Introduction
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2022.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, and the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ (SORP) (FRS 102 second edition effective January 2019). This report has been prepared taking advantage of the small companies’ exemption of section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.
Structure, Governance and Management of Global Dialogue
Global Dialogue is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 10 April 2006 and registered as a charity on 19 December 2007. The company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
The directors of the charitable company are its trustees for the purpose of charity law and the members of the company limited by guarantee. Throughout this report they are referred to as the trustees. The trustees who served during the year ended 30 April 2022 are listed on page 1. No trustees had any beneficial interest in the charity, and no remuneration of directors is paid by the charity.
New trustees are appointed by the existing board and receive an induction process which includes access to founding, financial and planning documents, Charity Commission approved literature and meetings with senior staff. One trustee resigned during the year ended 30 April 2022 and, following a skills audit, five new board members were recruited by public advertisement during 2021-22.
Day to day management of the charity’s activities is the responsibility of Esther Hughes, Executive Director. Pay and remuneration of key management personnel is set by the Board with reference to relevant comparative data, and a review of the charity’s Reward and Remuneration Policy is planned for the year 2022-23.
Global Dialogue’s Objectives and Activities
Global Dialogue is an independent, international platform for philanthropic partnership, offering hosting, regranting, incubation and special initiatives capacity, enabling funders to work together to advance human rights and social change.
Our charitable objects are to advance for the public benefit in the United Kingdom or elsewhere such purposes as are recognised as exclusively charitable under the law of England and Wales and in particular (but without prejudice to the generality of those objects):
- To promote human rights (as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and subsequent United Nations Conventions and Declarations) throughout the world by all or any of the following means: raising awareness of human rights issues;
Global Dialogue Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 April 2022 Page 2
DocuSign Envelope ID: E87C65EE-A553-40E6-AE97-3E08283E8368
research into human rights issues; commenting on proposed human rights legislation; obtaining redress for victims of human rights abuse; promoting public support for human rights.
-
To promote equality and diversity for the public benefit by the elimination of discrimination on grounds of race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or religion; advancing education and raising awareness in equality and diversity; cultivating a sentiment in favour of equality and diversity.
-
Such purposes as are recognised as exclusively charitable under the law of England and Wales.
Global Dialogue carries out a range of activities in furtherance of these charitable objects, which we group into four areas: hosting, incubating, grantmaking and special initiatives, and this report presents income and expenditure under these four areas. Having considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, the trustees are confident that these activities provide benefit to the public both in the UK and abroad.
In the year 2021-22 these included five hosted programmes:
-
Ariadne , the network of European funders for social change and human rights
-
The Funders Initiative for Civil Society , a funder collaborative working to defend and expand civic space by ensuring that progressive movements and their allies have the resources they need to tackle the drivers that restrict their civic freedoms
-
Migration Exchange , an informal network of independent funders which aims to improve the lives of migrants and receiving communities in the UK by informing public debate on migration and creating welcoming communities
-
Philanthropy for Social Justice and Peace, a hub to support the development and adoption of ideas about what makes a good society, and to connect and strengthen different spaces and agents that advance these ideas.
-
The International Education Funders Group , a member-led learning and collaborating network for foundations, donor-advised funds and other private grantmakers focussing on basic education in the Global South.
We continued to incubate a new entity, The Five Foundation , the Global Partnership to End FGM, which we successfully span out to become an independent charity in December 2021.
Global Dialogue continues to carry out general grantmaking , enabling funders to make grants supporting human rights and social change worldwide, and to offer a special initiatives programme to assist funders in scoping, testing, and developing new approaches or partnerships.
Grantmaking
Some of the programmes hosted at Global Dialogue involve grantmaking using funds of one or more contributing funders, whilst others are more focussed on collaboration and joint working with funder members making their own funding decisions. Each of our grantmaking programmes has a separate grantmaking policy which is determined by the programme goals.

Grants made by Global Dialogue in relation to Migration Exchange and the Funders Initiative for Civil Society are made in pursuit of that programme’s strategic goals, as identified by the Programme Director and by the programme management committee or advisory board, who together identify the outcomes they wish to achieve and then seek organisations who are equipped to deliver them; these programmes do not usually consider unsolicited approaches for funding. In all cases final grant recommendations are presented to the trustee board for approval.
Our general grantmaking is not open to general applications, as grants are made from donated funds in accordance with the terms and objectives of that donation. The trustees consider whether any terms applied are consistent with our charitable objects before accepting the donation, and the trustees in full session directly approve any onward grant using donated funds.
Unsolicited applications to all programmes are reviewed by Global Dialogue staff who respond accordingly. During the year 2021-22 we recruited a dedicated Grants Manager to implement the recommendations of the Regranting Review, equipping the organisation to significantly increase the volume, efficiency and scope of our grant management.
Risk
The trustees confirm that the major risks to which the charity is exposed have been identified and are reviewed by the trustees on a bi-monthly basis, and that systems and procedures have been established to manage those risks.

Activities, Achievements and Future Plans
The year 2021-22 was a period of significant growth for Global Dialogue as our hosted programmes responded with agility and imagination to the ongoing challenges of the coronavirus pandemic.
We saw substantial growth in income, expenditure and staff numbers, particularly for the Funder’s Initiative for Civil Society, but also for the International Education Funders Group, noting that 2021-22 was the first full financial year for IEFG at Global Dialogue and so prior year figures are not comparable.
A renewed trustee board, with five new board members, is overseeing this growth through the creation of several subcommittees and working groups, notably the Operations Advisory Group, which scrutinises operational matters on behalf of the Board, and the DEI Working Group which oversees an ongoing review of diversity, equity and inclusion across the organisation.
We look forward to continued growth and success in 2022-23 as our hosted programmes flourish and our grantmaking activity increases in service of our mission to advance human rights and social change.
Ariadne
Ariadne is a network of European social change and human rights funders who work together to strengthen philanthropy, help funders act strategically, and encourage new donors to enter the field with maximum impact. The network is made up of 757 individuals from 139 grantmaking organisations based in 22 countries.
Ariadne’s principal accomplishments in 2021-22 include:
-
Ariadne’s Great Reconnect 2022. After two years of working in isolation, our community of social change and human rights funders reconnected in person for long-awaited conversations.
-
Racial Justice training for progressive networks: In the summer of 2021, Ariadne joined partner networks including EDGE, HRFN, Gender Funders CoLab, Prospera, Elevate Children, and Transparency & Accountability Initiative to engage consultants to work with us as network staff to better understand how structural racism affects our work in a regional and global context and support us to develop programming for our members in turn.
-
Racial Equity Programming: Ariadne partnered with Healing Solidarity Collective on a series of conversations aimed at helping grantmakers explore racial dynamics within their own institutions and to consider how structural racism impacts philanthropy and the way that it operates. Healing Solidarity facilitated meetings of three racialised cohorts, which have been documented in a series of blogs in Alliance Magazine, written by participants from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
-
Digital Power: The two-year programme on Digital Power includes opportunities for hands-on learning about technology and its implications for human rights; support for technology and data strategy development; and facilitated discussions about key, intersectional technology issues that will require substantial collaboration to positively

influence. Digital Power Lead, Maya Richman, convened small cohorts of funders grappling with the challenges of integrating technology into their work for joint support through this process.
-
In June 2021, Ariadne helped organise an online convening of European digital rights funders. This group had last met in 2019, and the half-day event was an opportunity for digital rights funders to reconnect around common challenges and to meet some funders new to the field.
-
Mentoring scheme: We started work to relaunch our mentoring programme in 2022 to give it a greater focus on strengthening racial and gender justice in philanthropy, in memory of our friend and colleague Susan Treadwell. By increasing the capacity of this programme and more explicitly developing a track for minority foundation staff, we hope we can help improve diversity in the sector.
-
Resources: We published the eighth annual Ariadne Forecast, the How to Fund Tech Guide, and, together with Human Rights Funders Network and Gender Funders CoLab, launched a microsite for the Human Rights Grantmaking Principles.
Through all of this, Ariadne continues to build relationships with national associations of foundations across Europe, in the hope that joint efforts will attract more funders to the human rights field.
In 2022-23 we will continue to take the opportunity to focus funders on key themes such as racial and gender injustice, shrinking democratic spaces, and the intersection of digital rights and climate justice.
The Five Foundation
The Five Foundation’s key event in 2021-22 was a G7 warm up event held on June 9th in Central London called ‘Financing Africa’s Female Future’ which brought together UK Home Secretary Priti Patel and Secretary of State for International Trade Liz Truss, along with speakers from international foundations, women’s funds, African economists and the private sector, to talk about investing in African women and girls. Partnerships continued to grow, increasing to nearly 90 partners, and the Five Foundation secured further media coverage in dozens of publications including City AM, Evening Standard, Reuters and many others.
In mid-August the Five Foundation completed an extensive but ultimately successful registration process with the Charity Commission and became an independent charity in England and Wales, finally spinning out of Global Dialogue as planned in December 2021.
Funders Initiative for Civil Society
Around the world, vibrant civil society movements work tirelessly to build mass public and political support for their ideas. But governments, anti-rights groups and private actors on every continent are constricting the space for action – seeking instead to maintain a broken status quo or extend their grip on power through concerted attacks on civic and democratic space.
Global Dialogue Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30 April 2022 Page 6
DocuSign Envelope ID: E87C65EE-A553-40E6-AE97-3E08283E8368
The Funders Initiative for Civil Society (FICS) believes that civil society can disrupt, reform and transform the systems driving these attacks – but to do so they need consistent funding at a scale commensurate with the challenge. FICS’ mission is to help funders move more and better resources to rights-based movements and their allies on the frontline through new research and analysis on what is driving attacks on civic space and by testing strategic interventions to counter them.
This year FICS established two major initiatives – the Narratives Network Initiative and Civic Futures – which bring together funders, movement leaders and other allies to counter two of the major drivers of closing civic space that were identified in our seminal report Rethinking Civic Space (2020).
Civic Futures is FICS’ flagship initiative – a ground-breaking opportunity for funders to collaborate at scale to seed a global, cross-sector civil society response to the widespread abuse of security norms, technologies and narratives by governments and hidden actors to criminalize, monitor, and delegitimize progressive social movements. FICS’ research has identified three main components of this ‘security playbook’: the abuse of security frameworks, laws and norms to criminalise protest and silence dissent; the use of information technologies to surveil and censor actors perceived to be a threat to the state and its interests; and the promotion of a “security narrative” to foster suspicion of dissenters and public acceptance of concentrated state power.
To begin to counter this phenomenon, over the past year we have:
-
Formalised FICS’ collaboration with the Fund for Global Human Rights, connecting Civic Futures with grassroots organisations around the world who are affected by the ‘security playbook’. We are also thrilled to have welcomed a number of new funding partners to the initiative.
-
Published new research – including co-authoring an essay for the Foreign Policy Centre and an original submission to the UN Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association, setting out the threat to civic space from misuse of regulation intended to counter the financing of terrorism.
-
Convened donors working in priority countries to facilitate learning, develop shared strategy, and encourage more aligned funding to counter the security playbook in these contexts.
-
Launched a programme of experimental grants as part of Civic Futures’ strategy to deepen funders’ and civic actors’ understanding of these trends and build the field of organisations tackling them.
FICS also invested in key infrastructure to support its mission, including its communications strategy and tools – culminating in the launch of the new FICS website in February 2022. The coming year will see FICS add further programmatic capacity for Civic Futures as well as further develop FICS’ learning agenda across the drivers of closing civic space, with opportunities for funders to come together to explore key questions related to its analysis.

Narratives Network Initiative
Founded by the Funders Initiative for Civil Society (FICS), in partnership with the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation and Oak Foundation, the Narratives Network Initiative seeks to respond to threats faced by rights-based movements from anti-rights actors. Its goal is to codesign and incubate a new global network that will enable movements to win support for their agendas, and keep open their space to organise, through strategic communications and narrative strategies.
The Narratives Network Initiative aims to add value to existing strong practice in this field by linking up and learning from other narratives projects around the world, by facilitating learning and access to expertise, and by fostering relationships between and across movements. Because movements themselves need to set and control the network’s priorities, over the past year FICS has been facilitating a participatory co-design process – working with more than 300 actors in five languages, across close to 30 countries and a range of progressive movements:
-
Mapping what narratives activity is currently taking place around the world and identifying gaps, through interviews with over 100 individuals working across different movements, regions and technical fields.
-
Establishing the Connective, a cross-sector, trans-regional civil society steering group set up to steward the development of the network, and engaging them in a vision and values exercise.
-
Hosting a series of online ‘Imaginariums’ – creative ideation workshops – bringing together a broad community of civic actors to identify the network’s form and function.
-
Starting the shift from co-design to shared implementation – announcing a call for experiment proposals for a ‘5x5x5’ rapid prototyping exercise, inviting groups of activists to run small, self-organised five-week projects to generate ideas about key questions for the network, e.g., how to engage Gen Z or actors outside of formal civil society in narratives change work.
-
Launching an international recruitment process for Community Managers who will support, weave together and expand the community that has been building around the co-design process.
Going forward, the Narratives Network Initiative presents exciting opportunities for FICS and its partners to continue and consolidate learning from this innovative and highly participatory co-design process. We look forward to sharing the outcomes from the 5x5x5s, to deepening FICS’ activity and relationships in key focal countries, and to working with the Connective to pull together our learning into an engaging 3–5-year strategy that meets the needs of the movements the network is intended to serve and adds value to other initiatives in this space.
Migration Exchange
Migration Exchange is an informal network of independent funders working to improve the lives of people who migrate and receiving communities in the UK by informing public debate on migration and supporting welcoming communities. Key activities in 2021-22 included:

-
Holding regular and high-quality online meetings for trusts and foundations, addressed by expert and diverse speakers. This included a popular and successful series on racial and migration justice, in partnership with the Funders Alliance for Race Equality. We provided a space for funder staff committed to working on the intersection between race and migration in the UK to critically discuss current issues, as well as share funder practice and hear from those working in the field to challenge the ways in which trusts and foundations approach and fund justice work. We heard from speakers who discussed the history of migration and racism in Britain and explored the connections between colonial history, empire and structural racism which underpins so much of our system of borders today. We heard about the specific intersection with gender, and the disproportionate impact on Black women and women from minoritised communities, as well as strategies for change and resistance. We also focused on resourcing and sustaining work on race and migration, to help inform and challenge funder practice, with speakers focused on efforts to resource and sustain work on the Windrush scandal, and how this issue relates to wider issues of racism and structural inequality.
-
Commissioning anti-racism training for people working in the refugee and migration sector. Brap were commissioned to deliver this; they carried out a needs assessment first, then designed and delivered a programme to around 90 people. The objectives were: to deepen participants’ understanding of racism and anti-racism, to help them understand what anti-racist practice requires of them, and to create conditions for building a community of support and accountability within which to develop their antiracist practice. We organised a webinar with funders and sector organisations to reflect on their experience and learning and commissioned this blog.
-
Supporting British Future to convene an expert advisory group to deliver an immigration attitude tracker and share the insights with key civil society allies in parliament, business and the charity sector to inform their communications activities, including at party conferences and in private briefing to politicians.
-
Developing and delivering a pooled funding programme in partnership with Refugee Council to support Afghan led RCOs in the wake of the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban in August 2021. We secured a total of £420,000 for this programme and have made grants to 22 organisations. The contributing funders were City Bridge Trust, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, AB Charitable Trust, London Community Foundation and Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.
-
Supporting a range of aligned grants via MEX network funders to organisations during the passage of the Nationality and Borders Bill to focus on public mobilisation, communications and coalition building.
-
Supporting learning and collaboration captured in a series of blogs – Carry on Adapting: Building a Stronger UK Migration Sector and Inspiring New Funding Approaches – launching Stories of Resilience in September 2021, at an online event supported by Samir Patel, CEO of Comic Relief, and hosted by lived experience members of the steering group. Stories of Resilience is a UK-wide storytelling project celebrating how UK community organisations and people in the immigration system got through the pandemic together.
-
Developing a Welcome & Safety initiative in the UK: designing and delivering a sixpart series on welcome in the wake of the war in Ukraine. The first focused on the politics of welcome, the second on welcome in practice and the third will focus on

resourcing welcome. In March and April, Migration Exchange convened briefings focused on Ukraine and wider issues around welcome in the UK, in the context of the hostile environment and recent legislation.
Our priorities in the coming year will be to recruit and induct a new programme team and develop a new strategic framework for the next five years.
International Education Funders Group (IEFG)
This annual report reflects on a year of two halves for the International Education Funders Group (IEFG), a peer-driven group of 100 philanthropic organisations that aim to improve education outcomes in low- and middle-income countries. Our purpose is to help private funders have a stronger voice and impact in education by improving their strategic analyses and thinking, informing and assisting their grantmaking, and providing opportunities for collective learning and action.
The first half of 2021-2 remained focused on supporting our members through the pivots and consequences of the pandemic. Our IEFG Online Symposium (18 – 20 May 2021) was a stand-out moment for absorbing the latest evidence on learning loss, for sharing lessons and experiences with each other, and a unique space to pause and reflect on what COVID-pivot practices to keep. Beyond this, our online platform was a useful resource for a wider range of IEFG member staff than ever before to engage within the community. As we neared the end of 2021, we could almost feel the buzz of anticipation as in-person events started once more entering diaries.
Our new Executive Director, Laura Savage, started meeting our members at a memberorganised event in September 2021, and this and subsequent events saw our members burst forth with pent-up ideas and connections that online events – as wonderful, inclusive, climate-friendly and mind-bending as they are – cannot quite match. By April 2022, we were at the final planning stage for two major IEFG meetings in May and June 2022. Our team had expanded with three Policy and Practice Fellows and a new Finance and Admin Manager. Our new ED had, by the end of the year, spoken with over 60 of our 100 members to listen to their priorities and learn about their ambitions and challenges.
Over the entire reporting period, we curated and sent monthly email updates to ~430 individual contacts from around 100 member foundations and a growing number of outside stakeholders. The updates included information on events, news, jobs, and other resources at the intersections of education, international aid, and philanthropy as well as member announcements. Some of the diverse themes and topics covered in the update during this reporting period include: the state of girls’ education, the impacts of inflation in the Global South and for grantmakers, climate related news and its intersections with education, and developments in Afghanistan after the Taliban’s re-rise to power.
In addition to the Online symposium, we held 13 virtual events (virtual sessions, eCafes, online consultations, learning series). For a number of these we collaborated with the OECD netFWD group and OECD Development Centre, Unesco’s GEM Report, our sister network Elevate Children Funders Group and several of our members. May 2021 saw the launch of the IEFG Community on Microsoft Teams. Over 180 individual member contacts from 68

member organisations have accepted our invitation to the Community so far. The platform serves as a resource for a wider range of IEFG member staff than ever before to engage within our community.
The launch of a new communications platform was step two in a three-step technology update. Step three, an interactive dashboard visualising member data housed in Microsoft Teams followed in February 2022.
The year 22-23 will see IEFG refresh our strategy, and further refresh our team with a new Fellow who will help us scope our ‘geographic’ offer of connecting members at regional or country levels. We will launch a new workstream to champion and drive collective action across education philanthropy, including major events and small alliance-building workshops. This year will be an exciting one for IEFG and our members, as we test new activities and explore the potential of our network to amplify philanthropy’s contribution to education system change.
Philanthropy for Social Justice and Peace (PSJP)
Philanthropy for Social Justice and Peace is a hub to support the development and adoption of ideas about what makes a good society, and to connect and strengthen different spaces and agents that advance these ideas.
Key activities for the year 2021 – 22 included:
-
Learning Circles on key concepts in development and philanthropy, with practitioners from the field as part of our it’s Defining Key Concepts Series. Two topics were covered this year.
-
1) In July 2021 we organised an online peer led discussion with 34 other participants representing philanthropy and civil society to explore together how we might face the current challenges with compassion. The sessions were led by Dr Afsan Bhadelia PhD, Department of Global Health and Population, Harvard; T.H. Chan School of Public Health, USA; Leah Odle-Benson, The Stephen Lewis Foundation, Canada and; Dr Stephen Connor PhD, Worldwide Hospice Palliative Care Alliance (WHPCA), USA. The research and work of the three provocateurs and the dialogue process with the participants provided an understanding of the inequities of wealth, race, geography and gender (among others) that underpin suffering, and of the processes and systems to address avoidable suffering. It examined the values (through the palliative care framework) that foster compassionate communities and brought to light some of the elements of compassionate action in development and philanthropic work.
-
2) In December 2021 we organized two sessions with Eva Rehse, of Global Greengrants Fund and Halima Mahomed, a research fellow at TrustAfrica to unpack the buzzword of the moment: ‘resilience’. They drew out the tension between two poles of resilience and set up the conditions for us to explore where we stand. The purpose of the dialogue was to understand resilience more deeply so we can apply it more meaningfully to our work. A report has been published recently: Understanding Resilience in International Development

-
Research on the relationship between social movements and philanthropy in Asia. Building on our prior focus on the voices of social movement actors in Africa. in collaboration with Thousand Currents we initiated a study in Asia with a view to understanding and prioritising the perspectives of movement voices on their experience of philanthropy and suggestions for the role of institutionalised philanthropy in relation to movements.
-
Dialogues for transformational peace, with a group of 21 local peacebuilders from Chile, Colombia, Northern Ireland, USA, Nigeria, Serbia, Georgia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and India, to understand and define how people experience ‘peace’ in their daily life. The first two sessions were organized in March 2022. While both international aid and most philanthropic approaches to peacebuilding end up focusing much more on formally ‘how to get out of war’, local activists work on the ground doing the difficult and interminable work of healing divided societies. We have learned from them that this work is complex, slow (often inter-generational) and contextual for which the agency of local activists is necessary. Over the next several conversations we will go deeper into some of the critical dimensions of local peacebuilding work that the group has identified. This work has been complimented by our support to the Foundations for Peace Network’s ‘Let’s Build Peace Here and Now’ series which is a space for telling the stories of those who have been closest to the ground. Three sessions were organised in this series in 2021-22.
Our priorities for the coming year are to complete the Asia research and disseminate and discuss the recommendations for philanthropy with practitioners; and to continue with the learning circles as well as the peace dialogues both to create spaces for learning but also to build community and the collective power of the local peacebuilders.
General Grantmaking
Global Dialogue’s general grantmaking enables funders and philanthropists to make grants for human rights and social change worldwide. In 2021-22 this included continuing support for Five Foundation and the Collective Psychology Project, as well as continuing to manage the grants in our General Grantmaking portfolio. Acting on the recommendations of the Regranting Review in 2020-21, we also recruited a Grants Manager with a view to growing our grantmaking function in 2022-23.
Special Initiatives
Our Special Initiatives programme enables us to work with funders to research and develop new philanthropic initiatives, and in 2021-22 this included creating infrastructure and capacity needed for initiatives related to rule of law issues in South Asia.

Financial Review of Global Dialogue
During the financial year 2021-22 Global Dialogue received income of £3,786,060 (20202021: £2,522,290) and made payments of £2,063,862 (2020-2021: £1,623,689) in relation to its charitable activities and governance. This resulted in net income before exchange rate gains/(losses) of £1,722,198 for the year, which together with exchange rate gains of £101,354 (2020-21 losses £11,780) increased total reserves from £1,720,998 to £3,544,550. The funds held by Global Dialogue include restricted funds, which have been segregated by programme (reflecting the way in which funds are separately managed and controlled) and unrestricted funds available for discretionary use.
Global Dialogue’s trustees have set a target level for unrestricted reserves of £25,000 which is approximately three months unrestricted expenditure, and the trustees are delighted to confirm that unrestricted reserves at year end were above this amount. Reserves are shown in the Balance Sheet as unrestricted funds and the total amount held at 30 April 2022 (excluding Fixed Assets) was £41,599. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.
Our principal funding sources during 2021-22 were charitable trusts and foundations who share our commitment to promoting human rights and supporting social change, and our expenditure in pursuit of this commitment included our grantmaking, and our support for Ariadne, the Funders’ Initiative for Civil Society, the International Education Funders Group, Migration Exchange and Philanthropy for Social Justice and Peace.
We’re grateful to our funders and partners for their support during 2021-22, a time of continuing challenge and change.

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
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
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:
-
There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware; and
-
The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GLOBAL DIALOGUE
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Global Dialogue (the ‘parent charity’) and its’ subsidiary (together ‘the group’) for the year ended 30[th] April 2022 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Parent Charity Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and parent charity’s affairs as at 30[th] April 2022 and of the group’s income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group 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 group’s or parent charity’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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GLOBAL DIALOGUE
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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information.
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.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there
is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the trustees’ report, which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GLOBAL DIALOGUE
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
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
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 13, 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 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 group or parent charity 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:
-
The Charitable Company is required to comply with both company law and charity law and, based on our knowledge of its activities, we identified that the legal requirement to accurately account for restricted funds was of key significance.
-
We gained an understanding of how the charitable company complied with its legal and regulatory framework, including the requirement to properly account for restricted funds, through discussions with management and a review of the documented policies, procedures and controls.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GLOBAL DIALOGUE
-
The audit team, which is experienced in the audit of charities, considered the charitable company’s susceptibility to material misstatement and how fraud may occur. Our considerations included the risk of management override.
-
Our approach was to check that all restricted income was properly identified and separately accounted for and to ensure that only valid and appropriate expenditure was charged to restricted funds. This included reviewing journal adjustments and unusual transactions.
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 opinion we have formed.

20. GOING CONCERN
The trustees are pleased to report that despite the continuing challenges of the coronavirus pandemic, and the worsening economic outlook, Global Dialogue remains a going concern. The Charity has looked 12 months into the future and believes it will be able to cover its operational costs for that period from a combination of confirmed grants and existing funds. The Charity expects to cover any running costs which are not yet covered by confirmed grants at the date of approval of these accounts through savings or additional grants, which the Charity has a reasonable level of confidence in achieving based on the stage of various grant applications and previous success rates. The Trustees review the going concern position at every Board meeting to ensure that this is kept under review and that any necessary steps to manage the financial position are taken.
