4 MESSAGES FROM OUR LEADERSHIP

Over the past few years, vulnerable children around the world have faced further inequalities and hardship as a result of the pandemic.

As the new Chair of Right To Play UK’s board of Trustees, I feel immense pride taking on this role at such a pivotal time in our 22-year history.

It’s been inspiring to see how our expert teams have adapted our work to support the most vulnerable children through the pandemic, keeping them safe, engaged and educated.

In response to these challenges, we’ve strengthened our resolve at Right To Play to help these children attend and finish school, to support their stand against exploitation and abuse, and promote their right to have their voices heard. Because we can’t, and we won’t, give up on their futures.

I’m incredibly grateful to our partners, ambassadors and supporters who continue to raise vital funds that help us harness the power of play to transform children’s lives. Their generosity meant we could help out-of-school children return to finish their education, ensure more girls could claim their rightful seat in school, and support Right To Play-trained teachers and coaches in 15 countries around the world.

It was an honour to join Right To Play UK in November and see how we’re rising to the challenge and supporting children’s development even in the toughest conditions. Our dedicated teams are advancing and championing play-based methods to unlock children’s potential, challenge gender inequality, and improve children’s access to quality education.

I hope you will join me in thanking my predecessor Simon Holden for his dedication over the years and in giving our incredible team every support possible as we drive our new strategy forward. Together, we can ensure positive change for children in the years ahead and empower the next generation to rise above the challenges holding them back, using the power of sport and play.

We couldn’t achieve any of the successes shared in this report without each and every one of the fantastic supporters, donors and partners helping us deliver our mission. I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you. With you by our side, we can achieve our vision to empower 100 million vulnerable children by 2030 with the education and skills they need to rise above adversity.

MESSAGE FROM OUR GLOBAL LEADERSHIP

2021 was a year of great challenges for children. COVID-19 rolled back years of progress on the advancement of children’s rights, especially those of girls.

School closures pushed more children into poverty, child labour, early marriage and pregnancy, and widened the learning gap. The pandemic and other conflicts increased the incidence of mental health challenges in children and displaced more families from their homes.

We knew that a crisis of this scale meant that we must fight even harder to uphold the right every child has to a quality education and the hope of a better future.

Early in the year, we launched our 2021-25 strategic plan, charting an ambitious course that will see us lay the foundation to empower 100 million children by 2030 with the education, skills, and opportunities they need to rise above adversity and create a more peaceful and equitable world. Our POWER video resource provided 100 Right To Play games to teachers, coaches, and caregivers for the first time through an open-source platform. It is just one of the ways we are innovating to share 20 years of learning and expertise with an increasing number of children and organisations.

Throughout the year, when we spoke with our staff, junior leaders, coaches and community partners, we were constantly impressed by their creativity and commitment to making things happen for children. Our teams were full of new ideas about how we could lead the way in promoting children’s development even in the face of escalating and intersecting crises. In 2021, we collaborated on five studies with academic partners to examine how we can continue to evolve programmes to meet children’s changing needs using new approaches, technology, and tools.

Results from education programmes in Ghana showed 89% of girls were demonstrating leadership in their classes, up from 74% at the start of the programme. Results from programmes in Mali showed 36.5% of girls who were working in mines are now back in school or safer kinds of work. We also focused on impact at the governance level, building strength in our international and national advisory boards that will help us become an ever more innovative and effective organisation – sharing powerful learnings and best practices across geographies and cultures.

All of this work was only possible thanks to supporters like you. Thank you for standing by the world’s most vulnerable children during an extremely challenging year. We are proud and grateful to have you by our side as we continue to empower children to claim their right to a brighter future.

Susan McIsaac Dag Skattum CEO, Chair, Right To Play International International Board of Directors

HOW DELICE IS

cultivating creativity

Delice, 13, was one of more than 11 million girls around the world at risk of dropping out of school permanently due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A Right To Play club helped her strengthen her reading skills, even while schools in Rwanda were shut down, and inspired a love of language that helped her win first prize in a poetry competition. Now she’s back at school and is sharing her passion for poetry with her peers.

“ When I heard that I won the poetry competition, I was very happy and I decided I would help my friends study so that one day they can win too.

Let’s Protect the Crested Crane A poem by Delice

I start by praising the crested crane. Crested crane supports development. Crested crane attracts visitors.

They come to see how amazing it is and we get foreign income.

The crested crane lives in forests and mostly in swamps. I can’t forget to narrate about its appearance.

Crested crane, you bring about peacefulness. Crested crane, you look so attractive. You bring peace and that peace spreads everywhere. We feel so good. Visitors come in big numbers.

They see how it honks surrounded by its chicks. They see how it takes care of its chicks.

You are shining as you are the most beautiful.

And this makes Rwanda most attractive, even if it is not easily found in Rwanda. Let’s keep it safe everywhere. Let’s protect it against wrongdoers. Among those wrongdoers, we can speak of hunters.

Hunters, do not target the crested crane, but keep them safe.

Let’s protect crested cranes because they are very important for Rwanda. We need to protect them and take care of them, to be helpful. They attract visitors who happily come to see them, And our country Rwanda keeps developing. Keep developing, Rwanda, as you have your wonders.

Delice’s poem was originally written in Kinyarwanda.

16

We help children learn how to guard themselves against abuse and exploitation. We create spaces where children feel safe and respected. We teach adults to build stronger relationships with children and to defend their rights. We empower children to heal and grow from trauma by supporting their psychosocial development.

STANDING UP TO FGM

Adele is a youth leader in Tanzania, where she’s empowering young women to resist female genital mutilation (FGM) and child marriage. When a girl stops attending classes, Adele and her club visit the girl’s home and speak to her parents about the value of education for girls and ask for their support in sending their daughter back to school.

Like lots of girls in my village, I was at risk of having my dreams cut short by a marriage or a pregnancy before I had finished school.

Adele, youth leader, Tanzania

PROTECTING GIRLS FROM VIOLENCE

Better data on gender-based violence will help us identify the most effective ways to prevent it. In 2021, we designed and piloted participatory tools for tracking gender-based violence and the barriers to success that girls face with the help of the Global Women’s institute, Canada’s University of the Fraser Valley, Uganda’s Macere University, and the American University of Beirut. These tools are being piloted in Uganda and Lebanon, where stakeholders come together and host workshops to discuss what they see as the most significant issues for girls and the most effective interventions to support them. Then they use these insights to generate contextual, locally informed analysis that will help develop programming that is responsive to girls changing needs.

RECOVERING FROM TRAUMA

Children experiencing displacement need to build strong familial, peer and community bonds to cope with negative emotions and recover after loss. In Uganda, we brought together more than 1,200 youth and 400 parents from three refugee settlements for sports tournaments, play days, and workshops aimed at

creating a sense of community and belonging, getting kids talking to one another and to their parents, and promoting a shared sense of responsibility for children’s well-being. The programme is a partnership with AVSI Foundation, Youth Sport Uganda, the Uganda Olympic Committee and UNHCR, and was funded by the Olympic Refuge Foundation.

PROMOTING SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS

Better access to sexual and reproductive health education empowers young women to take control of their bodies and their futures. In 2021, we formed a consortium that will deliver the Sexual Health and Reproductive Education (SHARE) project, which will help 225,000 teenagers in Ghana, Mozambique, and Uganda access sexual and reproductive health education and services. SHARE is a partnership with FAWE, FHI360, and Water Aid, funded by the Government of Canada.

Children are facing the greatest educational crisis of our generation. School closures in 2021 meant hundreds of millions of children lost months of education. They joined the millions of children who were already out-of-school prior to the pandemic. We helped children to access remote and informal learning opportunities, educators to strengthen school systems as they safely reopened, and out-of-school children to return and finish their education.

BLAZING HER OWN TRAIL:

Arfaana is the first member of her family to go to school. She convinced her father to let her go by refusing to take “no” for an answer. That same determination has only grown as she’s fallen in love with education. She wants to be a doctor, so when a teacher tried to transfer her to studying arts instead of science, she passed her science courses with top marks to prove she deserved to stay.

TINKERING AND CODING

Learning about tinkering, coding, and robotics is empowering Rwandan children to think critically, express their creativity, and build their leadership and teamwork skills. In 2021, Right To Play launched Plug In Play, an innovative new programme that is supporting children to learn basic principles of technology (coding, tinkering, and making) through playful lessons. In partnership with the LEGO Foundation, we’re working with the Rwandan Ministry of Education to integrate playful learning into the science curriculum and train teachers on how to support students to engage in hands-on learning in the classroom.

DATA-DRIVEN SOCIO-EMOTIONAL LEARNING

Social and emotional life skills are crucial for children’s healthy development, helping them to advocate for themselves, cope with negative experiences, and forge stronger relationships with other people. In collaboration with the universities of Notre Dame and Dar es Salaam, we’re pioneering a new tool that will

measure how children develop context-appropriate social and emotional learning skills. With the rich new data collected by this testing, we will be able to more easily and rapidly identify the most effective methods of strengthening children’s holistic life skills across different programmes and share those lessons where they can make the greatest differences for children.

PARTNERING FOR SCALE

We want to reach more children than ever before with the opportunity for active, experiential learning. Creating enduring and sustainable changes in children’s classroom experiences on a national scale means partnering with governments to strengthen teachers’ skills and support. In 2021, we continued to support the ministries of education in Rwanda and Ghana to integrate play-based methods into classrooms and curriculum delivery. We also introduced a new partnership with the LEGO Foundation and BRAC that will see us use our experiences in these contexts and support the ministry of education in Sierra Leone to integrate playful learning in primary classrooms.

In 15 countries, Right To Play-trained teachers and coaches filled classrooms and play spaces with energy and positivity, and gave children a reason and a way to fight against adversity and hold on to hope. Junior Leaders stood up against injustice and supported their peers to do the same. Girls claimed their rights to stay in school and in the game. And we shared our resources far and wide so more children and youth can be empowered through play.

MORE THAN WINNING:

Physical education can encourage gender stereotypes if it’s not taught properly. In the Palestinian Territories, girls are encouraged to skip PE class, while boys are sorted into sports teams and told to focus on winning. Haitham is a physical education teacher and coach who is challenging these norms and empowering girls to participate. He’s using physical education classes and after-school sports programmes to create positive, supportive environments for all children.

He helps boys understand that sports aren’t just about winning but about self-improvement, and he’s been encouraging girls’ participation in sports activities they are normally discouraged from. Haitham believes that every child can reach their potential when they have the right support.

THE POWER OF PLAY

INCREASING GENDER EQUALITY IN SPORT

Gender-based violence and discrimination prevents girls in Senegal from claiming their rights or finishing their education. We are empowering Senegalese girls to become changemakers who can challenge the forces that are trying to limit their futures through the RECAF-Jeu project, funded by Global Affairs Canada. The programme will use sport and play to help girls build their confidence, learn about their rights and address rights violations, and sensitise parents, caregivers, and other adults to the importance of gender equality. The project will also encourage positive masculinities amongst boys and provide girls with sports opportunities where they can develop their abilities and agency in safe, supportive spaces.

Open-access digital resources can empower more teachers, coaches, parents, and caregivers with tools to help children develop the life skills they need to thrive in today’s world. The Play Opportunities for Wellness and Education Resource (POWER) games video collection, released in 2021 with the support of the LEGO Foundation, makes more than a hundred Right To Play games freely available in English, French, and Arabic for the first time, for use at home and in school.

The games empower educators and caregivers to teach children everything from managing their emotions and resolving conflicts to building trust and improving their self-esteem.

UK HIGHLIGHTS

As the pandemic continued to have a huge economic impact on communities in Bangkok, Right To Play and LFC Foundation supported children during lockdowns with online programming and coaching seminars, and LFC Foundation coaches shared their expertise with community coaches. We also launched an emergency appeal, which was promoted to Liverpool FC fans in Thailand and supported by our Side by Side

2021 was a challenging year for our UK fundraising and events calendar, but we were delighted to welcome the return of some in-person events in the autumn.

Despite the difficulties faced, our loyal supporters rose to the challenge and continued to provide a boost for our vital work throughout the year. We’re hugely grateful to all our supporters, “ ambassadors, Trusts and Foundations, and corporate partners for their steadfast commitment and dedication to children around the world.

project partner DKSH.

In May , we held our first virtual fundraising quiz event with LFC Foundation. It was hosted by

LFCTV’s Peter McDowell and supported by our global ambassador Sadio Mané and Liverpool Legends Jason McAteer and José Enrique, and together everyone raised an incredible £28,875.

Sales of the Right To Play patch and then the Side by Side patch continued throughout 2021, with Liverpool fans purchasing the patches to add to their team shirts in support of Side by Side projects.

BIG SPORTS QUIZ

In October , we celebrated the return of our annual Sports Quiz event at the Intercontinental Hotel, Park Lane, London. Our in-person event, sponsored by our partners Flutter Entertainment, was a resounding success and raised £564,775 to support our global programmes.

The night was hosted by TV sports presenter John Inverdale and welcomed more than 400 guests and celebrities, who tested their sports knowledge in an interactive quiz and donated on the night through our live auction and raffle.

CHALLENGE EVENTS

October was a busy fundraising month as runners took part in the London Marathon in aid of Right To Play, including Dale Farquhar from Flutter for the in-person event and three dedicated runners for the virtual race.

Later that month, 10 runners also tested their endurance in the Royal Parks Half Marathon to help raise more funds for our work to ensure more children stay in education, protect themselves from disease and develop key life skills.

SAVE HER SEAT

The pandemic disrupted learning for billions of students worldwide, with girls particularly hard-hit. When girls are out of school, they face increased exposure to harmful practices like child marriage, early pregnancy and female genital mutilation, which limit girls’ opportunities in learning and in life.

In response to this crisis, and with the support of our incredible ambassadors, we launched our Save Her Seat campaign in November to help get more girls back to school, so they can have a brighter future and reach their full potential.

“ I’m immensely proud to see how our Side by Side partnership with Right To Play has supported and empowered vulnerable children through the pandemic. Our shared expertise and passion is creating life-changing opportunities for children using the power of sport and play.

Matt Parish, CEO of Liverpool Football Club Foundation

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES: LEGAL STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE

RIGHT TO PLAY UK LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2021 29

30

Right To Play UK Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 3 May 2005 and registered as a charity on 5 December 2005.

Right To Play UK is a charity registered in England and Wales (Registration Number 1112404) and a company limited by guarantee (Registration Number 05441373). The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.

The Right To Play UK Board of Trustees governs the charity in the UK and is responsible for determining policies and overseeing the strategic direction of the organisation. The Board met five times in 2021 and delegated the day-to-day operations of the UK organisation to the Executive Director. The Trustees are shown on page 3. New Trustees are chosen in consultation with the full UK Board.

The Right To Play UK Finance and Audit Committee comprises three members of the Board and is appointed by the UK Board to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. The Finance and Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing:

In performing its duties, the Finance and Audit Committee maintains effective working relationships with the Board, the Senior Leadership Team and the external auditors.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Trustees are responsible for identifying and reviewing the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The UK Executive Director, as operational manager of the charity, manages risk on a day-to-day basis and reports regularly to the Chair, the Finance and Audit Committee and the Board on risk issues, reporting on an updated risk register to the Board at each meeting. Each item is scored according to its perceived potential impact and likelihood together with actions that either have or will be taken in mitigation. One of the primary aims of the Finance and Audit Committee is to provide assurance over the procedures in place to manage the identified risks.

The Trustees consider the principal risks to be:

The first three risks are currently being managed by reviewing and diversifying our funding campaigns and activities to include more engagement opportunities for new supporters to learn about our work and build relationships with potential donors. The Trustees work closely with the Executive Director to scope, plan and deliver key fundraising activities and consider new ways to raise awareness of the impact of our programmes on children’s lives.

Risks regarding delivery of our programmes are managed and mitigated at all levels within the organisation, through the global Programmes Unit, the Executive Team at Right To Play International and the National Offices. This was particularly true when delivering programmes during a global crisis such as COVID-19, during which our delivery model was adapted to adhere to global health restrictions and policies.

Right To Play UK views the management of risk as a key element of its decision-making processes. Identified risks are built into our strategic and operational management processes. The UK Executive Director, as operational manager of the charity, manages risk on a day-to-day basis and reports regularly to the Chair, the Finance and Audit Committee and the Board on risk issues.

RIGHT TO PLAY UK COVID-19 STATEMENT

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact Right To Play’s operations in the UK. Right To Play International implemented a comprehensive global strategy to mitigate the effect that the pandemic had on our finances and on our worldwide programmes.

Our Strategy included a combination of short, medium and long-term initiatives which took into account the reduction in income in 2020 and expected reduction in 2021. The RTP UK senior management managed risk and dealt with a range of challenges associated with people and culture, staff retention, risk of loss of income and managing overhead costs.

In November, we were able to return to in-person events and held our annual Sports Quiz – a key fundraising event for Right To Play UK.

Income: We revised our budget to consider a reduction in donations income due to postponing some fundraising events and lower availability of funds from corporate donors. Right To Play UK communicated with our supporters and partners to ensure they were engaged and informed of our response to the pandemic, implementing new fundraising initiatives aimed at

digital engagement of warm and new audiences. We are regularly reviewing our ability to raise funds by seeking new opportunities as well as delivering strong supporter stewardship to those who have supported Right To Play over the past two decades. Despite the challenges, these efforts meant that income for 2021 was maintained at a similar level to 2020.

Our new strategy for 2022 recognises the risk of dependence on a small number of major donors and corporate partners as well as on the delivery of large-scale events. The strategy, approved by the board in November 2021, is focused on diversifying our support base, while maintaining and developing key strengths.

Expenditure: Staff continued to work from home throughout most of 2021, and we achieved some savings on office and travel costs. Towards the end of the year, we reviewed our office space, reflecting on new models of working and an emphasis on efficiency.

RELATED PARTIES

Right To Play UK acts as an independent funding partner within Right To Play International. The Charity’s current members are the subscribers to its Memorandum, Right To Play International (a corporation incorporated under the Canada Corporations Act) and Sports Humanitarian Group, Inc. (also known as Right to Play USA). ln anticipation of trading activity in the UK, Right To Play UK has a wholly-owned trading subsidiary called Right To Play UK Trading Limited, which is a private company limited by shares. The purpose of the trading subsidiary is to enable Right To Play UK to operate in compliance with charity guidelines relating to activities that are best undertaken through a trading company. The trading company was incorporated on 5 October 2007 and began trading on 27 August 2008. The company did not trade in the year.

CHARITABLE OBJECTS

The objects of Right To Play UK are to relieve the stress and hardship of children and to conduct and procure research into the causes of hardship and distress of children. The Charity advances education, promotes health and harmony, and advocates for the improvement of health, education, community building, and the provision of sport and play opportunities.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, which addresses the need for all charities’ aims to be, demonstrably, for the public benefit. Right To Play UK’s objectives are to work for the education, health and well-being of children and to be part of a global movement for real change in the lives of vulnerable children and communities. Our role in the UK is to raise the profile of the international work of Right To Play, in order to make a growing contribution to the work we do in developing programmes that can bring about real change.

Working together with our partners and the rest of the Right To Play organisation, Right To Play UK protects, educates and empowers children to rise above adversity through the power of play. We work with children in some of the most difficult and dangerous places on earth, helping them to stay in school and graduate, to resist exploitation and overcome prejudice, to prevent disease and to heal from war and abuse.

For more than 20 years, we have delivered programmes with impact in both development and humanitarian contexts. As pioneers in a unique approach to learning, both inside and outside of the classroom, we harness play, one of the most fundamental forces in a child’s life, to help children dismantle barriers and embrace opportunities. We are the only global development organisation focused exclusively on using the power of play to transform children’s lives.

We work to drive change in four key areas:

• Quality education

Education unlocks possibilities. We transform learning, making it experiential and engaging so children attend, stay in school and graduate.

• Gender equality

• Child protection

• Health and well-being

KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL

The key management personnel are defined as the senior management team, which at the beginning of 2021 consisted of the National Director, Finance and Operations Manager and Senior Partnerships Manager. Due to team changes and redefined roles, at the end of 2021 the senior management team consisted of the Senior Partnerships Manager and newly appointed UK Executive Director. The team also recruited an Operations Manager at the end of 2021 as part of the wider management team.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Charity continues to fund its activities through corporate partnerships, individual donations, grants from trusts and foundations and a range of fundraising events. In 2021 Right To Play UK income was £1,271,705 (2020: £1,245,167) which was an increase from 2020, as the organisation began to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Charity’s restricted income in 2021 was £34,064 (2020: £653,084). The restricted funds in 2020 included a significant grant from the Isle of Man Government, which came to an end that year. In 2021 we pursued new trust and foundation opportunities,

32

including a successful application for the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office Aid Match scheme, to be delivered in 2022. Our strategy for 2022 includes a renewed focus on building our trusts, foundations and institutional income stream.

RESERVES POLICY

To enable the smooth running of the Charity, a minimum level of unrestricted cash is held to cover three months of estimated future operating expenses. In addition, at the end of the year, the Board also reviews likely funds to be received in the first quarter due to timing of donations following the year-end and, in addition to operating expenses, reviews other receipts and future event costs to ensure that any cash flow deficit which could arise can also be covered.

During the pandemic, the Board chose to ring-fence a higher-thannormal percentage of income into the reserves in order to enable Right To Play UK to cover any costs and expenses against a potential loss of income. This was maintained at the standard three months operating costs plus an additional three month’s operating costs. At the end of 2021, the Board reviewed this in relation to the status of the pandemic in the UK and chose to begin to reduce this gradually, transferring funding to Right To Play International for our shared charitable purposes.

PAY SETTING POLICY

The Trustees recognise that they have a duty to supporters and beneficiaries to ensure that resources are used as effectively as possible. Right To Play UK’s principle on remuneration is to ensure the reward package is competitive with other equivalent organisations, through benchmarking. This enables Right To Play UK to attract and retain staff to develop and grow the Charity, within a competitive market. The Board of Trustees is responsible for setting the pay of the Executive Director, in line with global pay scales.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The Trustees, who are also directors of the charitable company, are responsible for preparing their report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).

The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the surplus or deficit for that period. In preparing these financial statements the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and 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.

STATEMENT OF DISCLOSURE TO THE AUDITOR

So far as the Board of Trustees are aware: a) there is no relevant audit information of which the Charity’s auditors are unaware; and b) they have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as Trustees and in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Charity’s auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITOR

The auditor, Haysmacintyre LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming meeting of the Right To Play UK Board.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF RIGHT TO PLAY UK LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Right to Play UK Limited for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

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

Conclusions relating to going concern

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

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, 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 Trustees’ Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

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

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report (which incorporates the strategic report and the directors’ report).

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

34

Responsibilities of Trustees for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement 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.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain

reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to regulatory requirements for GDPR, Charities Act 2011 and Companies Act 2006, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, income tax and payroll tax.

We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to revenue and management bias in accounting estimate and application of controls around authorisation of expenditure and payments. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or noncompliance with regulation.

This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of noncompliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

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 Auditor’s report.

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 Auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the 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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

Right To Play UK meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Going concern

Right To Play UK Limited’s activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in the Trustee’s report. Right To Play UK Limited’s forecasts and projections show that the charity should be able to continue to operate at the current level. The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval. Accordingly, the Trustees continue to adopt a going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts and have not identified any material uncertainty relating to going concern.

Statement of cash flows

The charitable company’s cash flow statement reflects the presentation requirements of FRS 102.

Voluntary income is recognised when there is entitlement, probability of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Donated services and facilities may be included as income at current market value where this value is ascertainable and the donation is an ongoing arrangement. Where a market value is not available, appropriate estimates are made. In the current and prior year, the value of donated services and facilities was ascertained from the entities that made the donations.

Where the Charity would not have ordinarily sought to obtain and pay for a service, no value is recognised in the financial statements. Fundraising income related to the income generated from special organised events and is also recognised where there is entitlement, probability of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.

Expenditure

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs 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 time spent on projects.

Costs of generating funds include staff costs, operational overheads and other costs relating to special events organised by the Charity for funds and awareness raising. These and other fundraising costs are regarded as necessary to generate funds that are needed to finance charitable activities.

Governance costs

This comprises the costs of compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and is now allocated in line with support costs.

Exhibition equipment -10% on cost Computer equipment -33% on cost

Investments

Investments in subsidiary undertakings are included in the accounts at cost.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

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.

Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Charitable activities

Income

Cash at bank and in hand

These costs relate to projects

RIGHT TO PLAY UK LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2021 39

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Debtors

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

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Financial instruments

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at amortised cost with the exception of investments which are held at fair value. Financial assets held at amortised cost comprise cash at bank and in hand, together with trade and other debtors. A specific provision is made for debts for which recoverability is in doubt. Cash at bank and in hand is defined as all cash held in instant access bank accounts and used as working capital. Financial liabilities held at amortised cost comprise all creditors except social security and other taxes.

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.

Leased assets and obligations

Rental costs under operating leases are written off in equal amounts over the period of the leases.

Employee benefits

Estimates and judgement

Estimates and judgements 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. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. The Trustees consider depreciation to be subject to estimation and judgement.

DESCRIPTION OF FUNDS AND THEIR PURPOSE

Bliss Family Charity (Twibanire, Burundi and; Jam Suka, Mali) - GAC - Child Protection

In 2021, Bliss Family Charity support helped to strengthen social cohesion among youth groups divided by political intolerance in Burundi and improve the protection and welfare of children affected by conflict in Mali. These funds were used to help increase inter community trust and the ability to peacefully resolve conflicts, and increase access to youth saving groups in Burundi, and to enhance the protection and well-being of vulnerable children – including supporting children working in artisanal mines to claim their right to education.

Elmasrys (Lebanon refugee programming) - UnRestricted - General Programme

Funds from Rasha and Hassan Elmasry were used help provide support to refugee children living in camps and host communities within Lebanon. These funds were used to help children gain access to formal and non-formal education settings and to provide psycho-social support and well-being for children affected by the traumas of crisis, displacement and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Souter CT (Tusobola, Uganda and Girls on Track, Tanzania)

Souter Charitable Trust supported our work in Uganda and Tanzania in 2021. These funds were used to promote female empowerment through the provision of quality education for girls in northern Tanzania, and to enhance the quality of education for children and youth in informal settlements in Uganda’s capital, Kampala.

Clayton Dubilier & Rice (CD&R) (Tusobola, Uganda)

Funds were used to improve equitable quality education and social outcomes for children and youth living in informal settlements in Uganda, including increasing access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services and enabling safe and healthy practices.

Beatrice Laing Family Trust (Music for Social Change)

Funds have supported our work ensuring access to quality education, in the wake of the Beirut blast. These funds were used to provide psycho-social support to help children recover from the social and emotional effects of the explosion, and to help improve children’s life skills through the provision of music for development activities.

Working in both Tanzanian refugee camps, and with displaced and returnee populations in Burundi, these funds have been used to help build resilience and improve learning outcomes for girls affected by displacement and conflict.

R G Hills Charitable Trust (Girls on Track, Tanzania)

Funds were used to improve life skills and the quality of education for vulnerable girls in northern Tanzania. This included strengthening gendersensitive and safe learning environments that support girl’s engagement and performance in education, whilst tackling negative gender norms that act as barriers to learning.

Global Fund to End Violence Against Children (Safe To Play, Uganda)

Support from the Global Fund to End Violence Against Children has helped to reduce violence against children in school settings in northern Uganda. Funds have been used to strengthen child protection systems in schools and empower students so they are better prepared to prevent and/or respond to violence within their schools and communities.

In 2021 we received funds from a collective of charitable bodies to help provide support to Syrian Refugees living in camps and host communities within Lebanon. These funds were used to help children access formal and non-formal education with teachers using interactive and inclusive learning approaches.
