THE ANTHONY WALKER FOUNDATION TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30'4 JUNE 2025
The trustees are pleased to present their annual report for the year ended 30" June 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity’s trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published (FRS 102) (effective 1S January 2019). The Anthony Walker Foundation (AWF) is led by a majority Black and Ethnic Minority board of trustees and is currently seeking to ensure that it remains so. 90% of all colleagues are from a Black, Asian or Non-British Background. Most of the Board are female, with the newly elected chair being a Black woman. The colleague team is majority female and reflects the ethnicity of Merseyside.
OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIC AIMS
The Anthony Walker Foundation (AWF) is a charity that was established after the racially motivated murder of Anthony Walker in 2005. Following his tragic death, community members from across the region came together to show support for Anthony’s family and held demonstrations and events promoting anti-racist messages. It was after this his Mum, and Founder, Gee Walker decided to set up the Anthony Walker Foundation.
The aims and objectives of the Charity are, “to promote racial harmony through education, sport, and the arts, promoting the celebration of diversity and personal integrity and the realisation of the potential of all young people” through four strategic aims given in its founding M&A’s:
-
¢ To promote equality, celebrate diversity and raise awareness of the work of the Anthony Walker Foundation
-
¢ To empower and educate communities and young people by providing opportunities to engage in education, sports, arts, and personal development activities.
-
To work in partnership with others to reduce hate crime, support victims of hate crime and build safe and cohesive communities.
-
¢ To build a viable and sustainable organisation to ensure its long-term vision.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Foundation currently supports nearly 2,000 people per year through its dedicated Hate Crime Victim Support Service which works to help those who have experienced racism and faith-based hate on Merseyside. The AWF offers emotional well-being support, advocacy, and practical interventions. Additionally, the AWF has worked with a growing number of young people in schools and communities delivering learning and participation programmes which promote the messages of anti-racism, anti-hate, love, and respect for all.
Over the last 18 years, the Anthony Walker Foundation has:
-
« Supported many young people and adults who have experienced racism/hate. « Worked with many young people through local and national learning and participation programmes in schools and communities.
-
¢ Created, influenced, and worked in partnerships on strategic initiatives to combat racism and hate crime.

From 2024, through 2025 and on into 2026 the AWF responded to an increase in referrals to the hate crime victim support service, with greater emphasis on Islamophobic and antisemitic attacks. It can be shown that as in previous years over 70% of all recorded hate crimes in the Merseyside area are attributed to the person’s perceived race, religion, or nationality. We expect this spike to grow as the summer riots of 2024 only highlighted the extent to which there appears to be racial tension and unrest. The support received through AWF’s programmes gives young people and adults who have experienced racism and hate the confidence to create positive life experiences and opportunities for those from marginalised and minority communities, delivering learning and participation programmes which promote the messages of anti-racism, anti-hate, love, and respect for all.
Specifically, Since the 2020 catalyst of the anti-racism movement and engagement in the conversation around racial injustice, equity, diversity and inclusion, the Anthony Walker Foundation has increasingly collaborated with more schools, colleges, and employers in the public and private sector to help them become actively anti-racist and create positive and safe working environments for all their employees and stakeholders.
Throughout the last financial year, we have continued developing the work of the AWF which serves the four distinct pillars of activity that meet our specific objectives whilst also making the AWF financially sustainable. This increase in our activity continues and is the result of the unrelenting work of all involved; we continue to deliver:
-
The Hate Crime Victim Support Service, funded by the Ministry of Justice through the Office of the Police Crime Commissioner for Merseyside.
-
An extensive education programme, locally and regionally.
-
¢ The Esmee Fairburn funded Tackle Racism Award. * An influential corporate and consultancy arm that is shaping strategic cultural change with partners to challenge and remove structural racism.
-
- Campaigns and community programmes supported by funders including Communities and Local Government, The Churchill Fellowship and many individual donations.
-
In Summary The year ending June 2025 was very much a continuation of the themes of the previous year. Like many other organisations, we continued to absorb the impact of the pandemic yet were able to respond and adapt quickly and efficiently. Our performance linked to all our services continue to be delivered to high standards and the ability to undertake additional work and successfully meet our objectives and grow demonstrates the total commitment of all involved with the Anthony Walker Foundation. That commitment will continue to underpin our efforts for many years to come.

Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the charitable company to maintain unrestricted funds, which are free reserves at a level to cover redundancy provision, lease commitments and three months’ running costs should no further funding be received.
As at the end of the financial year the unrestricted funds totalled £70,905. The charitable . company requires £4,842 for redundancy provision, £1,663 for lease commitments and £89,710 for three months’ running costs, (total £95,675). The trustees plans to increase the unrestricted reserves by reducing our staffing costs by 50% and we are working with funders for financial assistance. We recently acquired a new education grant and have increased funding (4%) from the OPPC for our hate crime service. We acknowledge our financial circumstances, and we are working with our financial officer and funding team to rectify the situation.
.
Plans for future periods
Our plans are based on the further development of our four pillars of activity: taking each in turn:
The Hate Crime Victim Support Service
The outcome of many significant events and the racist repercussions of them, starting with Anthony and on to George Floyd and BLM, means that the need for this service as reflected in its use has never been stronger increasing the number of clients who needed support from the Foundation; equally such events also resulted in increased awareness amongst communities, and a willingness of individuals, organisations and industry, who also sought assistance from the Foundation, as they were keen to use the opportunity to improve community cohesion and promote safe working and learning environments.
As part of a continuous improvement process to ensure that this service reflects the needs of the community it serves the remit of the service continues to evolve and now includes the ongoing development of a mental health support service for those that have experienced hate crime and are living with the consequences of that. There continues to be an increase in the number of self-referrals partially due to the promotion of the bespoke speakoutstophate.com reporting tool, more community events and an increase in our capacity for more partnership work. There has also been an increase in collaborative working, which includes the Criminal Justice sector (Liverpool Crown Court, CPS, Merseyside Police and Local Authorities).
The AWF Education Work
The AWF hasa strong record of collaborating with schools at various levels throughout the region. This work is generated in response to specific incidents but also a strong and growing demand from schools that wish to invest in becoming actively anti-racist. All elements of our work come together here as the quality of our Speak Out Stop Hate campaign is used alongside the SeeMeBeMe material, in addition to the proven interactive work that had been developed over many years.

Work on creating the Esmee Fairburn funded Schools Award programme has been a great success. 10 schools participated, appointing ambassadors to support the school to becoming anti racist and inclusive.
Campaigns Community programmes.
The foundation will continue to develop community programmes that have a significant and positive influence on the communities that the AWF represents. We are actively - seeking Grant Aid to support the on-going work.
The sustainable nature of our education and consultancy work is intended to create a surplus to be used to fund initiatives that further meet the founding objects of the AWF.
Corporate and consultancy services
An increasing number of organisations that now wish to work with the AWF are considering their understanding of racism and how they can respond to that in a positive and initiative-taking way. In anticipation of this, the AWF has developed a suite of training modules to challenge racism, hate crime and discrimination, through transformative and thought-provoking training to meet the needs of both public and private sector organisations, to eliminate racism and discrimination in the workplace. We have continued to develop an engaging and impactful training programme which is available to both public and private sector organisations. The AWF programme recognises that change needs to come from all aspects of society whether that be individuals, communities, institutions, or existing power structures. The learning framework also allows tailoring training to target what an organisation may need most to become actively antiracist. The foundation also acts as a critical friend and a challenging voice for those who request it, allowing the organisations we work with to get the most out of the relationship and thrive on a journey towards building an organisational consulting culture consistent with the vision and mission of the AWF.
Our range of training modules are available to both private and public sector organisations who are looking to embrace EDI initiatives and anti-racism education. We aim to raise awareness of diversity issues, barriers to inclusivity, and the impacts of microaggressions and other discriminatory behaviours and comments and provide ideas on moving towards a more inclusive culture for everyone.
One particular module of note is Anthony's Story which makes the lasting impact of the worst of all hate crimes very real, inviting an audience to challenge their thinking, conscience and practice in becoming actively anti-racist.
The consultancy arm of the AWF has cemented its move from an aspiration to a reality, with two specific impacts; firstly, the dissemination of quality anti-racist training, and secondly a cash surplus from our work will be used to fund initiatives that are in the best interests of the communities that the AWF represents.

Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (SORP 2019) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1° January 2019) and Charities Act 2011.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
Going concern
At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has plans in place to increase the unrestricted funds to the adequate level to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are the charity's free reserves available for the trustees to distribute in accordance with the charitable company’s charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific restrictive conditions imposed by the donor. All restricted funds are accounted for as restricted income and expenditure for the purposes is charged to the fund.
Income recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt and so it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies comprise of donations and general grants which are recognised in the accounts when received, with the exception of known legacies which are accounted for when their receipt is certain.
Income from charitable activities is recognised on an accrual’s basis except for grants receivable, which are recognised on the date on which their unconditional payment is confirmed by the donor.
Income from other trading activities relates to fundraising events gala and festival and is recognised when the amount is certain.
Income from investment relates to bank interest received and is recognised when the amount is certain.

THE ANTHONY WALKER FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30°! JUNE 2025
Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charitable company to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accrual basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the Statement of Financial Activities. Support and governance costs are applied to unrestricted funds unless specifically included in the restrictions, as specified by the donor. Expenditure on charitable activities relates to the operation of the charity comprising of direct charitable expenditure to meet the objectives of the charitable company. Support and governance costs relate to the management and operation of the organisation and also compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements in producing the annual report. These are dealt with in the Statement of Financial Activities when payment has been approved by the charitable company.
Fixed Assets
Capital expenditure over £500 is stated in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life as below: Fixtures and Fittings 25% Reducing balance basis
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
Taxation
Income and gains are exempt from taxation as they are applied for charitable purposes only. The charitable company benefits from various exemptions from taxation afforded by tax legislation and is not liable to corporation tax on income or gains falling within those exemptions.
