In preparing the accounts, the Trustees have followed the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" effective January 2019. ## **CHARITABLE OPERATIONS** This is a registered charity established to provide sponsorship for the secondary education of girls who are unable or unlikely to continue in secondary school without financial support. The girls must be committed to their education and willing to take responsibility for making a positive difference to their community. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** The CCLEF was formed in 1967 and was originally known as 'Commonwealth Countries League Educational Fund (CCLEF)'. The CCLEF was registered as a UK charity in 1982 with a charity number of 287174 and it reregistered in 1996 with number 1048908. The charity changed its name from CCLEF to ‘Commonwealth Girls Education Fund’ (CGEF) on 1st April 2016 to more aptly represent the charity’s central purpose and identity. A new LOGO and new livery were introduced at the same time. The Trustees of the CGEF have always worked closely with other Civil Society Organisations and education establishments to enrich its understanding of the education systems and conditions across the Commonwealth. The Trustees are informed by this on-going exchange of information and expertise from like-minded organisations which help govern its selection of candidates for sponsorship, which may occasionally be sourced through a local charity. It also works closely with the Commonwealth Secretariat and High Commissions in London. The CGEF's secondary school sponsorship scheme for girls is individually tailored to the needs of each applicant and sponsorship is based on academic potential, merit and need. It is given on an annual basis. Renewal of support is based on each girl's school report, achievements and recommendation from their Head Teacher. The Trustees also require a photograph and an annual letter from the girl with information about her life and ambitions. The Trustees are appointed with a view to ensuring that the charity has a variety of skills and experience relevant to its main aims. The Trustees meet regularly throughout the year and are responsible for the overall direction of the charity and for core strategic policies. There are clear responsibilities and procedures for reporting decisions, actions and issues, including recruitment and induction of new trustees. ## **Risk Management** The Trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the Charity has appropriate systems of control; data management, financial, safeguarding and otherwise. The Trustees believe that appropriate controls exist having regard to its size and composition of the board of Trustees. ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Review of activities and performance** **Our Vision:** To change Commonwealth lives through education and friendship; to educate and empower young women as agents of change in their own communities. **Our Mission:** To sponsor girls of ability through secondary education where, without assistance, they would be unable or unlikely to continue in school; to give them a sense of their own value and worth; and to enable them to act as ambassadors for female education within their own communities. **The Board:** The Board of Trustees has not changed during the course of the year. A prospective trustee has been invited observe board meeting until the Board meets in September 2021, when they will be formally elected to the Board. The Trustee brings to the CGEF a broad range of skills and experience in administration and educational practice. Page 2 ## **Commonwealth Girls Education Fund (CGEF)** ## **Trustees' report (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2021** ## **Key achievements** ## **Sponsorship of Girls** During the year the charity sponsored 217 girls through secondary schools in 28 low economy Commonwealth Countries (262 girls/ 28 countries in 2019/20) and the Trustees are pleased to report that 47 girls completed their final year of secondary school during the year (40 girls in 2019/20). Direct spend on sponsorships was £33k (2020: £61k). Individual grants ranged from £115 per girl (Sierra Leone) to the maximum amount, £500 (Delhi and Uganda). Due to the COVID19 pandemic the number of girls sponsored has decreased this year. A large number of applications and renewals are usually processed during March, however, due to the respective regional lockdowns, and subsequent closures of schools, a number of them were put on hold until confirmation is received that schools have reopened. Furthermore, with the imposed challenges to large in person fundraising events Trustees had voted to suspend the processing of new sponsorship applications in order to focus on the girls already approved for sponsorship in March 2020. Invitations will be extended to schools in selected countries to submit new applications post April 2021. Board meetings take place quarterly and there are three additional meetings where the Trustees focus purely on ‘our girls’ and the particular conditions and events they face in each country. Due to the extended lockdown all meetings have been held virtually. Barclays’ current banking policies has meant that the online payment service is not compatible with the charity’s complex mandate, so manual postal payments have been resumed until an alternative means of dispersing sponsorship funds can be sought. This has seen an increase in bank fees. The Trustees remain vigilant to the need to comply with data management laws and regulations. Each girl or her guardian has given their written permission for her personal data to be held by the CGEF and used appropriately. Great care is taken to protect the girls’ personal identities. The Alumnae Association is under the umbrella of the CGEF. ## **Fundraising Activities** In person fundraising activities were not possible, so new online activities were created. This was achieved with the help of our many supporters: - Our inaugural Commonwealth Cook-Off invited supporters to “Cook a Dish and Fulfil a Wish”, - raising just under £5k for the CGEF - A Commonwealth Cookbook, sharing a selection of the recipes, will be published at the end of - 2021. - The Friends of the CGEF scheme continues to be promoted online and in the annual report. - Recurring income from Trusts and Foundations and Corporate bodies were as follows: - • The Royal Overseas League Golden Jubilee Trust originally agreed to donate £2,000 pa for a period of 4 years and requested that this be designated to cover the costs of CGEF sponsored girls in Pakistan. In this final year they once again increased their donation to £3,000. The Trustees are also grateful to numerous Corporates, SMEs and individuals who donated money and gifts in kind and who participated in fundraising activities to support the aims of the charity, especially: - The CCL whose Annual Fair in aid of the CGEF held at Kensington Town Hall is the largest and - most diverse fundraising event in the Commonwealth Calendar year. Although the fair did not take place the CCL made a donation in lieu of the fair. - Eric Peake, who runs the Annual Grand Draw for the CCL in aid of the CGEF, invited regular - supporters to make a donation in lieu of the raffle. Together the funds donated to the CGEF were £20k. - Clarity English, an award winning, Hong Kong based company who again donated £10k. - The Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Salt Spring Island branch members for - their award winning Hope Project in aid of the CGEF with a donation of £5.9k. Page 3 ## **Commonwealth Girls Education Fund (CGEF)** ## **Trustees' report (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2021** - The following donors: The Madrinha Trust and various other Trusts and individual donors, some - who wish to remain anonymous. - The following Friends of the CGEF: Louisa Service OBE, Mrs V Easom George, Mrs Jenny Ives, - Tessa Smith, David Fredericks and those who wish to remain anonymous. - The following professionals who donate their time and expertise: Alan Marshall, Hazleford Ltd for - payroll services - The High Commissioners and their staff who encouraged their nationals to take part in the - Commonwealth Cook-Off, and were able to assist the CGEF with queries relating to matters in their respective countries. The Trustees wish to thank the CGEF’s very many other volunteers and donors of time and resources, the total value of which is impossible to calculate and undoubtedly exceeds the values reported in these financial statements. ## **Other Achievements** The CGEF was invited to the following Commonwealth events: - The Commonwealth Secretariat Dialogue with the Secretary General online events. - The Chair, Roxanne St Clair, was invited to join the Adjudication Panel for the Commonwealth - Youth Awards 2021. The former Administrative Secretary left the Charity at the end of October 2020. Her replacement joined the charity at the beginning of October 2020. Newsletters were issued during the year to our database of regular supporters. ## **Future plans** - The Trustees will resume the processing of new applications in the new financial year - The 'Safeguaring Policy' will be developed further - A Trustee will be appointed to coordinate the revitalization of the Alumnae Association (AA) with the - aim of attracting more members of the AA who are engaged and active in their own Commonwealth - The Board of Trustees are actively seeking prospective trustees in order to replace trustees who - are approaching the end of their term on the Board. ## **Public benefit** The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charities Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the company's aims, objectives and activities and are satisfied that they fully meet it. ## **Review of financial position** The Charity had funds of £682,356 at 31 March 2021 (2020: £470,333). Net income amounted to £135,091 (2020: net expenditure £9,461) before other recognised gains of £76,932 (2020: losses of £65,584). Of the Charity's total funds at the year end, £483,160 (2020: £406,228) as held as fixed asset investments at the year end of which £5,785 (2020: £4,669) were classed as endowment funds. The Charity had free reserves at the year end of £198,316 (2020: £63,665). ## **Investment policy** The Trustees ensure that investments are held in low, low medium, risk income producing funds. In 2015/16 the Trustees switched the main body of the charity’s investments and surplus cash in to managed, income generating bonds with St James Place. The investments are regularly reviewed by the Trustees with professional advisers. See further information on page 6. ## **Reserves policy** The reserves policy is to ensure that the CGEF has sufficient reserves to enable completion of secondary schooling for all girls sponsored at any one time and the Trustees believe this requirement to be fulfilled.

Accounting policies** ## **1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. Commonwealth Girls Education Fund (CGEF) meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. ## **1.2 Going concern** At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in opertional existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Whilst the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been assessed by the trustees, so far as is reasonably possible, due to its unprecendented impact on the worldwide economy it is difficult to evaluate with any certainty the potential outcomes on the charity's future activities. However, taking into consideration the charity's level of reserves, the trustees believe that the charity will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. ## **1.3 Income** All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the charity, can be reliably measured. ## **1.4 Expenditure** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include costs carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. Page 11 **Commonwealth Girls Education Fund (CGEF)** **Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 March 2021** ## **1. Accounting policies (continued)** ## **1.4 Expenditure (continued)** Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the charity's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. ## **1.5 Investments** Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities. ## **1.6 Interest receivable** Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. ## **1.7 Debtors** Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. ## **1.8 Cash at bank and in hand** Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. ## **1.9 Liabilities and provisions** Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. ## **1.10 Financial instruments** The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## **1.11 Pensions** The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year. Page 12 **Commonwealth Girls Education Fund (CGEF)** **Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 March 2021** ## **1. Accounting policies (continued)** ## **1.12 Fund accounting** General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Endowment funds comprise the Marguerite Greenhouse Fund which cannot be expended. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund. ## **2. Income from donations and legacies** |**Donations**
