REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The principal objectives of the company in the period under review were:

To promote any charitable purpose for the benefit of the travelling community in Europe and their families and friends, including the advancement of education, the promotion of health, the relief of poverty and the provision of facilities for recreation and leisure time in the interest of social welfare and improving the conditions of the community.

To advance public education and awareness about all aspects of the travelling community, its people, culture and values.

To advance education and relieve need by providing and assisting in the provision of training to enable and empower Travellers to have full access to a wide range of public services and security in the field of employment, education and other such needed skills.

To advance education for the public benefit, and in particular:

a) to promote the provision of facilities for the reception and care of persons who are in need, such as by providing refuge; b) to promote improved child welfare;

c) to promote information and liaise with health services with a view to improving facilities in a wide range of services in the health care sector;

d) to monitor civil and human rights abuse of Travellers;

e) to provide a support network and a communication network; and

f) to conduct research.

Public benefit

In shaping our objectives and planning our activities for the year, the Trustees have given consideration to the duties set out in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit. In particular, the Trustees have considered how the planned activities will contribute to the overall aims and objectives that they have set.

The Trustees believe that the paragraphs on the "Objectives" and "Achievements, Performance and Future Plans" for the year, relate in detail the benefit that the charity provides to the public.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The charity's object is to work towards a more equitable society where everyone has the right to travel and to stop without fear of persecution because of their lifestyle. FFT seeks to end racism and discrimination against Gypsies, Travellers and Roma, whatever their ethnicity, nationality, culture or background, whether settled or mobile, and to protect the right to pursue a nomadic way of life.

The policy adopted in furtherance of this object is to provide advice, information and casework services to Gypsies and Travellers, to research and raise awareness and understanding of Gypsy and Traveller issues among other bodies and agencies, to promote the health, education and social wellbeing of Gypsies and Travellers, and to lobby for change in order to ensure that the rights and responsibilities of Gypsies and Travellers are taken fully into account in the development of legislation, policy and practice at national, regional and local level.

The work is delivered through our skilled and dedicated staff and volunteer teams, increasingly coming from the diverse travelling communities.

The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act came into force in June 2022, shortly after this Annual Report's remit. Nevertheless, the Policing Act presents a monumental shift in the legal landscape concerning nomadism, warranting inclusion into this Annual Report. Romany and Traveller communities and civil society long warned of the damaging effects this law could have. We are already aware of the Act's use across the country. People and families who travel now have less choice for where to stop and more stark choices to make.

Challenges brought on by Covid-19 are now compounding with the Policing Act to create a perfect storm. From healthcare backlogs and cost-of-living crisis to a lack of stopping places, our work has become more urgent than ever before.

Despite this, we have been humbled by the resilience, perseverance and solidarity shown by Gypsy, Traveller and nomadic communities over the past year. From protest on Parliament Square to parliamentarians speaking up for Gypsies and Travellers in the Commons and House of Lords, we have witnessed society's understanding of Traveller and Romany communities shift and change.

At FFT, the heart of our work continues to be a practical advocacy and legal support service to Gypsy and Traveller communities across the UK, pushing to get a fair deal and protect the nomadic way of life. In the midst of these challenges, our work has never been more needed. Over the past year, we supported over 4000 Gypsy and Traveller people with issues ranging from education and benefits to housing and accessing white goods, through our Sussex Outreach and National Helpline.

Our Vision for Change is set to end this year and we'll be updating our strategy to continue tackling the issues that matter most to Gypsy and Traveller people.

Earlier this year, we held the FFT Awards 2022 at the Irish Embassy in London. Supported by Ambassador Adrian O'Neill and with Martin Beanz Warde as compère, we were privileged to be able to recognise the hard work and incredible achievements of people and projects from across the communities.

It's clear that the last year has featured many highs and lows, and we have been overwhelmed by the solidarity and support we receive from people from all walks of life. Your support allows us to stand up for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, and for the right to live a nomadic way of life. Our heartfelt thanks go to our volunteers, our incredible staff team, Trustees, partners and supporters. You make our work possible.

OUR IMPACT SUPPORTING INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES

Our outreach and casework team help people with the issues that matter most to them, from health to homelessness, education to financial inclusion and discrimination to employment. In total this year, we supported over 4,000 people in Sussex and across England. We continued to provide crisis support to families and children as Covid-19 continued and helped people get access to healthcare, financial support and a safe place to live.

We held workshops in schools across Sussex to help improve the educational outcomes of young Romany, Roma and Traveller people, where we learnt more about the young people's aspirations. The success of the project led to young people considering new opportunities, as well as Gypsy, Roma, Traveller History Month celebrations at the University of Sussex and participating schools.

Our Sussex Outreach team arranged a series of workshops as part of our Reaching Communities work, funded by The National Lottery. Open to all, we learnt about poetry and spoken word from the brilliant Damian Le Bas, blacksmithing from master craftsman Jake Bower, as well as traditional wreath-making, barge ware rose painting and silversmithing.

Our work supporting families in Brighton and Hove with Together Co., LGBT Switchboard, Trust for Developing Communities and Sussex Interpreting Services won Social Prescribing Partnership of the Year at the National Association of Link Workers' #LinkWorkerDay2022 Awards.

With Covid-19 still around, we worked with Arch Healthcare and Dr Tim Worthley to seek some answers to Frequently Asked Questions about the virus from Gypsy and Traveller people. We created a series of useful videos for easy reference, disseminated across our social media.

TRANSFORMING SYSTEMS AND INSTITUTIONS

Until the end of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill's parliamentary process, we stood alongside others at the vanguard of civil society's response to the Bill. Our work as Secretariat to the APPG for Gypsies, Travellers and Roma and the 6500+ emails you sent to MPs helped rally politicians to stand against the Bill. After the Bill's last debate, more than 630,000 people saw the solidarity shown by those who took part in our #WeRoamWithYou campaign. The Bill became an Act on the 28 June 2022.

Jeremy Clarkson, Jimmy Carr and Matthew Parris are just a few of the many columnists we reported to IPSO for discriminatory articles, day in day out. This hate does not go unchallenged, and Matthew Parris met with Romany and Traveller people to find out about the real impact of his words. Jimmy Carr's heinous 'joke' led to widespread condemnation from community members, civil society and even 120 parliamentarians called on Netflix to remove the show.

Our Inclusion Health tool, supported by NHS England and NHS Improvement, was developed with people with experience of health exclusion and partners at Homeless Link, Doctors of the World, National Ugly Mugs and Stonewall Housing. We are due to begin formal training in autumn 2022, but so far over 1100 people have attended our webinars and demonstrations!

In July, we released our report 'Locked Out: A snapshot of access to General Practice for nomadic communities during the COVID-19 pandemic', which showed 74 out of 100 GP surgeries broke NHS England guidance by failing to register our mystery shopper. The results of our research led to the Public Health England calling on Directors of Public Health to address the health inequalities experienced by Gypsy and Traveller communities.

We released a series of resources to support healthcare professionals in understanding barriers which may play a role in vaccine uptake, and further develop understanding of how healthcare services be more accessible to Gypsies and Travellers. The resources ranged from webinars on supporting vaccination for Inclusion Health groups, to videos for community members on how to access the vaccine.

RECOGNISING HERITAGE AND HISTORIES

Our theme for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month (GRTHM) 2021 was 'Make Some Space', calling on wider society to 'make some space' for Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people in their day to day lives. During the final week of June, we had a special focus on 'Proud to Be'-an opportunity for Gypsy, Roma or Traveller people to share what makes them proud about being from a Traveller, Roma or Romany background.

This year, we released a Crystal's Vardo digital theatre film for people to watch remotely at events around the world, including in schools and prisons. Once Covid-19 restrictions relaxed, Crystal's Vardo was able to go back on the road at the start of 2022 and has already been seen by over 1000 more people.

RESEARCH AND REPORTS

We carry out evidence-based policy research and develop reports to target injustice at all levels. Some of our key research projects and reports we have developed or contributed to this past year include:

o Briefing on accommodation issues facing Gypsies and Travellers in England

o The Guardian, Ofcom accused of institutional racism over Dispatches Traveller episode

o The Independent, UK GPs 'refused registration to Gypsy, Roma and Traveller patients' during Covid-19 pandemic o Mirror, Boris Johnson urged to 'throw the book at' Tory MP who made 'hateful' Gypsies remarks o The Times, Sometimes we need to stay silent and listen

COVID-19 IMPACTS

Severe health inequalities, combined with poverty, overcrowding and historic issues related to accommodation, put Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities at higher risk of being infected by COVID-19 and at greater risk of severe outcomes as a result of contracting COVID-19.

Worst affected were families on the roadside who found their access to water and toilets cut off. Families in caravans found social distancing impossible with many sharing shower blocks and toilets and no relevant or accessible advice on how to keep safe in their situation. Older and medically vulnerable Travellers were not registered as vulnerable and struggled to self-isolate. Although many of the direct effects of the pandemic have now receded, disruption to self-employment and the cost-of-living crisis have compounded the challenges of low-literacy and lack of digital access as many continue to struggle to access financial support. The demand on our services has continued at pandemic levels and we are challenged to meet demand.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The net incoming resources for the year amounted to £120,220 (2021: incoming £85,015). This comprised net incoming resources on restricted projects of £17,855 (2021: outgoing £31,663) and net incoming resources on unrestricted funds of £102,365 (2021: incoming £53,352) to be added to general reserves which, after transfers, now stand at £328,688 (2021: £226,323).

Reserves policy

The Trustee Board will seek to build the organisation's reserves to a level where they represent a minimum of three months operating costs. It intends to transfer £20,000 annually into a Reserve fund until this level is reached.

The Trustee Board will formally review its Reserves policy annually in the light of changes in the organisation's levels of income and expenditure and any other factors.

The Trustee Board will require FFT's Principal Officer to report to the earliest meeting of the Board in any circumstance where the total cash balance held by the organisation falls below £130,000.

FUTURE PLANS

The trespass provisions of the Police Act now make it a criminal offence for Travellers to park up, while at the same time the duty on councils to make provision for Travellers has been withdrawn. It thus becomes impossible for Travellers to settle, and likewise impossible to keep moving. We are increasing the capacity of our teams to advocate for and support the 3000 families who have nowhere to stop and to protect the nomadic way of life.

In light of these burning injustices, we are building on our ambitious and detailed 'Vision for Change' to develop a new strategy to help us to achieve our organisation's goal of ending racism, discrimination and inequalities faced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities.

In order to be effective in our mission, we will continue our focus over the coming years on accommodation, health, education and discrimination. We are also developing new programmes on economic and financial inclusion and addressing the impacts of climate change on our communities. The heart of our work will continue to be a practical advice and legal support service to all Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities across the UK, pushing to get a fair deal and protect the nomadic way of life.

Our plans, as everyone's plans this year have been severely disrupted by Covid-19 and we will continue to ensure that families affected by Covid-19 are supported to be safe and have equal access to essential services and to rebuild their lives.

We are proud allies to Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities and we are proud to lead a team of dedicated staff and volunteers from all parts of the travelling and settled communities. During the next three years and onwards we will have a strong focus on ensuring that Gypsy, Roma and Traveller people are heard by politicians, policy makers and the wider public and on empowering Gypsies and Travellers in our work and in our organisation.

Full details of the activities of the charity during the year are contained in the detailed Annual Report. Full details of our Vision for Change are set out in our Strategic Plan 2019-2022.

FUNDS HELD AS CUSTODIAN FOR OTHERS

At 31st March 2022, the charity was holding £78,148 f (31st March 2021 £54,470) for Moving for Change, a not for profit company with similar objectives which does not yet have its own bank account.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Friends, Families and Travellers, A Company Limited By Guarantee for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF FRIENDS, FAMILIES AND TRAVELLERS, A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Friends, Families and Travellers, A Company Limited By Guarantee (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31st March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

The figures for the comparative year were unaudited.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF FRIENDS, FAMILIES AND TRAVELLERS, A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

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 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:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 11

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF FRIENDS, FAMILIES AND TRAVELLERS, A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

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:

We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charitable company and the industry in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the charitable company that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We identified that the following laws and regulations are central to the charitable company:

We did not find any instances of non-compliance or breaches of the legislation framework applicable to the charitable company.

We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

We identified that the following areas were of high risk:

We focussed on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006, UK tax legislation, Charities Act 2011 and Charities SORP 2019. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries with management and enquiries of legal counsel when considered necessary. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of management bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF FRIENDS, FAMILIES AND TRAVELLERS, A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, including taking into account any potential impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and on that basis the charity is considered to be a going concern.

Income

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

This represents income from grants, donations and other fund raising activities. Donations are credited to the income and expenditure account in the year in which they are received.

Grants are recognised on an accruals basis, accounted for in relation to the period to which they relate. Where grants have been received for capital projects the costs have been capitalised on the Balance Sheet and depreciation, in accordance with the accounting policies, has been charged against that income.

Income is only deferred when:

Other income is credited to the income and expenditure account in the year to which it relates.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
