UNA-UK Annual Report and Flnanclal Statements forthe Year Ended 30 June 2022 Trustees, Annual Report Charity Objects UNA-UK is the UK'S leading source of independent information and analysis on the UN, and a UK- wide grassroots movement. UNA-UK believes that effective intemalional institutions and systems are essential if we are to build a safer, fairer and more sustainable world. We advocate support for UN programmes that further this objective, and seek to build public knowledge of, and participation in, its initiatives. We pursue this by.. Connecting people to the work and values of the UN Influencing decision-makers and opinion-shapers to support UN goals Explaining how the UN works and what il can realistically achieve Stimulating debate and action on how lo make the UN more effective Equipping our members and supporters to further all of these aims UNA-UK has a network of members and supporters, and autonomous local member, school and university groups throughout the UK. UNA-UK'S objects are as follows.. The prevention and relief of poverty, hunger and distress and the relief of those in need by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage The advancement of human rights, conflict resolution and reconciliation and the promotion of religious or racial hamiony or equality and diversity The raising of awareness of human rights issues and securing the enforcement of human rights law The advanment of the study of and research into international problems and institutions with a view to the education of the public and the dissemination of the results ol such study and research for the purpose of assisting such relief as aforesaid The advancement of environmental protection improvement and sustainable development The promotion of volunteering and good alizenship The support generally, within the powers hereby conferred, of the work of the United Nations or of any of ils related associate agencies insofar as such work promotes all or any of the objects mentioned in any of the above. Programme activities and impact 2021-2022 In February 2022 Russia lore up the global govemance rulebook by launching a devastating invasion of Ukraine. With the world reeling from COVID-19 as well as the increasingly lethal impacts of climate change, our fragile global system with the UN at ils heart is needed now more than ever. Domestically, the slide towards intolerance and authoritarianism has seen top UN officials lake the rare move of speaking out against UK laws and policies which limit the right to prolesl and the rights of refugees and increase nuclear posture. Obvious questions on the UK'S commitment to international law has taken ils toll on the UK'S reputation on the wodd stage. 11 has also made it a more challenging environment to operate within for a charity guided by human rights and the values of the UN Charter. Last year we look the view that we cannot aspire lo return to normal following COVID-19, because 'normal' was not working for most of the world's people. This year il has become clear that there is no 'normal' for the world to return to, and, as at other moments in history, the case for cooperation must be vigorously championed and opportunities grasped to support the intemalional system.

UNA-UK Annual Report and Flnanclal Statements forthe Year Ended 30 June 2022 Trustees, Annual Report Against this backdrop, UNA-UK adjusted ils 2021-2022 operational plans to focus on opportunities for the international community lo coalesce in opposits'on lo the Ukraine invasion and ils knock-on effects. UNA-UK worked across ils networks lo these ends- playing lo our strengths by convening civil society, diplomats, UK parliamentarians and academics lo make the case for a strong UN supported by a UK Govemment that cooperates globally lo address the raft of challenges facing humanity. Our work has followed three streams as outlined in our 2021-2024 strategic plan= The UN we need- through research and campaigns, we will generate momentum to make our global institutions more able to achieve this vision, as well as more open, inclusive and accountable to the people they serve The UK'S role- through advocacy and engagement, we will encourage our country lo lead by example, making the case for global solidarity and cooperation, at home and abroad, and backing it up with concrete actions Tho fvtur9 we want- through outreach and communications, we will engage people in the UK and beyond in building a better future for all, and empower them lo address the challenges we face This annual report marks the first time we report on impact using our new Transformational Index- a tool developed in 2019 and 2020 through team workshops led by a leading consultant specialising in charity monitoring, evaluation and leaming. The Transformational Index is widely used by not-for- profit organisations and our Index has been tailored to report on progress towards UNA-UK'S Strategic Plan. The Index is structured by five measures which, taken together, represent a proxy for our impact and progress towards our mission.. {11 diversily121 wins board131 active supporters, 141 campaign milestones and151 reflection and adaptation. UNA-UK'S full Transformational Index methodology, which explains how and why we chose these 5 measures, can be found here. This report looks al the policy and campaign impact we have had across our programme of work bringing in elements of our five Transformational Index measures to demonslrale our impact and approach. The UN we need Through research and campaigns, we will generate momentum lo make our global institutions more able to achieve this vision, as well as more open, inclusive and accountable lo the people they seNe. Overall Building on our successful campaign, Together First, funded by the Global Challenges Foundation, our work in 2020-21 to shape the UN'S 75th anniversary opened-up space for civil society organisalions including UNA-UK to make progress towards 'lhe UN we need,. The Secrelary-General's report 'Our Common Agenda, now the ntrepieCe of Antonio Guterres, second term- was a key target for our campaigns. Released in Sept 2021, ils publication indicated progress on a number of fronts. The proposal for a 'summil of the future" to strengthen global governance, slated for 2023, was a top Together First ask. The pro$5 is now well undetway and has precipitated widespread interest from member ststes, leading thinkers and civil society- all of whom have a chance to feed into a High-Level Advisory Board that the Secretary-General has put together lo shape the summit. Member states will lake over the process in 2023 and UNA-UK is committed lo continuing to engage through this rare opportunity lo lake slod( of and build on our system of global governance. Ukraine had a major bearing on this workstream and necessitated a strategic decision to pivot away from non-crilical policy and campaign work for a period of weeks following the invasion in order lo insert UNA- UK and its expertise into developments at the UN and pull together with diplomats, humanitarian organisations and civil society to stand up for the UN Charter and speak out for pea. We were pleased lo contribute to the global response lo this Unpredented moment in history al the UN, in line with our values and mission as an organisalion. A brief description of our work on this front is outlined below. While the unplanned work relating to Ukraine limited our capacity to deliver on other priorities, we were nonetheless able to make progress on several of our predetermined campaign objectives as outlined in our 2021-22 Transformational Index. This was facilitated by using the space opened up by the Our Common Agenda process as well as established mechanisms to make progress on specific campaign objectives. Page 5 of 34
UNA-UK Annual Report and Flnanclal Statements forthe Year Ended 30 June 2022 Trustees, Annual Report Workstream- UkrainelRussia conflict Overall objective.. Support for multilateralism and the UN Charter Activities and im act As this historic moment started lo unfold, we took a deliberate decision as a team to drop non*ssenlial work and direct our allenlion to responding to the Ukraine situation. We spoke up for diplomacy, suggested ways that the UN can add value and lobbied stales lo support such routes. In limes of global crisis, the world looks to the UN for answers and we played a key role in explaining to UK policymakers and joumalists what the UN was doing. We are proud lo have worked directly with multiple stales during the drafting and adoption of the historic 2 March General Assembl Resolution and can be confident that our direct advocacy impacted the results. The resolution saw 141 ststes condemn Russia for its unjusts'fiable aggression and encouraged actions to deescalate including condemnatory language on Russia's threats lo use nuclear weapons. We also worked effectively with a small group of organisalions to increase the uptake by states of the Human Rights Counal resolution which established the Commission of In into violations committed in Ukraine. Seeing an opportunity to make progress on an important UN reform position we have long advocated, we worked with Liechtenstein and other stales lo promote and canvas support among states for the Veto Initiative- a mechanism lo raise the political cost of P5 stales wielding a velo in the Security Council. This included direct advocacy with the UK Government, who eventuall oined as a ¢spOnsor of the resolution. Our detailed UN Briefin on the emergency UN General Assembly session on Ukraine was widely circulated and received positive feedback from journalists and prominent figures. The o inion lebya UNA-UK staff member for PassBlue on the Velo Initiative also received widespread positive feedback and was the most popular article on the PassBlue news sile for a week during a packed perioij of UN reporting. Workstream: Post UN75 follow-up process Overall objective.. A transformative follow-up process to the UN'S 75th anniversary declaration that will bring us closer lo the UN we need In November, a follow-up General Assembly resolution was adopted lo trigger an intergovernmental process to lake the report forwards - a key campaign milestone for Together First. UNA-UK and partners worked lo support the drafting of that resolution, through suggested language and advocacy. This space also enabled us to make progress on 5 of our 10 Together First priorities which were taken up by the report.. creating a UN youth Offi and civil society focal points in all UN entities, strengthening the pe8bUilding commission and people-cenlred peakeepIng and banning lethal autonomous weapons. Positive language on nuclear disarmament, climate and security and planetary boundaries were also included, and related lo 3 other Together First proposals. This groundwork helped us shape the agenda of the Summit of the Future ISOTFI, planned for 2023 - a key recommendation from the Together First network. We have successfully secured a new round of funding from the Global Challenges Foundation to continue this programme of work. This enables us to support the follow up lo Our Common Agenda, and the preparats'ons for SOTF, by engaging with the High- Level Advisory Board for Effective Multilateralism directly, and through expert consultants.

UNA-UK Annual Report and Flnanclal Statements forthe Year Ended 30 June 2022 Trustees, Annual Report Workstream: Merit-based UN appointments.. Overall objective: Transparent, inclusive recruitment processes for lop UN jobs and progress on other 1 for 7 Billion priorities {including single term, multiple candidates and civil society inclusion) As 1 for 7 Billion - a campaign we CO•founded that UNA-UK continues to (x)ordinale- we were influential in securin lan ua einlhese 12021 General Assembl Resolution 751325 relating to the Secrelary-General selection process. This included wording on stale backing which will enable multiple states to nominate future candidates, wording on civil society involvement which encourages states to work with civil society upstream of the official process lo identify candidates and bring them into the race. The resolution also contains positive language on gender equality which we campaigned for- il is the first General Assembly resolution lo note the UN'S unbroken chain of male Secretaries-General. We mobilised support for the proposal that the UN chief should serve a single term of office - a long-held UNA-UK policy position aimed al strengthening the independence of the Secretary-General. Through our research we were able to demonstrate that Y3 of UN member stales support this reform and that il was only the P5 who were willing to actively sland in the way of progress. Through meetin with co-chairs of the Ad Hoc Worf(ing Group on the Revilalizalion of the General Assembly IAHWGI to discuss our briefin we were able lo help frame the negoliats'ons while also working closely with progressive country groupings as well as individual member ststes to advan our proposals. To further these efforts, we also worked closely with media outlets to shed light on tactics P5 states used to block progress, in particular with an article in Ethics in International Affairs. The reforms achieved will have a major bearing on the 2026 Secretsry-General selection process and subsequent races. They bring clarity and inclusivity to a sensitive and influential UN process and advan civil society participation Our advocacy for a single tem and other outstanding reforms is gaining traction, setting a strong foundation ready to be built on in 2022-2023. Workstream: UN civil society champion: Overall oblectlve: The creation and appointment of a high level champion at the UN backed up by a well- staffed office Over the last year there has been growing momentum in support for 8 dedicated champion for civil society atlhe UN. We have continued to support the UNmute civil society campaign and the We the Peoples Initiative that continue to engage different constituencies and audien$ and grow support. Notably, the UN'S Independent Expert for an Equitable and Democratic International Order, Livingslone Sewanyana, officially set out his support for the recommendation for a high-level civil S(lety envoy in his 2021 re ort. Importantly, the Secrelary-General's Our Common Agenda report specifically made reference to civil society focal points in all UN entities and commits lo exploring high level champion. We will monitor the roll- out of the focal points and continue lo advocate for the champion. We conducted and published an interview with UK Mission to New York IUKMISI on their ambitions for a new role the UK has on the NGO committee al the UN which included the UK reaffirming their support for a civil society champion - one of our core UN reform recommendations.

UNA-UK Annual Report and Flnanclal Statements forthe Year Ended 30 June 2022 Trustees, Annual Report Workstream- Climate action, sustainable development and global health Overall objective: The adoption of a global new deal including pathways for a just Iransits'on to zero carbon and environmental protection. Without dedicated funding, this work was largely carried out through the provision of information through our magazine and website, with particular focus on ke events such as COP26, hosted by the UK in Glasgow. During COP26 we held events on women and climate chan e and raisin ambition on climate action, and our CEO spoke al the firsl*ver Global Citizens Assembly on climate change. UNA-UK also oined with over 50 NGOS from around the world to Vol our conrn that, in spite of the scale of their emissions, military contributions to climate change impacts are not part of official discussions at COP26 taking place in Glasgow. The 2021 UNA-UK magazine This is One De ree" spotlighted climate change and climate action ahead of COP26, featuring expert perspectives and analysis, the magazine was provided as a resource to policymakers and the public ahead. In addition, our To ether First re ort in partnership with Brazil-based NGO Plalaforma CIPO highlighted recommendations for strengthening global climate governance by improving global south civil society access lo decision making mechanisms. For UN Day we spotlighted two leaders on climate action, former PGA Maria Fernanda Espinosa and Nisreen Elsaim, by presenting them with the Sir Brian Urquhart Award. As the first lime we have had dual awardees this moment marked an opportunity lo showcase women leaders as well as intergenerational approaches to climate action. In continuing to develop our work on global health, UNA-UK hosted a virtual ublic event offering perspectives from the WHO, Lant Commission, and civil society, entitled "COVID-19, Foreign Policy, and Human Rights." Additionally, we oined the lobal call for COVltk19 vaccines to be available lo all people, everywhere, free of charye. The UK'S role Through advocacy and engagement, we will encourage our country lo lead by example, making the case for global solidarity and cooperation, al home and abroad, and backing it up with concrete actions. Overall Throughout the last year, UNA-UK worked with other civil society organisations to develop recommendations for UK action, advocate for their adoption and monitor the UK'S implementation of its international commitments and obligations. This included joint responses with partners on arms control and atrocity prevention,. lellers to Government., direct advocacy with parfiamentarians around the Queen's Speech interventions and responses., and briefing sessions with the Govemment and opposition parties - notably through the UN All-Paty Parliamentary Group IAPPGI- Our UK focused response to the crisis in Ukraine cenlred around providing information and analysis lo padiamenlarians and the public. Through the UN APPG we held a series of events relating to Ukraine, including with the UK Ambassador lo the UN, with Fiona Hill, and with a Ukrainian cultural historian and the UK Minister for DCMS on the destruction of Ukraine's cultural and UNESCO heritage sites. UNA-UK staff also briefed parliamentarians directly through a meeting organised by the APPG on modern conflict and through a written briefing. While the UK government rightly stepped up to support Ukraine by welcoming refugees and offering humanitarian support, wider government policy has seen the UK lake worrying steps back from ils commitment lo international agreements and human rights. In line with our objective of encouraging the UK lo lead by example, we issued a statement calling on parliamentarians lo oppose the Nationalities and Borders Bill, signed an open letter raising concerns over the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill and raised ongoing COnrnS about UK aid cuts.

UNA-UK Annual Report and Flnanclal Statements forthe Year Ended 30 June 2022 Trustees, Annual Report Workstream- Campaign lo Stop Killer Robots Overall objective: The UK Government supports the creation of such a treaty, participates in its negotiation and subsequently joins it. With new funding from the Joseph Rownlree Charitable Trust and the global Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, we were able to increase our work on lethal autonomous weapons by engaging our university network. This included recruiting six junior fellows lo scrulinize university research relevant to autonomy in weapons systems. We continued lo highlight the significance of LAWS as an issue within parliament, increasing awareness amongst members and pressure on the government lo recognise the need for leadership and constructive engagement. With our support, our growing network of parliamentary champions and allies have lifted the issue of LAWS up the agenda through a wide variety of means- hosting a debate in Westminster Hall., placing oral questions linking topical issues, like Ukraine, with autonomous weapons use and securing the first ever oral statement in the Commons., securing a s eech in the Lords on LAWS during the Queen's Speech debates,. res ondin lo the recentl released MOD Al strate and championing the idea of a one- year seleel committee on this issue. Workstream: Nuclear disamamenl Overall objective- The UK Govemment adopts a constructive and c(x)perative approach to the TPNW and its supporters With ongoing funding from JRCT, Polden Puckham Charitable Foundation and the Marmot Charitable Trust we continued a major programme of work around the entry into for of the Treaty on the Prohibib"on of Nuclear Weapons ITPNWI aimed al raising awareness among parfiamentarians, young people and the wider public. UNA-UK joined academics, faith groups, scientists and civil society organisalions lo urge Liz Truss, Secretsry of Slate for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, to send UK diplomats to observe the First Meeting of States Parties of the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons ITPNWI. Ahead of this first meeting, UNA-UK released an im ortant re rt in partnership with Artide 36 and independent experts, lo address the harm caused by the UK'S tests in Kiribati in the context of new opportunities for recognition and remediation, given Kiribali's role as a slate party lo the TPNW. In response to the UK'S unfortunate decision to boycoll both the First Meeting of Stales Parties and a further conference on nuclear weapons hosted by the Austrian Government, UNA-UK'S Head of Campaigns released a well-picked up blO robustly challenging the UK'S stated justtficalion for not attending. Workstream: A principled, mullilaleral UK that supports the UN Overall objective: The development of a UK strategy for strengthening the UN backed by a feminist, ethical foreign policy In the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the UK'S immediate response was inadequate in the face of the escalating humanitarian crisis, in particular in relation to provisions for refugees. UNA-UK called u on the UK Government to do more to ensure the UK upheld ils commitments to the Geneva Convention and redUd barriers preventing vulnerable people seeking safety in the UK. More broadly, UNA-UK joined widespread calls for the UK to change course regarding the Nationalities and Borders Bill, dubbed the °anli-refugee bill" The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights herself wamed that the bill contained elements that contravene the 1951 Refugee Convention and would undermine the human rights of refugees. UNA-UK released a stslemenl highlighting these concems, and worked with ils members and supporters lo take action. UNA-UK has continued lo monitor the UK'S diminishing commitments to international aid. We sel out our concerns in a ublic statement following MPS, decision lo approve the cul of spending 0.70 of Gross National Income on overseas aid, to 0.5 /0. Page 9 of 34

More effective, pe0p1e-ntred peace operations We delivered a successful UN Peacekeepers Day conference in partnership with RUSI and UNA Westminster which featured the USG for Peace Operations and other prominent participants including our own new CEO and Chair. The event, along with the associated ceremony in which over 70 stales, a UK minister and a large contingent of British peacekeepers were involved, helped ensure that peakeepIng retains a prominent and respected place within the UK'S political and foreign policy ecosystem. Workstrgam: Atrocity prevention Overall oblectlve: The UK adopts a comprehensive cross4epartment strategy lo prevent mass atrocities Without dedicated funding, we have continued lo work in partnership with organisations such as Protection Approaches to build awareness within policy-making circles of the need for specific action on atrocity prevention, dislincl from broader confli¢l protection work. Building on progress made in the Inlegraled Review, UNA-UK has continued to support the UK Atrocity Prevention Working Group in working with the UK government to build on the ils commitments and implement a holists'c approach to atrocity prevention We also raised the alam on a number of occasions where UN experts warned there was a risk of atrocity crimes and serious violations of human rights law - this included letters and stslemenls on Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Sudan UNA-UK partnered with Protection Approaches to provide a briefing reporting on COP26 and highlighting the intersection of human rights, atrocity prevention and climate action. Workstream: Arms exports Overall objective- The UK reviews and strengthens ils export controls mechanisms 2nd implements them promptly Without dedicated funding we built on the previous year's work on the Integrated Review. UNA-UK partnered with Rethinking Security lo rOdU a re ort rUtInis1ng the Government's handling of the Integrated Review and the very approach the UK has for forming its security policy. The future we want Through outreach and communications, we will engage people in the UK and beyond in building a beller future for all, and empower them lo address the challenges we face. Overall Over the last year have continued to make progress on engaging members, supporters and local groups more frequently through virtual meetings which enabled the staff team to engage with constituencies across the country and invite speakers from around the world. In line with our strategic objectives, we have continued to work to ensure our communications and outreach are more accessible to those with disabilities, as well as lo the general public. This has included updating the backend of the UNA-UK website lo enable a beller user experience design, seeking advice on producing materials in different formats, and exploring ways to ensure that financial hardship is not a barrier lo engaging with us.

UNA-UK Annual Report and Flnanclal Statements forthe Year Ended 30 June 2022 Trustees, Annual Report Organlsatlonal Integrlty and Grovrth In line with our strategic objectives we have continued to work internally and collaboratively in a way that upholds the values of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We have done so by ensuring our organisalion, networks, events and publications reflect diversity in all ils forms and champion lesser-heard voices. We haven't participated in any all-male panels while engaging in public events, and have continued to walk the talk on inclusion and diversity, from appointing Baroness Anelay, our first ever female Board Chair, lo championing the voices of civil society in Low and Middle Income Countries. As a learning organisation we pla importance on building in time to reflect on progress and adapt our operations based on quantitative and qualitative data. The ongoing reporting through the Transformational Index allows us lo continue lo collect robust data on our actions towards these commitments. Walking the talk.. greening UNA-UK Over the last year, we have focused on our commitments to making our Offi greener and our processes more sustainable. We have switched lo a renewable energy provider and are in the prttess of transitioning lo a paperless office- we replaced our large, industrial printers with a small, more eco- friendly printer that only prints in black and white. LIceneS and UNA-UK staff are encouraged to only print when absolutely necessary and to unsubscribe from printed mail communications. We hosted most of our events virtually and by doing so, majorly reduced transport emissions by culling rail, air and car travel. We have also transitioned lo a hybrid working model, which reduces unnecessary joumeys and limits the setvices that require the use of polluting vehicles for deliveries or collections lo our offi. Additionally the 2021 Sir Brian Urquhart Award did not come in the form of a trophy, but as donations to the Eden Reforestation Pro ects. Walklng the talk: Incluslon UNA-UK reflects and actively promotes inclusion and diversity in all aspects of its work. For UN Day we chose lo present the Sir Brian Urquhart award to two trailblazing women, one from the youth climate movement, in order to shine a light on intergenerational climate action, women leaders and activism from the Global South. Regarding on UNA-UK'S commitments to this internally, we have appointed our first female Chair Baroness Anela former Minister for the UN. UNA-UK has also worked to improve access lo membership by reducing membership fees. Walking the talk.. compassion UNA-UK leads by example in creating forward-looking, compassionate and flexible working practices. In adapting to life post-lock down the UNA-UK Offi has maintained a flexible working policy, and in 2022 Suc$$fullY Irialled a 4-day working week. The organisalion has also implemented annual staff survey in order lo ensure staff wellbeing and capacity structurally addressed. Page 12of34
UNA-UK Annual Report and Flnanclal Statements forthe Year Ended 30 June 2022 Trustees, Annual Report Plans for 2022-23 The pandemic has shown that we need everyone- people, business, research, civil s(iety, local and national governments, and global institutions- to pull together.

UNA-UK Annual Report and Flnanclal Statements forthe Year Ended 30 June 2022 Trustees, Annual Report Governance and Management Declslon Maklng The governance and decision-making of the charity rests with the Board of DirectorsruSteeS', these are the charity's key management personnel and include the Chief Executive Officer Oob tide changed from Executive Director). No other trustees reiVed any remuneration for their servIs. The Chief Executive Officer's remuneration policy is stipulated in UNA-UK'S Artides.

New trustees are given a copy of 'UNA-UK Trustee induction pack, which includes an oveNiew of their legal obligations as a Iruslee together with a copy of UNA-UK'S A'cleS of Association and Code of Conduct. The Board was supported in ils work by the Finance and Govemance Committee {F&GCI. The F&GC provided oversight of the finance and governan of UNA-UK including selling the staff pay and conditions, risk management processes, intemal controls, the integrity of financial stslemenls and the external audit process. The Chair of the committee is the honorary treasurer and a full member of the Board. A minimum of 50D/o of the Committee members are also members of the Board. A second sub-committee, the Conference Committee. focuses solely on the organisalion of a biennial UNA-UK Conference. A representative of the Conference Committee is also a member of the Board.

Pro bonologal support The Trustees and staff of UNA-UK continue to be immensely grateful for the pro bono legal support received from Baker McKenzie during the year and in previous years. In line with the SORP, the contribution of pro bono legal advice, which we would otherwise have had lo purchase during this year of transition for the Charity, amounted to an estimated £219k12021 £48kl. This amount is included within the financial statements as a donation and a corresponding amount is included in expenditure. We cannot thank Baker McKenzie enough for their valuable support. Planning The charity continued to pursue the overall objectives of the charity as set out in the charity's 2022- 2024 strategic plan. Trustees have agreed lo adopt a shorter timeframe for recent strategic plans given the uncertain external political and financial environment. The Executive's work is derived from the strategic plan and Board priorities. The Charity uses Transformational Index ITII as a tool lo report on the charity's progress towards its Strategic Plan. The measures were developed in workshops with the staff team led by a leading consultant specialising in charity monitoring, evaluation and leaming. The Tl measures are designed lo give comparable data which will chronicle progress over the course of our Strategic Plan, with scope to refine and adapt as opportunities arise and campaign priorities change, for example, when new funding is secured. The Tl report builds on the previous system of reporting on Key Performance Indicators IKPls}. Tl reporting includes both qualitative and quantitative information not previously captured by KPIS. Tl reporting provides us with tools to report impact more stridently and with greater precision, including measures to increase the organisation's inclusivity and engage a more diverse audience over lime.

UNA-UK Annual Report and Flnanclal Statements forthe Year Ended 30 June 2022 Trustees, Annual Report Rlsk Management Risk management is the responsibility of the Board, supported by the Finance and Govemance Committee. Strategic and operational risks are regularly reviewed by the Committee as presented by the Executive. Each risk identified is managed through a risk map. Where possible the risks are managed by ensuring adequate internal controls are in pla lo mitigate and reduce risks where possible and these are reviewed and assessed regularly lo establish if any further actions can be taken. The risk map covers areas such as Reputation, Operational Delivery, Fundraising, People, Govemance and IT. For the last few years, the Trustees have assessed the most significant risks to be associated with income generation, in particular the risk of having limited resources or not being able to replace funding to sustain current levels of activity. Contingency plans have been developed in the event the Charity is unable lo secure sufficient income lo sustsin ils current level of aclivily. The charity has secured sufficient unrestricted income to fund ils current strategy. Strategic and operational risks are reviewed al each F&GC meeting lo ensure where possible action is taken to miligale any risks identified. However, the nature of some of these risks, in particular reputational risks associated with the UN, means that majority of these risks are outside the control of the charity. The Trustees believe adequate controls are in pla lo manage operational risks identified to dale. Impact of the Global COVID-19 Pandemic As part of the organisation's risk management, risks related lo the pandemic on all aspects of the charity's operations were added lo the charity's risk register. The charity's drive towards a papedess Offi helped the charity transition lo remote working relatively seamlessly. sin March 2020 all staff have successfully been working remotely. Following consultations with the staff and the Finance and Governanee Committee and to safeguard the charity s staff and protect their wel being, the charity reviewed and updated it's staff benefits and remuneration policy which now includes 44ay working week for all staff with extended hours. The Charity has also introduced a Health and Mental well-being policy and guidance lo support staff and managers and introduced a mandatory team day in the office once a week. The Executive continues to regularfy monitor the financial impact of the pandemic. A combination of successful fundraising, prudent financial management and legacies means the charity's 2022-2024 strategy is fully funded. Current financial risk assessment indicates that there is a risk that the charity will not be able to maintain all ils income streams al eurrent levels, however this has been taken into consideration when preparing budgets and cashflows for the following year. In addition lo the above, the full impact following the emergence of the global coronavirus pandemic and the impact on the current economic situation due to the UkrainelRussia crisis is still unknown. It is therefore not currently possible to evaluate all the potential implications for the charity s activities, funders, suppliers and the wider economy. Estimates used in the financial statements, particularfy with respect to the value of listed investments (see note 101 are subject to a greater degree of uncertainly and volatility. Going Concern As sel out in the accounting policies under'going concern. the trustees have considered the impact of the pandemic on the charity and the current economic environment and have concluded that despite these challenges and although there may be some negative consequences, the charity has sufficient reserves to continue preparing ils Financial Statements on the going concem basis. Financial Review Income Total income during 2021-22 was £597,301 12020-21.. £792,720), which came from eight sour8.. £201,17512020-21.' £401,1701 from grants of which £201,17512020-21'. £389.1701 was from reslicted grants £218,65512020-21.. £47,627) gift in kind for legal services £66,44312020-21.' £78,786) from membership subscriptions and donations £70,99712020-21'. £69,967) from 98 Whitehall Court LLP £1,00012020-21.' £82,8391 from legacies £Nil12020-21.' £15,000) from publications £10,47512020-21.. £28,461) other income, £2,828 {2020-21.. £1,242) income from events Page 15of34
UNA-UK Annual Report and Flnanclal Statements forthe Year Ended 30 June 2022 Trustees, Annual Report Expendlture Total expenditure for 2021-22 was £703,441 12021>21.. £502,161), of which 97D/o, £688,61412020- 21.. 989/0, £444,116) was used on charitable aclivilies. There are three broad strands lo the charitable activities of UNA-UK, namely work towards a safer, fairer and more sustainable world., provision of information,. and educational aclivilies. Investments The UNA-UK investment portfolio is invested in CCLA Investments Limited's COIF Charity Ethical Investment Fund. The Fund is managed in accordance with the policy set by the Fund's Board and CCLA'S response lo the UK Stewardship Code. The Fund's aim is to provide a long-lerm total retum comprising growth in capital and distributions. The Fund's policy is lo actively manage a diversified porttolio of assets designed lo help protect both present and future beneficiaries from the effects of inflation. The Fund has an emphasis on equities, bul will also include property, bonds and other asset classes. The Fund has a wide range of ethical restrictions advised by an ethical advisory group that assists in the development of the Fund's clien14riven ethical investment policy. Investments Performance The Fund achieved a total return after expenses of -2.930/,. This compares with a return of 9.7601 on the previous year. The decrease in the portft)lio reflects the weakness in equities which have struggled as interest rates have risen to combat inflation and concerns over economic growth have intensified. The allocation away from bonds and towards alternatives has yielded strong performance compared lo other investment funds. The trustees are satisfied that the investment aims above have been mel. The Itustees are hopeful that the performance objective of their investment policy lo generate a total return of at least inflation ICPII plus 30/9 over the medium term, as ineome or capital appreuation.will continue to be achieved in the coming years, but recognise that achieving the objective may be challenging against a backdrop of possible increases in interest rates and while stock markets remain potentially volatile in current geopolitical circumstances. Reserves Policy Reserves at 30 June 2022 were £1,684,571 12021.. £1,850,937) of which £4,57012021.' £95,101) is unspent restricted grants, £431,001 12021.. £441,462) relates lo John Bright Endowment, £550,000 12021.. £550,000) represents long term fixed asset investment in 98 Whitehall Court LLP IUNA-UK Offi premises), and £9,50012021'. £9,500) in designated funds- leaving £684,50012021.' £754,874) in unrestricted general funds at the year*nd. The Trustees have reviewed risks during the year in developing the charity's reserves policy, which is retaining sufficient unrestricted general funds to meet as a minimum six months of the charity's staff costs, currently estimated lo be £240,00012021.. £180,000). As at 30 June 2022, the charity had £684,50012021.. £754,874) in unrestricted general reserves equivalent to 17 {2021..241 months staff costs. Excess over the reserves policy will help fund UNA-UK'S 2022-2024 strategy and has provided the charity with some financial stability over the next couple of years. Fundraising We have been fortunate, considering the current funding environment which has proved very challenging in a number of areas, the charity managed to secure a total of £201 k grant funding during the year. UNA-UK will continue lo pursue other grant makers whilst also seeking lo develop other sustainable income streams, which provide unrestricted core funding for the charity. Like all of our work, our fundraising activities are grounded in the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and we aspire to best practice in terms of transparency. We fundraise solely for our work, using content for which we own the copyright andlor have reiVed permission. Our fundraising materials overwhelmingly use images from our own events and campaigns, and quotes from our members and supporters. We are mindful of accessibility and diversity when producing these materials and work hard lo ensure that our objectives and activities are portrayed accurately. The bulk of these activities are carried out by UNA-UK stsff team, from writing funding bids and appeals to processing donations and organising events, with Trustees providing practical support and guidan. We also seek informal advice from our members and supporters, for example, when crafting sensitive appeals such a5 legacy appeals. Page 16of34
UNA-UK Annual Report and Flnanclal Statements forthe Year Ended 30 June 2022 Trustees, Annual Report We support staff training and development and have strict policies and processes in pla to ensure that our activities comply with regulations as well as with our values as an organisalion. The Board has advertised and recruited Trustees with particular skills, knowledge and experien in this area, and will continue lo do so. During the year 30/,, £14,82712021.. 20/0, £10,453) of our income was spent on fundraising. We do not use professional fundraisers or commercial agents for our fundraising. We encourage our local UNA groups to fundraise for us and have prodUd guidance documents lo assist them in carrying out these activities in a fair, inclusive and transparent manner. These groups are legally and financially autonomous from UNA-UK, bul they play a crucial role in furthering the charity's objectives in their local communities. To dale, we have not received any complaints about fundraising conducted by local UNA groups on our behalf. Should this occur in the future, they would be handled using the same process as for any other complaints. The lop-level process is set out in the charity's Artides, with further detail in organisalional policies. In terms of seeking donations from members of the public, this is overwhelmingly limited lo email appeals to our existing members and supporters, save for the occasional appeal al UNA-UK public events and social media plattorms. All members and supporters can opt out from receiving our approaches al any time. The charity never'cold calls, anyone, nor do we engage in street fundraising. As anyone can become a member or supporter of UNA-UK, il is likely that some people who could be described as vulnerable will receive communications from us. We strive lo ensure that all of our communications are respectful and sensitive- nobody should ever feel under pressure to make a fin8nci81 contribution to UNA-UK. In light of the pandemic and increased financial hardship for many people in the UK, our Board took the decision to reduce membership categories lo one category for all individuals and reduce the membership fee lo an affordable amount al just £10 for an annual subscription, thereby removing financial barriers lo membership. While the public element of our fundraising is modest, we are nonetheless exploring registering with the Fundraising Regulator. We already comply with the spirit of the Fundraising Promise.

Responslbllltle5 of trustees As explained more ftjlly in the trustees, responsibilities statement, the trustees Iwho 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 fin8nci81 statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial stslements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going cOnM, disclosing, as applicable, matters related lo going concern and using the going concern basis of accounts'ng unless the trustees either intend lo liquidate the charitable company or lo cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are lo 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 inclLJdes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS {UKI 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 InStanS of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, ouuined above, to delect material misslatemenls in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The exlenl to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable lo the eharilable company and determined that the most significant are the Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006 and the General Data Protection Act 2018. We understood how United Nations Association - UK is complying with those frameworks by making enquires of management and those responsible for legal and Compliance procedures. We corroborated our enquires through our review of board minutes to identify noncompliance with laws and regulations and review of any legal expenses. Page 20 of 34
UNA-UK Annual Report and Flnanclal Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2022 We assessed the susceplibilily of the company s financial statements to material misstatemerbl, inclLJding obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by.. making enquiries of management and those charged with govemance as to where they considered there was SUsptibIlity to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud,. and considering the internal controls in place to miligale risks of fraud and non-complian with laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we.. performed analytical procedures lo identify any unusual or unexpected relationships,. lesled journal entries to identify unusual transactions., lesled the aulhorisation of expenditure as part of our substantive lesling Ihereon., assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting eslimales sel out in the accounting policies were indicative of potential bias,. and used data analytics to identify any significant or unusual transactions and identify the rationale for them. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-complian with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which inclLJded. but were not limited to.. agreeing financial statement disclosures lo undedying supporting documentation., reading the minutes of trustee meetings: enquiring of management and those charged with governance as to actual and potential litigation and claims There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed thal18ws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non- compliance with laws and regulations lo enquiry of the Iruslees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due lo fraud can be harder lo detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uklaudilorsresponsibilities. This description fomis part of our auditor's report. Use of our report This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordan with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.

Income comprises membership subscriptions, donations, grants, legacies, investment income and other income. Membership subscriptions and donations, received under Gift Aid or deed of covenant, are recognised when the charity has confirmation of both the amount and selllement dale. In the event of donations pledged but not reived, the amount is accrued for where the receipt is considered probable. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is enlilled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully mel, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and il is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. Gifts of professional setvices, if material, are recognised as income when.. the charity has received the service, any conditions associated with the gift have been met and the economic reIpl of the benefit can be measured reliably.

Legacies are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled lo the legaw, the executors have established that there are sufficient surplus assets in the estate lo pay the legacy, and any conditions allached lo the lega are within the control of the charity.

Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably, and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention lo make a dislribulion. Where legacies have been notified lo the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, bul the criteria for income recognition have not been mel, then the legacy is Irealed as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject lo the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the lille of the asset having being transferred to the charity. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and nottficalion has been received of the dividend due. Interest on funds held on deposit is included when re1vable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity,. this is normally upon nolificalion of the interest paid or payable by the bank. (vl Grants Income from charitable activities includes any grant income reived.
