to rebuild a hroken world we provide learning and development services
for the humanitarian and development sectors, envisioning a world in which highly skilled
professionals respond effectively, inclusively, and sustainably lo disasters globally.
Working with multilateral agencies, disaster-affected people, NGOS, private sector, governments,
trusts and foundations, and academia, we innovate across climate change, engineering in
emergencies, and humanitarian competencies, concentrating expertise in the places where it is most
needed.
What sets us apart?
We are active across the disaster response cycle, from preparedness and risk reduction to
iehabilitation, reconstruction, and building resilience.
We strengthen the capacity of disaster responders Ihrough our expertise in learning and
development, on an individual, organisational, and sectoral level. We're agile in reaching out through
the learning methods that suit learners best, adhering to sectoral best practice and standards.
We connect stakeholders, working at the intersection of experts and practitioners across sectors,
and believing that capacity strengthening is an exchange, not a top-down exercise from one part of
the world to another.
We adapt for each local context, placing local responders at the forefront. Our trainers are at the
cutting edge of developments across sectors, rooted in technical expertise, and we're known for our
thoroughly localised approach.
We're taking the long view. Strengthening local capacity on the ground builds long-term resilience.
We engage in present needs rather than relying on yesterday's principles.

Foreword
One in 22 people around the world are now in need of humanitarian assistance - a record high. In
the words of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, 'we face the greatest cascade of crises in our
lifetimes.'1
In the past year, RedR has equipped 3,685 humanitarian and development professionals with vital
skills across a wide range of sectors. Our comprehensive training initiatives have spanned
emergency engineering, climate change adaptation, and humanitarian services.
From assessing blast damage in Ukraine to coordinating camps for displaced people in Nigeria and
building capacity for local NGOS in Somalia, RedR's training has enabled more eff ective delivery of
crucial support. With this specialised training, RedR is amplifying the impact of humanitarian and
development initiatives worldwide. Our programmes are empowering real people to build resilieni
communities and respond to emergencies with enhanced expertise.
As a leading voice in disaster response, RedR has further connected responders with vital technical
expertise where it's needed most. This has been facilitated through our longstanding partnerships
with UN agencies, private companies, trusts, foundations, local and international NGOS, academic
institutions, and bilateral agencies. We've driven key conversations, in our work with the WASH
Secretariat and the Engineering in Emergencies handbook, for instance, to promote higher standards
of humanitarian support.
RedR itself continues evolving to enhance our own capacity. We extend sincere gratitude for the
generous backing you have provided throughout the year, which is detailed in this report. We've also
signposted our commitment to the IFRC Climate Charter throughout. We were honoured with an
invitation tothe King's Humanitarian Reception at Buckingham Palace, highlighting our contributions
to the humanitarian sector. Additionally, the Financial Times named RedR as one of 20 leading
organisations helping to rebuild a broken world.
We dedicate this report to our staff, partners, Associate Tiainers, and members worldwide - whose
tireless efforts drive the growth in our ability to empower disaster responders, as celebrated here.
Thank you for your unwavering support of our mission.

Strategy
With 300 million people in need of humanitarian assistance in 2024,1 capacity strengthening
initiatives are more important than ever. Combining our competency in developing local
humanitarian capacities with our engineering heritage, RedR is positioned to address the current
and emerging gaps in humanitarian response capacity and contribute to long-term sustainability
and resilience.
Building on our strategic pillars, RedR is pursuing implementation of three transformation
programmes, delivered through our implementation plan. This implementation plan consolidates our
proven portfolio of world-class services and strengthens our organisational structure and business
model.
RedR's strategic pi Ilars are:
1. Work with other agencies to advance localisation through developing the organisational
capacity of local humanitarian actors.
RedR is well placed to support localisation work through our capability in capacity
building, reputation, and experience in working at a local level.
2. Through a streamlined training portfolio, extend the availability of competent, well-
prepared local humanitarian personnel.
RedR focuses the provision of training and learning services on the core humanitarian
competencies required in contexts highly vulnerable to humanitarian crisis.
3. Through collaboration with private, public, and development sector organisations.
facilitate access to specialist technical expertise.
There are few agencies with the necessary connections and neutrality needed to
facilitate understanding and cooperation between the private, public and development
sectors to supplement humanitarian capacities.
I UN OCHA, Global Humanitarian OveTview (2024)

4. Build a stronger, more flexible RedR UK.
We build on our unique competency in addressing critical skills and capacity gaps
within the humanitarian sector through clearly communicating our identity and
purpose, optimising the use of our resources, and drawing on the creativity and
expertise of our staff, members, associates and supporters.
In 2023 strategic development has included developments in programming structure such
as the restructuring of the Bridging the Gap, Technical, and Localisation Hubs into the
Humanitarian Services and Climate and Engineering Hubs. Delivering our services in a
localised manner is embedded as a principle across all our work.
Programmes
Strengthening Humanitarian Capacity
Using a range of diff erent project models working wilh individuals, organisations, and on sector-
wide initiatives, the RedR Humanitarian Hub has cumulative impact - building the capacity of the
whole sector to support people affected by disaster.
Equipping Every Humanitarlan
In 2023124 we've equipped individual humanitarians to respond effectively and create
change in their roles. Focusing that training on responders from local and community-based
organisations wherever possible, we support local capacity to lead disaster response. This
training helps set new standards and build new cultures, for more effective humanitarian
support across the system. With these purposes, we've trained humanitarians in a range of
competencies and contexts in 2023124. Working in Ukraine since 2021, in 2023124 we trained
389 responders in local and community-based organisations (CBOS) and municipalities. We
trained on topics they identified as the most urgent; including Protection from Sexual
Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA), Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (including gender. age,
disability, and LGB TQl+), and Gender-Based Violence in Situations of Armed Conflict.
Through our open and tailor-made courses, we've equipped humanitarians in competencies
in Monitoring and Evaluation, conducting Needs Assessments, Humanitarian Principles and
Practice, Training of Trainers, and Security Management. We've also highlighted certain issues
for specific focus in our training of individuals. In 2023124, we launched the Humanitarian
Analysis Learning Lab, to create a training standard for data analysts and decision-makers in
disaster contexts. Launching in March 2023, the Analytical Basecamp trains analysts in the
specific skills needed to ensure rapid, well-evidenced, and substantiated decisions can be
made in disaster contexts to support affected people. We also delivered training on
Innovation in the Humanitarian sector, bringing together 113 participants from local and
international NGOS in nine countries to explore approaches and build cultures of innovation.
The training equipped participants with the tools to test and scale innovative ways of working
in their own roles and organisations.

Strenglhenlng Organlsatlons
We've helped to build stronger local organisations in a combination of consullancy, coaching,
mentoring, and training this year - as well as forging connections between organisations,
strengthening networks, and supporting coalition building. A highlight of this aspecl of our
work was our partnership with the Global Nutrition Cluster. We've supported the
oiganisational development programme roll-out for a selection of local NGOS in Somalia
working on nutrition in emergencies. We trained 102 participants through programmes
tailored to client organisations including the World Health Organisation, USAID, and the
British Red Cross. We also delivered several tailored services in Ukraine. Working with UN
Women to train on Gender Equality in the Humanitarian Sector for civil society organisations,
we delivered our first evertraining with simultaneous sign-language interpretation, alongside
the Nalional Assembly of People with Disabilities in Ukraine.
"The GNC had the pleasure of partnering with RedR UK for a focus country localisation
project in Somalia 2023-24. From the beginning, there was a thorough understanding
of the aim and authentic care for the project, as well as its participants, that enabled
a partnership beyond the standard 'service provider, relationship.
'We cannot recommend RedR UK highly enough when it comes to organizational
capacity strengthening for humanitarian practitioners.
Alexandra "Alexa. Humphreys, Global Nutrition Cluster
Ralslng Standards in the Sector
Improving standards and approaches across the whole humanitarian sector, we work to
produce resources, standards, and frameworks to support disaster response. In 2023124 we
created digital learning resources and materials to strengthen care for survivors of conflict-
related sexual violence in Ukraine, in partnership with the Dr Mukwege Foundation.
RedR is also working to raise standards in the sector on a broader level, working alongside
the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation to host the WASH Road Map 2020-2025.
This initiative brings together 35 crucial organisations committed to new and innovative
approaches in the WASH sector. Following an extensive scoping study, analysing the
feasibil ity, desirabil ity and viability of each initiative of the WASH Road Map, RedR will host
the WASH Road Map until end of 2025.
Investing in Climate Resilience
The humanitarian sector must adapt to the burgeoning impacts of climate change. Our research has
informed our Climate Strategy to 2030, published this year. In our 2023124 Scoping Study, we found
a crilical need for targeted, in-depth capacity-sharing on climate resilience. Designed to strengthen
locally-led response, our climate training therefore equips disaster responders from local NGOS in
the parts of the world most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and the least well-resourced
to respond. Through technical training on topics they themselves identify as the most urgent, these
responders create the change that's needed in their own organisations.
Equipping Climate Professionals

We've completed the fourth year of our flagship Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster
Risk Reduction programme, supporting local climate responders in East Africa, South Asia,
and Southeast Asia to find contextualised solutions. Many training participants, working in
local government, academia, and NGO disaster response, are responding in real-time to
climate emergencies, using the knowledge and skills they gain from the programme straight
away.
Jemimah and Meroline's story
Jemimah and Meroline are Youth Ambassadors with SICAN Nursery, a disability-led social
enlerprise on Rusinga Island, Kenya. SICAN supports small-scale farmers with disabilities.
With a bursary from RedR, Jemimah and Meroline could join the online Climate Change
Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction programme, contextualised to East Africa. Since
then, they've replicated the training for their colleagues and the wider community, supporting
them to mitigate the flooding that impacts their community.
"As a young woman from a vulnerable community, facing profound marginalisation, I
have gained a lot from this training. I wish to implement everything I learnt in my daily
life.
Jemimah Martha Anyango & Meroline Atieno Odoyo
Strengthening climate capacity in underreported crisls
Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somalia are currently experiencing the worst drought in living memory. At least
36 million people in the Horn of Africa are severely food insecure. Alongside local NGOS Somalia
Lifeline Organisation and Somali Public Agenda, in 2023124 RedR has worked to enhance drought
resilience, delivering training for responders in these key countries. We also equipped new trainers
in Ethiopia and Somalia with facilitation skills for online training, to strengthen in-country training
capacity.
Supporting local responders means more timely, relevanl, and effective support for people affected
by disaster, led from the local level. Our local partners are now well-positioned to lead future
iterations of this or similar projects.
"I thank RedR for this golden opportunity. We need lo expand access to essential new ideas,
skills, knowledge and experiences. This builds up our capacity to serve and safeguard our
populations fiom vulnerability and poverty, through gaining technical skills and resources.
Training of Trainers participant, Mogadishu, September 2023
Championing Humanitarian Engineering
RedR began with engineer Peter Guthrie's experience in the 1970s Boat Crisis in Vietnam, envisioning
engineering expertise from around the world concentraled in disaster contexts for humanitarian
purpose. 40 years latei, we're proud to be doing just that - bridging two vital sectors to concentrate
the right expertise in the places it is needed most. We're equipping engineers working in crisis
contexts to use their expertise in humanitarian response.

In 2023124, we trained 932 engineers to respond to disasters.
Making Humanilarian Engineers
We're working to prepare engineers to support people affected by disasterwherever needed. Through
our training, we're setting new standards for good practice, and building new cultures of partnership
one humanitarian engineer at a time.
In a range of crisis Contexts this year, from acute emergency to disaster recovery, we've helped
engineers adapt their expertise for humanitarian crisis. Following floods in Eastern Libya and an
earthquake in the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco in the same weekend in September 2023, we
launched rapid technical support to engineers and other humanitarian responders. Due to demand
from around the world, in January 2024 we made the modules first launched in Morocco available
globally. In total, we've trained more than 1000 professionals from Gaza, Afghanistan, Ukraine,
Sudan, and many other contexts of humanitarian need worldwide.
We've continued support for responders to the earthquakes in Southern Turkiye and Northwestern
Syria in February 2023, which took the lives of more than 50,000 people.
We've trained 1,187 engineers and humanitarian responders, developed a pool of 116
specialists to provide on hand remote coaching, including coaching and mentoring 18
responders and training 74 new trainers to respond in future disasters.
Responding to demand from the Ukrainian Commission, we've trained engineers to conduct
structural damage assessments for blast and war-damaged buildings. We've also trained
experienced structural engineers to facilitate their own training. This in turn increases the number of
buildings safely and effectively assessed for damage by competent, effective teams. We've also
worked with Makerere University and the Uganda Institute of Professional Engineers to support
engineers in Uganda to adapt their expertise to humanitarian crisis contexts. This projecl gives
participants the opportunity to practice humanitarian engineering in leading their own projects, in
partnership with a local NGO.
Throughout, we prepare our partners to lead future iterations of this or similar projects.
Annet's story
The Rwamwanja Refugee Settlement in South-western Uganda is home to more than 78,000
people. Most are women and children, who have fled over the border from the conflict in
North Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Rwamwanja had an urgent need for clean energy. At the Mahani reception centre, residents
with specific health issues receive cooked meals. The clean energy system used by the
residents was, however, in disrepair and difficult to use.
Annet Nsiimire was able to use her microgrant to bring change. She began a partnership with
NGO Advance Africa to renovate twelve cooking stoves at Mahani, allowing the residents to
cook with clean energy.
"Immediately after we installed the stoves, new arrivals entered the refugee
settlement, and two mothers among them gave birth. Because of the easy access to
clean fuel, it was very easy to fix quick meals and access warm water to bathe the
newborn babies."

"When I heard of that success story, it was really fulfilling to my heart, that my very
own project is making a difference in the community.
Annet is now a Trainer on the Humanitarian Skills for Engineers course, passing on her skills
and experience to new cohorts of humanitarian engineers.
Thought Leadership: Engineering in Emergencies
Providing leading expertise, we are preparing for the publication of the third edition of our
seminal Engineering in Emergencies Handbook in 2024125.
24 years after the previous edition and following from our long experience in standards
development within the humanitarian sector, including creating the Urban Competency
Framework, ADCAP Disability Standards, and HPASS Humanitarian Standards, we are
coordinating a wide range of expert voices and technical specialists.
With contributions from leading engineering firms Arup, WSP, Buro Happold, and Molt
MacDonald, the Engineering in Emergencies third edition will be people-centred, risk-informed.
and rights-based.
Engineering in Emergencies has remained a consistent seller. Affected communities and field
engineers have relied upon the first and second editions for valuable practical information,
and demand continues for an accessible, concise, practical resource in this area. We have
adapted the resource to serve the purposes of an engineer local to the disaster-affected
country, who is pivoting from everyday projects to a crisis context. Equipping these
professionals not only with supplemental technical knowledge, but also with humanitarian
standards, principles, and other humanitarian competencies, we empower effective,
sustainable response.

Funding and strategic partnerships
Our commitment to better support for people affected by disasters is matched and catalysed by our
donors and partners, who share our vision. RedR's institutional and private sector partners, as well
as the trusts, foundations and individual donors who support us, strengthen and equip the
humanitarian sector through us. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to all those who have shared their
expertise, influence and funding to support our work in 2023124.
Individual Giving
Our incredible movement of individual supporters has continued to stand with communities
responding to disaster. Thanks to their generosity. in 2023124 our income from individual gifts
increased to £.
We're delighted to have been supported as charity partner at 11 awards dinners within the
engineering industry, including the British Construction Industry Awards, the New Civil Engineer
Magazine and the Institution of Structural Engineers Structural Awards, raising a total of £17,220.31.
We were also able to raise £16,897.58 through a range of fundraising events, notably through the
#GoRed fundraising week, and the London Marathon.
Private Sector Partners and Trusts and Foundations
Our Private Sector partners support us in many ways - by supporting us with vital unrestricted giving,
offering pro-bono expertise, and using their voice and platform to create dialogue around the issues
that matter.
Invaluable parlners such as the 1851 Comtnission, AXA XL, and WSP have helped us empower
engineers to transition into roles as tiaining designers and mentors within our disaster response
projects.
RedR also has valued relationships with a number of trusts and foundations including The
Cloihworkers Foundations, Jersey Ovefseas Aid and the JTI Foundation, partnering around a shared
vision for quality response in disasters.
Engagemenl Opportunities
In 2023124 RedR has continued to enjoy opportunities to celebrate partnerships and share our work.
We were recognised in the Financial Times as one of 20 leading organisations helping to rebuild a
broken world. We have also been invited to feature on Sky News, BBC Newsbeat, and ITV Good
Morning Britain in connection with our emergency responses in Morocco and Libya. We have also
been recognised through an invitation to the King's Humanitarian Reception at Buckingham Palace.
We were also thrilled to have the opportunity to present two sessions at the Humanitarian Networks
and Partnerships Weeks in May 2023 in Geneva, hosted by UN OCHA.

People and Accountability
Associate Trainers
RedR UK'S programmes are supported by around 200 Associate Trainers. Their expertise spans a
range of topics including Humanitarian Principles and Standards. Shelter and Settlement, Emergency
Response, Project and Programme Management, Organisational Management, Humanitarian
Negotiation Skill, Security Management, and Coordination and Leadership.
They are skilled learning and development experts, capable of designing and delivering face-to-face,
online facilitated, and self-paced trainings. This combination of practical experience in the
humanitarian sector and strong training expertise constitutes the bedrock of our work.
RedR trainers and consultants have undergone thorough recruitment, onboarding via Training of
Trainers, and performance management processes, to ensure that the knowledge, skills, and
cornpetencies utilised throughout our capacity building reflects RedR quality and standards. All are
assessed against our Humanitarian Training Competency Framework.
We recruit Associate Trainers globally, always preferring to recruit those local to the relevant
contexts of humanitarian need.
Mernbers
RedR's membership has formed the core of our response capacity to disasters since 1980,. and
through our pool of Associate Trainers, continues as the engine of RedR's exceptional expertise at
the cutting edge of contextualised humanitarian knowledge. Through the work of our Membership
Working Group, in 2022123 we initiated a strategic review to renew the contribution RedR's
membership makes to supporting communities affected by disasters globally.
The Members, Council has updated the application and assessment process for new Members. This
will be tested in the coming year with a pilot project aimed at prospective Members.
The Council consists of eight representatives elected by RedR UK Members and two Trustees elected
by Members, who report to the Membership at the Annual General Meeting. The Members, Council
is keen to encourage wider engagement from the Global South and engage RedR's stakeholders
globally to renew vision for the role of Membership in the organisation.
Staff Remuneration
In deciding appropriate pay levels, RedR aims to strike a balance between paying enough to recruit,
retain, and molivate high-quality staff, our employees, needs, and our donors, expectations that the
funds entrusted to us are stewarded wisely, to provide the best possible support to people facing
disaster through capacity strengthening.
RedR UK'S pay policy seeks to balance our values with the ability to attract and retain the best people
in our sector. In 2023 we undertook a comprehensive assessment of our salary structure, last revised
in 2018. Our evaluation involved aligning our salary scale with sector standards through comparisons
with pay surveys specific to the charity sector, remuneration in similar-sized inlernational non-
governmental organizations (INGOS), and a commissioned benchmarking study by XpertHR.
11

In addition to this we factored in the impact of inflation on our salary scale since 2018. Following
thorough consideration of our financial capabilities, the board of trustees approved a new salary
scale, to come into effect April 2024.
Safeguarding and Ethical Principles
RedR UK is committed to ensuring that we safeguard and protect all our partners, representatives,
staff, supporters and the communities we serve. RedR believes that everyone we come into contact
with has the right to be protected from all forms of harm, abuse, neglect and exploitation. We
recognise the increased vulnerability of people during humanitarian crises and safeguarding applies
consistently and without exception across our programmes, partners, staff and volunteers and it
appl ies during or outside of working hours, every day of the year. It involves proactively identifying,
preventing and guarding against all risks of harm, exploitation and abuse and we have mature,
accountable and transparent systems for reporting and responding when risks materialise. All
membeis of staff must undergo a mandatory training on safeguarding and must read all related
policies and procedures.
RedR has a zero-tolerance approach to sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) and does not allow any
partner, supplier, sub-contractor, agent or any individual engaged by RedR UK (RedR Representatives)
to engage in any form of sexual abuse or exploitation against vulnerable or other adults associated
with its work. All adults have the equal right to protection regardless of any personal characteristic,
including their age, gender, ability, culture, racial origin, religious belief and sexual identity.
Environment and Climate Reporting
Fighting climate change and its impacts on communities around the world is at the core of who we
are. Climale Change is one of our three core thematic areas, alongside Engineering in Emergencies
and Humanitarian Services. Climate is also a core cross-cutting issue integrated across all our
programming. Our projects enable us to influence many individuals and organisations, as well as
driving change at a sectoral level. Across all our programming, we equip humanitarians to better
adapt to the changing impacls of a more extreme and unpredictable climate and consider the
sustainability of the solutions they implement.
We ale committed to reducing our own impact and to suppoiting our partners and peers, both in the
humanitarian sector and the corporate world, as they reduce their environmental impact and find
innovative ways to safeguard the environment through their work.
In 2023124 we became signatories of The Climate and Environment Charter for Humanitarian
Organisations, hosted by the IFRC and joined by 400 organisations in the humanitarian sector. This
is a series of seven commitments that all humanitarian organisations are invited to make towards
fighting climate change and supporting affected communities.
The seven commitments are as follows:
1. Step up our response to growing humanitarian needs and help people adapt to the
impacts of the climate and environmental crises.
2. Maximise the environmental sustainability of our work and rapidly reduce our greenhouse
gas emissions.
3. Embrace the leadership of local actors and communities.
12

4. Increase our capacity to understand climate and environmental risks and develop
evidence-based solutions
5. Work collaboratively across the humanitarian sector and beyond to strengthen climate
and environmental action
6. Use our influence to mobilise urgent and more ambitious climate action and
environmental protection
7. Develop targets and measure our progress as we implement our commitments.
We have signposted our contributions to fulfilling these commitments throughout this report.
Reaching Net Zero
We're seeking to minimise our environmental impact and reach net zero - in line with Commitment
2 of the Climate Charter, above. Our greenhouse gas emissions are detailed below, under the
categories Scope 1, 2, and 3, the categories defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
Scope l emissions include all direct emissions under RedR's control. Scope 2 emissions encompass
indirect emissions, such as those produced by electricity used by RedR. Scope 3 emissions include
all other indirect sources of greenhouse gases from RedR operations, including those connected with
the day-to-day running of the organisation, and the goods and services that we use and provide. As
the charter guidance explains, the greatest part of emissions created by humanitarian organisations
will comprise Scope 3 emissions.
Scope 1 (RedR direct emissions): We have begun to track our travel emissions in 2023-24 via our
travel booking system. The next step will be to analyse the data, set targets, and begin to measure
our progress.
Our Associate Trainers, who deliver our face-to-face trainings globally, are predominantly local to the
country or region in which the training takes place, saving carbon through potential air travel.
Scope 2 (RedR indirect emissions through energy providers): since the energy that RedR uses in our
office space is provided by our hosts Arup, these scope 2 emissions are now classed as scope 3 (as
services that we enjoy). However, nole the energy provided via Arup is on a green tariff.
Scope 3 (RedR procurement, goods, and services): We are generously hosted by Arup, who provide
our office facilities. Arup has a target of net zero by 2030, and captures environmental data for water,
waste and energy. The RedR share of this data is being recorded.
We have a procurement policy whereby we are commitied to secure goods and services compatible
with our net zero ambition.
The following examples show we are reducing our impact: Online training: Much of our
learning and development facilitated by our global pool of trainers takes place online.
reducing the need for carbon-releasing travel from trainers and participants.
Paperless: our hybrid working model means that our administration uses digital tools rather
than paper.
In 2024125 we will continue to develop reporting mechanisms and processes on our organisational
environmental and climate impact, to take further steps towards net zero, as laid out in our Charter
commitment.

Trustees
RedR is governed by its Trustees, collectively known as RedR's Board, who are also its directors
under company law. The Board is accountable to people facing disaster, and to RedR's donors and
supporters in the UK and around the world, to ensure they have confidence in how RedR stewards its
resources. They are also accountable to the Members of the organisation, the Board Chair and other
Officers, to each Trustee, the CEO, and to RedR International.
Trustees are the final decisionmakers of the charity and have final responsibility for its success or
f allure. The Board's main job is to set direction and have oversight of its operational activities.
The Board is responsible for ensuring that regulatory and legal requirements of the organisation are
complied with.
Trustees (including the Chair) are appointed following open advertising including, where appropriate,
in specialist publicalions or on specialist websites and following a rigorous interview process.
Trustees are volunteeis and serve a term of three years (renewable up to a maximum of nine years)
The CEO, the Board Chair, and each member of the Board are subject to an annual appraisal. In
addition, for its own accountability the Board will review its own performance in governing the
organisation every two years, and every four years will commission a review involving an independent
external consultant, reviewing the skills, representations, contribution and attendance of Trustees
and the operation of the Committees.
In 2023124 the Board held eight scheduled meetings.

Reserves Policy
Good management of RedR UK'S finances and other assets enables us to succeed in delivering our
charitable aims. RedR is committed to the prudent use of funds and therefore requires reserves to
ensure we can fund our operations, fund any unexpected expenditure or any shortfalls in income.
Reserves enable us to carry Dn running operations despite future uncertainties. The rules for the
financial provisions are as described in sections 50 to 55, inclusive, of the Articles of Association.
We ensure that reserves are maintained to meet all statutory requirements and obligations should
we take the decision to wind down our operations. The focus for 2023124 has been to improve
cashflow and build reserves. At 31 March 2024 the balance of reseFves is £46,180 of which £46,180
is restricted and £0 unrestricted. The Trustees aim to build the unrestricted reserves to equivalent
of 12 weeks running costs.
Risk Management
The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and satisfied
themselves that systems or procedures have been established to manage those risks. We maintain
a detailed risk register. The relevant risks are considered by the appropriate Board Committee and
discussed by the Board as appropriate. When a significant risk arises, the Finance and Risk
Committee may choose to monitor the risk register more regularly. High and emerging risks are
reported and discussed at the Board.
On 25 September 2024 RedR UK became aware of a cyber fraud that took place between June and
September 2024. It has been reported to the Charity Commission and other interested organisations.
We are currently investigating the circumstances along with oui affected partners. The likelihood of
any contingent liability is unable to be estimated at this point.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non-compliance wilh 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 procedltres are capable of detecting irregularwties, including fraud is detailed below..
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance about actual and potential litigation or claims and
the identification of non-compliance with laws and regulations.
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged wilh goveinance.
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with
applicable laws and regulations.
Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries and other adjustments
for appropriateness: assessing whelher the judgements made in making accounting eslimates are indicative of
a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside
the normal course of business.
Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusltal or unexpected relationships that may indicatÈ risks of
material misstatemenl due to fraud.
Professional scepticism in course of the audit and with audit sampling in material audit areas.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk thal we will not detecl all irregularities, including ihose
leading to a material misstatement in the fir¢ancial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases
the more that compliance with a law or regulalion is removed from the events and transaclions reflected in the financial
statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also grealer regarding
irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment. forgeiy, collusion.
