TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING
Integrate UK currently has a Board consisting of 6 Trustees who meet quarterly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. There have been additional risk management, finance, policy review and strategy meetings held as needed throughout the year. We also operate a system of sub-groups which focus upon specific areas of the organisation and report back to the Board.
RELATED PARTY RELATIONSHIPS
For full details of related party transactions and balances relevant to the accounting period, please see note 11, page 20 to these financial statements.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees are aware of their responsibilities to conduct a thorough risk assessment of the charity’s activities and have developed a suitable risk management policy. Risks are identified and controlled through a process of management oversight of financial, managerial and strategic issues and our risk register is continuously updated.
Risk management is considered at each quarterly board meeting, covering all the major risks to which the charity could be exposed. The Director, Board of Trustees and where appropriate, employees undertake an annual review of the systems, procedures and policies in place to manage those risks.
The Director has carried out a review of all forms of insurance this year to ensure that the cover provided is adequate for Integrate UK’s offices and equipment and the work carried out by the young people. This review will be revisited each year as the policies in place come up for renewal.
Disclosure and Barring Service ("DBS") checks are carried out on all staff, volunteers and Trustees who work with young people under our care. All staff and outreach workers receive Safeguarding training.
We have a register of safeguarding disclosures.
We also have a Declaration of Interests record which is kept updated.

THE AIMS OF INTEGRATE UK
Integrate UK is a youth led charity which aims to ensure that the young people who are a part of the organisation make the decisions about which projects they want to develop within the charity’s objects. The overwhelming majority of our activities are delivered by our young people who are engaged as volunteers or sessional outreach workers and peer trainers. They also write and perform songs and make films that accompany education resources about Violence and Abuse Against Women and Girls (VAWG), gender and racial inequalities, Islamophobia, racism and other challenging issues.
Using the lesson plans and videos they have developed, Integrate UK’s Outreach workers facilitate peer education sessions in schools across the country as well as to front line professionals. Outreach workers are paid, trained young people over sixteen. They also mentor and train newer members of Integrate UK as outreach workers to ensure that peer mentoring is delivered using a sustainable model.
We work with young people from different cultural and religious backgrounds to promote gender and racial equality and cross-cultural cohesion and to end all forms of violence and abuse against women and girls. We do this by facilitating peer education sessions and encouraging the young people to develop projects around issues relating to gender and racial inequality that they have identified as important to them based on their lived experience. This approach ensures that the work is relevant, empowering and is sustainable in the long term.
Our young people speak at conferences nationally and internationally, provide consultation and take part in debates and discussions about all forms of gender and racial inequality and VAWG. They are also actively involved in organising and hosting their own national conferences and events. This youth led model is effective in ensuring that the objectives of the charity (created with the young people) are met.
ACTIVITIES FOR ACHIEVING THE OBJECTIVES
-
Delivering workshops to engage young people in issues relating to gender and racial inequalities, dispelling misconceptions and empowering them to challenge stereotypes they might hold.
-
Writing and performing songs focusing upon topics they will be delivering at schools and conferences focussing on VAWG and gender and racial inequalities
-
Developing stories and scripts for films, acting, being involved in the production of films aimed at challenging gender and racial stereotyping and inequalities, using powerful media / social media to influence public opinion and address everyday racism and sexism . The resources encourage young people to identify similarities in terms of the manipulative methods used by perpetrators and to seek help if needed.
-
Investing in the skills and talents of young people and providing them with the confidence, training and resources to:
-
Attend and speak at national and international conferences and high profile events
-
Deliver peer education workshops to young people and teachers in schools all over the UK using the resources they have developed
-
Act as role models for other young people, for their peers and their communities
-
To represent Integrate UK and provide consultation to policy makers to meet our young people's’ aims

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
KEY FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Integrate UK’s work is split between its intensive work with long term service users and its national education and advocacy work. The two are interrelated as Integrate UK young people identify the issues that they consider to be a priority for themselves and their peers, develop educational resources and access training and lead the work themselves. Our young people work with us for a year or more. In addition to the creative, educational and advocacy projects, they have the opportunity to gain work experience, to join our youth board, access training, become Junior Trustees and later, peer mentors and Outreach Workers.
Demographics:
Minoritised and / or Muslim 143 White British 73 White other 9
Young women 150 Young men 66 Gender defined differently 9
Over the course of the year, our young activists explored a range of issues relating to gender and racial inequalities and discussed the wider implications. During Equalities Council sessions, they identified areas of policy and practice they felt needed addressing and proposed solutions to challenges they and their peers were facing. These included:
-Institutional and structural racism
-Underachievement and over representation of boys of colour in the youth justice system (including many discussions about the causes)
-Colourism, micro-aggressions and lack of representation in the curriculum
-Mental health and the challenges accessing support
-
-Honour based abuse and control
-
-Toxic relationships and coercive control

They continue to deliver our project in participating schools on issues relating to gender and racial equality.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
GOING CONCERN
In view of grants recently received and applications pending outcome, the Trustees are confident that the charity is secure for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.
RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees have developed a reserves policy based upon continuing the organisation's activities for 8 weeks. The unrestricted undesignated funds, not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (the free reserves) held by the charity, should be able to cover at least two months core operating costs.

Trustees are clear that these benefits are for a wide cross-section of the public;

Trustees are clear that those benefits relate to our aims.
-
Trustees are clear that those benefits outweigh any potential risks.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
Since the lifting of restrictions relating to the pandemic, we have continued to deliver face to face and to offer all the pre-pandemic opportunities to our service users. Over the next two years, Integrate UK’s staff and trustees will continue to follow our three-year strategic and business plan which includes a level of manageable growth. According to the findings of our questionnaires and surveys and from discussions with our youth board, we will be increasing our work with young men and engaging them in all aspects of the organisation. We also aim to increase staffing so we can respond to the continued increase in demand for our services and to ensure the workload is sustainable.
We will continue our work aimed at achieving gender and racial equality for all young people. For the next financial year, our young people will be developing two media resources and lesson plans, one of which will focus on racism and the other on coercive control and toxic relationships.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

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

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF INTEGRATE UK (THE ‘CHARITY’)
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
The charity’s trustees 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 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Charities Act’) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An 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 you as 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’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
As the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of MAAT.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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.
The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charitable company is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves. There are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102 and has therefore taken the advantage of the disclosure exemption available to it in relation to presentation of a cash flow statement.
Change in basis of accounting or to previous accounts
There has been no change to the accounting policies (valuation rules and method of accounting) since last year and no changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.

| Volunteer help | These are only included in income (with an equivalent amount in expenditure) |
|---|---|
| where the benefit to the Charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and | |
| material. | |
| Expenditure | |
| Recognition of expenditure | Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes any VAT |
| which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to | |
| which it relates. | |
| Expenditure on raising funds | These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, |
| fundraising trading costs and investment management costs. | |
| Expenditure on charitable activities | These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its |
| activities and services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of | |
| grants and governance costs. | |
| Governance costs | These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and |
| statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent | |
| examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, | |
| together with a share of other administration costs. | |
| Other expenditure | These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity |
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Equipment 25% reducing balance
Individual items costing less than £500 are not treated as fixed assets
Trade and other debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities.

Trade and other creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity 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.
Financial Instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
Pensions costs
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charitable company in an independently administered fund. Pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the charitable company during the year.
