Foreword

**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **Foreword** 

**As the country enters a new crisis, it is easy to forget those moments of optimism at the start of 2021 when the phrase “build back better” held promise.** 

We saw through the pandemic that inequalities drive deep hardship, particularly for women and girls. We learnt that unity and collaboration offer both strength and hope, and the women’s and girls’ organisations we support have these in abundance. As we face a new period of difficulty, these lessons matter. 

**The pandemic gave a glimpse of the resilience that is possible when organisations are supported in their communities and by their funders. When we collaborated, when funders removed barriers to funding and took risks in our approaches, and when we truly listened to what organisations needed, we became more effective: emergency funding during the pandemic prevented hundreds of organisations from closing. To emerge stronger from this new crisis, we need to learn from our past experiences and channel our energy into our shared set of values, so we may continue to work together towards the common goal of making the UK safer and fairer for women and girls.** 

Women’s and girls’ organisations are critical in delivering this goal: whether they are delivering crisis support, frontline services, advocacy, campaigning and influencing, these organisations make a difference and deliver change. Womenled organisations are essential in sustaining an effective civil society by representing and responding to the lived experiences, long term and changing needs of women and girls across the UK. 

Rosa remains the only UK funder dedicated to funding and supporting the women and girls sector. We exist to draw in and distribute funding to the women and girls sector, to strengthen these organisations and to use our voice to achieve change. Our values are at the heart of what we do. We are bold, agile, collaborative, inclusive and transparent. Through 2021/22, our values underpinned every aspect of our work so our actions match our beliefs and our intent. 

We are grateful to our donors and partners whose generosity and shared belief in the ability of women’s and girls’ organisations to deliver change has powered all our work. Thanks to their support, we have together channelled £2million into the women and girls sector this year, we awarded 78 new grants, and we have continued to support more than 200 women-led organisations across our programmes who together reached 90,000 women and girls across the UK during 2021/22. 

Rosa was founded to address the acute lack of funding for the women and girls sector in the UK. As a relatively small funder, we seek to focus our funding programmes in areas where the need for funding is greatest, based on research and analysis of the sector.

**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **FUNDING:** 

## We have raised over **£2million** in funding to channel into **organisations led by and for women and girls across the UK.** 

All of our analysis shows that organisations led by and for Black and minoritised women and girls receive less funding than other organisations and this year, 70% of all funding awarded by Rosa went to organisations led by and for Black and minoritised women and girls. We also developed Rise fund, specifically designed to strengthen and sustain these organisations. 

To deliver our goals for the women and girls sector, Rosa must represent and be accountable to the communities we collaborate with.  We therefore work alongside women who are experts with lived experience of the challenges women’s and girls’ organisations seek to address. We do this through working groups, advisory groups and in our teams of assessors. For the Rise Fund, all our assessors and decision-makers were Black and minoritised women. We have actively reviewed our work to understand how racism and racial inequality experienced by communities are perpetuated and have sought to address this in our actions. We have reviewed our governance structures and increased the racial diversity on our Board of Trustees, ensuring that 50% of our Trustees are Black and minoritised women. 

Our extraordinary staff team also continues to grow to support the depth and breadth of our programmes. In 2021/22 we had a team of six dedicated and dynamic colleagues who worked tirelessly not only to support our investment in women’s and girls’ organisations, but who also provided ongoing training, events, research and communication in order to build capacity across the wider sector. 

And last, but not least, we are extremely grateful for the dedication, support and expertise that is provided by our committed Board of Trustees. We are delighted to have further expanded our Trustee team with the appointment of Shanta Assani, Memento Charinga, Claudia Dickens and Esmeralda Gambelli in July 2022. We would also like to express our deep gratitude to David Aeron-Thomas who has supported Rosa in the role of Treasurer since 2017 and who will retire at the end of 2022.

**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **The challenge:** 

“ Rosa wants to see the sector thrive and flourish rather than simply survive to fight another day. To ensure this happens, the women and girls sector needs more long-term funding to ensure its security and sustainability.” 

**Rebecca Gill, Chief Executive Officer, 2022** 


**11** 



**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **Vision, Mission and Values** 

Rosa’s vision is of a society in which women are safe, healthy, and equal at work, at home and in public life. Rosa’s mission is to contribute to improving the lives of women and girls by drawing in and distributing funding and resources to the women and girls sector, by strengthening organisations and by using our voice to achieve change. 

**12** 



**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

**The UK needs specialist women’s and girls’ organisations and yet a persistent neglect of women’s and girls’ rights means these organisations often lack access to the funds they need to deliver the critical work they do.** 

Without adequate funding, these organisations cannot survive, let alone thrive, and women and girls miss out on the services, programmes, and advocacy they need. 

Rosa helps specialist women’s and girls’ organisations access the funding and resources they need. We use our expertise and knowledge to deliver equitable and participatory grant-making for specialist organisations led by and for women and girls. 

The values we uphold are reflected in our work. We ensure that we are: 

## Bold: 

We seize new opportunities, and we are not afraid to take risks in pursuit of our mission and vision. 

Collaborative: We work with and for our partners, constantly identifying ways to collaborate rather than compete. 

Inclusive: We value the diversity of the UK women and girls sector, and seek to harness the power of its different perspectives. 

Agile: 

We adapt our work swiftly to meet the changing needs of the women and girls sector and the wider context. 

Transparent: We recognise our power as a funder and strive to constantly improve our work.

**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **Rosa’s value to grantees** 



Understanding 

Representation 

**our grantees feel that we respect and value their work and understand the barriers they face.** 

**grantees can see that similar organisations to them can access funding from Rosa.** 



## Accessibility 

**our simple and straightforward application process improves access to funding for many of our grantees.** 

**14** 



**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **Rosa’s value to donors** 

## Trust 

**We ensure our donors’ funding is spent effectively on causes they care about and on organisations whose missions they believe in.** 

## Reach 

**We reach organisations many donors wouldn’t be able to fund directly without building up a significant grant-making infrastructure.** 

## Expertise 

**We understand the context in which women’s and girls’ organisations operate. We have the expertise and a robust due diligence process that ensures funding goes where it is most needed and is well spent.** 

## Impact 

**Through a single donation to Rosa, donors can reach a wide range of organisations, issues and regions. Rosa will provide donors with material which clearly demonstrates the impact of their grants.** 

**15** 



**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **Our activities 2021-22** 

**Rosa’s main activity is grant-making, but it’s about more than just distributing funds. We work with the sector to understand where gaps in funding exist, identifying both long term and pressing issues and we design accessible, impactful funding programmes that meet the needs of women and girls across the UK.** 

We actively fundraise to cover the costs of our activities because, unlike many grant-makers, we do not have an endowment. 

**In any given year, Rosa is operating funding programmes in three different ways: distributing grants through a programme, managing grant awards that have previously been distributed and designing and fundraising for a new programme. This is reflected in our financial statements on pages 45-69.**

The Women Thrive Fund aimed to improve mental health and wellbeing and financial resilience by offering grants of up to £50,000 to women’s and girl's organisations. The fund launched in February 2021 and grants were awarded in 2021/22.**

## **Investing in organisations** 

## **Justice and Equality Fund (JEF)** 

**Launched in 2018 from a hugely successful and high profile crowdfunding campaign, the Justice and Equality Fund aimed to tackle the culture of sexual harassment, abuse and impunity in the UK by resourcing a network of advice, support, and advocacy organisations. With our funding, grantees were able to deliver innovative projects to address sexual harassment in workplaces, communities and in public spaces.** 

The fund’s final grants were awarded in 2021/22, bringing the total amount of funding distributed to £2.5 million across 59 grants. 



**“Rosa funded us under the Justice Equality Fund to work on a specialist legal advice project called My Body My Rules, in partnership with Latin American Women’s Association and the Angelou Centre. The project focuses on BME and migrant women’s experiences of sexual harassment and abuse. It’s allowed us to better understand sexual harassment in the context of violence against women and girls and how it fits in with our existing work.”**

**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **Grant programmes designed and fundraised for in 2021/22** 

## **Rise Fund** 

## **Voices from the Frontline** 

## **The Rise Fund was developed in response to findings from an in-depth review of Rosa grantees and their experiences during the pandemic.** 

**Voices from the Frontline funds grassroots campaigning and activism to elevate the issues experienced by women and girls across the UK.** 

We have not run Voices from the Frontline since before the pandemic, but have continued to manage the grantees from previous programmes throughout 2021/22. We also worked with Kering Foundation to distribute further funding to three grantees. 

Time and again, organisations led by and for Black and minoritised women and girls told us how they were losing out on funding opportunities to race and gender ‘neutral’ organisations. They were faced with delivering complex service provision on very limited funds. 

Through the Rise Fund, we have offered two-year grants of up to £40,000 to organisations led by and for black and minoritised women and girls that have been established for three years or more, and that have an average income of less than £100,000 per year. Grants will provide support with areas of organisational development work and projects will end by December 2024. 

“ We secured funding from Rosa’s Voices from the Frontline fund for four years and the impact has been significant. These grants have enabled us to transform our activism work. We have been able to reach out and engage with more women and girls through public events, service user groups, online consultations and co-production.” 

Rosa formed a critical friends group and working group, comprised of Rosa Trustees and experts from the sector, all Black and minoritised women, to guide the fund. In addition, a team of independent assessors were recruited and trained to assess the shortlisted applicants. We worked with our funding partners throughout the year to raise the full costs and launched the fund in November 2021 with a total of £1.4 million. 


**Rape Crisis Tyneside, Voices from the Frontline grantee, 2021.** 

“I am proud and delighted that Rosa is investing in so many incredible organisations led by and for Black and minoritised women through the Rise Fund. There is a huge need for sustainability funding and Rosa has a proud history of funding women’s and girls’ organisations that otherwise struggle to access funding. Through the Rise Fund, organisations will be in a stronger position to thrive and grow in the future, which is why we will be continuing to seek investment to carry on this vital work.” 

**Lisa Raftery, Rosa Trustee and Chair of the Rise Fund Advisory Panel, 2022.** 

1  In Autumn 2020, Rosa conducted video calls with 52 of the 99 organisations we supported with the two Covid-19 response funds, 80% of which were with organisations led by and for Black and minoritised women and girls.

**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **Investing in organisations** 

## **Stand With Us Fund** 

**The Stand With Us fund was set up in 2021/22 to support the many organisations run by and for women who stand up and take action every day to address violence against women and girls (VAWG). Started with donations raised by Reclaim These streets, the Stand With Us fund aims to empower and strengthen organisations to build safer futures for women and girls.** 

The Stand With Us fund opened in April 2022, offering one-year grants of up to £25,000 to organisations delivering frontline services addressing violence against women and girls in the UK. The funding was available to organisations with an average annual income over the last three years of between £100,000 and £500,000. 

Rosa worked with an Advisory Group comprised of two Rosa Trustees, five VAWG experts from across the UK as well as two representatives of Reclaim These Streets, to determine the parameters of the fund. The Advisory Group developed and agreed the details of the fund, including the type of organisations the fund will support; the aim and priorities of the fund, and how much organisations can apply for. 



**“My experience of being an Advisory Group member for the Stand With Us fund has been avery positive. The group represented people from diverse backgrounds with experience in VAWG sector.  The diverse experiences of the members benefitted in setting up sincere eligibility funding criteria to make it easy for many small organisations to apply.  I strongly believe this funding will help many women to gain back their confidence and control of their choice/s.”**

## **Research** 

**Rosa’s consultations and research projects provide evidence and expertise to make the case for further investment into the women and girls sector.** 

Coinciding with the launch of the UN’s 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence in November 2021, we conducted a survey of the sector, to understand organisations’ experiences of VAWG during the pandemic. 77% of the organisations surveyed believed the risk of violence faced by the women and girls they worked with had increased during the last year. 

Our partnership work with The National Lottery Community Fund and Esmée Fairbairn Foundation has resulted in a research project which will map funding across the sector and identify where gaps in funding exist. Results will be available in January 2023.

**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **Strategic goals** 

**Rosa remains the only organisation dedicated to funding and resourcing organisations across the UK’s women and girls sector.** 

## **Investing in organisations** 

**Our overarching goal is to increase the income distributed to the sector, by raising and distributing it ourselves and by working with others to enable them to do the same.** 

We have chosen to focus our funding in three key areas over the next three years: addressing the impact of male violence against women and girls through the Stand with Us Fund; investment in organisations led by and for Black and minoritised women and girls through the Rise Fund and amplifying the voices of women and girls through campaigning through the Voices from the Frontline programme. 

At the same time, we remain committed to responding to both the immediate and emerging challenges facing organisations in the women and girls sector and working in collaboration with others to build specific, one-off funds which address that need. 


## **Strengthening the women and girls sector** 

**In addition to funding, Rosa seeks to strengthen women’s and girls’ organisations, offering a programme of free events and training, online and in person, which enhance the way organisations work and the work they do.** 

Rosa’s free annual digital conference provides a moment, each year, for the sector to join in solidarity, to reflect on the challenges we face and to celebrate the spirit of the sector.

**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **Using our voice to achieve change** 

**We will use our voice to achieve change for the women and girls sector. By communicating the enormous value of women-led organisations, we will ensure other funders, including businesses as well as central and local Government, invest in these organisations to secure their future for the benefit of women and girls.** 

Listening to the experiences of the sector and conducting research will enable us to build evidence of the most pressing needs of the women and girls sector. We will continue to understand how best to address these needs, by capturing the impact of our funding through careful monitoring and evaluation and sharing our learning with others. We do this in order to improve our work and enhance the work of others in the field. 


## **Equality, Diversion and Inclusion** 

**Rosa will continue to take our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion extremely seriously.  We will prioritise funding to organisations led by and for disabled women, women who are LGBTQ+ and women who are from Black and minoritised communities.** 

We recognise that racism is a deep-seated issue in society, stemming from behaviours and actions (both conscious and unconscious) that reinforce structures that are prejudiced and discriminatory. We will continue to actively review our work to understand how racism and racial inequality are perpetuated and/or maintained by our current approach and to identify what steps we need to take to address this and change. Over the past 18 months Rosa staff and Trustees have worked with Dr Roberta Babb, who is a chartered and clinical psychologist, forensic psychodynamic psychotherapist, and an organisational consultant with an expertise in EDI and who has supported us to reflect on our individual and collective attitudes to race and racism. 

Across all our funding programmes we will seek to address power imbalances in our design and execution of funds by ensuring the voices of Black and minoritised women are included from the outset as advisers and decision-makers.  We intend to further embed the principles of anti-racism and equity in all aspects of our work and to engage with the women and girls sector on this work in the next financial year (2022/23).

Structure, Governance
and Management
32

**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

As set out in Rosa’s Articles of Association, a Board of Directors (the Charity Trustees) governs Rosa. The Board is responsible for overall policies and strategic direction of the charity, along with its financial and legal probity. 

## **TRUSTEE RECRUITMENT** 

In accordance with Rosa’s Articles of Association, new Trustees are appointed by the Board for a three-year term and may be appointed for two further three-year terms. The Board actively considers diversity and geographical representation along with a range of relevant skills and experience when recruiting new Trustees. On induction, new Trustees are provided with background documentation about Rosa and guidance from the existing Board and staff as well as Charity Commission guidance on the responsibilities of Trustees. In addition to their expertise in women’s issues, leadership and philanthropy, Rosa’s current Trustees also bring diverse backgrounds in human resources, partnerships, fundraising, governance, charity law, grantmaking, finance and communications. 

## **DECISION MAKING** 

The Board of Trustees meets on a quarterly basis, and this includes an annual strategy away-day. Ahead of each meeting, the Chief Executive Officer provides a meeting agenda and papers to support the Trustees’ decision making. Minutes are recorded of each meeting. The Articles of Association provide for extraordinary virtual meetings, which are also minuted. 

Each grants programme is overseen by a Grants Panel which is given delegated authority by the Board of Trustees to make decisions on grants. Each Grants Panel is governed by Terms of Reference (ToR) adopted by the Board. Grants Panels include a minimum of two Trustees and are attended by the Chief Executive Officer. The ToR specify the limits of authority delegated by the Trustees, including the grants budget. Trustees have adopted a Grants Manual and a Staff Handbook which contain policies and procedures approved by the Board and these are reviewed and updated regularly. 

Trustees and staff are expected to always conduct the business of Rosa with integrity.  Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and to register them in accordance with Rosa’s policy and to withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises. Any relevant gift or hospitality received by Trustees and staff is also recorded in the Register of Interests.  Grants made to any organisation with whom a Trustee of Rosa has a conflict are disclosed in the related party transactions note, forming part of the financial statements. 

The Board of Trustees is supported by a number of Committees who advise and make recommendations on key areas of Rosa’s work.  Consideration is given to the composition of the Committee’s in terms of collective skills and experience required to support Rosa’s operational strategy and to ensure its charitable aims are delivered.  To allow for greater focus, discussion and scrutiny, each Committee has a clear Terms of Reference and is made up of a mixture of Trustees and staff members. 

Finance, Audit and Risk Committee: the role of this Committee is to ensure the integrity of the financial reporting and audit process and to oversee the maintenance of sound internal control and risk management systems. 

**33** 



**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

People and Pay Committee: the remit of this Committee is to oversee Rosa’s HR and remuneration policies, considering Rosa’s legal duties and obligations and how they contribute to Rosa’s organisational culture and make recommendations to the Board. Its responsibility is to ensure Rosa’s existing policies, practices and procedures relating to employees, volunteers, Trustees and other personnel are fit for purpose and up to date. 

Grants Committee – the purpose of this Committee is to oversee and add value to Rosa’s grant making policies and practices. The Grants Committee is an advisory Committee to the main board. Its responsibility is to provide strategic and directional oversight to Rosa’s grantmaking, to ensure Rosa’s grantmaking is efficient and to provide practical advice and support relating to Rosa’s grantmaking approaches. 

Fundraising Committee – the remit of this Committee is to review Rosa’s fundraising strategy including SWOT analysis, targets and timetable of fundraising events, review Rosa’s Case(s) for Support for Core and programme funding and support the development of individual cultivation and stewardship plans with Trusts and Foundations, Major Donors and Corporates. 

## **KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL** 

The Trustees, together with the Chief Executive Officer, comprise the key management of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running, and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. The Trustees receive no remuneration. 

The Chief Executive Officer is appraised annually by the Chair and staff are appraised annually by the Chief Executive Officer. Salaries are offered in line with market and industry rates and are reviewed on a regular basis by the People and Pay Committee. 

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT AND CHARITABLE OBJECTIVES** 

The objects of the Charity, as stated in the Memorandum of Association are, “to further any purposes which are charitable under the laws of England and Wales from time to time, including to promote the efficiency and effectiveness of charities and the effective use of charitable resources, with particular reference to charities working with women or addressing issues that affect women.” 

Rosa ensures it delivers against these charitable objectives, in line with our vision, mission and values. The main activities carried out are set out in the ‘Our activities 2021/22’ section above. 

Rosa Fund is a Public Benefit Entity. The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the charity. In particular, the Trustees consider carefully how future strategy and planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives of the Charity. 

**34** 



**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **RISK MANAGEMENT** 

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable reassurance against fraud and error. 

Rosa Trustees have identified key strategic risks which are reviewed regularly by the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee. These are maintained on a risk register along with Rosa’s operational and project risks. The Risk Register is reviewed by the whole Board of Trustees annually, along with the measures taken to mitigate and manage these risks. Rosa Trustees are satisfied systems are in place to minimise exposure to risks whilst understanding the organisation’s appetite for risk. 

Key risks identified and measures taken this year include: 

## **• Compliance:** 

- Risk: Relationship with auditor is long-standing 

- Mitigation: Trustees agreed to conduct a ‘tender’ of audit firms ahead of the 2022/23 audit 

- Risk: Board of Trustees lacks time to adequately review financial situation and risks of the charity 

- Mitigation: Trustees have established the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee to provide continuous oversight of the organisation’s finances and review risks. The Committee meets quarterly and reports in full to the Board at each Trustee meeting. 

## **• Financial Sustainability:** 

- Risk: Rosa fails to raise enough income to support its core costs and putting the organisation at risk of closure 

- Mitigation: There has been a clear focus on fundraising, recruiting a Head of Fundraising and Communications, establishing a Fundraising Committee (where specific Trustees work with the CEO and relevant fundraising staff) and building a clear case for support to engage donors with the value of Rosa’s work. 

## **• Specific to Rosa** 

- Risk: Rosa’s operating model and strategic direction is unclear or becomes diverted by immediate emergencies and needs in the sector 

- Mitigation: Rosa has continued to work with Lucent Consultancy to develop its three-year strategy, clarifying its mission and ambition, embedding its values through all of its work and engaging with external stakeholders (donors, grantees and others) to understand its market position. 

## **LEGAL** 

Trustees take Rosa’s legal compliance in all aspects of our work extremely seriously and seek to mitigate any significant risks that might arise. We have reviewed our organisational policies and sought external support to ensure these are all compliant with the latest legislation. Where necessary we have consulted with legal advisors to ensure we are always acting within the law. More recently we have commissioned the services of Effective HRM to support our human resources work and established a People and Pay Committee to review all organisational policies.

Financial Review
36

**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

The statement of financial activities for the year ended 31st March 2022 shows a net deficit of £292,632 (2021: surplus £2,360,309). These swings in surpluses and deficits relate to timing differences between the date that funds are received for grant making and the timing of the actual grant making. Total fund balances at the year-end of £3,014,958 (2021: £3,300,778) included restricted funds of £2,729,451 (2021: £3,048,235) and unrestricted funds of £285,507 (2021: £252,543). 

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

Rosa’s policy is to hold sufficient free reserves to cover core expenditure (defined as planned unrestricted expenditure) for six months. This is to allow Rosa to continue some level of operation in the event of a sudden deterioration in its finances and to give a degree of freedom to explore opportunities. 

At 31st March 2022, our free reserves were £285,507 which equate to about seven months of planned forward core expenditure. We are comfortable with this level for this year given the continued turbulence in the economy. 

## **PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT POLICIES** 

Financial Policies have been adopted by Trustees and are contained in Rosa’s Staff Handbook and Grants Manual. An annual budget is approved by the Board before the beginning of the financial year. All expenditure is checked against budget and authorised by the budget holder who is responsible for ensuring that the expenditure remains within the agreed limits. Financial and management reports are analysed at the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee and presented quarterly to the Board of Trustees.

Statement of Trustee
Responsibilities

**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Trustees (who are also the Directors of Rosa Fund 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

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. The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included in the charitable company’s website. 

**39** 



**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **GUARANTEES** 

Members of the charitable company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets in the event of winding up. The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the charitable company. 

## **AUDITORS** 

So far as each of the Trustees is aware at the time the report is approved: 

- 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 the information. 

Following a competitive tender for the statutory audit service, Sayer Vincent LLP has been appointed as the charity’s new auditor for 2022/23. 

The Board of Trustees would like to thank Dunkley’s for being a valued partner over the last nine years and wish them well in their future endeavours. 

Approved by the Trustees on 18th October 2022 and signed on their behalf by:

**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 



**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **OPINION** 

We have audited the financial statements of Rosa Fund (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet 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: 

- Give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended 

- Have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice 

- 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 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** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where: 

- the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; and 

- the Trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charitable company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

**42** 



**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **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 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. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- The information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements 

- The charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records 

- The financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns 

- We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **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. 

**43** 



**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **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. 

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 Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under Section 154 of that Act. 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.

**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 

## **1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **a. Basis of Preparing 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 second edition) (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 financial statements are presented in Sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity and are rounded to the nearest pound. 

## **b. Critical Accounting Estimates and Areas of Judgement** 

Preparation of the financial statements requires the trustees to make significant judgements and estimates. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty, or any key judgements made in the preparation of the financial statements. The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are laid out below. 

## **c. Going Concern** 

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. The trustees of the charity have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees are of the opinion that the charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due. 

## **d. Fund Accounting** 

(l) Unrestricted Funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity. 

(ll) Restricted Funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes as specified by the grant giving body or donor. 

## **e. Income** 

All income is included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income, it is probable that it will be received and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. 

The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

(l) Voluntary income is received by way of grants and donations and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Grants receivable are recognised when the Charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. 

(ll) Investment income arises from interest receivable on funds held in interest bearing bank accounts and is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. 

**50** 



**ROSA ANNUAL REPORT:** 2021-2022 

## **f. Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as liabilities are incurred and includes any VAT which cannot fully be recovered. 

(l) Expenditure on charitable activities comprises expenditure related to the direct furtherance of the Charity’s objectives as well as support costs. Grants payable are included under charitable expenditure when a contract is signed with the grantee. 

(ll) Support costs comprise overheads and governance costs. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the management of the charity’s assets, organisational administration and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

## **g. Allocation of Support and Governance Costs** 

Support costs and governance costs are allocated to the charity’s charitable activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **h. Allocation of Expenditure to Activities** 

Expenditure has been allocated to activities, support and governance costs either directly or based on staff time spent delivering those activities. 

## **i. Foreign Currencies** 

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date.  Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. 

## **j. Debtors** 

Debtors are recognised at their settlement amount, less any provision for non-recoverability. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. 

## **k. Cash at Bank and on Deposit** 

Cash at bank and on deposit represents such accounts and instruments that are available on demand or have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition. 

## **l. Creditors and Provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt. 

## **m. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets costing over £500 (including any incidental expenses of acquisition) are capitalised. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic life. The rate of depreciation applied to all assets is 33.33%. 

## **n. Taxation** 

The company is a registered charity and as such is entitled to exemption from taxation under the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988.

## **Purposes of Restricted Funds and movement in funds:** 

- a.  Voices from the Frontline (VftF): is Rosa’s annual grants programme funding organisations to launch campaigns, events and workshops that influence positive change for women and girls across the UK. The programme received new funding in 2021/22; this is represented by a transfer of £287,500 from GlobalGiving in partnership with Cummins to further this work with grantees. 

- b. GlobalGiving in partnership with Cummins: is a partnership with Cummins Inc. engineering firm. A three-year grant was secured in December 2017 which supported Rosa’s core work, the Voices from the Frontline programme and the Accelerator programme. In 2020/21 Cummins agreed a grant extension and repurposing of funds due to the Covid-19 pandemic, to strengthen both organisational capacity and the Rosa’s Covid-19 response. Funds carried forward to 2021/22 for further core support and capacity work in 2021/22, including Rosa’s annual conference, were fully spent down in year as planned. A new three-year grant was secured in November 2021/22, supporting Rosa’s core work, capacity building and the Voices from the Frontline programme. Closing funds include a transfer of £287,500 to the Voices from the Frontline programme. 

- c. UK Justice and Equality Fund (the JEF): is an initiative to tackle the culture of harassment and abuse by resourcing a network of women’s and girls’ organisations and projects across the UK. The JEF was launched in February 2018 with several large donations from individuals and companies in the entertainment industry, and other funds crowd-sourced through GoFundMe. Closing funds will cover delivery costs over the next eighteen months. 

- d. Covid-19 Response Fund: is a fund set up to raise and disburse funds for women’s and girls’ organisations affected by the Covid-19 crisis. Rosa distributed unrestricted small grants to specialist women’s and girls’ organisations across the UK. The aim was to help organisations adapt their services to meet the increased needs of women and girls during Covid-19. The programme is funded by donations, grants from Comic Relief, Esmee Fairbairn, The Talent Fund and The Waterloo Foundation, and a repurposing of funds from GlobalGiving in partnership with Cummins to strengthen the Covid-19 response. Funds are carried forward for further core support in 2022/23 

- e. Fondation Chanel: is a three-year partnership with the Chanel Foundation started in 2018 to support Rosa’s work by supporting key posts. Funds carried forward to 2021/22 were fully spent down as planned, to support Rosa to build profile with other funders, in the media and online. New funding received in 2021/22 has allowed Rosa to develop its fundraising capacity by supporting a new Head of Fundraising and Communications post for twelve months. Funds are carried forward to 2022/23 for this purpose. 

- f. Corston Independent Funders Coalition is a network of funders focussed on delivering the recommendations of the Corston Report (2008). Rosa led a leadership initiative with the support of grants from Barrow Cadbury Trust, Lankelly Chase and JABBs Foundation. Closing funds carried forward to 2021/22 were returned to the JABBS Foundation following a request for return of funds. 

- g. Covid-19 Emergency Fund BME Phase 1: is a partnership fund between Imkaan and Rosa. The fund was set up to raise and disburse funds to organisations led ‘by and for’ Black and minoritised women working to end violence against women and girls (VAWG). The programme received grant funding from Imkaan, Esmee Fairbairn, The Indigo Trust and The Emmanuel Kaye Foundation. The grant funding from Imkaan was in relation to the donation of emergency funding to BME women’s services in the UK by the Oak Foundation. Funds are carried forward for further core support in 2022/23.

The programme received grant funds in 2020/21 from The Indigo Trust, The Clothworkers’ Foundation and The Tudor Trust.
