## **Introduction from the Chair and Chief Executive** 

## John Lazar and Philip Colligan 

2022 was a landmark year for the Foundation and our mission to empower young people to realise their full potential through the power of computing and digital technologies. 

We celebrated a significant anniversary: ten years since the launch of the first Raspberry Pi computer in February 2012. While many of us remember the excitement at getting hold of one of those first credit card–sized PCs, none of us really imagined the huge impact that the project would have on the world, creating a new class of general-purpose computers and helping to kickstart a movement to democratise computing education for all. 

Our commercial subsidiary, Raspberry Pi Ltd, is now one of the world’s most exciting technology companies, bringing the Foundation’s mission to life through its commitment to making computing available at low cost for everyone. In the face of an unprecedented global semiconductor shortage, the team has worked incredibly hard over the past year to maintain supplies, particularly to those businesses that depend on the availability of our hardware. We ended 2022 with supplies starting to return to normal and almost 50 million Raspberry Pi computers in the world. At the same time, the team has continued to innovate, launching a wireless version of our microcontroller product, the Raspberry Pi Pico W. 

We are all indebted to the founders of Raspberry Pi and the brilliant team of engineers and community builders who breathed life into the product and the movement. 



## The Foundation’s educational activities have 

continued to go from strength to strength. Spanning formal education, non-formal learning, and research, our focus continues to be on creating opportunities for young people who experience educational disadvantage or come from backgrounds that are traditionally underrepresented in computing. 

We saw a significant return of in-person computing clubs as the pandemic restrictions were finally lifted, with almost 1000 CoderDojos and over 3500 Code Clubs running throughout the year. On the theme of celebrations, we also marked ten years since the first Code Club and the incredible achievement of engaging over 1.8m young people in Code Clubs in that first decade. 

Through our online professional development courses, we supported over 35,000 educators to develop their subject knowledge and pedagogy; there were 1.7m resource downloads from The Computing Curriculum; and more than 18,000 learners completed 1.3m questions on the Isaac Computer Science platform. 

We also continued to expand our reach and impact around the world, including through new partnerships to support learners in rural and refugee communities in Kenya to develop digital skills. 

2022 will also be remembered as a landmark year for technological change with the explosion of AI, including large language models and other generative AI tools. It’s more important than ever that teachers and young people understand the impact that AI is having on the world, the opportunities and ethical implications it brings, and the role that it could play in their lives. That’s why we have launched Experience AI, a new collaboration with one of the world’s leading AI companies, Google DeepMind, that will support and inspire thousands of teachers and learners through curriculum, resources, and training. 

The Foundation team at the 2022 all-staff residential 

Our work on AI education is underpinned by research in the Raspberry Pi Computing Education Research Centre based at the University of Cambridge. July saw the official launch of the Centre, and by the end of the year we welcomed its first PhD students. 

We would like to thank everyone who has made all of this possible, including staff, Trustees, members, partners, and the vibrant community of educators, young people, and makers. We look forward to continuing to work with you to transform lives through the power of computing and digital technologies.

## **The Computing Curriculum** 

Comprehensive classroom resources for the entire computing curriculum 

The Computing Curriculum is a comprehensive bank of almost 500 hours of classroom resources to support schools to deliver computing lessons to 5- to 16-year-olds. The Curriculum is organised in units covering the entire breadth of computing, from computer system to programming and the societal impacts of technology, at an appropriate level for each year group. We built the Curriculum on a detailed progression framework to make it cohesive across units, year groups, and the whole schooling period. The learning content (knowledge and skills) is mapped out as interconnected networks we call learning graphs, which help teachers to plan and deliver lessons, and to monitor their learners’ progress. 

## IMPACT 

- **12,928** schools in England downloaded 

- Computing Curriculum lessons 

- **1.7m** Computing Curriculum lesson 

- downloads worldwide 

These classroom resources are backed by our online training courses and the Isaac Computer Science online learning platform. Together they form a complete suite of support for computing teachers. 

We made sure The Computing Curriculum content is suitable for all students irrespective of their academic performance, background, and additional needs. All the materials are free to download, use, and adapt (under an Open Government Licence), allowing teachers to tailor them to their learners and settings. Developed as part of the National Centre for Computing Education, The Computing Curriculum is mapped to exam board standards and covers the entire national computing curriculum in England. 

The resources in The Computing Curriculum include lesson plans, slides, worksheets, homework, and assessment materials. Modelling research-informed pedagogies throughout, the Curriculum is designed to reduce teachers’ workload while also supporting them to improve their subject knowledge and understanding of effective teaching approaches. Opportunities for both formative and summative assessment are built in across the Curriculum. 

In 2022, 12,928 English state schools downloaded lessons from The Computing Curriculum. Since its launch in August 2020, over 3.4 million Computing Curriculum resources have been downloaded.

## **Physical computing in the classroom** 

## Supporting physical computing in schools 

We have distributed physical computing kits to 34 Computing Hub schools across England, as part of **‘** the National Centre for Computing Education. The four types of kits consist of classroom trays of either Crumbles, micro:bits, Raspberry Pi Picos, or Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ computers, plus electronic components. The kits are tailored to support the teaching of units in The Computing Curriculum that focus on physical computing, enabling all schools in England to let their learners get hands-on with computing. 

[The learners] seem much more engaged with seeing something happen. [...] Our children are less theory-based, they tend to talk less and do more. So having something in their hands that is easy to program and then see the results [...] definitely piqued their interest. **’** 

In 2022, we loaned out physical computing kits to schools on 570 occasions, enabling teachers to deliver physical computing lessons without having to invest in hardware themselves.

Funded by the Department for Education and launched in 2018, the NCCE provides comprehensive support for primary and secondary school learners and teachers of computing and computer science (aged 5 to 18). The Foundation has led on  five areas of the NCCE: 

**‘**[Isaac Computer Science ] has had a positive impact on my workload. **’** 

– Teacher 


- To train teachers and increase their knowledge of the subject and effective teaching approaches, we created free online courses about topics from maths and logic, to machine learning, to computing pedagogies in secondary school 

- To facilitate classroom teaching, we developed The Computing Curriculum: a ground-breaking collection of almost 500 hours of resources that supports teachers to deliver computing lessons to 5- to 16-year-olds 

- To support learners and teachers of advanced computer science, we built an online learning platform called Isaac Computer Science in collaboration with University of Cambridge researchers, for use in the classroom, at home, and for revision 

- To support teachers’ understanding of effective computing pedagogy, we wrote and shared 51 reports, summaries, and newsletters about research-informed teaching approaches 

- To promote learners’ understanding and skills of physical computing, we designed and distributed physical computing kits to local hub schools, which teachers can borrow to engage their learners in designing and programming physical computing artefacts 




I am teaching out of subject so [The Computing Curriculum] is a godsend.

## **Experience AI** 

## Inspiring the next generation of AI leaders 

In September, we announced a new collaboration with Google DeepMind, a leading AI unit, to inspire the next generation of AI leaders through resources and learning experiences that help them understand the way that AI and machine learning are changing the world. 

the Raspberry Pi Computing Education Research Centre, we developed an AI education taxonomy that we are using to inform the design of the educational resources. 

Experience AI has two strands: Experience AI Lessons and the Experience AI Challenge. 


**Experience AI Lessons:** To engage and inspire students about AI and its impact on the world, we are developing a set of free learning resources alongside training and support for educators. This will include an introduction to the technologies that enable AI; how AI models are trained; how to frame problems for AI to solve; the societal and ethical implications of AI; and career opportunities. All of the resources are designed around real-world and relatable applications of AI, engaging a wide range of diverse interests and useful to teachers from different subjects. 

**Experience AI Challenge:** Building on the excitement generated through the Experience AI Lessons, we are also designing an AI challenge that will support young people to experiment with AI technologies and explore how these can be used to solve realworld problems. This will provide an opportunity for students to get hands-on with technology and data, along with support for educators. 

With the rapid advances in AI — from machine learning and robotics to computer vision and natural language processing — it’s increasingly important that young people understand how AI is affecting their lives now and the role that it can play in their future. More than anything, we want to make AI relevant and accessible to young people from all backgrounds, and to make sure that we engage young people from backgrounds that are underrepresented in AI careers. 

Development of the Experience AI Lessons is underway now, and we are releasing the whole set in September 2023. Throughout 2023, we will design and pilot the Experience AI Challenge. 

The initial focus of the Experience AI programme is learners aged 11 to 14 in the UK. We are working with teachers, students, and Google DeepMind researchers and engineers to ensure that the materials and learning experiences are engaging and accessible to all, and that they reflect the latest AI technologies and their application.

- Three new learning paths for web development, Python, and Raspberry Pi Pico 

- **1800** project translations in total, projects available in up to **32** languages 

We create projects according to our Digital Making Framework, designing project pathways that develop and support learners’ independence as well as skills and knowledge. The framework is based on leading research; experience of what works in Code Clubs, CoderDojos, and our other programmes for young people; and feedback from the community. Each framework-aligned pathway is made up of six projects: 

when they complete a project or pathway, and awarded 107,200 badges to young people. 

As part of our efforts to translate our digital making projects in order to support learners in areas of educational disadvantage, we began building new volunteer translation communities for an additional five languages spoken in Kenya, South Africa, and India. 

- Explore projects introduce learners to a set of skills and knowledge, and provide step-by-step instructions to help learners develop initial confidence 

- Design projects are opportunities for learners to practise the skills they learnt in the previous Explore projects, and to express themselves creatively 



- The final Invent project, where learners focus on completing a project to meet a project brief, building something for a particular audience or problem 

In 2022, we launched three new project pathways, and together our framework-aligned pathways support learners to code story books, virtual pets, musical instruments, Raspberry Pi Pico creations, data visualisations, websites, and much more. We also introduced digital badges that learners earn 



## **CoderDojo** 


A global movement of volunteer-led, community-based computer programming clubs for young people aged 7 to 17 

CoderDojo is a global movement of free, volunteerled, community-based computer programming clubs where young people aged 7 to 17 can explore digital technology. 


We help volunteers run CoderDojo events in local community venues, such as libraries and youth clubs, by providing them with free support, learning resources, and other materials. At CoderDojos, young people learn to program computers within a social, safe environment and can make projects such as games, mobile apps, and robots. The CoderDojo movement is open-source and each club is unique, reflecting its community. The young people in each Dojo have diverse abilities and interests, and peer mentoring is encouraged, so everyone is actively engaged, develops new skills, and helps each other succeed. 

## IMPACT 

- **946** CoderDojos were active in **71** countries, running in-person or online events; **143** more CoderDojos were planning sessions 

In Dojo sessions, young people learn through determination, innovation, and discovery, because the volunteers who mentor participants encourage a ‘trial and error’ approach to creating digital projects, supporting young people to develop a growth mindset. 

- **32%** of participants were girls 

- **142** new CoderDojos verified 

- CoderDojo resources were accessed **21,323** times

## **Scouts’ Digital Maker Badge** 

## Supporting Scouts to develop digital skills for life 

Working with the Scout Association in the UK, we developed the Scouts’ Digital Maker Staged Activity Badge. This staged badge introduces digital making to young people and Scout leaders. The first stages support Scouts to engage with how digital technology is used in daily life, and they learn about giving instructions to computers, and how to create simple programs. The later stages involve using programming and electronic components to create projects that are suitable for a Scouting activity, and projects that help address real-life local or global problems. We provide fun learning resources and projects to support young people and volunteers to work through the five stages and meet the requirements to earn the badge. 

In 2022, we began supporting Scout leaders with inperson workshops again as restrictions to stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic continued to be unwound. We also delivered webinars to support Scout groups with sourcing digital making hardware to work on badge activities. 

## IMPACT 

- **22,353** Digital Maker Staged Activity Badges awarded in 2022 

- **119,013** badges awarded in total since the partnership started in 2018

## **The European Astro Pi Challenge** 



Giving young people the opportunity to write computer programs that run in space 

Through the European Astro Pi Challenge, we inspire young people to get involved in computing through the unique experience of writing code that runs on Raspberry Pi computers aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Run in partnership with ESA Education, the Astro Pi Challenge is open to young people up to age 19 in ESA (European Space Agency) member and partner countries. There are two Astro Pi missions young people can participate in. 

## IMPACT 

- **28,126** young people from **26** countries participated in the Astro Pi Challenge 2021/22 across Mission Space Lab and Mission Zero 

- **44%** of participants were girls 

- **299** teams progressed through Mission Space Lab to run their experiments in space, an increase of **29%** compared to 2021 

In Mission Space Lab, teams of young people design and program a scientific experiment to run on board the ISS. This mission runs over eight months, culminating in the teams analysing and reporting on the data their experiments gather. Examples from the 2021/22 teams included an experiment that used the machine learning accelerator on the newly upgraded Astro Pi computers to analyse images of clouds in real time, and a project that identified seaweed rafts associated with macroplastics in the ocean by calculating the NDVI (normalised difference vegetation index) for captured images. 

- Since 2015, **83,891** young people have run their own programs on board the ISS thanks to the Astro Pi Challenge 

In my opinion, Astro Pi is the perfect place to give students the opportunity to become creative and apply what they are learning in STEM subjects. 

Mission Zero is a beginners’ coding activity that can be completed in an hour in a classroom, a coding club session, or at home. The young people who participate write a simple program in an online interface. Their program runs on the Astro Pi computers on board the ISS to take a sensor reading and communicate it to the astronauts with a personalised message or image created by the participants. 

- Astro Pi mentor 


This year, for the first time, Mission Zero participants wrote their programs in the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s Code Editor, a new online textbased coding environment we are building to help young people learn to write code. Our work on the Code Editor was generously funded by Algorand Foundation and Endless.

Coolest Projects is an online showcase to inspire, motivate, and celebrate young tech creators. It gives young people everywhere the opportunity to share their tech creations with the world in an online gallery, to discover the cool things their peers have made, and to be inspired to continue creating with digital technology. In addition to the online showcase, there are country-wide Coolest Projects events, run by us or by partner organisations to give regional communities of young people, educators, volunteers, and parents the space to come together in person. 

## IMPACT 

- **2508** young people in **46 countries** showcased **2092** projects in the online gallery 

- **45%** of participants were girls 

**•** Six regional Coolest Projects events took place in Belgium, Czechia, Hungary, Iraq, Malaysia, and South Africa, hosted by partner organisations, which together engaged approximately **1000** young people 

Through Coolest Projects, we support young people on their journey of creating meaningful projects using digital technology. Young people register projects they have created in a range of categories, including Scratch projects, games, mobile, web, and hardware-based projects. There is also an Advanced category for projects with the most ambitious uses of technology. 

**• 94%** of participants surveyed said they are more interested in programming and computers as a result of taking part in Coolest Projects 


Every year we see young people creating purposedriven projects. Examples from 2022 include: a hardware project that determines the proximity and behaviour of elephants by classifying their vocalisations to help rural villages share elephants’ habitat more peacefully; a mobile app that helps families to save water easily and enjoyably; and a data dashboard and platform to track pollution and measure the impact of climate change. 

_Broadcom Coding with Commitment_ ™ promotes the importance of coding as a 21st century+ skill that everyone, including girls and under-resourced or underrepresented youth, needs to become digitally literate and succeed in careers built on emerging technologies of the future. 

In 2022, we saw more than 2500 young people from 46 countries share projects in the Coolest Projects online gallery, as well as regional events in six countries that reached around 1000 young people. 

‘[[The coolest thing about ] Coolest Projects is that] it is a platform for students all around the world to share their creativity, opinions, and ideas.’ 


## **‘[[The coolest thing about ] Coolest Projects is that] anyone can have a go.’** 

Broadcom Foundation partners with us to bring the _Broadcom Coding with Commitment_ ™ programme to Coolest Projects in order to encourage participants to ‘act locally and think globally’ by using coding to solve problems they care about that impact their communities related to health, sanitation, energy, climate change, and the other world-scale challenges aligned with the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

## **Community partnerships** 

## Partnering with local organisations to support young people from underserved communities 

In 2022, we partnered with a range of community organisations in the UK and the USA to provide hardware and experiences in computing and digital making to young people who might not otherwise have access to a computer at home, or to opportunities to explore creative activities with digital technologies. 

If I’d known [a digital making workshop] was this easy to run, we would’ve done it a long time ago. 

- Lead facilitator at a UK children’s charity 

Through the Learn at Home campaign, we worked with 48 youth and community organisations to distribute Raspberry Pi computers to educationally disadvantaged young people in England, Scotland, and Wales. Recipients included young people in recently relocated refugee families from Afghanistan and Ukraine. We distributed 2490 sets of Raspberry Pi computers and all necessary peripherals, alongside a programme of training and support for youth and social workers to enable them to help young people with the setup and use of the computers. The impact was immediate: The computers enabled young people to engage with their schooling and the offers of community organisations, to apply for jobs, to improve their digital literacy skills, and to explore digital making. For young people from refugee families, the Raspberry Pi computers also facilitated their participation in online English lessons, and staying connected with their families around the world. 

as part of their regular provision, reaching over 1000 underserved young people. This work was generously funded by Meta and the PA Foundation. 

In the USA, we supported five youth organisations to run three- to six-week digital making initiatives, including a Cultura con Raspberry Pi programme (culturally relevant digital making workshops in Spanish) based on our 2021 pilot. Two partner organisations integrated digital making into their ongoing offering. This work was generously funded by Broadcom Foundation and Best Buy Foundation. We also ran physical computing workshops at the Northeast Ohio STEM Ecosystem event, reaching an estimated 1500 young people.

## **Partnership with Amala Education in Kenya** 

In 2022, in partnership with Amala Education, we adapted part of the content in the Teach Computing Curriculum for displaced learners aged 16 to 25 in Kakuma refugee camp, Kenya. We developed a blended vocational skills course titled _Using online digital technologies to create change_ focused on digital skills and website development. 

Learners work on creating their own website project by the end of the course. We piloted this course with 25 learners from October 2022 and will finalise the materials based on their feedback early in 2023. The aim is for the course to be incorporated into the Amala Education’s High School Diploma programme. 

This work is generously funded by the Ezrah Charitable Trust.

## **Partnership with Pratham Education Foundation** 

We have been working with Pratham Education Foundation since 2018 to introduce coding to children in hard-to-reach, disadvantaged communities around India. We co-designed a Pratham–Code Club programme to provide young people in underserved communities with training and access to devices and learning resources. 

around the country, who will in turn reach 15,000 young learners. 

In 2022, we supported registration of 1689 Code Clubs across India through this programme, and trained 30 lead mentors, 300 community mentors, and 1000 youth volunteers. 

‘[We received an enthusiastic ] response from the children and youth. Whenever we asked them any questions on chat [in the online sessions], they were prompt in responding and asking questions. Within a day, they would conceptualise, create, and share their projects for feedback. Their creativity and ability to learn this new skill took us by surprise!’ 

The goal of the training is to build the young people’s programming confidence so that they can go on to teach children in their communities. The young people also receive training to use the PraDigi kit, an innovative, portable device for teaching children to code, developed by Pratham Education Foundation and based on the Raspberry Pi computer. 

We made adaptations to our learning resources and training content to make them relevant to the context of the learners, and we worked with volunteer translators to translate the materials into Hindi, Kannada, and Marathi. 

Using a train-the-trainer model, we are now scaling the programme with Pratham Education Foundation to train 3000 youth from underserved communities

## **Community story:** Jay teaches robotics in his local community 


Jay is from Preston, UK, and wants everyone to learn about programming. At a young age, Jay began to experiment with code to make his own games. He attended free local coding groups such as CoderDojo and soon started combining his interest in programming with robotics to build his own inventions. 

Digital making has helped Jay express himself creatively, test his skills, and make new friends, which is why he is motivated to help others learn about it too. In his local community, Jay has been teaching children, teenagers, and adults about coding and robotics for the last few years. He says, ‘When I go out and teach, I love it so much because it’s really accessible. It helps me build my confidence, it helps them to discover, to learn, to create. And it’s really fun.’ 

When he found out about Coolest Projects, Jay decided to channel his creativity into making something to exhibit there. He built a security alarm from low-cost, accessible materials, and he left Coolest Projects having made lots of new friends who were young digital makers just like himself.

## **Community story:** Sophie encourages learning through play at her Code Club 


A teacher for ten years, Sophie is always looking for new opportunities and ideas to inspire and encourage her learners. The school where she teaches in rural Yorkshire, UK, is very small. With only five teachers supporting the children, any new activity has to be carefully planned. Sophie was also slightly nervous about setting up a Code Club because she doesn’t have a computer science background, sharing that ‘there’s always one subject that you feel less confident in.’ 

Club has plenty of activities and resources for the children to learn to code with confidence — while having fun too. Sophie says: ‘I like the idea that the children can be imaginative: it’s play, but it’s learning at the same time. They might not even realise it.’ 

At Code Club, Sophie enables her learners to code animations, games, and stories, and to work as a team and build resilience. Sophie’s Code Club is increasing children’s confidence and through this, she has had a clear positive impact on the learners and on her school as a whole. 

Sophie started the Code Club off small, with only a few learners. But then she grew it quickly, and now half of the school’s learners aged 7 to 11 attend. Thanks to our digital making projects and coding challenges like Astro Pi Mission Zero, Sophie’s Code

## **Raspberry Pi Computing Education Research Centre** 


A joint initiative between the University of Cambridge and the Raspberry Pi Foundation 

Compared to subjects like mathematics, computing is a relatively new field. While there are enduring principles and concepts, it’s also a subject that’s continually evolving as people develop new technology. We don’t know enough about what works in computing education, and there isn’t enough investment in high-quality research; that’s why research and evidence has always been a priority for the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Through conducting original research, we hope to make a contribution to the field of computing education and, as an operating foundation working with tens of thousands of educators and millions of learners every year, we’re uniquely well-placed to translate that research into practice. 

In 2022: 

- We were able to offer studentships to two PhD students starting in October 2022 and January 2023 respectively. 

**•** We ran two projects relating to culturally relevant pedagogy: one investigating how culturally relevant pedagogy can be implemented in schools, developing a framework based on sociological research, and the other focused on culturally relevant computing resources for primary schools. Part of this work is generously funded by Cognizant. 

**•** We developed our understanding of the teaching and learning of AI through an analysis of resources, development of a conceptual framework, and a systematic literature review. The Foundation is using this research to underpin the Experience AI programme. 

The Raspberry Pi Computing Education Research Centre combines expertise from the Raspberry Pi Foundation and the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Cambridge to undertake rigorous original research, working directly with teachers and other educators to translate that research into practice and effect positive change in young peoples’ lives. The scope is computing education — the teaching and learning of computing, computer science, digital making, and wider digital skills — for school-aged young people in primary and secondary education, colleges, and non-formal settings. We are uniquely placed to focus on research that can be applied to practice, with a research team spanning the two organisations. 

- We published a systematic literature review of non-formal learning of computing. The Foundation is using the findings from the review to inform the design of its digital making projects. 

**•** We conducted a survey of computing teachers in the UK and Ireland, which we are using to better understand the experiences of educators in those countries. 

A highlight of 2022 was an in-person event with over 90 participants held at the University to formally launch the Research Centre, together with a dedicated website at computingeducationresearch.org. The Centre was officially opened by Professor Mark Guzdial of the University of Michigan.

## **Gender Balance in Computing** 

The largest-ever set of trials to identify ways to encourage more young women to study Computer Science 

Whilst the quantitative findings did not yield any statistically significant results, the qualitative data relating to the experiences of teachers and pupils on implementing the interventions was primarily positive. The quantitative findings support other research showing that gender balance in computing is a deeply structural problem that we need to address using a multi-faceted approach. The learning we are drawing from the research programme as a whole is that introducing a single intervention in the computing classroom is not enough to make a difference. 

Funded by England’s Department for Education, the Gender Balance in Computing research programme aimed to better understand some of the factors that could encourage girls to develop an interest in computing, and could increase the numbers of young women who choose to study Computer Science at GCSE and A level. 

Running from 2019 to 2022, the research programme was the largest-ever set of trials to date that focused on gender balance in computing. It involved seven studies in five research areas: pilot studies, quasiexperimental trials, and randomised controlled trials. The studies were led by us, and implemented in collaboration with Apps For Good, the WISE Campaign, and the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT). A separate team at BIT acted as the independent evaluators of the studies. In total we engaged more than 14,500 learners and 725 teachers in hundreds of primary and secondary schools in England. 


## **Interventions:** 

- **Teaching approach:** Trialling pair programming, peer instruction, and storytelling as approaches to teaching computing 

- **Belonging:** Encouraging a sense of belonging in the subject, including work with role models and involving parents and guardians 

- **Non-formal learning:** Making the link between non-formal activities and future opportunities in computing 

- **Relevance:** Supporting teachers to bring students’ interests and topics they care about into their teaching 

- **Subject choice and options materials:** Exploratory research into potential barriers to choosing to study computing further 

## **Computing education research seminars**

Through our computing education research seminar series, we provide a platform for academics and practitioners to share leading-edge research, and connect educators and researchers from all over the world. The seminars take place online and are free to attend. To make the speakers’ insights widely accessible, we share a recording and summary of each seminar, and we publish seminar proceedings with articles from speakers. 

participants, the facilitator, and moderator was great. The breakout group was another thing I enjoyed so much, learning from different backgrounds and nations. 

- Seminar participant 

In 2022, we completed a series of eight seminars about artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and data science education for school-aged children, run in partnership with The Alan Turing Institute. We followed this with a series on cross-disciplinary computing where we hosted researchers who work on the intersections and interactions of computing with all aspects of learning and life. Speakers in the series included Mark Guzdial (University of Michigan) and Conrad Wolfram (Wolfram Research). 

## IMPACT 

- Eight seminars in our 2021/22 series on AI and data science education with **490** attendees from **55** countries, in total **835** attendances 

- Publication of a volume of seminar proceedings based on the series about AI and data science education 

- Six seminars in our 2022 series on crossdisciplinary computing with **252** attendees from **30** countries, in total **394** attendances 

[The AI and data science education series] is the cusp of the next new, and very exciting, teaching and learning phenomenon. I look forward to seeing more research develop in this area.

## **Raspberry Pi hardware** 

## Raspberry Pi computers and microcontrollers are used in their millions in business, in education, and at home 

Raspberry Pi Ltd is the UK’s best selling computer company. Low-cost, high-quality, compact and efficient, Raspberry Pi products make computing accessible to people and businesses all over the world. Used everywhere from homes and schools to factories, call centres and hospitals, they give people access to technology for enterprise, education, entertainment, and creativity. 

part — whose businesses depend on the availability of our hardware: with careful planning and direct communication with end customers as well as our trusted approved resellers, we remained able to allocate stock to ensure these businesses could secure sufficient inventory to meet their needs. Happily, constraints around supply are easing, and we were pleased to end 2022 with a positive outlook for steadily improving availability. 

2022 saw increasing sales into industry, especially of our microcontroller chip, RP2040, and microcontroller board, Raspberry Pi Pico – both released the previous year in 2021. Sales of both products ramped up quickly, and we saw an overall increase in microcontroller unit sales of 83% in 2022 compared with 2021. For the first time, we began offering Raspberry Pi hardware for direct sale to businesses: business customers can now purchase RP2040 and Pico directly from Raspberry Pi Ltd via our new online platform, Raspberry Pi Direct, launched in January 2022. 

We saw makers and hobbyists use Raspberry Pi products to build everything from a rotary phone that lets you listen to oral history, to a Ceefax revival that attracted interest from national media, alongside an increasing number of research applications from field ecology to aerospace engineering and beyond. To support home users and individual makers, we launched a new section of our website, _For home_ , including a growing collection of tutorials aimed at helping both new and experienced users to get things done with Raspberry Pi. 

June saw the launch of Raspberry Pi Pico W, a Pico variant featuring a fully certified wireless module, providing a capable IoT platform at a price of just $6 US. We were excited, and delighted, to announce in November the first African-manufactured Raspberry Pi hardware: Raspberry Pi Pico for the African market is now made in Kenya, at Gearbox Europlacer in Nairobi. We continued to expand our activities in Africa in other ways, extending our networks of Raspberry Pi Approved Resellers and Design Partners on the continent. 

We relished the opportunity to meet customers around the UK in person when we took our hugely popular Raspberry Pi pop-up store on tour to Gateshead, Edinburgh, and London, where shoppers queued out of the door to buy computers, accessories, and more. 

In early December, we announced that the IQaudio family of hi-fi audio products, which we acquired in 2020, are now available as Raspberry Pi–branded boards. Raspberry Pi Audio Boards offer the great hi-fi–quality sound customers had learned to expect from IQaudio at the low prices they expect from us. These products are still made in the UK, now manufactured by Bedford-based Asteelflash. 

Across the global electronics sector, 2022 saw ongoing supply chain challenges for silicon chips as well as for other components. We had recognised in 2021 that we have many commercial customers — small and medium-sized companies, for the most

## **Principal risks and uncertainties** 

The Trustees are responsible for the management of risks within the Raspberry Pi Foundation Group. We have an established risk management framework that includes a risk appetite statement that articulates the Board’s appetite for risk across different categories. 

The Foundation has an overall risk register, which is regularly reviewed by management and by the Audit, Risk, and Investment Committee on a quarterly basis. Subsidiaries and individual programmes of activity also have their own risk registers. 

The principal risks and uncertainties identified include: 

- **Safeguarding:** The failure to prevent or respond adequately to a safeguarding incident. 

- **Income:** The failure to generate diverse, sustainable sources of income sufficient to fund our medium term plans. 

- **Talent:** The inability to attract and retain a diverse and talented team adversely impacts on our ability to deliver our mission. 

## **• Financial Risk Management, Objectives and** 

**Policies:** The charity aims to minimise financial risk including through the preparation of incoming resources and cash flow forecasts; regular monitoring of actual performance against these forecasts; and ensuring that adequate financing facilities are in place to meet the requirements of the business. 

Costs are carefully monitored by management on a regular basis to ensure that they remain within the constraints of the approved budget. The organisation re-forecasts its financial position periodically. 

The trading subsidiary uses various financial instruments such as trade debtors and trade creditors that arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to provide working capital for the trading operations. 

The primary risks arising from the group’s trading operations are currency, credit and component supply risk. Management reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised as: 

## **• Data protection and network security:** The 

mismanagement, misuse or loss of data, and/or a compromise to our network results in a loss of data and/or service. 

- **Business continuity:** The failure to plan for and/or manage significant business disruptions leads to loss of income, damage to our brand, or our ability to achieve impact. 

- **Expenditure:** The failure to effectively manage rising costs as a result of inflation affects long term sustainability and the ability to achieve desired impact. 

- **Currency Risk:** The group generates revenue and sources a significant proportion of its goods in foreign currency. The company holds bank accounts in foreign currency to help mitigate the company’s foreign exchange risk; and 

- **Credit Risk:** In order to manage credit risk, management sets limits for customers based on payment history. Credit limits are reviewed by management on a regular basis in conjunction with debt ageing and collection history. 

- **Component Supply Risk:** Production of Raspberry Pi products is dependent with multiple suppliers to reduce risk and has entered into long term agreements to reinforce the certainty of supply.

The Remuneration Committee reviews and advises the board on the Foundation’s arrangements for the pay and remuneration of its employees. It provides assurance to the board that such arrangements are effective, fair and responsible and compliant with applicable law, and it regularly reviews issues of diversity and equal pay in relation to pay and remuneration. 

## **Nominations Committee** 

The Nominations Committee develops and maintains formal, rigorous and transparent procedures for the appointment of members of the Foundation and trustees, directors and officers of the Foundation and its subsidiaries, and it regularly reviews issues of diversity in relation to appointments. 

Financial review | 59 



## **Audit, Risk and Investment Committee** 

The Audit, Risk and Investment Committee reviews and advises the board on the adequacy and effectiveness of the Foundation’s arrangements for accountability, financial controls and risk management, and investment. It recommends actions to ensure compliance with the law and good practice, and considers and advises the board on the provision of external audit and investment advisors. 

## **Members** 

Members of the Raspberry Pi Foundation are appointed by the trustees. Members are entitled to attend the Annual General Meeting, where they formally receive the Annual Report and Accounts, elect or re-elect trustees and appoint the charity’s auditors. 

## **Our community and stakeholders** 

We are part of a global community of young people, parents, educators, volunteers, makers, and businesses that share our mission and bring it to life through their actions. We make sure that we understand our users and communities, and we proactively seek out user and community feedback including from: 

- **Young people** who engage with our learning experiences and products. 

- **Researchers and policymakers** who are working on computing education and related topics. 

- **Teachers in schools and other educational settings** who are teaching a computer science curriculum or bringing computing and creating with digital technologies into other parts of the curriculum. 

## **Our employment practices** 

## **Dignity at work** 

We are committed to ensuring that all of our workplaces (in person and online) are safe and inclusive spaces where people from all backgrounds feel respected and valued, and able to contribute their best. 

We do not tolerate bullying or harassment. We have an Anti-Harassment, Bullying & Victimisation Policy which we regularly review and update. We continue to ensure regular communication of our policies and processes so that our people know how to report dignity at work issues through our Speaking Up (whistleblowing) policy which we updated in 2022. 

## **Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI)** 

We know that we are able to advance our mission more effectively when we build diverse teams of people with a wide range of skills, backgrounds, and perspectives; and create an inclusive environment and culture that gives colleagues a sense of belonging. 

In 2022 a staff-led equality, diversity and inclusion working group developed a range of recommendations to further improve our work on EDI; a number of recommendations have been approved and actioned during the period, including improvements to our recruitment processes, workforce diversity data, and other actions that reinforce the importance of EDI in everything that we do. 

- **Educators, volunteers, and parents** outside the formal education system who are running Code Clubs and CoderDojos, working in youth and community organisations, and supporting young people to learn independently. 

We also proactively seek feedback from other stakeholders including the Raspberry Pi Foundation team, supporters, donors, and suppliers.

## **Safeguarding** 

We believe that a child, young person, or vulnerable adult should never experience abuse of any kind. 

We have a responsibility to promote the welfare of all children, young people, and vulnerable adults, and to keep them safe. We are committed to following practices that protect them and we ensure that our safeguarding practice reflects statutory responsibilities, government guidance, and complies with best practice and regulatory requirements wherever we operate as a charity. This is set out in our safeguarding policy which is published on our website at www.raspberrypi.org/safeguarding. 

## **Gender pay reporting** 

We undertake gender pay analysis as part of our annual pay review. Following the 2022 Pay Review the Foundation had a gender pay gap for employees in the UK of 4.35% in favour of men (0.57% in favour of women in the 2021 Pay Review). This compares to a UK benchmark of 15.4% in favour of men. 

As the designer and manufacturer of the Raspberry Pi single-board computer, software, accessories and semiconductors, approximately half of Raspberry Pi Ltd employees are engineers engaged in the development of these products. In common with other companies in the sector these engineers are more highly paid than the average of the working population and are predominantly male. As a consequence, the gender pay gap of average salaries for Raspberry Pi Ltd is 52% (2021 48%). 

## **Our commitment to the environment** 

In line with the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting regulations (SECR), we have set out our energy use and associated carbon emissions in the table below. 

We continued to invest in measures to reduce our carbon emissions in 2022 in line with our commitment to achieving net zero. This included making adjustments to the heating system to better match working hours, installing LED lighting, switching to a green energy tariff and continuing to promote the Cycle to Work scheme. We saw an anticipated rebound in our emissions in 2022 following the easing of lockdown restrictions, however we remain on track against our net zero targets.

## **Plans for the future** 

We will continue to deliver on the long-term goals set out in the strategy for the period 2022–25: 

- To enable any school to teach students about computing and how to create with digital technologies, through providing the best possible curriculum, resources, and training for teachers. 

- To engage millions of young people in learning about computing and how to create with digital technologies outside of school, through online resources and apps, clubs, competitions, and partnerships with youth organisations. 

- To deepen our understanding of how young people learn about computing and how to create with digital technologies, and to use that knowledge to increase the impact of our work and advance the field of computing education.

## **Statement of Trustees’ responsibility** 

The Trustees (who are also directors of Raspberry Pi Foundation for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law, including ‘FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’). Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS 102); 

- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable group will continue in operation. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and 

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 confirm that: 

- so far as each Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware; and 

- the Trustees have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as Trustees in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charitable company’s auditor is aware of that information. 

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

The auditors, Grant Thornton UK LLP, will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006. 

This Trustees’ Report, incorporating the strategic report, was approved by the Trustees on 22 June 2023 and signed on their behalf by: 


Prof. R Plumbly-Clegg

## **Independent auditor’s report to the Members and Trustees of the Raspberry Pi Foundation** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Raspberry Pi Foundation (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 December 2022, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, the Company Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, the 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 charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2022 and of the group’s and the parent charitable company’s incoming resources and application of resources, including the group’s and the parent 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 and Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We have been appointed auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with those Acts. 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 and the parent 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 are responsible for concluding on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group’s and the parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the auditor’s opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group or parent charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern. 

In our evaluation of the trustees’ conclusions, we considered the inherent risks associated with the group’s and parent charitable company’s business model including effects arising from macro-economic uncertainties such as the global semiconductor shortage, war in Ukraine and the cost of living crisis, we assessed and challenged the reasonableness of estimates made by the trustees and the related disclosures and analysed how those risks might affect the group’s and parent charitable company’s financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period. 

64 | Raspberry Pi Foundation 



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 and 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. 

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. 

The responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the ‘Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements’ section of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Review and Accounts, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report 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. 

## **Opinion 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 Strategic Report and the Directors’ Report, prepared for the purpose of company law, included in the Trustees’ Annual Review and Accounts for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. 

- the Strategic Report and the Directors’ Report included in the Trustees’ Annual Review and Accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matter on which we are required to report under the Companies Act 2006** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors’ Report included in the Trustees’ Annual Review and Accounts. 

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

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate and sufficient accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the parent charitable company’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- 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 

Financial review | 65 



## **Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements** 

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement set out on page 33, 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 misstatements, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group’s and the parent 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 group or parent charitable company 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 noncompliance with laws and regulations. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. 

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the group and the parent company charity. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant: the Charities SORP, Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006 and we concluded that there are certain significant laws and regulations that may have an effect on the operational environment, including laws and regulations relating to employment matters and safeguarding 

- We obtained an understanding of how the group and the parent company charity complies with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries with management and those responsible for legal and compliance procedures, and we have corroborated our inquiries with our review of board and trustee minutes. 

- We enquired with management and those charged with governance whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and whether they had any knowledge of actual, suspected or alleged fraud. We corroborated our inquires with our review of legal and professional fees incurred during the year. 

- Management and those charged with governance have not noted any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud. 

- We assessed the susceptibility of the group and parent charitable company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: 

   - ⁃ identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud and the adequacy of procedures for authorisation of transactions and internal review procedures; 

   - ⁃ challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates; and 

   - ⁃ identifying and testing large and unusual journal entries. 

66 | Raspberry Pi Foundation 



- We completed audit procedures to conclude on the compliance of disclosures in the financial statements with applicable financial reporting requirements. 

- These audit procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not one resulting from error and detecting irregularities that result from fraud is inherently more difficult than detecting those that result from error, as fraud may involve collusion, deliberate concealment, forgery or intentional misrepresentations. Also, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. 

- Assessment of the appropriateness of the collective competence and capabilities of the engagement team included consideration of the engagement team’s understanding of, and practical experience with audit engagements of a similar nature and complexity through appropriate training and participation. 

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 and trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members and trustees 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 its members and trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

## **1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)   (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Raspberry Pi Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) and Balance Sheet consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings. The results of the subsidiaries are consolidated on a line by line basis. 

The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£). 

The individual accounts of Raspberry Pi Foundation have adopted the following disclosure exemption under FRS 102: 

- the requirement to present a statement of cash flows and related notes. 

## **1.2 Significant judgements and estimates** 

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include: 

upon the progress of the project and any service conditions that are required to be satisfied. 

An amount of £48,155 has been recognised in relation to donated rent, cloud services and legal services provided to Hello World Foundation. 

During 2020, a Long Term Incentive Plan for the employees of the trading subsidiary, Raspberry Pi Limited was approved and 13,077 B ordinary shares were issued and a further 3,512 B ordinary shares issued in 2021. Under the terms of the plan, the B ordinary shares will share in the proceeds payable in the event of a sale of the company. Therefore, no non-controlling interest has been recognised in relation to the Long Term Incentive Plan shares. 

## **1.3 Charity combinations** 

Assets and liabilities transferred into the control of the charity at nil or nominal consideration are in substance a gift. A gain is recognised to the extent the fair value of assets received exceeds the fair value of liabilities assumed. The gain is shown separately as a gift within income. 

## **1.4 Basis of consolidation** 

The financial statements consolidate the accounts of Raspberry Pi Foundation and all of its trading subsidiary undertakings (‘subsidiaries’) and charitable entities of which Raspberry Pi Foundation is the member. 

## **1.5 Company status** 

The company is a company limited by guarantee. The Trustees of the company, who are also members, are named on page 75. There are currently 10 Trustees (8 in 2021). In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company. 

Where funded projects remain in progress at the year end, the directors exercise judgement regarding the amount of income to be recognised based

## **1.6 Fund accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. An element of overhead costs is charged against the specific fund where appropriate. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated “to unrestricted funds”. 

## **1.7 Income** 

All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Product revenue is recognised when the trading subsidiary has transferred to the customer the significant risks and rewards of ownership, which is generally when the buyer has taken undisputed delivery of the goods. Royalty income is recognised when receivable, based on the sale of goods by third parties under terms of the royalty arrangements. 

A significant proportion of the trading subsidiary’s turnover arises from sales to and royalties from UK distributors. The distributors sell the trading subsidiary’s products to all major worldwide markets. 

During the year Raspberry Pi Limited qualified for the UK Taxation Research and Development Expenditure Credit (“RDEC”).   The RDEC is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities within Other Income in the period in which the Group has recognised the research and development expense. The RDEC receivable for the year is netted against any payments of corporation tax due relating to the year. 

Donated services are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in the accounts. 

## **1.8 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings. 

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the company and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

The charity considers that it has a single activity being the provision of educational programmes in the field of computers and computer science and all support costs arise in relation to this activity and are not further analysed.

## **1.9 Going concern** 

Raspberry Pi Foundation meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through the cash it holds. The company undertakes a regular process of reviewing forecasts and projections to ensure that it has adequate resources for its continued operation and can draw upon its significant investment portfolio to support its planned activities. The company also received additional investment of $5m (£4.2m) in March 2023, as set out in note 31. 

During 2022, Raspberry Pi Limited has continued to operate in the face of trading risks principally in respect of semiconductor and other component shortages and demand for its products. In 2022, it has done this while maintaining its investment program and paying dividends to its investors. Management continues to take appropriate action to monitor, identify, address and mitigate these risks and any other major uncertainties facing the business. 

The forecasts and projections of Raspberry Pi Foundation show that the organisation should be able to operate using the cash it currently holds together with the additional investment received post year end of £4.2m ($5m). Having considered these forecasts and projections and assessed a variety of downside scenarios, the Trustees have formed the view that Raspberry Pi Foundation will generate sufficient cash to meet its ongoing liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date on which the financial statements are signed and accordingly, the going concern basis has been adopted. 

## **1.11 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
Leasehold Property Straight line over life of<br>lease<br>Plant and machinery 3 years straight line<br>Furniture and fittings 3 years straight line<br>Office and computer  3 years straight line<br>equipment<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


## **1.12 Investments** 

Investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The Statement of Financial Activities includes the unrealised and realised net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year. 

## Subsidiary undertakings 

Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment. 

## **1.13 Stocks** 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving stocks. 

## **1.10 Intangible assets and amortisation** 

## **1.14 Interest receivable** 

Intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. 

Amortisation is charged so as to allocate the cost of intangibles less their residual values over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful life and amortisation rate used for intellectual property is 3 - 4 years. The estimated useful life and amortisation rate used for goodwill is 2 years. All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. 

76 | Raspberry Pi Foundation 



## **1.15 Taxation** 

The company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

The trading subsidiary may be subject to both current tax and deferred tax. 

Current tax is recognised for the amount of income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the current or past reporting periods using the tax rates and laws that that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. 

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date, except as otherwise indicated. 

Deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. If and when all conditions for retaining tax allowances for the cost of a fixed asset have been met, the deferred tax is reversed. 

Deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates and laws that that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. 

Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities and deferred tax assets within debtors. 

## **1.17 Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **1.18 Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the company has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **1.19 Operating leases** 

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 

The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to the expense recognised over the lease term on a straight line basis. 

## **1.20 Financial instruments** 

Financial assets measured at amortised cost comprise investments, cash, trade debtors and other debtors. Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost comprise trade creditors, other creditors, and accruals. 

## **1.21 Pensions** 

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year. 

## **1.16 Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid for goods or services not yet delivered net of any trade discounts due.

The main rate of UK corporation tax for the year is 19% effective since 1 April 2017. In the March 2021 Budget, it was announced that the UK corporation tax rate will increase to 25% from 1 April 2023. This was confirmed in the March 2023 Budget. This will have a consequential effect on the Company’s future tax charge and these changes were substantively enacted before the balance sheet date and have therefore been factored into the deferred tax calculations.

Amortisation of intangible fixed assets is included in trading expenditure. 

Intellectual Property is composed of payments made to third parties for the development and design of key components intended to be used in future Raspberry Pi products. In 2021, the Company entered into a four year licence with a term until March 2026. The first payment milestone of the licence agreement was made during the year with the remainder falling due in September 2023 and March 2025. The £4.5m ($5m) licence has been capitalised under Intellectual Property within Intangibles, and the amount still due is reflected within Long Term Liabilities and Other creditors. The full value of the licence rather than its discounted cashflow value has been capitalised due to the difference between the two values being immaterial. The licence is being amortised over its 4 year term. 

Also included within Intellectual Property is one individually material item which has a net book value of £4.5m (31 December 2021: £4.5m) in respect of outsourced costs incurred in the development of components complementary to the application processors of future single board computers. The development is not yet complete and therefore amortisation has not yet been charged. The amortisation period is expected to be six years.

In the year to which these financial statements relate, Raspberry Pi Mid Co Limited has made donations by way of gift aid to Raspberry Pi Foundation of £3m (2021 - £nil). This was the result of a dividend received from Raspberry Pi Limited in December 2021. A summary of Raspberry Pi Limited’s results is disclosed below. Audited accounts will be filed with the Registrar of Companies. The cost of the investment in the subsidiary is £1 (2021 - £1). 

In 2020, a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) was approved by the board of directors of Raspberry Pi Limited. In October 2020, 13,077 B ordinary shares were issued under this plan to certain employees; in December 2021, a further 3,512 B ordinary shares were issued to employees under this plan. 

Under the terms of the plan, the B ordinary shares will share in the proceeds payable in respect of an Exit of the Company above a minimum hurdle. An Exit is broadly defined in the Articles of Association as the sale of the Company or its listing upon a stock exchange. 

The B ordinary shares are held in trust by the Raspberry Pi (Trading) Employee Benefit Trust on behalf of employees. 

The unrestricted market value of the B ordinary shares issued in 2020 was determined by a specialist valuation company and deemed to be £1.10 per share. The unrestricted market value of the B ordinary shares issued in 2021 was determined by a specialist valuation company and deemed to be £5.50 per share.

A summary of the B ordinary shares is detailed below: 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>

In accordance with accounting standards, Raspberry Pi Limited is required to recognise an expense for the services received by a company in exchange for equity-based payment. For B ordinary shares issued under the LTIP in 2020, the assumption at that time was that an Exit process would happen 2 years from the date of issue and the Black Scholes model was used to value the compensation expense with the following inputs: 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
Interest rate: Volatility: Expected life of B ordinary shares:<br>-0.05% 49% 2 years<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


The charge for the year ended 31 December 2020 was £375,267 ($513,000). 

In 2021, management of Raspberry Pi Limited reassessed the timing of an Exit process. The compensation expense in 2021 for B ordinary shares issued during 2020 was revised to be calculated based on an expected Exit process happening 18 months after the date of issue. The compensation expense in 2021 for those B ordinary shares issued in 2021 was calculated based on an expected Exit process happening 4 months after the date of issue. The Black Scholes model was used to value the compensation expense for the 2021 issue of B ordinary shares with the following inputs: 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
Interest rate: Volatility: Expected life of B ordinary shares:<br>-0.05% 34% 4 months<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


The charge for the year ended 31 December 2021 was £873,858 ($1,204,000) which includes the additional charge for those B ordinary shares issued in 2020 following the reassessment by management of Raspberry Pi Limited of the date of the expected Exit process. 

In 2022, management reconsidered the expected timing of an Exit process. The compensation credit in 2022 for B ordinary shares issued during 2020 was revised to be calculated based on an expected Exit process happening almost 4 years after the date of issue. The compensation credit in 2022 for those B ordinary shares issued in 2021 was calculated based on an expected Exit process happening 31 months after the date of issue. The resultant credit for the year ended 31 December 2022 was £328,942 ($411,000) which is the result of the life of the B ordinary shares being extended.
