Company No: 03388001 ## **Recruitment and appointment of new Trustees** New Trustees are appointed by the Trustees, who may also determine the number of Trustees from time to time between a minimum of three and a maximum of eight (including the Football Body Trustee). The Football Body Members are collectively entitled to appoint, remove and replace one Trustee (the Football Body Trustee). No employees of the Charitable Company are eligible to be elected as a Trustee. ## **Organisational structure** Kick It Out is managed through a Board of Trustees, chaired by Sanjay Bhandari who was appointed as Chair in September 2019. The organisation has established two Board sub-committees with formal governance responsibility delegated by the Board: a People and Culture Committee and Finance and Risk Group. Each is chaired by a Trustee. The organisation has also established advisory groups from time to time, which have no formal governance role but which provide expert input on specific issues. These include a Football Advisory Board (chaired by the Chief Executive Officer of Kick It Out), an Antisemitism Working Group (independently chaired by Lord Mann) and an Islamophobia Working Group (independently chaired by Baroness Warsi). At the year end the Charitable Company employed 22 members of staff. ## **Induction and training of new Trustees** Upon appointment, new Trustees are provided with the most recent audited financial statements and copies of the previous year's minutes of Trustees' meetings. In addition, new Trustees are given a briefing by the secretary on the Charitable Company's policies and procedures. Further training requirements are assessed on the basis of need. Trustees are made aware of the availability of training courses to help them perform their role to the standards recommended by the Charity Commission.

Company No: 03388001 ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Funding from Football Body Members** Just under half of the resources received in the year were from the four organisations that are Football Body Members of the Charitable Company. As noted above, the four organisations nominate a single Trustee. ## **Risk management** The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charitable Company is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. Policies are in place to manage risk. The Finance and Risk Group meets at least quarterly, as a sub-committee of the Board, to monitor and assess risk and the culture and approach to risk management. The Finance and Risk Group reports regularly to the Trustees at every Board meeting. A description of some key areas of potential risk is set out below. ## **Financial Risk** The organisation, which has historically been core funded through the football bodies, has expanded its funding base over the last 3 years; this will be a key focus for further expansion in 2025 and beyond. ## **Reputational Risk** Kick It Out's profile remains high within the media. Kick It Out continues to work to develop further media partners to work collaboratively on campaigns. The Board also has Trustees with expertise in marketing, finance, strategy, law, fan engagement, the media, politics and professional football to ensure that the organisation maintains its strong and considered reputation.

Company No: 03388001 ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** Since 1993, Kick It Out has been at the heart of the fight against discrimination in football, leading the charge for positive change. Kick It Out will continue to lead the fight with a clear purpose and vision: - To support words with action, providing long-term solutions and tangible acts; and - To challenge ignorance and inequality, providing a voice for any individual or organisation; and - To educate, inform and direct our audience, giving them the tools for change; and - To mobilise and empower our allies so that our message becomes theirs; and - To confront all issues, from the dressing-room to the boardroom. ## **Voice. Skills. Talent.** ## **Voice: We’ll amplify unheard voices, lead debates on fighting discrimination and advocate for change** Through our working groups and networks, we’ll drive progress on issues like Antisemitism, Islamophobia and homophobia. We’ll guide best practice on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in sport. And we’ll work with partners to lead football’s response to online abuse, lobbying MPs to make sure the Online Safety Act (OSA) lives up to its name. ## **Skills: We’ll create understanding and build knowledge** Through our digital learning platform, we’ll make it easier for elite clubs, grassroots teams and everyone in between to learn how to fight discrimination. And we’ll scale up our fan education programme, to help more people found guilty of abuse to kick it out for good. ## **Talent: We’ll inspire opportunity and connect it with unseen talent** Battling inequality means creating more chances for people from every background. We’ll foster talent through initiatives like Raise Your Game, which helps people at every stage of their sporting careers develop new skills and confidence.

Campaigning and Communications** Kick It Out’s 2023-24 communications activity started by marking our 30th anniversary at Wembley, with a special event that launched our 30 year Impact Report. During the season our proactive communications focused on telling our audience about the work we do, building a foundation of all the areas we work in, so that we had a wider base from which to build on. This included policy areas such as the OSA, developing how we produced and highlighted our reporting service, showcasing our fan education work and producing a Grassroots Month of Action leading to unprecedented Sky Sports News coverage. We also developed the first stage of our Sexism and Misogyny campaign by producing and highlighting research in coaching, while also developing fan-based research and a communications plan for the full launch at the start of the 2024-25 season. We developed several collaborative communications relationships with the likes of Her Game Too, Level Playing Field and others to deliver content about sexism, neurodiversity and ableist language. There was also a concentrated effort to use the full range of our branding to have a more consistent look to our social media, plus boosting our marketing via a re-launched e- newsletter. ## **Media performance (via Onclusive Media monitoring tool) - (July 2023-June 2024)** - Articles: 2,627 (up from 2,225) - Potential reach: 1.74bn (up from 1.38bn) - Media value: £34m (down from £34.6m) ## **Social media performance (July 2023-June 2024)** Total Followers: 140,424 (up from 137,363) - X (formerly Twitter) followers: 92,939 (down 801) - Facebook likes: 18,122 (up 111) - Instagram followers: 21,000 (up 1,657) - LinkedIn followers: 7,243 (up 1,992) - YouTube followers 955 (up 80) - Reach: 7,034,656 (down from 10,811,126) - Engagement: 151,266 (up from 117,022) Page | 7 Docusign Envelope ID: 7F5A5BEF-22DB-4595-AE82-B2E6F38B3EAC For the Year Ended 30 June 2024 | Reg. Company No: 03388001 - Engagement rate: 2.1% (up from 1.1%) ## **Digital performance (July 2023-June 2024)** - Website users: 260,000 - App downloads: 1,174 - E-newsletter subscriptions: 2,600 (re-launched in 2023/2024 season) ## **2. Incident Reporting** For the 2023/2024 season, we received a record 1,332 reports of discrimination, which was a 32% rise on the previous season 2022/2023, and over double the 610 reports received in the 2021/2022 season. Encouragingly, reports received per incident rose for a fifth consecutive season, suggesting that fans are becoming less tolerant of discrimination and more willing to report it. Last season key findings show: - An increase in reports of discrimination at grassroots level, up 25% from last season (242 to 303) - Reports more than doubled on social media (281 to 589) - Racism remains the most reported form of discrimination, with a 47% rise in racist abuse (496 to 731) across all levels of the game - Faith based discrimination reports were also up by 34%, driven by a sharp increase in Antisemitism (63%) and Islamophobia (138%) - We also received more player-specific discriminatory reports in the professional game than ever before, with abuse targeting players soaring by 43% (277 to 395) ## **3. Policy and Public Affairs** We continue to lead discussions in football around equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and work closely with those in government to try and find pragmatic policy solutions to ensure the game is inclusive for all. Page | 8 Docusign Envelope ID: 7F5A5BEF-22DB-4595-AE82-B2E6F38B3EAC For the Year Ended 30 June 2024 | Reg. Company No: 03388001 ## **Football Governance Bill** : We have submitted several rounds of written and oral evidence to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) on provisions of the Football Governance Bill relating to EDI. Our suggestions were reflected in the Football Governance Bill currently progressing through parliament. We have instructed the University of York to create a comparative analysis report to enable us to consider recommendations for EDI related provision in the proposed Code for Football Governance under the Bill. We expect to publish our recommendations after the Bill receives Royal Assent. ## **Online Safety Act (OSA)** : The Act was passed in 2023. It will start coming into force early 2025. We continue to work across the following areas: - **User empowerment tools:** We are supporting Ofcom on some research to create a code of conduct that requires platforms to make tools available to enable users to control better what they see and to remove undesired content from their feeds. - **Supercomplainants:** The OSA enables certain organisations who act for groups of victims to have accelerated access to Ofcom to raise new emerging issues of behaviour on platforms. We are looking at building partnerships to monitor for both new behaviours and poor enforcement of Terms and Conditions by the platforms so we can create a regular supervision dialogue with Ofcom. - **Violence against women & girls (VAWG):** Ofcom has recently issued a report and, together with partners across the game, we shall be providing input to reflect the online experience of football participants. ## **4. Learning and behaviour change - Academy Education** Thanks to our Equality Inspires (Premier League) and Life Skills (League Football Education) programmes in 2023/24 Academy Players, Parents, and Staff undertook education and awareness workshops to broaden their knowledge around racism and discrimination in football. During the 2023/24 season, 2,630 young footballers, their parents, house parents and academy staff were part of these sessions, from as young as the under-9s age groups through to the Professional Development Phase players, including B Squads. The education provided in the academy programme includes: Page | 9 Docusign Envelope ID: 7F5A5BEF-22DB-4595-AE82-B2E6F38B3EAC For the Year Ended 30 June 2024 | Reg. Company No: 03388001 - The history of racism and discrimination in football - The Equality Act and how it protects people from discrimination - Types of abuse that continue to exist on and off the pitch - Racism and discrimination on social media - The impact music and popular culture can have on negative stereotypes - Understanding the various protocols that exist Parents, house parents and staff, have their own dedicated sessions as all have their own unique role to play in making football environments an inclusive place. At the end of each session delivered, a Smart Survey was made available via a QR code. Of the respondents, 73% selected "extremely necessary" to the question "How necessary do you think this session was?" ## **5. Digital learning** Nearly 2,500 individual users have now registered on our digital learning platform, The Academy. We have developed 7 new online courses and learning resources covering a range of protected characteristics, free for people to access and download. Course/resource list: - Team Talk - Play Your Part (KS3/4 misogyny and sexism teaching resources) - Team Talk – Celebrate Difference (KS3/4 racism teaching resources) - Being a Welcoming and Inclusive Grassroots Club (online course) - Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Football – For Coaches (online course, McDonald’s partnership) - Grassroots Reporting Toolkit (resource) - Disability Language and Terminology Guide (resource) - Sectarianism resource ## **2023/24 in numbers** : The following user and course data was gathered from user logs from theacademy.kickitout.org (1[st] July 2023 to 30[th] June 2024): - Of the 2,451 users signed up to The Academy, there are 4,162 course enrolments with a completion rate of 77.8% - 19,447 course views - 496 different organisations reached, including: 42 pro clubs, 73 grassroots clubs, 21 county FA’s and 275 schools/colleges Page | 10 Docusign Envelope ID: 7F5A5BEF-22DB-4595-AE82-B2E6F38B3EAC For the Year Ended 30 June 2024 | Reg. Company No: 03388001 We also partnered with Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL) at the start of the 2023/24 season, with the aim of providing match officials and staff at PGMOL with access to our EDI based online courses, hosted on PGMOL’s internal platform. Through this partnership, we were able to develop the understanding of over 700 match officials on different values, cultures, discrimination and under-representation across the game. This partnership will continue into the 2024/25 season, with scope to extend the same partnership to The FA. ## **PGMOL partnership in numbers:** - 4 courses released over the 23/24 season - Average of 751 staff / officials completed each course - 77.9% of staff / officials completed all 4 courses ## **6. Raise Your Game (RYG)** Our Raise Your Game programme returned in 2024 to support people from underrepresented backgrounds to thrive in non-playing roles. We’re soon to launch an online RYG hub to help people from these groups and beyond to find events, working opportunities placements and the latest vacancies. Feedback gathered from the attendees of the 2023 National Conference, sent via a Smart Survey link sent to attendees, was very positive. Close to three quarters (74%) of the attendees have now applied for a job in football, as a direct result of the advice they received, and skills they learnt at RYG 2023. In fact, over 40% now have jobs in the industry. Almost all (97%) attendees indicated that they would like to be mentored by an industry professional going forward. In light of these findings, Kick It Out created four RYG events for the 2024/25 season. Three events focus on specific areas within the industry: Media, Coaching and Backroom Staff. The final event is tailored to Women within the game. Page | 11 Docusign Envelope ID: 7F5A5BEF-22DB-4595-AE82-B2E6F38B3EAC For the Year Ended 30 June 2024 | Reg. Company No: 03388001 ## **7. Fan Education** In this season (July 2023 to June 2024), we worked one-to-one with even more people found guilty of discriminatory abuse, helping them see the damage they cause and why it has to end. Football cannot ban its way out of discrimination. We need to constantly call out and challenge the mindsets that lead to abuse – our fan education sessions are a vital way of doing it. Fans are referred to us by clubs, police and the courts. They have usually been given a warning or ban or prosecuted for discrimination, either in stadiums, on the way to games or online. In 2023/24, we delivered sessions to 117 fans. The fans involved had discriminated based on people’s race and ethnicity, sexual orientation or religion and belief – or a combination of these. Each education session is bespoke, but we always help abusers see why their behaviour is so damaging to individuals and communities. Some sessions even included a member of the footballing community that has been directly affected by similar abuse. Often, we’ll look at subjects like impulse control, anger management and hate crime legislation. Our sessions are increasingly being used as part of conditional cautions where offenders are required to meet certain conditions instead of being prosecuted. And in 2023/24 we continued to build on established links with Counter Terrorism Police, the Home Office Prevent Team, and the National Probation Service. All now continue to work with us to refer fans to our education service. ## **2023/24 in numbers** - We delivered sessions to 117 fans, up from 67 sessions in the previous year - Over half of referrals are made to Kick It Out within 3 months of the incident - 96.4% of referrals are made to Kick It Out after an incident has happened. Only 3.6% are an attempt at a preventative measure / early intervention - The average number of referrals per month has risen from under 2 to over 7 in two years (22/23 season: KIO received 14 referrals (1.17 pcm); 23/24 season: KIO received 85 referrals (7.08 pcm) - 59% of referrals come from police, with 36% coming from football clubs ## Page | 12 Docusign Envelope ID: 7F5A5BEF-22DB-4595-AE82-B2E6F38B3EAC For the Year Ended 30 June 2024 | Reg. Company No: 03388001 - 30% of fans referred to our education were aged under 18, 22% were 18-30, 24% were 31-50 and 15% were 51-60 ## **8. Fans for Diversity** In 2023-24 season we wanted to support and highlight EDI awareness days, weeks or months by telling stories from different communities through the Fans For Diversity network. This included a fan case study for Islamophobia Awareness month in November, another for Pride month in June, and another around Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities in July. In addition to this, we worked with Fans for Diversity supporter groups to produce a toolkit and film that showed how other communities could create their own fan groups. This was based on an idea that was developed after hearing from Jewish community fan groups, at an Antisemitism event in Chelsea, in November 2023. This toolkit was launched at the start of the 2024-25 season. ## **9. Grassroots** In 2023/24, we continued to help hundreds of grassroots clubs and leagues make sure everyone who turns up to play or watch football knows they’ll be welcomed with open arms. Lifelong memories are made on grassroots pitches every weekend. At Kick It Out, we help clubs and leagues get everyone involved – whatever their ethnicity, sexuality, gender and age. Our Equality Charter (EC) is at the heart of this work. Signing up to our EC shows clubs and leagues are committed to kicking out discrimination. In 2023/2024, we delivered workshops to 227 grassroots clubs and 24 grassroots leagues, helping them develop equality policies and set up clear processes to report abuse. Over 210 clubs have now signed up to our EC. We also supported 20 County FAs to audit their needs around equality, diversity and inclusion and produce action plans to fill in any gaps. We delivered six workshops to County FAs looking to take the next steps in tackling discrimination. 33 grassroots clubs also completed our Inclusive Club module via our Digital Learning Platform.

Company No: 03388001 Other highlights include: - Delivery of 80 hours of support to victims/ eye witnesses of discrimination. - Delivery of 3 workshops during the inaugural Continued Professional Development (CPD) day for McDonalds Fun Football Coaches. Over 100 coaches took part in an introduction to EDI for coaches workshop. - 99 coaches completed the Coaches E-Module featured on The Academy - The launch of an In-person workshop delivery programme for coaches of grassroots clubs. This in essence is a real life element of the E-module for Coaches. 20 sessions were delivered nationally.

Company No: 03388001 ## **FUTURE PLANS** ## **Continuing to lead the fight against discrimination in football** Driven forward by our love of sport, we’re here to fight discrimination. We’re here to make sure football is a game for everyone – and that means putting equality and inclusion up front. We were set up to fight racism in football in 1993. Then in 1997 we expanded to tackle all forms of discrimination. Since the beginning, we’ve made huge progress on and off the pitch, leading the charge for positive change. We’ve done it by raising awareness, confronting issues and helping our sport be better. Today, we run education programmes for academy players, parents and fans. We campaign to make sure football is always welcoming – to everyone. We support people from underrepresented and minority communities to make a career in football and thrive. And we call out discrimination wherever it happens – from your local park to the Premier League to your social feed. We all know Kick It Out shouldn’t have to exist. Our biggest hope is that one day football no longer needs us. But right now we’re here to put an end to every form of discrimination. We won’t stop until it stops. ## **Campaigning, research and a new strategic direction** Our communications strategy for 2024-25 involves a more proactive and strategic approach, ensuring clear and consistent messaging that reinforces our role in tackling racism and all forms of discrimination. Through authentic storytelling, we aim to reach a broader and younger audience. A key focus on our proactive communications is using data, research, and case studies to make our messaging evidence-based and impactful. We will use a combination of traditional media, digital platforms, and influencer partnerships to extend our reach. Additionally, we have developed clear Points of View for key policy areas, providing a structured, transparent, and evolving framework that guides our messaging. Our reactive communications have also been updated, moving beyond condemnation to offering real solutions and seeking accountability. When incidents occur, we will not only call them out but also highlight what needs to change and who must take responsibility. This approach ensures that our messaging remains authentic, and solution driven. Digital and social media will play a crucial role in engaging audiences more effectively. We are developing a range of assets, including video content showcasing our work in policy, reporting, education, and grassroots initiatives; explainer content on key issues such as the lack of Black Page | 15 Docusign Envelope ID: 7F5A5BEF-22DB-4595-AE82-B2E6F38B3EAC For the Year Ended 30 June 2024 | Reg. Company No: 03388001 managers, South Asian representation, the Independent Football Regulator, and the Online Safety Act; and visual assets like graphics to simplify complex topics. A key next step is ensuring our response to incidents and wider issues is rooted in authentic storytelling. This means drawing on insights from colleagues, subject matter experts, and lived experiences, while maintaining consistency through our Points of View framework. By doing so, we will look to develop a more impactful, informed, and credible voice in football. In September 2024 we launched a Kick Sexism Out campaign, focusing on our work to tackle Sexism and Misogyny. The campaign included research that delves into women’s experiences at men’s football matches, to highlight and address issues happening across the game. As part of the campaign, we continue to drive discussions with clubs, governing bodies, and policymakers about improving reporting mechanisms and creating safer matchday environments. We will also be working on an educational document for clubs looking at how to address sexist abuse. Looking ahead, we aim to expand our focus to address sexist chanting in stadiums and online sexism, particularly in the lead-up to the Women’s Euros taking place in summer 2025. We will be working to ensure the OSA is used to hold platforms accountable, while encouraging women to report abuse and challenging online misogyny through awareness and advocacy around this issue. We have also appointed an agency to deliver a strategic review for Kick It Out. Key focus areas for the strategic review include: - Delivering outcome focused programmes - Diversifying our income streams through new partnerships - Delivering scalable programmes with measurable social impact - Identify the role Kick It Out plays in the football ecosystem - Exploring new growth areas across football and sport We plan to launch our new 2025-2030 strategy in August 2025. ## **New governance structure** We updated our governance rules to create greater independence of football bodies. We recruited and onboarded four new Trustees mapped to the skills we identified were necessary, which included: data, commercial, marketing and finance.

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. Page | 19 Docusign Envelope ID: 7F5A5BEF-22DB-4595-AE82-B2E6F38B3EAC For the Year Ended 30 June 2024 | Reg. Company No: 03388001 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. ## **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 Page | 20 Docusign Envelope ID: 7F5A5BEF-22DB-4595-AE82-B2E6F38B3EAC For the Year Ended 30 June 2024 | Reg. Company No: 03388001 - 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. ## **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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: - The Charity is required to comply with Charity Law and, based on our knowledge of its activities, we identified that the legal requirement to accurately account for restricted funds was of key significance. - We gained an understanding of how the charity complied with its legal and regulatory framework, including the requirement to properly account for restricted funds, through discussions with management and a review of the documented policies, procedures and controls. Page | 21 Docusign Envelope ID: 7F5A5BEF-22DB-4595-AE82-B2E6F38B3EAC For the Year Ended 30 June 2024 | Reg. Company No: 03388001 - The audit team, which is experienced in the audit of charities, considered the charity's susceptibility to material misstatement and how fraud may occur. Our considerations included the risk of management override. - Our approach was to check that all restricted income was properly identified and separately accounted for and to ensure that only valid and appropriate expenditure was charged to restricted funds. This included reviewing journal adjustments and unusual transactions. 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. Page | 22 Docusign Envelope ID: 7F5A5BEF-22DB-4595-AE82-B2E6F38B3EAC For the Year Ended 30 June 2024 | Reg. Company No: 03388001 ## **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. ## [Seo ludit limited **Sedulo Audit Limited** Statutory Auditor 605 Albert House 256-260 Old Street London EC1V 9DD 11-Mar-2025 | 4:06 PM GMT …………………………. 2025 Page | 23 Docusign Envelope ID: 7F5A5BEF-22DB-4595-AE82-B2E6F38B3EAC For the Year Ended 30 June 2024 | Reg.

Restricted funds are funds to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The cost 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. ## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** The Charitable Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme.
