Our ESCR are our rights of everyday life. This means a decent job and home, enough to 881, clothes lo waar, a
healthy environment. the chan¢e to lèarn, and a safety net when we most need it.
Our goal is for ESCR lo be incorporated into domestic law, and for the UK Govgmmenl and public authorities to be
effectively held to account in relation to their hurnan rights obligallons. If we are successful, these rights will be
better respeded, protected and fulfilled, and everyone will be gu8r8nleed the basic requirements of a decgnt life in

There is no doubl wè conb'nue to live and work in challenging limes. with an ongoing cosl-of-llvlng crisis, a UK
political environment hostile ID rights, and access lo rights being significantly undermined and facing further threats.
People are suffering, and those who already face the greatest barriers are being harmed the most. A wide range of
civil society organisations ICSOSI are spending significant lime keeping track of. and responding lo this context,
which has a huge impact on their CaPa￿ty lo engage in proacuve carnpaigns or activities.
But th&re are positive signs.
After years of our eampaigning, we have been pleased lo see the Labour Paty make commitments to S1 of the
Equality Act, 'champion international law and universal human rights al home and abroad, and a host of other draft
policies, which, if they were elected and enacted. could tske great strides towards rnaknng our everyday rights a
reality. There is increasing interest by politicians in ESCR, as levels Df povety, destilulion, and inequality continue
to rise. and they look for answers. In England, there is growing interest from local and regional authorities in tsking a
righls-based approach. with many voluntarily adopting Sl.

TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Progr8ss has begun in the devolved natSons'. the Scottish Government has bggun developing a Human Rights
Bill that would incorporate ICESCR into Scots law and in Wales, a Welsh Human Rights Bill is under consideration,
and children's rights are already being enshrined in Welsh Saw.
There is also increasing ewdence that ESCR are a popular choice. 2023 polling carried out by Opinium showed
that ESCR are overwhelmingly popular with the UK public. Working closely with us, many CSOS are increasingly
taking on ESCR as part of their core work, and wo continue lo be inspired by the power and confidence that people
and communities have when thay come together and stand up for thèir everyday rights.
We believe the tide is turning on ESCR as rnore and more of us re¢ognise the need for pemianènt, lasting solutions
to povety and inequality.
Our activities
The activities of the charity described below are for th8 public benefit and the Trust8es have given due
Considtsralion to the Charity Commission's published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the
Charities Act 2011.
Key actsvities of the year have included..
We continued to act as a thought leader and advocate for ESCR. undertaking specl81ist monitoring, research,
campaigns, advocacy, and communications, so the UK GDvemmenl and public authorities are more effectively held
to account on their existing ESCR obligations. We have also continued lo advocate for ESCR to be effectively
incorporated into domestic law across the UK.
We continued as membors of several civil society coalitions and lo convene a number of others.
In our role as co-secr8tariat of the All-Party Partiam8ntary Group IAPPGI on No Recourse to Publlc Funds (NRPFI,
we supported the APPG'S AGM in May 2023, and 'Domestic abLJSè & NRPF.. how can we increase protections for
migrant women?, event in June 2023. Wè stepped down from our co-s8¢retsriat role in January 2024.
We contributed our trxpertise to coalitions such as the Save our Human Rights Act coalition, the End Child Poverty
coalition, the In&qualilies in Health Allianc8 IIHA} and Equally Ours. We continued our work on the implications of
the UK'S from the EU on human rights, as part of the Civil Society Alliance (previously the Brexit Civil Society
Alliance).
In November 2023, we launched a naw ESCR UK wide ne￿Ork for CSOS and others interested in working on
positive change in ESCR. We chair this ne￿ork, which already has over 100 memb8rs across the UK. The
network has regular mè8ting5, fortnighlly mailings and works on joint advocacy activities focused on increasing the
scrutiny of the UK Govemmenl and public authorities in r&lation to ESCR.
We continue to leam the huge value of, and resource involved in working in partnership and coalition. We know we
can only achieve our outcomes by working together with many others across the UK. This has also helped remind
us that the main lenels of our Stralegy 2022-5
our focus on ESCR thought leadership, convening, capacity
building and advoc8cy- remain centrally important. We have also leamt the importance of strategic planning a¢r05S
the sector on ESCR.
We have continued to expand and develop our work w((h CSOS. to support the lo have increased understsndlng, be
more confident and have more capacity to use ESCR as a tool for changg.

In this period, actiwties included development and delivery ofr.
43 ESCR training events (online and offline), with 430 CSO attende&s.In feedback collected, 90Q/ts felt that
attending the events had increased their ESCR knowledge and 890/0 fell more confident using ESCR.
many bespoke engagements with CSOS, supporting them lo use ESCR in their own campaigns. For
8X8mple, this has included continuing as a partner in the Growing Rights Instead of Poverty Partnership.
whlch aims to bring lived and learnt experience together to build connections b@￿&&n poverty and human
rights.
new resources and loolkils for CSOS. ThSs included th8 completion and roll out of a new card game
'Human Rights_. Not a Game,, for people to explore why human rights matter in everyday life and think
about how rights Can help make so¢lal change. Since its launch in October 2023, over 100 comrnunity
aclivisls have played the game. Players have used the game in their own community settings, and
feedback has been ovemhelmingly positive, with one group saying, 'I've n&v8r seen anything like it,.
Groups have reported that the game has helped them see the discrimination and stigma they aro facing in
different ways- that they are the result of structural events and for￿S, thèy are rights that ar8 not being
upheld, Ihal violations particulariy imp8Ct people who might already be marginalised.
a new programme in London. In July 2023, we launched and started delivery of a major new programme
working with the British Institute of Human Rights to SUPPOrt London based CSOS lo use human rights-
based approaches to tackle dis¢rimination and disadvantage facing the communities they serve. This
programme has involved engagement with over 60 London CSOS to raise awareness of human rights as
social justice tool for community action, training sessions and the development of new resour￿S to sijpport
their understanding of ESCR. With our new pll Human Rights Educator, we developed 3 videos.. What are

including 1 on the evidence of the human rfghts realities of people living in London. Feedback from the
programme's training sessions has been overwhelmingly posltSve', respondents rated our sessions as 4.915,
Itn ali staung they eniDyed"th& session and would recommend it. 89 % saw themselves using hLJman rights
in their work to makg positive change, and every attendèe said that after attending the workshop, they
would be more likely lo lake action to uphold people's human rfghts.
We continue lo leam about the benefit of bringing people, cornmunities and CSOS together, to voice concerns and
views Df social injustice. leam and build solidarity, think about how ESCR can add lo their work, and help them work
towards positive social change. We have also learnt that this work takes time, and the process is as important as
any outputs. For example, the human rights card game look almost 2 years to create, as it was developed al the
pace of the Community Researchers and involved their own development and realisations as activists working on
ESCR. This learning has helped us think about how wg approach and plan our future work in communities and with
CSOS.
We have continued lo work hard lo increase the SCTUtiny of th8 UK Government and public authorities in regard to
ESCR.
This has included submission of specialist evidgnce to 9 UK govemment and UN inquiries. For example, this
included 6 months. work on the Human Rights Bill (Scollandl consultation: encouraging and supporting CSOS
across the UK to ￿spond, submitting our own evidence, and spotlighting Scotland's progress. Our eviden￿ was
cited several times in the consulialion response. as it has been with many other inquiry reports.
For example, in August 2023, we Cited the impact of Br&xit in our evidence lo the UN Committee on the FOghts of
Persons with Dlsabllilies IUNCRPDI. In our submission we showed that th8 way in which the UK Government has
chosen to leave the European Union has had huge implications for the rights of disabled people in the UK, including
in relation to work and employment. The Committee's final report, published in March 2024 picked up on our
eviden￿ and commented on the impact of Brexit and Covid-19 on the loss of funding for community and
employment programmes that supported disabled people.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
In Soplember 2023, wa wmpleted a major research project and report '1 felt so stuck,. in partnership with Human
Rights Watch, on asylum accommodation in the UK. We followed this by developing an associated toolkit and an
online training session lo help CSOS use the report in their own work, with supporbng communications. We also
published 53 blogs and 5 reports relating lo our scrutiny on ESCR during this period.
These actiwties hav8 resulted in increased scrutiny of the UK Govemment and public authorilios wth for example,
many issues raised in our evidence to the UNCPD being picked up and highlighted in the report, OLJr tsviden￿ being
cited in reports by the UK Work and Pensions Committèe and the UK Joint Committee on Human Rights on benefit
levels and the Safety of Rwanda Bill raspeclively, among others.
In addition to th8 8Ctwilies mentioned above, we have continued lo work with colleagues across Wale5, Scotland,
and Northem Ireland lo support progr@ss towards MainSt￿aMIng ESCR across devolved governments and public
authorities. This has included speaking al several events, supporting.. work on the Scottish Govemmenl's plans lo
incorporate ICESCR into Scots law. the campaign lo incorporate the right to housing into Welsh law, and colleagues
in Northem Ireland, following the retum of Slormont and campaigns for everyday rights to be included in the
priorities for a restored Northern Ir61and Assembly. This work with devolved governments and jurisdictions has
been greatly enhanced wth our creation and chairing of the UK ESCR Network.
On a local gov8mmenl level, we continued our work to Campaign for the ènactrnent of S1 of th8 Equality Act. This
included collecting practical examplas of successful implemenlalion of the duty and publishing a report in July 2023
to support local authorities and public bodies to voluntarily adopt the duty and ¢xp8nd the reach and impact of the
duty for those who have already adopted it. We have accomp8nied this work with blogs, an open onlin8 training
strssion and a presenlatlon at a major conference in Manchester in March 2024. We are a rnember of the national
Socio-economic Advisory Panel, and the 1 for Equality campaign group, convened by the Equality Trust. With our
support. 1 in 7 local authorities in England have now voluntari￿Y enacted the duty - this was evidonced a report
produced by our partner, Greater Manchester Povety A¢lion.
In November 2023. we launched a major prograrnrne focused on carnpaigning for ESCR to be incortx)rat8d into UK
domestic law- the everyday rights conversation. The airn of this programrne is to gather people together to discuss
th8 issue and develop ideas on the practicalities of how this can be achieved a¢ross the UK
in order to draft
proposals al the end of 2024. The foundation of this programme Is our 5 prin¢iples for incorporation, whlch we
developed during 2023. These 5 principles are.. Rights knowledge, Rights frameworks, Rights resourcing, Rights
8ccounlability, and Rights enjoyment. In this period, the èveryday rights conversation has involved an online
introductory session and online discussion sessions on rights knowledge and rights frameworks. with 98 people
attending.
We continue to collect feedback from participants in these sessions, which has been really positive e.g.
'Understanding how better knowI￿ge of ESCRS among the civil society can pave the way to campaigning and
implementation has given me the confidence lo share the message and edu¢ale the public while campaigning for
human rights at a local level..
During 2023. a major project for us was the development and delivery Df a major conference on ESCR in
W&stminsler in November. Five years on from the then UN Special Rapporteur Philip Alslon's visit to the UK, our
CDnfer8nce was attended by over 150 delegates who heard from major speakers on the stsle of povety, inequality
ancl human rights in th8 UK, the negative consequences of ignorfng our everyday rights and the major role these
rights can play in creating a fairer and rnore just society for all.
Delègal&s heard evidence that povety and inequality remain persistsnl in the UK, and for some il has got a lot
worse, Ih8t UK Govi and public authorities have a duty ID uphold existing human rights obligations and are failing.
and it is time for us lo bring our everyday rights
like housing. healthcare, and education - into our dom&stiG law
across the UK.

Conferen￿ had put ESCR into the spotlight, and centre stage.
During 2023. wè also developed our partnership with the Institute for Voluntsry Action Research lo strengthen our
approach to monitoring, evaluab'on, and l&aming. As part of this, we gathered and analyséd feedback from 50 civil
society activists and organisalions, on the extent to which we are mèèting our goals, and published our findings in a
new report'using everyday rights as a tool for change= what we heard from civil society organisations, in November
2023. This report evidenced that 92 /0 of organisalions that Just Fair had worked with felt their inler8cb'ons with
Just Fair'had helped give Ihern a greater understanding of ESCR,.
We have also worked on our communications, cornmissioning Equally Ours strategic communicatSons team lo work
with us lo develop c>ur 'slralegic communications, messaging framework, lo ¢ommunicate ESCR more easily and
effectively to all Dur audiences. We have since startèd using the term 'everyday rights, to describe ESCR, a term
warmly welcomed and endorsed by Philip Alston al our November 2023 conferen￿.
We are the UK NGO rep￿sentatIVe on the Intemational ESCR-Net partnership and have increasod our support
the new generation of ESCR activists by a se¢uring partnerships with SOAS, 8mploying paid student intems for
dedlcaled projects. Wg have also continued to manage students in partnership under the Whitè Rose Doctoral

and cilizenshSp.
In August 2023, we were awarded special ¢onsullalive status with the Untted Nations Economic and Soclal Counctl.
This allDWS us lo participate in the UN human rights monitoring system more fully Ifor example by organising side
events, attending, and observing prO￿edingS, submitting written statements, and making oral interventions). The
purpose of Consultativo slalus is to enable th8 Council or one of its bodies lo secure expert infomiation or advi
from organisations having special competence.
In September 2023, after a period of development, we were really pleased to estsblish our new Lived Experience
Advisory Board which is alr88dy plawng a key role in deciding what our organisalional priorities. and work should
be. This Board comprises people with lived experience of inequalty and injustice and has stsrted work with the Just
Fair team developing the everyday rights conversation programme.
There are no uncertainties about the ability of the charity to continue as a going concem.
Flnanelal revlew and r•s•rves policy
In this period, we operated with a planned and well manag8d budget deficit again Sn 2023124 made possible by the
surplusas 8chieved in previous periods. The Trustees are al80 pleased to report that followng the balance sheet
dale additlonal unrestrict8d funding was secured for 2024125.
The Trustees keep the reserves policy under r8view and implernenled a new poll¢y during the period to ensure it is
appropriate to the planned activities and the risks the charity faces. The current strong balance sheet wth
signifi¢anl income received in advance together with a good relationship with the key funders means that the Charity
is well placed lo continue with the plans outlined above. For this financial year the reserves policy detemiin&s that
the minimum level of a￿ptable resorves is the midpoint of..
20% of annual costs for the preceding financial year,. and
A lump sum figure of £10,000 plus the estimated costs of winding up of Just Fair assuming statutory
redundancy pay for all employees.
The policy was r&vised in March 2024 {and agreed in April 20241- Th8 updated policy determines that the minirnum
acceptable level of reserves is simply equal lo 200/0 of the annual ¢osls for the preceding financial year.
The organisation implements ils financial policies and procedures designed to mitigate, to the extent possible, the
risks of financial failure and exposure to accidantsl or intentional actions that could potentially damag8 the financial
good standing of the organisation. The Tru51ees review the organisalion's policies and procedures on an annual
basis lo ensure that policies and procedures remain appropriate and proportionate.
