Trustees’ report Year to 30 June 2021

The trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of Facing History and Ourselves (the “charity”) for the year ended 30 June 2021. They confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charity's governing document and have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to Charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP FRS 102). The address of the charity's registered office, together with other reference and administrative information, is detailed on page 1.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Constitution

The charity was registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 11 February 2004, as amended by written resolution dated 29 March 2004, with charity number 1103592. It has been operating in the UK independently of Facing History and Ourselves, Inc., based in the US, since its formation. A decision was taken to convert the charity from its legal status as a charitable company limited by guarantee to one of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The charity’s conversion was accepted by the Charity Commission on 31 October 2019 and with effect from 31 October 2019 the charity is constituted as a CIO.

Related party relationships

The charity is a partner of Facing History and Ourselves Inc. (FHAO). FHAO is an organisation based in Massachusetts in the USA which was founded in 1976. FHAO supports an active network of over 100,000 educators with eight locations in the USA, separate partner charities in the UK and Canada and partners around the world, including in South Africa and France.

The US partner of the charity acts as its advisor at the recommendation of the Board of Trustees and provides management services to the charity. Services to support Facing History dissemination in the UK are also provided by FHAO staff working from the US under a 2015 Memorandum of Understanding.

Key management personnel

The key management personnel of the charity comprises the trustees and the Executive Director. The day to day running of the charity is overseen by the Executive Director who is supported by a small staff team. The Executive Director reports directly to the Board of Trustees and receives support from FHAO. Trustees set the salary levels for key management personnel, taking advice from the HR team providing support from Facing History and Ourselves Inc. and an independent salary benchmarking company to ensure the recommendations made to trustees are sufficient to ensure appointment of appropriately skilled and experienced staff whilst also taking account of the size and financial position of the charity. Key management remuneration for the year is detailed in note 7.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)

Roles of trustees and advisors

The strategic direction of the charity is the responsibility of the trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Constitution. The number of trustees shall not be less than three. Trustees are expected to be well informed about the charity's work and are encouraged to keep themselves up to date.

The charity shall call a General Meeting for any decisions that the members are required to take in addition to any other meetings in that year. The general meeting is held at such times and places as the trustees deem appropriate. The charity also works with an Advisory Board which meets three or four times a year. They provide leadership on fund-raising, outreach, and consultation on programmes.

Method of appointing trustees

When recruiting new trustees, the charity considers the candidate's professional qualifications and commitment to the Facing History mission and our work. We conduct recruitment through written applications followed by interviewing short listed candidates. The potential trustee's candidacy is then introduced to the trustees for a vote. There must be a majority vote to elect. Trustees receive general induction about the operations of the charity and are provided with the Good Governance Code to understand their responsibilities. Ongoing training is then tailored to the needs of the trustees.

Risk management

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks. A risk management policy and risk register are in place for the charity. The greatest risk to the charity this year has continued to be the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic especially on the ability to raise funds and to deliver services in person. In terms of the former, trustees have managed this risk by maintaining a tight budget for the financial year. This has resulted in a reduction in the planned growth of the charity but will preserve its assets and resources for more stable times. The charity has moved more of its services online and is continuing to develop new resources and virtual training opportunities for teachers. At time of writing all staff are continuing to work from home with a plan to transition to a hybrid model of home and office working in FY22.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Aims and objectives

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance.

The principal object of the charity is to advance the education of the public and in particular children and young people in human rights and good citizenship by:

Activities

Facing History and Ourselves uses lessons of history to challenge teachers and their students to stand up to bigotry and hate.

The charity is a professional development organisation, supporting teachers to help students make essential connections between the past and their present, by exploring issues of identity, belonging, and bias. Our work encourages students to think critically, igniting inclusive conversations to address how we can build and nurture a society free from racism, religious intolerance, bullying, and hatred.

As of 30 June 2021, we have worked with over 4,500 educators since the charity was founded.

These activities are led by charity staff made up of a full time Executive Director, a Programme Associate, a part-time Content Developer, a Programme Administrator and until June 30 2021 a part-time Office Manager. Moving forward two new full time roles will be introduced, a Development and Operations Administrator and a Development Officer.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)

Main activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit

Despite the challenging and disrupted educational year the charity increased its reach significantly during the year. Over 1,600 new teachers joined our growing network and 668 teachers participated in training with us – an increase of 267% compared to the previous year.

The charity created and published new resources for teachers to support their work both virtually and in classrooms including publishing two new teaching units.

In addition to these two major units the charity also published a Back to School Toolkit designed specifically to provide teachers with ways to create connected community learning environments both on-line and in person and teaching ideas to support teachers engaging with students about important topics such as racism, violence against women and how the version of history we are told shapes our worldview.

All of our training throughout the year was delivered online and in addition to the Teaching An Inspector Calls and Holocaust and Human Behaviour courses, other topics covered included: creating inclusive classrooms, remembering our past and reflecting on how we teach history, talking about climate change and how it connects to social injustice and exploring the fragility of democracy.

Throughout the year the charity hosted several online events aimed at raising our profile and securing donations and support for the charity. These included several small salons for prospective donors, an online conversation with Professor Binna Kandola and an online fundraising event in June, Facing History Now: The Future We Choose. This latter event was our first full virtual fundraising event and focused on the links between Climate Change, social injustice and why it is important to educate young people to become upstanders.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The financial year 2022

Moving into the financial year 2022, the charity enters the third year of its five year strategy. Our three strategic aims are:

As schools return to what will, hopefully, be a more regular school year it remains to be seen how schools and teachers will engage with external partners. For the first part of the year we expect to continue to deliver most of our training virtually, and that this will remain a strong part of our provision going forward. In the latter part of the financial year the charity hopes to return to some in person events to complement the online offering.

Plans are in place to develop several new resources across this academic year which will include:

In addition the charity will continue to work with our US partner organisation to adapt suitable resources produced there for UK classrooms.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The results of the charity are set out on page 10.

Despite the pandemic and challenging financial climate, during the year ended 30 June 2021 the charity was able to exceed the cautious targets that were in the budget at the outset of the year. This was partly due to an increase in corporate support following the spotlight on racial inequality and also due to a revitalised Advisory Board actively working with trustees and the Executive Team to implement outreach and create new connections for the organisation. These efforts came together for the virtual fundraiser in June which generated in excess of £50k for the charity. Expenditure remained tightly managed and due to the circumstances of COVID-19 and our inability to do in person work there was less outgoings on non staff expenses than planned. The charity continued to make use of the governments Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme throughout the first quarter of the year. The net result of this is that the charity ended the year in a position to contribute further to reserves and therefore be able to invest in new posts in 2022 to increase fundraising activity. Total income for the year was £473,080 (2020: £573,499) and total expenditure was £333,509 (2020: £451,606). During 2021 there was a surplus of £139,571 (2020: surplus of £120,893).

Trustees’ report Year to 30 June 2021

FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

The total funds of the charity at year end were £481,525 (2020: £341,954).

Reserves policy and going concern

During FY21 the charity continued its cautious approach to managing the budget and minimising expenditure, given the ongoing pandemic and impact this has had on ability to raise funds.

The charity had free reserves of £472,456 (2020: £329,454) at 30 June 2021 which carry no donor restrictions and may be used to carry out any of the charity's objectives. This increase in reserves provides some protection from the ongoing financial implications of the pandemic to the charity. Income for 2022 is forecast as similar to 2021 and trustees have determined that £72k of free reserves be used in FY22 to allow the charity to develop its fundraising and income generation capacity which is needed to ensure longer term sustainability. The trustees are committed to ensuring that there are 6 months of core operating costs (£145,000) held in reserves and based on the 2022 budget, the reserves exceed this criteria.

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements.

For FY22 trustees have committed extra resource to fundraising so that the charity can work to increase the income of the organisation despite the challenging fundraising climate. Given the reserves position outlined above, at the time of signing trustees can be confident that the organisation has sufficient funds for the next 12 months. The trustees therefore deem the charity to be an ongoing concern

The financial statements have been prepared based on the expectation of the charity continuing as a going concern for the next twelve months. The Trustees believe that there are no uncertainties regarding the financial statements being prepared on a going concern basis.

Principal accounting policies 30 June 2021

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are laid out below.

Basis of preparation of financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared for the year ended 30 June 2021 with comparative information provided with respect to the year ended 30 June 2020.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or the notes to these financial statements.

Facing History and Ourselves meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

The financial statements are presented in sterling and rounded to the nearest pound.

Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Income

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donated services or facilities are recognised when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteered time is not recognised although further information on volunteers’ contribution can be found in the trustees’ report.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Facing History and Ourselves 13

DocuSign Envelope ID: 66B54333-D1EF-4AFF-8723-4D9F2D7A4BF9

Principal accounting policies 30 June 2021

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including governance costs involved in undertaking each activity.

Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Assessment of going concern

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements.

During FY21 the charity continued its cautious approach to managing the budget and minimising expenditure, given the ongoing pandemic and impact this has had on ability to raise funds. Additionally, for FY22 trustees have committed extra resource to fundraising resource so that the charity can work to increase the income of the organisation despite the challenging fundraising climate. The charity finishes FY21 with £472,456 in free reserves and based on current forecasts it is expected that £72,000 of these reserves will be utilised in FY22. This will leave approximately £400,000 in reserves for FY23 as well as £9,000 already committed in new income. This figure is in excess of six months running costs and therefore at the time of signing trustees can be confident that the organisation has sufficient funds for the next 12 months. The trustees therefore deem the charity to be an ongoing concern

The financial statements have been based on the expectation of the charity continuing as a going concern for the next twelve months. The Trustees believe that there are no uncertainties regarding the financial statements being prepared on a going concern basis.

Operating leases

Rentals under operating leases are charged to the statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity.

Principal accounting policies 30 June 2021

Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction.

Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account.

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.

Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year.

Significant judgments and estimates

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Evaluation Project funds were provided to enable us to undertake evaluation of any of our work. The use of the funds was delayed due to schools being largely closed in March 2020 until September 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During FY21 an evaluation partner was appointed, pilot evaluation plans for Teaching An Inspector Calls and Teaching Holocaust and Human Behaviour were developed (some of this was funded by the Holocaust and Human Behaviour project funding). The evaluation studies will be undertaken in FY22 with schools already signed up to participate.

The Holocaust and Human Behaviour and Contemporary Antisemitism Project aims to increase the number of schools teaching Holocaust and Human Behaviour (HHB) in the UK, providing the tools and support teachers need to ensure that their students understand the legacy of the Holocaust and the ongoing dangers of antisemitism today. Funds were used in FY21 to promote the resource, run an introductory webinar and a two-day online seminar. Evaluation plans were developed and the planning for the contemporary antisemitism project was initiated.
