Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) Year ended 31 March 2021

Structure, governance and management

The Fatherhood Institute is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee. The constitutional documents are the memorandum and articles of association.

The Trustees of the Charity are also Directors of the Company.

The charity operates with a board of trustees that meet quarterly. Trustees have overall responsibility for financial management, organisation and compliance with the purposes of the charity. However this responsibility is devolved on a day to day basis to the Joint Chief Executives, who report to the trustees at each meeting.

Objectives and activities

The company is a charity with the following objects:

Public benefit

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives.

There is now a significant body of evidence which shows that children whose fathers have been highly involved in their care are more likely to have (amongst other benefits) better friendships, fewer behaviour problems, lower criminality and substance abuse, higher educational achievement, greater capacity for empathy, more satisfying adult sexual partnerships, higher self-esteem and lifesatisfaction. The public benefit from our work comes from collating this research, making sure that parents, professionals and policy makers are aware of the benefits of involved fatherhood, and training those working with parents to achieve a higher level of involvement from fathers in caring for their children.

Achievements and performance

The activities in this financial year were:

Department for Education:

With a one off grant from the Department for Education we undertook a rapid review of research into the non-accidental injury of infants under the age of one by fathers/father-figure.

ESRC Gender Eye Project

In partnership with Lancaster University, we continued work on a three-year study of ways to improve male recruitment, support and retention: Latest figures suggest that only 3% of the early year’s workforce in England & Wales, and 4% in Scotland, are men. This proportion has remained virtually static for 20 years. The research aims to identify the obstacles that stand in the way of greater gender diversity; to learn about possible solutions (including those developed overseas); and to use this knowledge to produce practical resources that can help the UK diversify this vital part of the education sector.

Sport England: Daughters and Dads Active and Empowered (DADs)

We completed the second phase of an original, rigorously evaluated, physical activity and gender empowerment programme for primary school aged girls and their dads. The programme, developed in Australia, is being delivered in partnership with Women in Sport and the English Football League. We trained six coaches from community clubs including Fulham, West Bromwich Albion, Middlesbrough, and Leighton Orient. During the pandemic delivery to dads and daughters (aged 5 - 11) was moved from face-to-face to virtual delivery.

The Nuffield Foundation: Contemporary Fathers in the UK (TWO): What do we know? what do we need to know? (state of the UK's fathers)

Our Contemporary Fathers in the UK project (Nuffield Foundation, 2017-23) is the most comprehensive review ever undertaken in Britain, of decades of research into the roles of fathers in families. we published Lockdown Fathers – the untold story: Fatherhood during the first Covid-19 lockdown (2021). Nuffield Foundation: Daddy's Home In September 2020 we reported on our recent survey of the Covid-19 parenting experiences of 2,000 UK fathers recruited via Populus.

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued) Year ended 31 March 2021

AIM Foundation and Best Beginnings

We developed and wrote a father's pathway within a re-designed version of an existing App “Baby Buddy” which was originally developed for mothers. The app is the first daily information resource for expectant and new fathers which covers the perinatal period from pregnancy to six months after the birth.

Training and Consultancy

Father-Inclusive Practice Training: We delivered an extensive package of training events for systems leaders and early years, health care professionals and social workers in the Vale of Glamorgan.

Page 6

The Fatherhood Institute

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

Corporate consultancy:

We continued to deliver via our partnership with the Working Parent Company a small number of webinars for law firms, large employers, and banks across the UK.

Communications

Newsletters and social media

We sent out 7 e-newsletters to our database and grew our social media following to just over 9,700 (Twitter) and 3,366 (Facebook).

Financial review

The gross incoming resources for the year amounted to £222,732 of which £154,172 had to be used on restricted projects. General reserves decreased from £115,301 to £100,867.

Reserves policy

The unrestricted reserves at the Balance Sheet date amounted to £100,867.

The reserves policy is to hold in unrestricted funds enough money to cover close down costs, should that eventuality arise. At 31 March 2021 that cost was estimated to be £20,000.

The charity is not currently in a position to have an investment policy.

Risk review

The trustees have overall responsibility for assessing risks faced by the organisation and ensuring that appropriate systems of controls are in place. Together with the senior management team, the trustees review the major financial, operational, reputational, and regulatory risks periodically. The organisation's most significant risk has been the immediate and longer-term impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Our ability to rapidly pivot our work will create a further body of new research which we can build on to lever future research partnerships. For the longer term we have now digitised our training programme, accessible to public sector practitioners. We have plans to secure new income beyond the end of current funding streams in 2021 - 2023 with a tighter focus on two new strategic goals; 1. the transition to fatherhood and 2. fathers and education. We will develop partnerships with peer organisations such as RCM. Internally, financial risks are managed by the authorisation of a Trustee of payments over £10,000 and detailed activity and financial reports are submitted to funders in relation to grants.

Plans for future periods

Nuffield Foundation: We will begin work on the next phase of research; our new reviews of fatherhood in the postnatal period and fathers of adolescents to be published in 2022 and 2023.

PIECE Paternal Involvement and Its Effects on Children’s Education : We will commence work as co-investigators on PIECE , a study with Leeds University (ESRC, 2021-23), exploring the relationship between fathers’ involvement and their children’s attainment at primary school (up to the transition to secondary school).

Women in Sport: Dads and Daughters Exercising and Empowered (DADs)

We will complete the final year of a three-year pilot of DADs with low-income families in six areas of the UK with Women in Sport and the EFL. We will publish the evaluation findings from quantitative surveys and qualitive interviews with participants in spring 2022.

ESRC: Men in the Early Years (MITEY)

We will complete the final phase of our three-year ERSC research project as coinvestigators with Lancaster University with a study of ways to improve male recruitment. We will produce new resources for the early years sector to help recruit, support and retain men.

Early Life Cohort Feasibility Study:

We will contribute to the feasibility study for a proposed new Early Life Cohort Study, ensuring fathers are engaged from the start. This will include overseeing qualitative research with Ipsos Mori on engaging Own Household Fathers in cohort studies and contributing to their ‘branding’ consultation

Training and Consultancy

We will develop new training for practitioners and improved programmes for fathers and families and publish these in a brochure to promote our work to local authorities, health providers and families. We’ll continue to adapt and modify our existing programmes for practitioners in early years, maternal health, education, and social care to ensure they are accessible digitally.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Fatherhood Institute

Year ended 31 March 2021

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Fatherhood Institute (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position and the related notes, 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, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity 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,

Page 13

The Fatherhood Institute

Company Limited by Guarantee

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Fatherhood Institute

Year ended 31 March 2021

may cast significant doubt on the charity'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.

Page 14

Year ended 31 March 2021

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Page 15

Year ended 31 March 2021

 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; or

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors 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 charity'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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 17

The Fatherhood Institute

Company Limited by Guarantee

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Fatherhood Institute (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

Auditor's 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 an auditor’s report 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:

Key audit matters: our assessment of risks of material misstatement

Key audit matters are those matters that in our professional judgement were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) identified by us, including those which had the greatest effect on the allocation of resources in the audit, and directing the efforts of the engagement team. There are no key areas identified as the audit is very low risk with normal audit procedures adequate in all audit areas.

We agreed to report to the board of directors any corrected or uncorrected identified misstatements.

Identifying and reporting of risks of material misstatement due to fraud

To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud we assessed events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included:

Ÿ Enquiries made of the directors.

We communicated identified fraud risks throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout the audit.

As required by auditing standards and taking into account possible pressures to

Page 18

The Fatherhood Institute

Company Limited by Guarantee

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Fatherhood Institute (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

meet targets and our overall knowledge of the control environment, we performed procedures to assess the risks of management override of controls. To address the pervasive risk as it related to management override of controls, we reviewed material journal entries and agreed these to supporting documentation where appropriate.

Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to non-compliance with laws and regulations

We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience and through discussion with the directors. Our assessment of risks involved gaining an understanding of the control environment including the entity's procedures for complying with regulatory requirements.

We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably:

Page 19

The Fatherhood Institute

Company Limited by Guarantee

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Fatherhood Institute (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

Health and safety laws.

Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Therefore, if any breach of operational regulations is not disclosed to us or evident from relevant correspondence, an audit will not detect that breach.

Limitations to the ability of the audit to detect fraud or breaches of laws and regulation

Owing to the inherent limitation of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it.

In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of fraud, as this may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement, and therefore we are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect noncompliance with all laws and regulations. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FRC's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities . This description forms part of our auditor's report.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Year ended 31 March 2021

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity'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 charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's 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 charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2021

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 57 Chevening Road, Greenwich, London, SE10 OLA.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified to include certain items at fair value.

Going concern

The trustees/directors have prepared an income and expenditure forecast for the charity to March 2022 and projections to March 2023. On the basis of this information and following discussions with actual and potential funders, the trustees/directors are confident that expenditure will not significantly exceed income for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the trustees/directors consider it appropriate to prepare these financial statements on the going concern basis. However, given the nature of the future income streams, which is dependent on a number of factors, there can be no certainty in relation to these matters.

The financial statements therefore do not include any adjustments that would be required if sufficient income were not to be received.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are

Page 27

The Fatherhood Institute

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2021

believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We confirm that there are no critical judgements or estimates to note.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Incoming resources in the form of grants and project income are treated as restricted on the basis that they have been received for specific purposes as laid down by the donor.

Page 28

The Fatherhood Institute

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income.

Voluntary income is received by way of donations and grants and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Where grants are awarded to cover a number of years or are of a service contract nature, only that part of the grant that has been expended is recognised in the year with the balance deferred.

Incoming resources from other trading activities is mainly consultancy and presentations and is included in the year in which it is receivable.

Investment income is included when receivable.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Page 29

The Fatherhood Institute

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Equipment - Over 3 years

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Page 30

The Fatherhood Institute

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or paable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
