STATEMENT OF TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES (CONTINUED)
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document The Charity, which is a registered charity (Registered Number: 1129275), is governed by the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association (incorporated 9 March 2009).
Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as members of the Management Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles the members of the Management Committee are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must stand down and offer themselves for re-election at the next Annual General Meeting.
As a needs-led charity, the Trustees are selected to offer a wide range of skills and experience that are of benefit to the charity.
Trustee Induction and Training The induction process for Trustees includes an initial meeting with the Chair and information on the powers and responsibilities of the Trustees. Trustees are provided with a briefing pack which includes a brief history of the Charity, a copy of the charity’s constitution, copies of minutes of recent Trustees’ meetings and copies of the previous year’s annual report and accounts.
The Trustees review the skill requirements for the Trustee Board periodically and undertake an annual review of their collective and individual performance and contribution to the Charity.
Risk Management
The Trustees have reviewed the major risks facing the charity and have established systems and procedures to manage those risks. In particular, the trustees have considered the risks relating to the operations and finances of the Charity and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks identified.

This is done through:
-
Providing educational or training services;
-
Providing advocacy/advice/information;
-
Sponsoring or undertaking research; 4. Acting as an umbrella company or resource body.
Sustainable and Environmental Education (SEEd) became a new charity in April 2009 and this year has been one of continuing to develop the strategy to drive the charity forward for the greatest impact and change. A review of all programmes was finished to assess their financial viability and ability to be scaled up. The Programme Committee was continued to develop the content offered by the charity. In addition, longitudinal evidence of impact of programmes was begun to be collected in survey form and through online Zoom interviews. This was to reflect the UN Sustainable Development Goals, changes in the education sector, scaling up, succession planning and applying for awards. As this financial year was impacted by Covid-19 the charity used the time to design and trial more online content delivery, implement remote meeting and working, develop workplans and groups and to finalise the strategy of the charity for the foreseeable future.
SUSTAINABLE AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 315 MARCH 2022 OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT (CONTINUED) SEEd’s focus is on real change, putting learning at the heart of sustainability and sustainability at the heart of learning at individual, institutional and societal levels. Having reviewed our current small offer of change programmes and decided they were fit for our strategy and purpose and were unique enough to still be an essential offer to education, we began the work to develop business plans and explore scaling up options. SEEd’s focus is on transformational education approaches that enable people of all ages to be part ofworking towards a sustainable and just future.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The charities achievements and performance are summarised based on it its four main objectives as detailed below:
Providing educational or training services The review of all programmes to assess their financial viability, ability to be scaled up and evidence of impact of programmes led to both small changes that could be made easily and bigger goals being developed. These are now embedded in a Transition workplan and 3 year financial budgeting process.
The small improvement and trials were developed including videos on the website of impact of our Change Maker programmes, developing a mentoring scheme, extending the programme to 50 contact hours and developing an alumni base.
Impact of COVID-19 pandemic continued in adjusting SEEd’s work. SEEd did not utilise the HMRC Job Retention Scheme or reduce its work. Instead, it took the opportunity to revise and adapt its Changemaker course for online delivery. This was so successful that it is now a standard part of the course.
The SEEd Youth Listening Project was delayed due to COVID 19. It was relaunched in January 2022 and again has received hundreds ofresponses. Teachers in particular appreciate getting the results back on their class, school or whole school community.
Other opportunities to deliver via online platforms have also been explored.
The Whole Institution Approach (a generic model based on the UNESCO model that Ann Finlayson helped develop) was made free to users via the website with a possibility of being mentored through this process if educational institutions choose this option. This is a unique, detailed ‘how to’ but with the opportunity for SEEd to act as facilitators and mentors as institutions take up this culture change to sustainability through a continuous improvement and learning model.
The Young Change Makers Course clients were delayed by school closures during COVID 19 but have retained their interest to continue once schools reopened again mid 2021. A multi-partner project was developed for funding a Young Change Makers programme in Gloucestershire. This will be endorsed by Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership, working with the Gloucestershire LEP.
Workshops were delivered to:
Oxford School Governors on Whole School Approaches; London Schools Climate Summit on young change makers and developing agency; Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership;
Providing advocacy/advice/information This was a very big year for advice and advocacy for SEEd.
We worked with Lord Jim Knight advising, developing and briefing for his Private Members Bill. We offered and he took the SEEd campaign words of “care for oneself, care for others and care for the environment" to include in the Education Act as a purpose of education. This Bill progressed through the House of Lords readings and committee stages and hada first reading in the House of Commons and unfortunately ran out of time in the parliamentary process. More ideas are being discussed.
SUSTAINABLE AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 315 MARCH 2022
At COP 26 the Department of Education (DfE) launched a draft strategy on Sustainability and Climate Change. Ann Finlayson and SEEd we invited to 3 user groups in the consultation and in fact Ann was asked to give a ‘Lunch and Learn’ training session to the DfE team working on the strategy. The strategy was launched in April 2022 and user groups will also continue.
A very small group of 6 people across all levels of education were then invited to be part of a DfE team to help advise on delivery of the strategy as well as work on the further development of it. This will continue to 2030. As a result of this SEEd has been invited to many events to discuss the strategy as well as reflecting on it with invited blogs and running webinars for Our Shared World.
SEEd was able to advise internationally - mostly in Europe. Two contracts were awarded — one to advise and guide a research report on the practice and policies of Education for Environmental Sustainability (EES) for the European Commission (EC), Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture. Secondly a desktop report was developed for the European Expert Network on Economics of Education (EENEE), funded by the EC on the Impact of Covid-19 on the ESD in the context of the twin transition.
Thirdly, SEEd was asked by the Sustainability Commissioner for Gibraltar to create a short influential video on Whole School Approach for the EC meetings. This was well received, and more are asked for.
Finally the EC were exploring sustainability competencies and Ann attended many stakeholder meetings regarding this development of policy. All these policies have been approved and are available on the EC website.
SEEd’s successful monthly newsletter continues to drive interest, enquiries and engagement. Our LinkedIn networks were strongly developed and expanded.
SEEd continued to provide support and advice to a variety of organisations including: The Arbor School, Dubai, West Horsley Place, Surrey, Festival of Education, Natural Environment Sector Partnership, Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership, Professor Tim O-Riordan, Wellington College, Solar for Schools, The Brookings Institute, Our Shared World coalition, The Big Change, The Worshipful Company of Educators, PPMi a research institute in Lithuania with contracts with the EC, Flooglebinder.
SEEd became Co-Chair of Our Shared World (OSW) in January 2021 having been a member of the coalition. Its new structure and work plan, developed by SEEd in collaboration with others, focussed on the coalition structure, the Purpose of Education, action research and developing a social movement as routes to advocate and influence for the better take up of SDG4.7 on ESD at all levels of education.
The SEEd campaign to place a purpose of education to ‘care for oneself, care for others and care for the environment’ (which had been running for 8 years) was integrated as a campaign within Our Shared World. We were also able to create the OSW website, logo and marketing. We ran many webinars after COP 26 called ‘Did you COP that?’ to promote learning, other voices, sharing and to input into policy. As a result, the OSW Coalition developed into the largest coalition in this sector in the UK with nearly 400 members.
In March 2022 SEEd supported Wellington College Sustainability to propose a sustainability strand in the Festival of Education. This is an annual event which is claimed to draw in approximately 10,000 teachers and educators of whom 85% are from the state system and many receive free places. Approval was given for 2022 Festival for a dedicated sustainability strand, venue, keynotes and an Atrium for providers of ESD resources and training. WWF UK came on board as the third partner with funding. SEEd became the content partners driving the design of the strand and co-ordinating the Atrium. The event was run in July 2022.

SUSTAINABLE AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 315 MARCH 2022
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)
Sponsoring or Undertaking Research Many of the above meetings and advice sessions have led to further relationships and potential partnerships especially once the COVID 19 pandemic was seen as over. Of particular note has been advising on the EC DG for Education report on Education for Environmental Sustainability (EES) across Europe — practices, policies and recommendations. This lead to a further contract on the Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Education for Sustainability (ESD) and advice on ESD competencies in the summer of 2021.
The second main objective of the Our Shared World coalition was to gather evidence of impact and SEEd undertook to coordinate the Education for Sustainability (ESD) and environmental education (EE) review of evidence. Given that much EE and ESD is conducted in England and supported by NGOs this is not an easy task.
Acting as an Umbrella or Resource Body The success of the 4 times growth of the Our Shared World Coalition and the potential for engaging and supporting many organisations for the Festival of Education demonstrated again the convening power of SEEd asa trusted and respected leader in education for sustainability. This is also born out by its key role in DfE advice and UNESCO.
SEEd's website, newsletter, social media (Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn) continue to drive interest in SEEd, its programmes with no loss of membership or numbers engaged. The Programme Committee reviewed how SEEd could act as a resource body and the website was tweaked to update this, plus each newsletter now has a theme linked to ESD and external events and drivers. The newsletter and social media accounts are all linked now to each monthly theme. A measure of SEEd’s success is the ability to engage with many organisations from not just experts in the sustainability and education field but also to bring in new voices especially ofyoung people.
Other
Finally, SEEd was accepted by UNESCO UK National Committee as the UK entrant into the UNESCO Japan ESD Global Prize for its Changemakers Programme.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Financial results for the year show a surplus of income over expenditure of £25,248 (2021: deficit £4,713). The trustees are satisfied with the financial position, which they consider is adequately disclosed in the attached accounts.
Reserves Policy The Trustees have a policy of three months reserves to cover all costs and this was the case throughout 2021/22.
The restricted funds are for their specified purpose and the reserves held are equal to the amount remaining. The balance of restricted funds as of 31 March 2022 was £nil (2021: £nil).
Principal Funding Sources The Charity generates its income from paid for services, subscriptions and donations. All programmes do offer free or subsidised places to those who cannot afford the programme.
SEEd has secured core funding over 3 years as part of SEEd’s ambition to scale up and develop the reach of its transformative programmes.
Investment Policy The Charity will utilise other investment opportunities as they arise but any investment must have the full support of the board of trustees, after taking professional advice.
SUSTAINABLE AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 315' MARCH 2022
FINANCIAL REVIEW (CONTINUED)
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
SEEd feels it has a real understanding and evidence of what transformational educational approaches are and why they are so important. It feels it does not need to keep inventing new programmes but scale up those that work as they work as a complete package for change for education towards a sustainable and just future.
SEEd plans to develop a workplan to finalise the strategy. This includes exploring partnerships, coalitions, funding opportunities and self-funding opportunities. 2021/2022 has seen a significant increase in SEEd’s profile and reach.
This will mean building capacity to undertake the scaled up work envisaged — including an alumni network, mentors, facilitators, and sharing more evidence of impact to engage new audiences and make ESD accessible to all.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SUSTAINABLE AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 315T MARCH 2022
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Charities Act), and that an independent examination is needed.
I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law, or otherwise, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
@ examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Charities Act,
- ¢ to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
¢ To keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and
-
¢ To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
