Responsibilities Company Law requires the directors to prepare finanaal statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and apFdication of resources, induding income and expenditure for the financial year. In preparing those financial siatements. the directors are required to follow best Practi￿ and: selett suitable accounting poliaes afKI apply them consistentjy; observe the methods and principle5 in the Charities SORP (FRS 102); GOODWEAVE UK Page4of15 Financial Ststcments 2021

GOODWEAVE UK (A Company Limited by Guarantee) DIREcfoRS' REpoirr (continued) • make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; prepare the accounts on the going concern bass unless It Is inappropriak to p￿Urne that the charity will continue in operdtion. The trustees are responsible for keepiThJ proper accounting rcfords whith disdose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2(#)6. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hen￿ for tsking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities. Members of the Management Committee Members of the Management Committee, who a￿ Directors for the purpose of company law, who served during the financial year and up to the date of this rep)rt are set out on page 3. The Directors are selected by the Board in the light of thor knowledge and experÈence of the issues on which Goodweave UK works. In accordan￿ company law, as the companfs directors, we certify that: so far as we are aware, there is no relevant audtt information of whith the company5 independent examiner is unaware; and as the directors of the companyi we have taken all steps that ought to have taken in order to make ourselves aware of any ￿leVant audit inforniation and to establish that the companvs independent examiner is aware of that informati¢Jn. The Charities Attivities and Achievements In 2021 marketing for Goodweave UK continued to be managed by GIVI, employing a part-time UK-based consultant to handle regular contscts with the li￿nSee5 in the UK. In 2021 the totsl UK li￿nce fees were £70,896 of vthich £40,510 of licen￿ fees were earned for education and rehabilitation work wÉth children and their families by our partr)ers in the carpet- producing areas of India and Nepal. This was an increase of 471% over 2020, mainly because of the gradual move out of I(￿kdOWn in 2021. Goodweave signed four ne4V carpet li￿nseeS in the UK in 2021, but this was offset by the temiination of four small li￿nSeeS. To date, GWI and tts associates have rescued more than 8950 children, supported education for 44,IXJO children, and now work5 with more than 140 imFM)rters worfdwide to monitrjr their supply chains. 99,000 adults worked on site5 li￿nSed and inspected by Gc(*Meave Intemational in India, and Nepal in 2021 and mre than 10,(MX) inspections We￿ carried out. Activitie5 in 2021 continued to be aff&ted by the Covid 19 pandemic. Almost all licensees stopped activity in Q2 2020 and only slowly reopened in 2021. Inspections in India and Nepal restarted in Q3 2020 but in 2021 th￿e were still only possible by intemevtelephone and other remote working methods. This rneant that it was not possible to fvlly inspect licensees and full annual inspections could not be carried out. There was also a signifiGint delay in accrediting new li￿nSee5. It is hoped that the full inspection system will be in operation by the second quarter of 2022. PJge5of 15 FinanGial Statements 2021

GOODWEAVE UK (A Company Limited by Guarantee) DIRECTORS. REPORT (continued) In 202012021 GWI raised more than £275,(KIO for COVID relief, the majority of which was spent on critical food relief for vulnerable worers and families in India, Nepal and Bangladesh. Food reached 114,000 people and we also distributed PPE to licensee supply chains, helped infomal, migrant workers Secu￿ bank accounts in order to ￿e1ve government aid, established e-leaming opportLtnities for children in our Child Friendly CINnmunities in India and undeThvrote COVID- protrKols at our home for rescued children in Nepal, including paying for testing and PPE and establishing separate Spa￿ for newly rexued children. Financial Review The Direttors of Goodweave UK rerrf)rt a net surplus of £2.295 for the period under revsew. At the year-end there was a totsl ￿1ve of £11,585; made up of £10,944 of unrestricted funds and £641 of restrirted fvnds. Details of the major ttems on the balance sh￿t can be found in the notes to the accounts. The fluctuations in debtors and creditor5 year on year are simply the r￿Ult of the timing of receipts and payments around the year end. Reserves and Risk Managemert The trustees have agreed that G(￿Weave UK can continue its operations and cary out its charitsble attivities with minimal reseNes and as a result the reseNes will be kept at a basic level during 2022. The trustees intend to all(Kate some of the existing unrestrirted reserves as scM)n as GWI operations retum to nornial. The trust￿ are confident tha¢ because of the current methods of operation, this policy d￿5 not create any signfficant risk for the tharity or its beneficiaries. The trustees regularly examine the major risks that the charity faces and seeks to control these risks to mitigate any impatt they may h&rfe on the tharity. These figures are for 2021 and were still affected by the impatt of Covid 19 on the UK and intemational economy. All large outstanding li￿nce fees for 2021 have been paid and most licens￿ restsrted operations in 2021. In practice the fees are simply passed through the GWUK accounts and so any105s to GWUK debtors will be offset by the same reduction in creditOT5. Public Benefft Siatement Directors of a charity have a duty to reFKrt in their annual rep￿ on their charivs public benefit. The Direciors have concluded that the section above on"Activities and Achievements" demonstrate5 that GOc￿lWeave UK'S work benefft5 a wide ronge of people and organisations in both the UK and South Asia and a5 a resu￿. the aims of the charity continue to be charitable; the benefits are for the public. are not unreasonably rericted in any way and certainly not by abilty to pay and; there is no detriment or harm arising from the aims or acbvitie5.

These financial ststements have been prepared in accordan￿ wtth the Charities 9)RP (FRS 102) under the historical cost convention and the accountiThJ poliae5 set crtjt therein. This report is made solely to the chaiit¢s trustees, as a l)cKty. in accordance with Section 43 of the charikn.es Att 1993 and regulations made under section 44 of that Att. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charivs trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the extent pemiitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the d)aritable company and its trustees as a body, ft)r my audit worK for this retx)rL or for the opinions I have fomied. Respectlve responsibilities of directors and indepwdent examiner As described on page 4 the companvs directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial ststements in accordan￿ with applicable law and United ￿ngdoM accounting stsndards. My responsibility is to examine the financial statements in accordan￿ with relevant legal and regulatory requirements and United ￿ngdorn Standards. I report to you my opinion as to vthether the finanaal slatements give a true and fair view and are propedy prepared in accordance with Companie5 Att 2006. 1 also rewrt to you rf, in my opinion, the Report of the Directors is not consistent with the financial statements, if the company has not kept proper accounting records, if I have not ￿e[Ved all the information and explanations I require for the audit, or if infornation specified by law regarding directors, remunerations with the company is not disclosed. I read the Report of the Dirertors and congder the implications for my report, tf I become aware of any apparent misstatement within IL Basis of Opinion My work was conducted in accordance wtth the general directions given by the Charity Commission.

It also indudes an assessment of the significant ethmates and judgements made by the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the companvs arcumstsnces, consistenty applied and adequately disdosed. I planned and performed the examination so as to obtsin all the infomiation and explanation5 which I considered necessary in order to promde me wtth sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularÉty or error. In fomiing my opinion. l also evaluated adequately the presentstion of infomation in the financial statements. Oplnlon In my opinion the finanaal statements give a tnje and fair view of the companvs affairs as at 31st December 2021 and of the defiat of incoming resources over resources expended for the year then ended and have been properly prepared in accordance wtth the Companys Act 2006 and principles of the Charitie5 SORP (FRS 102).
