THE RODDICK FOUNDATION (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03304866)
Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The foundation was set up for the following purposes:
a) The relief of poverty.
b) The promotion, maintenance, improvement and advancement of education for the public benefit.
c) The provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupations in the interests of social welfare provided that such facilities are for the public benefit
d) The promotion of any other charitable purpose for the benefit of the public.
Public benefit
We are conscious the The Charities Act 2011 emphasises the requirement that all charities of every kind must be able to demonstrate that their work is of direct benefit to the public. We believe that the activities we fund through all our grants, covering a wide range of issues, which we categorise under arts and culture, education and media, environment, human and social rights and medical, are demonstrably of public benefit and ensure through our granting and further monitoring and evaluation that this is the case.
The principal objective of the charity is to support many issues and to achieve public benefit through the distribution of grants and social investments for public charitable purposes across the globe. These grants, focusing on small grassroots organisations at the heart of the community and larger established organisations, aim to deliver a real and lasting positive impact and change. In determining its grant making strategies and in the administration of the charity generally the trustees have paid due regard to Section 4 of the guidance published on public benefit and will continue to deliver grants as effectively and professionally as possible. It will also continue to raise awareness of many issues across the globe to achieve its mission to effect positive change.
Grantmaking
Grants made by The Foundation are at the discretion of The Board of Trustees. The Board considers making a grant and, if approved, notifies the intended recipient. Any funding commitments beyond one year are accrued accordingly within the year that the decision is made.
The Foundation makes grants to charitable and non-charitable organisations. Where grants are made to non-charitable organisations there are additional procedures undertaken by The Foundation so as to ensure that the recipient organisation utilises the intended grant for charitable purposes only and that these intentions are communicated to the recipient organisations.
To ensure The Foundation is meeting its objectives and to assess the effect and impact of The Foundation's grant making activities they undertake monitoring and evaluation in the form of 6 monthly reports for the duration of the project.
In the event that unsatisfactory reporting is received from a project, the trustees will consider any action that they wish to take to retrieve or amend future grant commitments.

STRATEGIC REPORT Achievement and performance
Charitable activities
The Roddick Foundation progressed its agenda during 2020/2021 by making significant grants totalling £1,303,157 to 46 organisations. Funding is given to groups working in the areas of arts and culture, environment, humanitarian, human rights, media, medical/health and social rights.
All grants made have identified issues across the Foundation's overall mission statement.
Highlights of grants made during the financial year 2020/2021 include:
Arts & Culture - £130,000
Kiln Theatre - The grant from The Roddick Foundation is supporting Kiln Theatre's core activity as they prepare to reopen their cinema and theatre to the public after a very long time of closure due to COVID19. Their cinema will reopen, subject to government guidelines, with heavily subsidised ticket prices to encourage audiences to return to their building and support their more vulnerable community members. Additionally, this funding is facilitating a series of community projects to support their borough including a food distribution programme; a playwriting scheme for local young people; English classes for adults; and a diabetes awareness project in partnership with their local GP clinic. Brent is a borough in need and they are determined to play their role in supporting their many communities.
Environment - £269,880
Farming the Future - The Roddick Foundation supported the Farming the Future collaboration's second year in 2020. Farming the Future brings together a diverse collective of land-workers, educators, researchers, activists, organisations and funders, who are dedicated to transforming the current industrial food system to a regenerative one. The Foundation made contributions to the main Farming the Future grant-pool, as well as the Covid Emergency Response Fund, work around culture and communications, and a project exploring opportunities for redirecting finance into a regenerative food and farming system.
Independent Food Aid Network - Some of the funding from The Roddick Foundation has enabled IFAN to distribute small £100 grants to frontline member organisations to use on PPE and other items as needed. The remaining funds have been used as planned to pay for the salary of IFAN's Project Officer who has assisted IFAN's Coordinator with the day-to-day running of the organisation including working on research and administrative tasks.
Human Rights - £314,785
APPEAL - Funding from The Roddick Foundation has helped APPEAL to develop a thorough screening methodology to ensure that every case they receive is properly considered, looking independently at the conviction and the evidence. They have also been able to employ expert, dedicated investigators and lawyers - they now have a full-time employed Barrister, giving them the capability to represent wrongfully convicted people directly in court, which has allowed them to up their game, and reduce their reliance on finding pro bono barristers.
Media - £59,998
Open Democracy - The Roddick Foundation funding was put towards five months' work at the Shine A Light investigative journalism and storytelling project, and this enabled them to significantly progress their projects that expose state-related neglect and wrongdoing, and the impacts of structural racism. A result of this work is that they have been able to continue working to change the demographic of UK journalism.
Medical/Health - £117,000

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021
EveryDoctor - The grant from The Roddick Foundation supported their campaign work during the first wave of COVID19. They were successfully able to lobby for improvements in the working rights of healthcare workers on visas, they were successful in campaigning for death in service benefit for healthcare workers who died of COVID-19, and secured eye protection for frontline healthcare workers. They have also been pushing for an independent review into the structural racism within the NHS. As a direct consequence of the funding from The Roddick Foundation, they have also grown significantly as an organisation. They have increased their mailing list from 4,000 to 25,000, and increased their paying membership numbers from 350 paying members to around 1,000. Funding has also been devoted, as planned, to creating the structure necessary for their organisation to grow. They have invested in support from an HR officer in managing company policies and hiring staff, have enlisted the services of accountants to set themselves up as a VAT-paying company and have also invested in tech to keep EveryDoctor running smoothly as they work remotely during COVID-19.
Chestnut Tree Hospice - Funding has helped support their community nursing. Due to COVID19 restrictions all respite breaks and day care services were cancelled but the team continued to offer care and support in the community, though with limiting face to face contact. All families on the caseload were rung every week (approx 250 families) and they were asked what input they wanted/needed. The team also worked in partnership with families to provide extra care when the child's usual care was not available. Many of the community visits that took place during lockdown were for end of life care. These visits take place whenever the family need them, and staff are on call to attend at very short notice.
Social Rights - £411,494
She Rock She Rock - Without funding from The Roddick Foundation She Rock She Rock would not have been as successful as it was this year. The grant was put towards their general operating funds which helped in a major staff transition and a pivot to virtual programming. Due to COVID their annual Girls Rock n Roll Retreat (GRRR), their largest program of the year, shifted into a virtual model which had a significant impact on their budget - and this funding helped greatly. This year at GRRR, 116 campers learned how to write, produce and record their own songs using a software called Soundtrap. Instead of learning physical instruments, they learned how to use the software to program multiple instrument sounds, rhythms and record vocals. Campers also engaged in social justice workshops and art workshops. All activities were held on Zoom.
Solid State Community - The grant from The Roddick Foundation has been used to employ 4 women, all on a permanent part-time positions, and all racialised migrants themselves, to maintain and develop their outreach and partnership efforts, website and social media, as well as liaise with partner organisations.
Fundraising activities
Section 162a of the Charities Act 2011 requires charities to make a statement regarding fundraising activities. Although we do not undertake widespread fundraising from the general public, the legislation defines fund raising as “soliciting or otherwise procuring money or other property for charitable purposes.” Such amounts receivable are presented in our accounts as “voluntary income” and include legacies and grants.
In relation to the above we confirm that all solicitations are managed internally, without involvement of commercial participators or professional fund-raisers, or third parties. The day to day management of all income generation is delegated to the executive team, who are accountable to the trustees.
The charity is not bound by any undertaking to be bound by any regulatory scheme and the charity does not consider it necessary to comply with any voluntary code of practice.
We have received no complaints in relation to fundraising activities. Our terms of employment require staff to behave reasonably at all times; as we do not approach individuals for funds we do not have particularise this to fundraising activities nor do we consider it necessary to design specific procedures to monitor such activities.

STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review
Financial position
In 2007, the majority of the funding was received from Mr T G and the late Dame A L Roddick. Of the amounts received £30m was intended to be invested to generate income and that the income would be the annual resource of the Foundation for gifting.
The Foundation continues to be reliant on its income from its investments, which amounted to £241,972 in the current year (2020 - £388,450). To reflect the intentions of the endowment gift, the Foundation has invested a portion of the funds received in medium term investments in order to generate sufficient annual income to make grant payments whilst benefiting from capital growth. The Trustees are pleased with the performance of the investment portfolio during 2020/21 given the economic circumstances prevailing.
In addition to these investments, the Foundation keeps sufficient monies on current and deposit bank accounts to enable grant payments to be made as and when they fall due.
Other income with regard to book royalties received from the late Anita Roddick's publishing company of £301 have been received in the financial year. Expenditure of £1,444,567 was spent on charitable activity, governance and administration of the Foundation.

STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review Investment policy and objectives Introduction
The Roddick Foundation was registered 18 March 1997 with a £30,000,000 expendable endowment from Mr T G and the late Dame A L Roddick. This document is to provide policy and guidance on how the fund is to be managed.
Purpose
The charitable objective of the Foundation is the promotion of any charitable purpose for the benefit of the community, including relief of poverty, advancement of education and social welfare. The Foundation has specialised in the following core fields:
-
Human Rights
-
Health
-
Environment
-
Social
-
Humanitarian
-
The Arts
The Foundation makes grants to organisations working in pursuit of these objectives. The Foundation aims to distribute approximately £1,000,000 per year. The Trustees have agreed that The Foundation's grant-making is not limited to the income generated from investments and will spend down the Fund at approximately the current level of expenditure.
Investment objectives
-
To generate annual total returns (from both capital growth and income) in line with the target returns of the investment profile selected;
-
The portfolio is to be managed within the risk parameters appropriate to the investment profile selected and should adopt a suitable level of diversification;
-
The investment manager should ensure that sufficient liquidity is maintained to fund the Foundation's annual distributions when required; and
-
The portfolio should adhere to the ethical guidelines communicated by the Trustee.
Current Investment Profile
The portfolio is managed by Coutts using their Tailored Portfolio Service. The portfolio is to adopt a balanced profile.
- The target range of returns for a balanced profile is from 4.5% to 6.5% per annum.
Risk Management
The Trustees have currently mandated a risk tolerant attitude to risk, which is category 5 on the Coutts Risk Rating scale (CRR). CRR 5 implies volatility of 5-15% returns pa.
Investment Time Horizon
The trustees are prepared for the Investment Manager to adopt a 5 to 8 year time horizon with regular annual reviews. The investment approach can be changed in the meantime if circumstances require.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Financial review
The Foundation stands for the highest ethical standards, which must be applied to the managers' investment strategy. In short, they should contain:
Negative screening
-
Companies whose revenue is generated by the extraction and combustion of fossil fuels;
-
Companies whose revenue is generated by trading in armaments and tobacco;
-
Companies whose revenue is generated by developing GM crops; and
-
The following companies are to be excluded as a result of concerns over their supply chains - Tesco and Walmart.
Positive screening
- Companies generating renewable forms of energy
Reporting and monitoring
The management of the fund has been delegated to Coutts Bank. The performance and investment regime will be reviewed annually with UK representatives of the Trustees, Foundation staff and representatives of Coutts.
Investment summary for the 12 months ending 31 March 2021
Performance summary - The last 12 months have been action packed, to say the least. We need no reminding that 2020 was dominated by the global pandemic, and markets reacted with aggression, in both directions.
Notwithstanding the tumultuous year, The Roddick Foundation ended 2020 positive 7.12%, and is up 15.58% over the last 12 months to 15th March 2021.
2020 was, in fact, off to a good start, with concerns over US/China relations abating and the global economy in generally good health. By the end of March, however, global markets appeared to be in free fall, with no apparent end in sight to the Covid crisis. The bottom of the market coincided with two thirds of the world going into lockdown, and a huge, coordinated international effort from governments and central banks to support markets and economies.
This support, in the form of monetary and fiscal stimulus, along with infection numbers falling in China, was the catalyst for the strong recovery that lasted until the end of the year. It was, however, aided by two items of crucial news: Joe Biden's election victory in the US and the series of vaccine approvals that followed.
Since the vaccine roll-outs began, we have seen a strong rotation in markets. If 2020 was all about tech stocks and other Covid hedges, the last five months have been all about the companies that suffered as a result of lock downs. We have seen strong performance from more cyclical, value-led sectors such as energy and banks.
As 2021 has progressed, markets appear to be focusing on three things: liquidity, fiscal support and vaccine roll outs. With the amount of liquidity that has been injected in to markets from central banks, and the amount of capital injection that economies will receive from government spending (for example, $1.9 trillion US stimulus package), we can see continued support for risk assets such as equities and commodities. Add to this the so-called return to normalcy that vaccination programs will lead to, and we overall have more cause for optimism.
There are, of course, risks ahead of us. We are not yet fully aware of what unemployment numbers will look like once furlough schemes expire, for example. Further political risks continue to lurk in the background, such as US China relations and Brexit. Notwithstanding this, we are still more optimistic than not.
Reserves policy
The free reserves of the Foundation at 31 March 2021 were £nil (2020 - £800,724). The Trustees are able to draw funds from the expendable endowment fund to meet the operational needs and grant commitments made.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Future plans
Human, environmental and social rights together with some funding of the arts and education will continue to be central in the future grants policy. The Roddick Foundation will carry on spending down some of its capital with the possibility of fully spending out over time.
In shaping the work of The Roddick Foundation the trustees will pay close attention to the unfolding impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic on communities and issues of rights and social justice. The pandemic has also added to pre-existing uncertainty in the economy, and the risk of financial instability, with as yet unpredictable effects on people and the environment.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of The Roddick Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Roddick Foundation (Registered number: 03304866)
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Roddick Foundation (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 10
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Roddick Foundation (Registered number: 03304866)
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 11
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Roddick Foundation (Registered number: 03304866)
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and the related disclosures made by the directors.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to event or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors report to the related disclosure in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
