SHOW RACISM THE RED CARD

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025

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 May 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Show Racism the Red Card (SRtRC) is an anti-racism educational charity (Charity No: 1116971) founded in late 1995, dedicated to combating racism through education.

Objectives

We work to challenge racism through empowering role models within communities, organisations, and sports, in order to dismantle racism in society by:

Challenging Racism and Promoting Anti-Racist Attitudes

SRtRC aims to reduce racism in society by confronting prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination. The goal is to create more inclusive, respectful communities.

Providing Anti-Racism Education

A central objective is to equip young people and adults with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to recognise, understand, and challenge racism.

Using the Power of Sport and High-Profile Athletes

The organisation leverages the influence of professional footballers, athletes, and coaches as role-model educators. Their involvement increases the impact and reach of anti-racism messages.

Supporting Schools and Educators

SRtRC supports teachers and others working in the education field, by providing training, lesson plans, teaching resources, and guidance on dealing with racist incidents.

Promoting Equality, Diversity, and Positive Community Relations

The charity works to build cohesive communities where diversity is respected, and everyone feels safe and valued.

Campaigning for Structural and Institutional Change

Beyond education, SRtRC advocates for policies and practices that address racism in institutions such as schools, sporting organisations, workplaces, and public services.programmes.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

This year was marred by the shocking Far-Right riots that occurred in the summer throughout England.

Show Racism the Red Card have been warning for years about a growth of racism in the UK around two key issues: Islamophobia and anti-immigration rhetoric. These issues exploded onto our streets in late July 2024, with only the emergency services preventing the death of asylum seekers in some towns and cities. We witnessed the worst Far-Right violence since the 1970's in Britain. The reaction to these riots from anti-racists was heartwarming to see and showed how we defeat the racists through unity and action. Whilst the riots dissipated, it would be very foolish to believe that the issues have gone away.

The Far-Right are in the ascendancy across the world, and the growth of racism is now a worldwide phenomenon. Social media remains a breeding ground for racism and some platforms are helping to promote Neo Nazis and Far-Right activists throughout the world.

This will be a crucial period for standing up against racism and reclaiming the narrative around immigration. Show Racism the Red Card, alongside IMIX and Migrant Voice, launched a campaign entitled "Migration. Making Britain Great" and work around promoting the benefits of immigration is vital to combating the growth of racism.

In March 2023, Show Racism the Red Card passed an incredible 1 million people educated through our workshops and School Competitions. It took 27 years to pass this key milestone, but we are already well on our way to the next 1 million: by the end of 2024, 1,343,000 people had been educated by our charity.

There has been a substantial increase in our adult education work, which has tripled in the last 4 years. Wear Red Day 2024 (WRD24) also broke all records with a magnificent 710,000 people wearing red and promoting an anti-racism message on the day. 1,400 schools and 400 businesses took part in WRD 24 and we reached Number 2 on X (formerly Twitter) during the day. Merchandise sales were also up by 15%.

However, this period has been far from easy for our charity. We didn't receive any UK Government or Scottish Government funding, and our Local Authority support has continued to shrink as their budgets have been decimated. Our staff team has reduced as a result of these cuts to our budgets.

Despite these cuts, we have endeavoured to get our anti-racism resources into every school in the UK free of charge. The launch of our Education Hub in January 2023 brought us closer to achieving this goal than ever before. There are now over 60 lessons on the Ed Hub and a hugely impressive 35,000 subscribers. With the rise of Islamophobia and antisemitism, these new resources are proving to be valuable tools for Educators to be able to access.

The Ed Hub has had 73,000 lessons accessed and it is estimated that based on an average of 30 pupils per lesson, 2.1 million students have benefitted from lessons on the Hub.

As a charity we continue to call for anti-racism education to be embedded into the National Curriculum and we have taken the Welsh Government's example into the UK Parliament via our All Party Parliamentary Group.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFROMANCE - continued

The election of a new Government gives us hope that we may see a new Government strategy to promote community cohesion and actively combat racism through anti-racism education. Show Racism the Red Card have 29 years experience of delivering anti-racism education and we will continue to offer our services to the Government with the aim of creating a more united and inclusive society.

A huge thank you is due to the fantastic SRtRC staff team, our dedicated volunteers, and our valued partners. Your tireless work, passion, and unwavering commitment to anti-racism education shine through in everything we do. Our impact is only possible because of your enthusiasm, expertise, and shared belief in creating a fairer, more inclusive society for all.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

It is a testament to the quality of work that we deliver, that many sponsors and supporters have maintained funding for SRtRC despite their own financial challenges.

We were also supported by the levels of donations from Wear Red Day and additionally, the organisation has been able to develop relationships with a number of corporate partners over the period.

Income for the year ended 31 May 2025 was £1,312,204 (2024 - £1,326,703) whilst Expenditure was £1,402,533 (2024 - £1,672,226).

FINANCIAL REVIEW - continued

Investment Policy

Over the last few years, Show Racism the Red Card has seen an increase of donations from the general public.

These funds created an opportunity to invest in the organisation, our people and our services. We have spent these funds to expand the organisation and our reach, whilst also building up our reserves in a time of economic uncertainty, increasing inflation and a cost of living crisis.

The brand new website and Education Hub are both investments in the long term future of how we deliver and share our educational resources.

Reserves Policy

The organisation continues to endeavour to work towards securing one full year's operating costs as reserves. This policy exceeds the recommendations of the Charity Commission.

At present the reserves are split into true (free) reserves and the Emergency funds. The Emergency fund stands at £332,305 (2024 - £287,228), true reserves amount to £572,545 (2024 - £707,951).

FUTURE PLANS

The year ahead

Our top priorities moving forward in these challenging economic times are preserving the organisation's core focus on anti-racism education and supporting our dedicated staff team. Alongside these priorities, we are committed to driving growth and development in several key areas:

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

Show Racism the Red Card (SRtRC) is a charity (Charity no: 1116971) established in December 1995, which aims to advance the education of the public, in particular but not exclusively of young people. SRtRC harnesses the high profile of professional football and professional footballers to work towards the elimination of racial discrimination both in football and in society.

The organisation was incorporated (Company No: 5834708) in June 2006 and in March 2021, the Trustees approved the adoption of a new set of Articles of Association for the Charity, replacing those that had been in effect since the Charity's incorporation in 2006.

The reasons for the adoption of the new Articles were twofold. First, it had become apparent that a number of provisions in the 2006 Articles had been superseded by developments within the Charity's governance; were no longer relevant; or did not provide the Trustees with the governance framework that they needed to act in the best interests of the Charity.

Second, as part of an overall governance review against the guidelines provided by the Charity Commission, the Trustees concluded that the adoption of a more streamlined, flexible constitution, in line with the model provided by the Charity Commission, would enable the Trustees to act in an efficient, agile and effective manner.

The Articles of Association have been approved by the Charity Commission (as required by Charities regulation) and are in full effect.

Organisational Structure

Show Racism the Red Card has a Board of Trustees. The quorum for Trustees' meetings is four (4) Trustees, or one third of the total number of Trustees at any particular time, rounded up to the next even number, whichever is the greater.

The Board shall hold at least four meetings in each year, meaning that there shall be at least four Trustee Meetings within any given twelve (12) month period.

At present, the Board has fourteen (14) members with a variety of professional skills relevant to the work of SRtRC.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Show Racism The Red Card for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. 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).

Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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

In accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, a resolution for the re-appointment of . BK Plus Audit Limited as auditors of the charity is to be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 30 January 2026 and signed on its behalf by:

Mr M M Rahman - Trustee

Page 12

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF SHOW RACISM THE RED CARD

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Show Racism The Red Card (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 May 2025 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.

Page 13

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF SHOW RACISM THE RED CARD

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

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

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

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

Responsibilities of trustees

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

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

Page 14

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF SHOW RACISM THE RED CARD

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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

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

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. In this regard, our procedures include the following:

Because of the field in which the charity operates, we have identified the following areas as those most likely to have a material impact on the financial statements: Health and Safety; Employment Law; and compliance with the Companies and Charities Acts.

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.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2025

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 presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

Going Concern

The trustees recognise that recent results have depleted the charity's reserves and acknowledge that a further deficit is expected for the coming financial year.

Post-year-end, the trustees have implemented a deficit reduction strategy including the development of additional revenue streams, a policy of not re-recruiting vacated posts without a valid business case, fixed-term contracts for any new recruits, and exploring cost savings through the consolidation of certain regional activities.

As a result of these efforts, post-year-end results are much improved and the trustees are optimistic of a return to a break-even position within the next 12 months which the charity has adequate reserves to support.

In the opinion of trustees, given the steps taken and the results to date, no material uncertainties exist about the charity's ability to continue for the foreseeable future and the financial statements are accordingly prepared on the going concern basis.

Income

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, the amount can be measured reliably and in the case of income from government and other grants, any attached performance conditions have been met.

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 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 use of resources.

Governance costs

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Expenditure which is directly attributable to specific activities has been included in these cost categories. Where costs are attributable to more than one activity, they have been apportioned across the cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of these resources.

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.

Debtors

Trade and other debtors (including prepayments) are recognised at the settlement amount due or amount prepaid).

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments.

Creditors

Creditors (including accruals and deferred income) 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 are recognised at their settlement amount.

Financial instruments

All financial assets and financial liabilities of the charity qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
