Tottenham Hotspur Foundation 2014/15 Social Audit & Impact Report

Tottenham Hotspur Foundation 2014/15 Social Audit & Impact Report

Over the last ten years Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, through the work of the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation has supported thousands of children, young people and adults living in north and north east London. The Foundation has actively managed and delivered a wide range of education, early intervention and prevention programmes alongside voluntary, public and commercial sector partners and reported the successes and challenges to those who fund the work.

As Tottenham Hotspur Football Club embarks on the construction of a new stadium, which will be the catalyst for the wider regeneration of east Haringey and south Enfield, we wanted to do more than simply report on the work we had done. In the future, we want to be an organisation that proves the difference it makes and the cost savings it generates. Furthermore, we want to do this in as open and transparent way as possible; sharing evidence with funding, management and other delivery partners. That is why we have commissioned this Social Audit and Impact Report, the first of its kind by a Premier League Football Club Charitable Foundation, and why we are committed to updating it on a regular basis.

This first report assesses the scale and nature of the contribution we have made in the nine regeneration wards identified in the North Tottenham Regeneration Programme, as well as in the other parts of London where we deliver our work. Critically, the report captures the impact of our work, the difference we have made and the social cost savings delivered. We were obviously delighted to find that for every £1 spent by the Foundation, £7 is saved in welfare costs. Perhaps more importantly it shows we fundamentally change the outcomes in peoples’ lives. We hope you are as impressed as we were by how a more rigorous approach to impact measurement can deliver such a compelling story about the charity’s work.
