Hello Hoxbies!
Welcome to #WorkstyleFreestyle
with me, Alex Hirst
and with me, Lizzie Penny.
We are so excited to be
talking to you today
about our first Impact Report.
Yes! For the financial year ending
the end of March 2020
so that is our F20 year
we have had a terrific year
a record breaking year for Hoxby
but how we measure our impact
is not just in terms of financials
they're actually more about
the work we're doing
so how we're helping our clients,
helping Hoxbies
and helping the world.
Shall we take each of those in turn?
Yes, shall we give you
some little stats to go with those?
So we've got less clients
than we had last year
we've got less projects
but we have grown our organisation
by more than double
so what we've been doing
over the year is
reducing our client base
to those that are more aligned
with what we are trying to do
and the impacts we are trying
to have in the world
so we've actually got 35 clients
in the last financial year
as opposed to 86 the year before
but they're perfect clients right?
they sure are
it feels great as a result
we've been able to increase
the percentage of
Hoxbies that are doing paid work
as well, so that's gone up
to 32% from 28%
which is fantastic
and obviously significantly
greater than the average
for most freelance platforms
which are around 4%,
something like that
so very pleased with that
to your point Lizzie about
growing overall
we've also increased the revenue
by Hoxby as well
from about, I think, in fact,
we've doubled it
from about one and a half thousand
to three thousand pounds per Hoxby
so that's also a great step
forward this year
and then helping the world
we have launched the
Hoxby Foundation recently
which you will have seen
and we moved from
we introduced a 5% profit contribution
to the Hoxby Foundation
during the year
so far, we've contributed £26,000
to the Hoxby Foundation
and we are thrilled to be
starting to partner with other organisations
in order to deliver impact there
so as you hopefully know
we're a social enterprise
impact is at the heart of what we do
and we exist with a vision
to create a happier,
more fulfilled society
through a world of work without bias
so please get stuck in and
read the whole impact report
it's a fantastic, refreshing read
and it explains a bit more about what we're trying to do
with everything we do at Hoxby
quite right, thanks for tuning in,
we'll see you soon.
Bye bye! See you soon!
