1. Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 30 September 2010 and entered on the Register of Charities by the Charity Commission on 20 October 2011. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association that established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.
The Articles of Association were amended by resolution to expand the organisation’s charitable objectives, ahead of registration with the Charity Commission.
In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.
The members of the company are Robert Edwards, John Mark Nunn and Clare Tanton.
Trustees
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles.
Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, at the third and every other Annual General Meeting the directors shall retire from office. Retiring directors are eligible for reelection.
All the trustees appointed are familiar with the work of ITFL. However, they and any new trustees are encouraged to ask questions to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates. Trustees are also provided with:
-
A summary of key responsibilities of a trustee and a director
-
Links to more detailed background information on trustee and director duties/responsibilities on the Charity Commission site
-
A copy of the Governing Document of the charity
-
• A copy of the latest financial statements.
All trustees give their time voluntarily or on a pro bono basis. The trustees have not received any remuneration for any services or the reimbursement of any reasonable expenses during the period.
Management
The day-to-day management of the charity is conducted by the Chief Operating Officer John Mark Nunn and Chair of Trustees Charlotte Walker, with assistance from other members of a pro bono technical team and the Trustees. All major strategic decisions and large expenditures are referred to the Trustees for approval.
Operational structure
Trustee meetings are convened as required.
Related parties
ITFL has not entered into any related party transactions in the year.
ITFL owns the shares in its wholly owned subsidiary, In Tune For Life (Trading) Ltd, which has remained dormant since incorporation and during this period.
Other governance issues
There is a child protection policy in place whereby criminal records bureau checks are required prior to commencement with any work with children.
Currently, as the trustees and the management committee are not working with children, DBS checks have not been required. However, this is monitored continuously.
2. Objectives and activities
Objectives
The Charity’s objects (the Objects) are specifically restricted to the following:
-
(1) To preserve and protect good health by the provision of information about issues surrounding various health risks through music, animation, film and other media.
-
(2) The relief of poverty in particular but not exclusively by:
-
(a) the provision of financial assistance, technical assistance or business advice or consultancy in order to provide training and employment opportunities for unemployed people in cases of financial or other charitable need through help (i) in setting up their own business, or (ii) to existing businesses; and
(b) the creation of training and employment opportunities by the provision of recording facilities, workspace, buildings, and/or land for use on favourable terms to assist in relieving their need.
Ensuring our work delivers our objectives
We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to target groups of beneficiaries. The review also helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes. Reference is made to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
Focus of work
Our main objectives for the year were:
-
Continued rollout of STOP-TB funded new material to supplement and increase coverage of existing resources developed for use in TB health care settings. This has include developing new language versions of the guidance.
-
Work with UCL on the RID-TB project to generate new language versions of their TB resources for immigrant and diaspora communities in the UK.
-
The main project – continuation of a major new partnership (starting work in August September 2021) with Baylor University’s Tingathe project in Malawi, funded by the US Agency for International Development, to create a series of health animations for HIV patients and community health workers in Malawi over the coming years. Production work began this year.
-
• Pursuing further work, partnership and grant opportunities.
3. Achievements and performance
As well as producing a number of new language adaptations of various pre-exiting projects related to tuberculosis, in this year ITFL’s main focus was commencing work on the new partnership with the Baylor University Tingathe project in Malawi. As reported last year, having worked previously with Baylor, ITFL was asked to contribute to a grant proposal for USAID funding to commence on a multiyear project slated to begin in August 2021. This project began on time and the first full financial quarter under the new grant agreement was October-December 2021. Detailed information on the achievements of this project, outlining granular progress in ITFL’s production schedules, can be found on a dedicated microsite here:
- https://sites.google.com/itfl.org/baylor core/updates
This project is expected to take up the majority of ITFL’s capacity for the next 2-3 years. It also resulted in an upgrade of ITFL’s operating infrastructure, with the establishment of shared online workspaces and a new accounting system.
In the meantime, as ever, the organisation continues to implement efforts to build and nurture new technical partnerships and seek out new project funding opportunities from a wider range of donors. We also expect to receive continued requests for updates and language adaptations of existing projects as these are implemented and improved.
4. Financial review
Total receipts of unrestricted funds were £61,287 in the year ended 31 March 2022. Income is detailed in the financial statements.
Our main source of funds in the period were from grants and project funding for the animation projects listed above. Our annual charitable bike ride (the “MIEW ride”) was suspended in autumn 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Even where funds are not forthcoming, ITFL remains in a stable financial position due to the modest financial cushion built up over past years, the lack of overheads not related to projects (and therefore accounted for in project funding), and the work provided by ITFL team members on a volunteer and pro bono basis. This keeps the costs of running ITFL to a minimum.
ITFL does not hold any material investments.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of ITFL to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (where possible), to ensure it can meet its objectives and obligations. In particular:
-
Unforeseen emergency or other unexpected need for funds, e.g. an unexpected large repair bill, emergency repatriation of overseas staff, or 'seed-funding' for an urgent project
-
Covering unforeseen day-to-day operational costs, where costs are incurred where services required can not be provided on a volunteer or pro bono basis.
Whilst other needs for funds could arise, due to the way ITFL operates, by applying for grants and services provided by the ITFL team members on a volunteer and pro bono basis, the need to hold significant reserves should not arise as ITFL can operate with minimum reserves where required.
The Trustees do not consider a target level of reserves is required but will review the level of reserves on a periodic basis.
At the year-end there were unrestricted funds of £19,927 (and restricted funds of £8,881) that are held to meet any unforeseen expenditure that may occur. We aim to increase this balance during the year, ahead of the identification of projects or charitable initiatives to invest in.
Funds held as Custodian Trustee
Neither the charity nor its trustees are acting as custodian trustees.
5. Future plans
The Charity plans to continue the activities outlined previously. In particular, plans are developed to focus on:
-
Continue and refine the partnership with Baylor University; continue work on the Tingathe project as per that grant agreement; and – in partnership with Baylor – explore opportunities to expand that work and seek further funding for that expansion
-
Continued strengthening of ITFL infrastructure, policies and procedures to levels compliant with those expected of USAID grant partners, and testing of those systems
-
Production of additional language versions and regional adaptations of previous animations as requested
-
Continuation of monitoring and evaluation of all relevant projects
-
Continuous refinement of M&E procedures in light of (2) above
-
Continued efforts to raise funds (e.g. it is hoped that our annual fundraising bike ride will be restarted soon)
-
Pursuit of further grant opportunities and/or further project-based grant funding in accordance with capacity.
