MESSAGES FROM OUR LEADERSHIP
Education is a right for every child, but persistent inequality denies many their opportunity to a quality education. Around the world, more than 244 million children are out of school, with girls facing multiple barriers that prevent them from receiving the same quality of education as boys.
That’s why we’re immensely grateful to our generous supporters, ambassadors, donors and partners for all their support in 2022. In particular, because of your support for our hugely successful Save Her Seat campaign, with match funding from the UK government, more girls in Tanzania and around the world will have their chance to claim their rightful seat in school, and to learn, lead and succeed.
Visiting our programmes in Rwanda last year, I was moved by the palpable energy of teachers, children and communities and the power of our play-based training in classrooms. Your unwavering support helps us to achieve a greater impact for children in our 15 programme countries, improving their access to education and opportunity. I’m filled with hope that, together, we will tackle the challenges facing children in the coming years to empower them with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to thrive.
Gillian McMahon Executive Director, Right To Play UK
Every year, millions of children have their futures disrupted by violence, exploitation, and inequality.
We know that there is a desperate need for more action to protect, educate and empower them, so we remain steadfast in our commitment to collaborate with the global community to make lasting change in children’s lives.
Last year, our teams worked tirelessly to create a better world for children, where children are safe and protected, able to attend and stay in school, and treated with dignity and respect. As the Chair of Right To Play UK’s board, I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of our loyal supporters, to our expert staff for their passion and expertise, and to my dedicated colleagues on the board of trustees.
We’re determined to build on the positive results of 2022 to invest in more life-changing experiences for children, both inside and outside the classroom. Using the transformative power of play, we know it’s possible to promote children’s cognitive, emotional, and social growth and transform them into empowered youth whose futures are no longer determined by the barriers they face.

MESSAGE FROM OUR GLOBAL LEADERSHIP
In 2022, millions of children faced a difficult present and an uncertain future. Conflict, climate change, economic instability, and the consequences of COVID-19 combined to limit their futures and their potential.
education stakeholders together to learn from each other and deepen their commitment to quality play-based learning. These efforts are a critical part of making sure the world’s most marginalised children won’t be left behind in a rapidly changing world.
All of this work was only possible thanks to supporters like you. Thank you for standing by children during an extremely challenging year. We are proud and grateful to have you by our side as we continue to protect, educate, and empower children to rise above adversity through the power of play.
Accessing quality education and the support that helps a child thrive became more difficult. 244 million children were not attending school. Millions more children who were in school faced a learning gap that threatens to leave them without the skills and knowledge they need to thrive. 41 million children were refugees or internally displaced, the highest number ever recorded.
Despite the scale of these challenges, we saw reasons for hope every day. In Tanzania, young students with disabilities went back to school, joining lessons adapted to allow them to fully participate. In Senegal, teenage girls learned how to stand up for their rights and stop gender-based violence in their communities. In Uganda, Tanzania, and Lebanon, we supported parents to take a more active role in promoting their children’s emotional well-being and educational success. And in Ghana, children became stronger readers thanks to playbased lessons that make reading fun and exciting.

CEO, Chair, Right To Play International International Board of Directors
2022 also saw us increase our focus on scaling our reach and impact. We worked with governments and civil society partners in many countries to bridge the learning gap and support children to develop and thrive. We trained a growing number of educators and coaches on how to make learning safe, engaging, and inclusive. We collaborated with Ministries of Education to incorporate play-based learning into teacher and classroom curriculum, to improve student learning outcomes, and to strengthen education systems. And we brought
HOW PETER WENT BACK TO LEARNING
Peter was forced to drop out because local schools couldn’t accommodate his disabilities. A Right To Play-trained school inclusion committee helped him re-enroll and supported his teachers to adapt their lessons so Peter could get back to doing what he loves: learning and playing with his peers.

IGNITING LEARNING WITH PLAY
The world is facing a learning crisis. It’s estimated that 70% of the world’s 10-year-olds can’t read a simple text with comprehension post-COVID. Most of them live in the Global South.
“Before our teacher learned to play with us in class, it was very boring. We would fall asleep because the subjects were hard to understand. Then we started playing, and learning became easier.”
– Aisha, 13-year-old student, Ghana
Research shows that play is an effective way to boost primary school students’ interest and performance in reading, mathematics, and science. It can also strengthen students’ creativity, problem-solving skills, and their ability to collaborate to achieve their goals.
IMPACT HIGHLIGHT
In Ghana, Mozambique, and Rwanda, 81% of teachers in partner schools are using playful, gender-responsive techniques in class - up from 13% at the start of the GREAT project.
Students in supported schools were 1.5 times more likely to view their learning environment as positive than children in non-partner schools. 13% 81%
In Ghana, students showed stronger overall reading fluency , reading an average of 17 more words per minute than students in unsupported schools. 17
Students in Ghana play a game with their teacher that helps them apply literacy and numeracy concepts.

BUILDING POSITIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS
When teachers use play in the classroom, learning becomes meaningful and fun. Incorporating play creates a more positive learning environment. Gender and ability barriers are broken down, and both girls and boys participate more equally. Students want to come to school, and they encourage their peers to join them. They develop supportive peer relationships. More children complete their education and pursue their dreams.
Creating Supportive Schools
Burundi has been wracked by periodic violence since 1962, which has contributed to one of the largest and most underreported refugee crises in the world. Schools serving returnee communities are crumbling, classes are crowded, resources are scarce, and the dropout rate is high. We are strengthening access to education by rehabilitating classrooms and creating playful and engaging lessons that help children master new concepts and catch up to their peers. With funding from Global Affairs Canada, we restored ten classrooms and trained 234 teachers and 27 other education staff on how to use play-based lessons to help students achieve their goals – in and out of the classroom.
Breaking Down Barriers to Participation
Schools in rural Tanzania struggle to meet the needs of children with disabilities. The options for most children with special needs are either to find an expensive private school or to drop out. School inclusion committees, trained through a project funded by Norad, are running community-based campaigns to bring children living with disabilities back to school . Teachers are receiving training on how to create learning environments where every child at every level of ability can fully participate . Students, including those with disabilities, are connecting to others, building their confidence, and discovering their own potential through intentional activities and support. In 2022, we supported 8,624 children with disabilities to claim their rights to equal participation in their classrooms and communities through programmes like this.
Engaging Parents in their Children’s Success
Strong parent-child relationships are critical for a child’s long-term learning and development, especially in their early years. Our programme in Uganda and Tanzania is equipping caregivers with strategies and support to nurture their children’s early literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional skills . With the support of the LEGO Foundation, we are training community leaders to facilitate parental support groups and learning sessions where they can practice playful learning and bonding activities with their children.
Parents in Uganda help their children prepare for school by integrating literacy and numeracy activities into everyday games — like encouraging them to count their steps when they play with a skipping rope.
IMPACT HIGHLIGHT
In Burundi , there are 1.9 million out-of-school children between four and 19 years of age. Fifteen per cent of them live with a disability. As part of our work in Burundi, we raise awareness around children with disabilities’ right to education. Sixty-eight per cent of community members in our project locations are now 14[%] 68[%] supportive of that right , up from 14% at the start of the project.
“Through play, parents learn more about their children and their interests. This helps parents get closer to their children.”

BUILDING HER VISION FOR THE FUTURE: AISHA’S STORY
Thirteen-year-old Aisha lives in a community outside of Accra, Ghana. She dreams of becoming a journalist for Ghana’s national broadcasting service, so she can raise awareness of the challenges children face. But the idea of standing in front of a camera scared her.

“To be a journalist, you have to be able to stand in front of people. I was very shy, so I always asked myself, ‘How can I become a journalist when I feel so shy?’
I started to involve myself in [Right To Play’s] games and eventually I didn’t feel shy anymore. They would bring a game where you had to act out what you want to do in the future, and I would act out being a journalist. That’s how I’m improving my skills. Because if I’m doing this now, then one day when I’m grown it will easier for me to be a journalist.”

report on child labour and streetism.
----- End of picture text -----
Good afternoon cherished viewers.
A few minutes ago, I met 13-year-old Eben selling plantain chips on a major highway. This falls under child labour and child streetism. Child labour and streetism are dangerous, critical and difficult problems in Ghana.
What are child labour and streetism?
Child labour is when your right as a child is being seized, and you are made to work for money while you are underage. Streetism means a child on the street selling water, some begging for money and some also doing robbery for a living. I spoke to a few parents and children on the street concerning this matter, and surprisingly got many answers. Some of the children were saying it was because of poverty and peer pressure. Some parents also said it may be due to lack of parental advice and also single parenting.
How has it affected these children? According to an adult beggar on the street, every month, at least one child gets knocked down by a vehicle. Instead of being in school learning, they are on the dangerous streets of Accra.
Somebody may ask, How is it going to affect our nation of Ghana? Of course, it’s going to affect it in many ways. Are we going to allow this to happen to our nation Ghana? I know you will say a big ‘No’ to this question. Let’s join hands to stop child labour and streetism. We can help by educating people on it, and also I am urging children to seek counselling from responsible adults. Let’s stop child labour and streetism.
This is Aisha, reporting for GBC News, Accra, Ghana

“These activities made my connection and relationship with my kids more positive. The breathing techniques helped me cope with stress and make good parenting decisions.”
– Mother of three in Beirut, Lebanon
PROTECTING CHILDREN WITH PLAY
With caring, thoughtful support from their caregivers, play can help children dream beyond their circumstances. We are equipping caregivers with the skills and resources they need to protect children from the effects of negative emotions that can harm their futures.
When a child is facing crisis, displacement, or the effects of conflict, play is a powerful protective tool that helps them build resilience and healthy coping skills. Children use play to hold on to feelings of normalcy and hope, and to connect with the important people in their lives.
Keeping Hope Alive in Lebanon
Children and families in Lebanon are dealing with inflamed social tensions and the economic chaos of hyperinflation. In partnership with Norad, we equipped parents with resources that help them manage their own stress, respond to their children’s complex emotional needs, and support their children to develop healthy coping skills. Parents have found the programme resources so helpful, they’ve started sharing them with their networks on social media.
IMPACT HIGHLIGHT
We provided psychosocial support sessions to children affected by the legacy of the Beirut explosion . Children
who participated in the sessions said they felt better able to ask for help, and were 40% more likely to report feeling resilient by the end of the programme.
Rebuilding After the Pakistan Floods
The worst floods in Pakistan’s history hit in September, displacing eight million people and damaging more than 23,000 schools. Right To Play coaches and volunteers in hard-hit Sindh province rapidly mobilised to offer play-based psychosocial support to more than 3,400 flood-affected children to help them cope with stress and anxiety. We also provided 1,000 hygiene kits to flood-affected families and worked with government and the international community to make schools safe for children to return.

Mehboob, a 22-year-old Right To Playtrained coach, lives in a village in Kashmore, Sindh province, and supported the emergency psychosocial response. His account has been translated from Sindhi.
“We never knew that rain, which we considered a blessing, would turn into a catastrophe.”
HELPING CHILDREN COPE AFTER THE FLOOD: MEHBOOB’S STORY
“When rain first hit in September 2022, we did not know that it would cause havoc in our village. Every house, including mine, started flooding with water, so everyone went out to take temporary shelter in the only government school in our village. There were space issues since everyone had to fit in one large building. Food shortages, unhygienic practices and the realisation of lost livelihoods started to emerge. Water-borne diseases even led to the death of a couple of children, while others were in severe trauma.
I could hear people calling for help while everything they owned was flooded with water, and I could see children’s faces filled with distress and fear of losing even the smallest toy they had. Being affected by this disaster, I knew their pain and I could not stop the urge to help. I was already volunteering with
Right To Play as a coach, and the most important thing I had learned from that experience was to work together in hard times. I started talking with people about what their children needed the most right then. While most of them said it was safe shelter and food, some said they needed to get their stress out, but they did not know how.
So, I joined in the relief efforts and started conducting play-based activities in smaller groups. Seeing those little smiles, other children and parents started joining in these activities. With the expertise I gained from Right To Play, I chose games such as “Hope in the Air” and “I Like My Neighbour”. These are games that provide psychosocial support to children.
Over a short period, I noticed how these sessions were helping them to see a light amid despair. The healing power of play not only allowed them to release the negative emotions caused by the floods, but also sparked the spirit of togetherness, a spirit to fight against all odds. Parents started conversations on how they could act to create a new life out of uncertain times and connect better with their children. Through this, the children helped create a sense of normalcy for everyone as their voices echoed across the village each day.
Play-based psychosocial support activities reduced fear among the children, while making them feel more resilient. They understood that uncertain times require everyone to act together. Community members, especially parents, realised the importance of play for a child’s well-being.
Even after the situation got back to normal, they requested the other Right To Play coaches and I continue conducting play sessions. The children who were once shy started speaking to their parents and their peers due to these play activities.
Playing ignited a solution-focused approach in their lives. It made them more resilient and able to handle the hardships that life brings. This is the first time in my life that I have seen people getting up amidst a calamity and children’s eyes filled with joy, thanks to the power of play. This is the message I would like to convey to the world: Call for assistance when hardships hit, but do not sit with your hands tied. Explore everyone’s abilities, bring your skill sets to support and be the captain of your own ship.”

SCALING THE IMPACT OF PLAY
and coaches, and contributed to curriculum development and system building efforts in several countries. Here, we profile two innovative training initiatives, supported by the LEGO Foundation, that are strengthening teachers’ skills in ways that will benefit students for generations to come.
The crisis in learning is threatening the education and futures of millions of children. We collaborated with Ministries of Education and civil society partners to reach more children with playful approaches that improve learning and development outcomes. In 2022, we trained more than 100,000 teachers
Strengthening Education Systems
Through a collaboration with the Ministry of Education in Ghana , we are demonstrating how learning through play can be integrated into education systems at a national level. In addition to providing training on play-based learning approaches directly to education staff in partner schools, we are also equipping teacher trainers with skills and resources to support and mentor thousands of education staff in other districts.
This cascading training model allows us to gradually transfer training responsibilities to district and national education stakeholders, supporting the long-term sustainability of the project. It will also open up the positive impacts of learning through play to millions of children across Ghana.
IMPACT HIGHLIGHT
In Right To Play partner schools in Ghana, Mozambique, and Rwanda, 66[%] 81% of students felt their school supports their learning goals , up 81[%] from 66% at the start of the project.
HOW AMBROISE STOOD UP FOR STUDENTS
~~Ambroise and his fellow teachers used to use corporal punishment in the classroom to keep students in line. The abuse made students afraid, and led to high student drop-out rates. In a teacher training programme led by Right To Play, Ambroise learned nonviolent classroom management techniques, and how to use play-based approaches to make learning fun and keep students engaged. It worked so well in his class, he began sharing the knowledge with his fellow teachers. Now, students at the school are learning with joy, not fear.~~

Leveraging the Power of Technology
In Rwanda , we are piloting a blended training programme in learning through play for lower primary teachers. More than 3,300 lower primary teachers will receive the training over one year, bringing learning through play approaches to a projected 158,000 children across the country in the pilot phase. The course is certified and accredited by the University of Rwanda - College of Education and is developed and delivered in partnership with the Ministry of Education, the Rwanda Basic Education Board, and the National Examination and School Inspection Authority.
“The only problem with Right To Play is that you’re not in every school in Rwanda.”
We are also thankful for the support of the University of Cambridge and the Pedagogy of Play project at Project Zero, Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Side by Side
Challenge Events
Our ongoing partnership with the Liverpool Football Club Foundation (LFC Foundation) continued to raise vital funds to provide children in our programme countries with the life skills they need to thrive.
2022 was a busy fundraising year, as generous supporters tackled a range of challenge events – including a climb to the peak of Kilimanjaro , a rowing fundraiser at Upper Thames Rowing Club, golf days , and the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October – to have a positive impact on children’s lives.
In March , Liverpool Legends took to the pitch against Barcelona for the LFC Foundation’s annual charity match, with some of the funds raised providing a huge boost to our work. In May , we held our Side by Side quiz, hosted by LFCTV’s Peter McDowell, and raised over £70,000 together. LFC fans also bought the Side by Side patch to add to their team shirts in support of our joint projects throughout the year.
Our Side by Side fundraising quiz night was attended by LFC Foundation CEO Matt Parish and Chair Gavin Laws.
Sports Quiz 2022 saw support from sporting heroes including cricketers Joe Clarke and Tom Curran.
Sports Quiz
In November, we celebrated our sixth annual Sports Quiz at the Intercontinental Hotel, Park Lane, London. Attendees at our hugely popular event, sponsored by our partners Flutter Entertainment, rose to the challenge to help us raise over £300,000 to support the children in our 15 programme countries with the power of play.
Right To Play Global Ambassador Sadio Mané and former LFC defender Leighanne Robe launched Save Her Seat.
The competition in the room was fierce, with teams representing many of the City’s top firms competing on the night for the coveted trophy. We had support on the night from our quizmaster and presenter John Inverdale, plus a host of sporting celebrity guests including golfing legend Sam Torrance.
Save Her Seat Success
In April , we launched Save Her Seat , a special campaign dedicated to helping girls in Tanzania and around the world stay in school, continue their education, and take charge of their future. Every eligible £1 donated between 1 April and 30 June was matched by the UK government.
After three months of incredible support from across the UK, the total raised reached over £1.7 million , including £788,950 of match funding from the UK government. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated, fundraised, shared and supported this successful campaign, including our ambassadors footballers Sadio Mané, Nathan Redmond and Winter Olympian Chemmy Alcott.

HOW MADIHA IS STANDING STRONG FOR GIRLS
Thatta in Sindh province is one of the most conservative areas of Pakistan, where girls are strongly discouraged from pursuing life outside their homes. Madiha refused to let tradition tell her what she, or any other girl, could or couldn’t do. She stood up for girls’ right to discover their potential by creating opportunities for girls to play together.

RIGHT TO PLAY UK LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2022 29
----- End of picture text -----
Fundraising code of practice
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 registered with the Fundraising Regulator and is a member of the Institute of Fundraising. Our fundraising is carried out by a team of professional fundraisers based in the UK. The team’s activities are supervised by the Senior Management Team and follow recommended fundraising codes of practice. We did not receive any complaints about our fundraising activities in 2022.
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. Nothing in these Articles shall authorise an application of the property of the Charity for purposes which are not charitable in accordance with section 7 of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.
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 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 2022 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 Trustees consider the principal risks to be:
The Right To Play UK Finance and Audit Committee comprises three members of the Board as a minimum and is appointed by the UK Board to assist the trustees in fulfilling their oversight responsibilities. The Finance and Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring compliance with laws and regulations, and reviewing:
-
dependence on a small pool of funders and a risk of donor fatigue
-
dependence on event related income
-
a low level of multi-year gifts from a limited portfolio of supporters
-
reliance on small staff team and retention of staff with institutional knowledge.
-
the financial reporting process
-
the system of internal control
-
the audit process

In performing its duties, the Finance and Audit Committee maintains effective working relationships with the Board and the Executive Director.
The staff team made considerable progress against this strategy during 2022. The Senior Management Team also works closely with the Right To Play International People and Culture team to recruit and retain talent, reporting regularly to Trustees on team capacity.
At the start of 2022, Right To Play UK’s operations continued to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with staff working at home and some caution around event planning. This situation improved steadily throughout the year and the FAC was able to approve the discontinuation of any financial precautions around expenditure planning during 2022.
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 wellbeing 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 vital work of Right To Play, and the impact of play-based programmes in both development and humanitarian contexts, in order to make a growing contribution to the work we do and bring about real change in children’s lives.
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
Girls deserve a fair future. We teach girls to rise above unequal treatment and empower them to participate, learn and lead.
Child protection
We teach children how to protect themselves. When children learn their rights, they can resist harmful social norms and practices and avoid abuse and exploitation.
Health and wellbeing
A hopeful future starts with health. We teach children important health lessons that can change their behaviour and save their lives.
KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL
The key management personnel are defined as the senior management team, which at the beginning of 2022 consisted of the UK Executive Director, Operations Manager and Senior Partnerships Manager. Due to team changes and redefined roles, at the end of 2022 the senior management team consisted of the UK Executive Director, Operations Manager, Head of Communications, and Head of Partnerships.
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 2022 Right To Play UK income was £1,835,732 (2021: £1,271,705) which was an increase of over 44% from 2021, as the organisation delivered its new fundraising strategy, recovered from the Covid-19 pandemic and delivered a successful FCDO (Foreign and Commonwealth Office) UK Aid Match campaign.
The charity’s restricted income in 2022 was £289,176 (2021: £34,064). In 2022 we pursued new trust and foundation opportunities, continuing to build and diversify our support base, beginning several new relationships which will continue into 2023 and beyond.
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. 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-than-normal 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 beginning of 2022, the Board reviewed this in relation to the status of the pandemic in the UK and chose to reduce this to two months additional operating costs.
In September 2022, the Board agreed to remove entirely this additional two-month buffer on 1 October 2022, transferring funding to Right To Play International for our shared charitable purposes.
The final reserves at the end of 2022 were £353,665, which was higher than amount required by our reserves policy (£206,433). This was due to a timing issue with cash flow and final receipt of 2022 revenue accruals.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT 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 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, X Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

- the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of Trustees for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 32, 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, the Charities Act 2011 and the 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, and income and payroll taxes.
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 income, management bias in accounting estimates and application of controls around authorisation of expenditure and payments.
Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
- Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax authorities;
• Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
-
Evaluating management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;
-
Identifying and testing journals; and
-
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their accounting estimates.
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 non-compliance. 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.

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 the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Trustees continue to adopt a going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.
Statement of cash flows
The charitable company’s cash flow statement reflects the presentation requirements of FRS 102.
Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to income, it is probable that income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to income, it is probable that income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
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.
Raising funds
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.
Charitable activities
These costs relate to projects delivered by Right To Play International and Right To Play Country Offices and include travel costs and other costs considered to be in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the charity. Support costs have been allocated as applicable to the charitable activities of the charity. Grants relate to amounts donated to Right To Play International.
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.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments.
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.
Pension costs and other postretirement 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
-
Short term benefits including holiday pay are recognised as an expense in the period in which the service is received.
-
Termination benefits are accounted for on an accrual basis and in line with FRS 102.
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.
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.
