  9. Trends • Reduction (and more competitive) grant funding • Move towards commissioned services/contracts • Pressure on “traditional” education visits • Partners viewing the EEC as an asset to deliver a number of services from…rather than a stand alone project/cost centre?? Operating in a corridor… • 6 EEC’s ~ £1.5 million ~ 65 to 75,000 • 4 EEC’s ~c £1 million ~ 45 to 50,000

  10. Wider trends.. • Mergers & Acquisitions: - Groundwork • Going Bust: - FWAG • Movement of NGDB’s…(Canal and River Trust, English Heritage) into charity sector • Third sector research shows that charities of £5m+ are growing, less than <£5m mixed picture depending on assets, financial reserves, unrestricted income and brand

  11. So what • For a sustainable business a return of £1 to between £8 and £10…”feels about right” • How do these numbers add up compared to other National Grid sponsorships? • How do these numbers compare to other corporate sponsorships?

  12. Since KPI’s began (or over the last eight years) the EEC’s have… • Worked with over ½ million people • Worked with over 14,000 volunteers who have given 35,000 days of their time worth over £2½ million • Delivered over £10 million worth of activity on substation sites and in their local communities • …will have delivered an additional £2.5 million of economic impact in the community…

  13. Social return on investment?? Key Facts (new economics foundation) • £1 invested in high-quality residential care for children generates a social return of between £4 and £6.10. • £1 invested in alternative, non-prison based sentencing for women offenders generates a social return of £14.

  14. Social return on investment for the EEC’s??? • At least £5million per year????... “How do we avoid measurement anxiety and achieve a proportionate approach to measuring outputs, outcomes and impact?”

  15. Future Focus • How do we take things forward? Short term ~ to October Medium term ~ to end of financial year Long term ~ into 2014??

  16. What’s in the in tray? Property • A review of the roles and responsibilities between National Grid and the EEC’s for the maintenance of property. Initial work has been carried out with Bishops Wood and could lead to the development of a capital works programme. • As part of the above there is the issue of the Rainbow Cabin, a building owned by National Grid at Bishops Wood that needs to be addressed • A proposal has been received for community use of the woodland at Penwortham and needs consideration

  17. Other items • Partnership Agreements have been reviewed and agreed with partner organisations. National Grid need to action. They are necessary documents for partners from an audit and governance perspective • Key Performance Indicators for 13/14 will need reviewing and updating in light of information needs from SSR • Links to National Grid social media?? Information on the National Grid website could be updated. Links are made to centre websites, could more use be made of NG social media (Facebook/Flickr) channels? Who in NG is responsible for this? • Links to National Grid Energy Education Centre ~ share learning?? LondonPowerTunnels.co.uk what are their outputs and outcomes? • Links to Social Purpose report and main themes ~ Investing in People, Environmental responsibility and working with communities
