social impact. Surprisingly, many charities have no means of establishing objectively their true impact, value or efficiency. When we reviewed our strategy and started to develop our plans we asked ourselves the hard question “are we adding value?” We even asked the question “should we exist at all?” We couldn’t answer these questions without objective, dispassionate assessment, so we commissioned qualified external agencies to consider the extent of need for our services and to establish the difference we made to the lives of those we exist to benefit and the wider social value we might be creating. Research conducted by the Scottish Development Centre for Mental Health confirmed the nature and extent of need and the lack of provision.

The assessment concluded that as a result of engagement with Forth Sector, beneficiaries were improving their physical and mental health and were better able to cope with their conditions and life in general. It also concluded that they were much more likely to secure meaningful employment. These were tangible benefits to the individuals, their families, their communities and society in general. In terms of wider social value the assessment found that for every £1 invested in the planned development, a monetary return of between £5 and £7 could be anticipated; most of this saving was in reduced costs to the public purse. These are extracts from a very thorough analysis. The full report is available on our website We are confident that we help to transform people’s lives and in the process, create measurable social value.

Establishing the difference we could make to the lives of our beneficiaries and the impact we could expect from our planned investment was carried out in the form of a predictive SROI (social return on investment) audit by consultants EKOS.

meaningful employment.


Activities

Social Firms Division Under the leadership of a highly experienced manager, the Division operates three commercial businesses where benificiaries take up work placements under the supervision of managers and core staff. Businesses include a commercial Laundry with a 45 year history which holds the Royal Warrant, EES Logos (formerly Edinburgh Embroidery Services) which provides bespoke embroidery work wear and gifts and the Scottish Soap Works, which manufactures gift products and cosmetics. Forth Sector Development Ltd (FSD Ltd) FSD Ltd is a highly successful consultancy business, which Gift-Aids a proportion of profit back to the charity. The business operates on a wholly commercial basis with its own strategy and Board.

“Our primary focus as a charity is to provide employability support to aid the recovery of people with mental health problems. We achieve this, uniquely, by offering placements within our businesses complemented by professional support provided by our Employability Services team. Forth Sector Development is our consultancy arm offering high level business development services.�

9


Ambitions Our ambition is to support many more people by creating more and better work placement opportunities in sustainable businesses. Larger premises will provide purpose-built accommodation for businesses and support facilities. They will allow increased production capacity and the ability to support many more benificiaries in a suitable environment. This will create considerable economies of scale and energy efficiencies. Sales across Social Firms will double by 2017 through investment in premises, plant and machinery, product development sales and marketing.

Space for the commercial laundry business will double. Significant investment will be made in new, high-capacity, energy-efficient plant and machinery, allowing it to win larger contracts, while gaining economies of scale and lowering running costs. EES Logos will benefit from additional equipment purchased to allow it to widen significantly its product offering. In the process it will adopt an ethical stance, sourcing fairtraded and organic products and raw materials. Sales will more than double by 2017.

The Employability Services Division will develop further its model of employability to exploit new market opportunities by tendering for contracts and subcontracts. It will support more clients claiming Incapacity Benefit, Employment Support Allowance and JobSeekers Allowance and a wider range of disadvantaged people and carry out training for work. This will lead to more than 500 clients being supported by 2013.

Ambitions

The Scottish Soap Works will exploit newly identified channels of distribution and develop a new offering to double its turnover. Increased production space will be made available, new production equipment installed and a fulfilment facility built into the new premises. It will trade ethically.

Forth Sector Development Ltd will develop with a new Board and strategy. It will exploit Forth Sector’s substantial intellectual capital

and new market opportunities which arise from the need for the third sector to trade.

11


Strategy Our business strategy is to invest in capacity, growth, and people. There is a huge demand for what we do. Need is increasing and ‘employability’ is the market opportunity. The aim is to support many more people and to support them better. Everything else is secondary to this. Just two objectives guide us: •T o create real work environments in which our service users and our staff can flourish. •T o create a sustainable business model. Creating real work environments requires careful consideration of the type of business we operate and the work conditions in that business. It is important for our clients that they experience challenging but supportive work environments in credible, competitive businesses. This creates the essential challenge and tension, which aids recovery, increases self-esteem and prepares people for real work. Our aim is to develop these environments.

12

If we are to support more people we need to create more work placement opportunities; this means bigger businesses offering a wider choice of opportunities. It also means creating sustainable businesses, which are not dependent on grant-funding. Our strategy therefore is to grow the existing portfolio of businesses through investment in more space, efficient plant and equipment, product development, sales and marketing, and especially people. Detailed plans reflect this. We expect to at least double turnover in existing businesses by 2017 and possibly acquire new or existing businesses as well.


Strategy

Until recently, Forth Sector had largely been dependent on grant-funding. While funds were readily available and authorities had the will and means to fund activities, this model was viable. This is no longer the case. Funds are drying up and what funding there is will be packaged and put out to competitive tender. ESF funding, which Forth Sector has benefitted from for some years, will disappear from 2013. By growing businesses, and making the Employability Services Division a profit-centre able to tender for contracts, we will lose dependency on any form of grantfunding.

Transforming Forth Sector will require larger premises and all of the paraphernalia of business development, but the transformation depends largely on the ability to transform thinking and competency. For this reason we are investing in building organisational capacity and competency through recruitment and the training and development of existing staff.
