REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the year ended 31 March 2024

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

About B:RAP

B:RAP is a charity transforming the way we think and do equality. This calendar year is brap's 25th year of incorporation as a limited company. This will very much be a year of reflection for the organisation and also a year in which we launch our new manifesto - 'Dreams and Schemes' in which we hold our aspirations for gearing up the work that we do and making more of an impact on discrimination.

Who we work with

B:RAP partners with and are commissioned by organisations from the public, private and not-for-profit sector. 50% of our work during this financial year was with not for profit organisations. The NHS, accounted for 30% of our work and the other 20% was a mixture of local authority work, university and school based work, work with the local government and our own brap run programmes.

What we do

B:RAP works to support others to improve upon their understanding and implementation of equality. We work to use and generate evidence that can guide thinking and behaviours. Our work portfolio includes: a range of learning activities, from one-to-one coaching, group support, management and leadership support, and organisational development interventions. We have a research and evaluation portfolio, which includes research that we undertake in our own right, in collaboration with others, and commissioned research activities. We undertake some specialist work, which includes investigations, working to address conflict and psychotherapeutic support for marginalised groups. We were one of the first organisations to draw on the principles of human rights to position the rights and entitlements of all and we recognise that our identities are complex and fluid.

REVIEW OF LAST YEAR: 2023-24

Too Hot to Handle

brap released this report into racism in the NHS in February 2024 year. The report has gained a lot of publicity and we have been asked to speak on its contents numerous times. More importantly the report makes reference to some common themes in how racism is dealt with within the NHS and what organisations can do about it .

A number of organisations in the health sector have responded to 'Too Hot to Handle?'.

o The RCN is a membership organisation of over half a million registered nurses, midwives, health care assistants and nursing students. Read their response.

The zine had articles on topics including white allyship, the beliefs that maintain racism, inequality in higher education, and white working-class identities. The zine has been downloaded over a thousand times. www.brap.org.uk/post/ pushback-how-the-system-whites-itself

o With Roger Kline, Joy Warmington wrote a peer-reviewed article in for the BMJ: 'Playing the Numbers Game?' (Warmington J, Kline R. BMJ Leader 2023;7:1-3). The article looked at the pitfalls of 'representation' as a model for equality and proposed other indicators

o brap's CEO was interviewed by the Kings Fund for their podcast in October 2023. She spoke about anti-racism and why it is important for health care. Also explored the importance of forging genuine change beyond target setting, what authentic leadership means, and having the courage to do things differently.

A selection of programmes during 23 - 24

This year, we delivered over 400 days of development and support.

o Anti-racist Cumbria - in partnership with Anti-Racist Cumbria, we have developed and piloted a training programme for the Cumbrian police force. The programme is taken from a national pilot, describing the work that Police Forces across the country need to do, if they are to gain the Trust of black communities .

o We have continued to do work with Birmingham Children's Trust - social workers, to support their use of anti-oppressive practice in their work

o Birmingham Mind, is a re-occurring client, who have approached us for the last few years to induct new staff into EDI o brap's white work - this has been a particularly successful initiative, designed to support white colleagues to further explore their positionality and journey towards anti-racism. Two small groups have attended a series of coaching sessions, 5 in total to help them to grow in confidence and competence.

o Camden Giving - this is a Grantmaker, whose work focusses on progressing opportunities for residents in Camden. Our work has supported the organisation to review its grant making processes. On the back of this work, we have secured more resources to engage young people in Birmingham in a project reviewing their experiences of racism in the city. This same process is also been undertaken in Camden. Further resources have been obtained to extend this project - involving young people as community researchers within their own cities.

o Comic Relief - we have been working with the senior team at Comic Relief to support the organisation to deliver on their anti-racist ambitions. This has included thinking about the grant making function of the organisation as well as relationships between staff members.

o Guys and St Thomas's Foundation - Impact on Urban Health. Impact and Urban Health have a mission to address inequalities within their local area. They sponsor community led initiatives and were keen to understand the balance of power between what is funded and what is needed by the community. Our work has engaged the organisation in understanding their use of power and the relationship they foster with their grantees. This has been an interesting and challenging piece of work - engaging the whole organisation in developmental activities.

Other work

o Sheffield Council - helped the council have conversations about its race strategy. Supported local communities to hear other views and input into directions and goals

o Royal Papworth Hospital Trust -interviewed nurses to understand leadership behaviours in a busy ward. Looked at the experiences of international nurses in particular

o Oxford University Hospital Trust - spoke to staff in intensive care settings to understand departmental culture, induction processes, and how conflict is dealt with.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2024

TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT - continued

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

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

In so far as the trustees are aware:

AUDITORS

The auditors, Harrison Beale & Owen Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 5 December 2024 and signed on its behalf by:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF B:RAP LTD

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of B:rap Ltd (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

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

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

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

Other information

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

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

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

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Page 5

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF B:RAP LTD

Responsibilities of trustees

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.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

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

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

The audit process includes an assessment of the entity's risk environment, through enquiry of and discussion with management, including an assessment of any key laws and regulations with which the company must comply in the ordinary course of its business.

Additionally, the overall risks of irregular transactions occurring are assessed following our observations and confirmation of the design and implementation of management's controls. Whilst we are mindful of these risks, our audit focus is geared towards the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements as a whole.

As such, our procedures cannot guarantee that all transactions have been fully compliant with all relevant laws and regulations, including those regulations relating to fraud, as our procedures are not designed to detect all instances of non-compliance. By definition, the risk of our detection of non-compliance is greater where compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities 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 Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF B:RAP LTD

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

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

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below and have remained unchanged from the previous year.

Income

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

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Plant and machinery - 25% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 25% on 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.

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

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

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