Development Policy and approach to project activity is agreed between SeeBeyondBorders UK and SeeBeyondBorders Australia working together. These arrangements are governed by a Memorandum of Understanding but are not subject to any legally binding obligations.
The Memorandum of Understanding between SeeBeyondBorders UK and SeeBeyondBorders Australia was updated in July 2018 and is kept under review to ensure clarity of roles and responsibilities. The Trustees keep a risk register which is reviewed at least annually.

| Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) |
The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. The Trustees have determined to focus their efforts on the relief of poverty amongst people in need in Cambodia through education. Addressing the education challenges in Cambodia requires an integrated approach that goes to the root cause of the problems. SeeBeyondBorders UK has decided to support the operations conducted by SeeBeyondBorders in Cambodia as the most effective way to deliver change in Cambodia. SeeBeyondBorders strategy is to strengthen project effectiveness rather than focusing on quantity. Its aim is to implement quality teaching and learning in primary education. In addition, it is focussed on capacity building in the community and wider education sector in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport. This will support the creation of sustainable systemic change within the public-school network. The five values of changemaker, competency, integrity, courage and respect are at the heart of everything that SeeBeyondBorders does. The SeeBeyondBorders projects have been designed to complement each other and work together to achieve SeeBeyondBorders’ ultimate goal of providing access to quality teaching and learning at school. Quality Teaching Programme The Quality Teaching Focus Area develops confident and competent communities of teachers committed to quality teaching and ongoing professional development. SeeBeyondBorders team upskills Cambodian teachers on the school curriculum and introduces them to best practice teaching methodologies. In order to improve their skills however, teachers need more than just workshops. They need ongoing mentoring support to ensure that they are putting their learning into practice. 1. Core Programme: SeeBeyondBorders implements the Quality Teaching Programme, running workshops and mentoring to support teachers. 2. Transition Programme: The programme identifies Master Mentors from within schools, and they are trained to run the Quality Teaching Programme themselves. 3. Maintenance Programme: SeeBeyondBorders hands over responsibility to the school staff and local community who are now capable of providing in-service support for their teachers without the aid of SeeBeyondBorders. |

SeeBeyondBorders UK
The Quality Teaching Programme comprises: Literacy, Educational Technology, Educational Changemakers and Embedding Mentoring. In order to promote a sustainable approach, these projects build systemic capabilities with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport and work closely with communities.

SeeBeyondBorders’ vision is to empower a generation of Cambodian children through education so that they have choices, free from the social deprivation faced by so many today. SeeBeyondBorders’ mission is to provide the best possible start in early grade education through access to quality teaching and learning at school.
SeeBeyondBorders UK does not currently make grants to anyone other than to SeeBeyondBorders Australia for its operations in Cambodia. The Trustees receive reports to confirm the use of the funds transferred to Cambodia against budget, and the effectiveness of the programmes to which these funds have been directed. These reports enable the Trustees to ensure that the funds are utilised to achieve the objects per the governing documents.

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The Year in Review
SeeBeyondBorders UK has continued to fund projects being implemented by SeeBeyondBorders Australia in Cambodia in line with SeeBeyondBorders’ Australia programme methodology. That methodology has evolved to further strengthen its ability to deliver the quality education Cambodian children deserve.
SeeBeyondBorders in Cambodia runs interconnected projects in the Battambang District of Ek Phnom. Progress remained challenging throughout this reporting period due to continued school closures arising from COVID-19. In total schools were closed for 64 weeks and finally reopened in January 2022. It was reported that students were studying for an average of less than 3 hours a week during school closures, leading to significant learning loss. Since schools reopened, in excess of 3,500 children in 27 schools have benefited directly from the work of the Programme.
During this reporting period there were significant staffing changes in Cambodia. The Founder and International CEO, Edward Shuttleworth retired and the Director of Development, Colm Byrne, took on the role of CEO of SeeBeyondBorders (International Operations) in 2022. Colm is based in Cambodia.
Literacy Project
The goal of the Literacy Project is to improve the professional knowledge, practice and engagement of teachers teaching literacy. More importantly, it aims to help children reach minimum proficiency levels in literacy, appropriate to their grades. This year, the Literacy Project Manager and Technical Education Manager conducted eight workshops to build teachers’ knowledge with an average attendance rate of over 85% which equates to 18 teachers on average attending each workshop.
Ongoing mentoring from project managers regularly takes place to ensure that teaching, evaluation, literacy knowledge, and classroom management skills continue to be developed. This is in addition to the facilitation of two-way constructive feedback.
The Literacy Project has been active in Ek Phnom district for four years, with collaboration between the District Office of Education and five primary schools. Parents and teachers have noted significant improvement in the learning results of students after working with SeeBeyondBorders. Children in the projects can not only read words, but they can read for meaning and comprehension. Children can write effectively and independently through frequent writing practice. Teachers are also taught to assess the children in different ways, to identify different areas of weakness and agree on ways to improve this.
Educational Technology Project
In February 2021, SeeBeyondBorders launched its new Educational
10
SeeBeyondBorders UK
Technology Project at Rohal Soung Lech, a rural primary school on the outskirts of Ek Phnom District with four teachers. After a successful pilot project, it raised the number of beneficiaries in the Literacy project up to 22 teachers. The project aims to build teaching capacity through the use of educational technology and digital resources. Teachers are provided with a tablet and a range of digital resources and lesson plans which they access through a learning management system called Moodle. Teachers display this content to the children in their class using a portable projector. The use of this technology allows SeeBeyondBorders to provide better quality, more sustainable and environmentally friendly resources to teachers.
In July 2022, this project was expanded to include the Embedding Mentoring Project with 15 tablets being given to Master Mentors as well as 1 given to the District Office of Education Director. In addition, 12 tablets were given to mentors. The use of this technology in mentoring will aid mentors and Master Mentors by providing them with digital resources such as a mentoring manual, monitoring and evaluation forms, skill scales and assessment forms. This makes mentoring more effective and maximises time efficiency as all resources are easily accessible.
“I was very impressed with what I saw and how much teachers’ capacity had grown. Some had initially been unable to turn on the power button and have now become capable teachers who can stand in the classroom confidently knowing what to do.”
Lon Borey, Educational Technology Project Manager.
Educational Changemaker Project
In February 2021, SeeBeyondBorders started its Educational Changemaker Graduate Project. This innovative project aligns with SDG 5 Gender Equality. Based in Battambang province, this is a twoyear graduate programme that will enable five Cambodian women to develop a toolkit to become future educational Changemakers. Graduates are given the opportunity to pursue their dreams of making a difference in education within a supportive community that recognises the intrinsic value of women in leadership. The Educational Changemaker Graduate Project aims to reduce the barriers to women becoming leaders in the education sector in Cambodia.
Throughout this year, the educational Changemakers spent time in Prek Kroch, Prek Norin and Rohal Soung Lech primary schools, each with a supervising teacher for support. While in classrooms, the Changemakers observed classroom management, teaching methodologies and the facilitation of small group teaching. They then gradually took charge of classes until they were able to independently teach a full week of lessons.
Over the course of this project, Changemakers will also complete a
11
SeeBeyondBorders UK
Master’s Degree in Education, and attend workshops with experienced professionals to develop leadership skills, teaching methodologies and understand child development theory. Regular opportunities to attend talks by inspirational women in leadership positions within Cambodia are also provided throughout. Upon completion of the two-year project, they are equipped with the skills and knowledge required to develop a successful career in the education sector. In January 2023, Cohort 1 will be graduating, and SBBC will be analysing the success of the programme and recruiting the next cohort.
Embedding Mentoring Project
The Embedding Mentoring Project has been implemented in 27 schools throughout the Ex Phnom District. The project focuses on supporting the District Office of Education (DOE) in Ek Phnom to take ownership of the SeeBeyondBorders maths mentoring programme. Over the past year, during school closures, the team has worked with the DOE to build its understanding of managing the mentoring project with a focus on effective project planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. To achieve this, several DOE staff have been trained as Master Mentors and they work alongside competent teachers to deliver teacher mentoring. This has improved the quality of maths teaching. Since we commenced this project, over 100 teacher mentees have been supported by 48 Mentors and 13 Master Mentors. Once schools reopened in January 2022, the focus of the Mentoring Project was placed on supporting teachers to understand and assess children’s learning since the Pandemic. Master Mentors have been provided with ‘Training of Teachers’, training, which allows them to effectively deliver workshops and support teachers across a range of topics - mathematical concepts, assessment of learning needs, and how to adopt different teaching styles to students of varying abilities.
Systemic Capabilities
To ensure the sustainability of its interventions, SeeBeyondBorders is continuing to build its relationship with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport services at district, provincial and national levels. It identifies opportunities for collaboration and works with the Department providing assistance and support throughout, ensuring the sustainable and systemic development of the Cambodian education system. The importance of supporting Cambodian-led educational change for Cambodian teachers and children cannot be underestimated.
Community Engagement
SeeBeyondBorders works alongside teachers, families, and communities to develop a shared understanding of child well-being and safety, identifying ways to keep children safe and build mutual accountability. It supports teachers to develop their skill sets for managing large classes, whilst promoting inclusivity and placing
12
SeeBeyondBorders UK
child wellbeing at the centre of the learning process. This year, it supported 80 students in the Bavel and Angkor Thom districts through the Conditional Cash Payments (CCP) Project. The CCP Project provides support to low-income families allowing recipients to continue to provide an education for their children.
Fundraising success
Our UK fundraising team raised £ 122,202 in 2021-22 (£127,653 in 2020-21) from the UK , much of which was from new sources of funding, including support from a new corporate foundation and an anonymous individual.
We are very grateful to all the organisations that have supported SeeBeyondBorders UK over the past year, including: Souter Charitable Trust; Tula Trust, Marr-Munning trust and the Coles Medlock Foundation. We are also implementing a grant funded by Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO) through the Small Charities Challenge Fund for our Embedding Mentoring project in Cambodia.

Notes to the Accounts Year ended 30 June 2022
1 Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a) Basis of preparation
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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
SeeBeyondBorders UK meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
SeeBeyondBorders UK was holding unrestricted cash reserves of £42,031 which is considered adequate to cover the ongoing local costs of the organisation for the next 6 months and on that basis the charity is a going concern.
c) There have been no changes to accounting policy during the year.
d) There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the Charities SORP FRS 102 or FRS 102.
E) Income Recognition
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Income received in advance of provision of a specified project is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met (see note 11).
f) Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised and more information about their contribution is shown in the Trustees Report.
20
SeeBeyondBorders UK
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
g) Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
h) Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular projects or programmes.
i) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of employing staff to fundraise and associated costs.
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the funds sent to SeeBeyondBorders in Cambodia to further the purposes of the charity.
● Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
j) Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back-office costs, finance, non-programme and project related personnel, legal and governance costs which support the running of the charity. These costs have been allocated between the cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a proportional basis.
k) Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £200 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight-line basis as follows: Computer equipment – 3 years
21
SeeBeyondBorders UK
l) 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.
m) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
n) Creditors and provisions
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.
o) Pensions
Employees are entitled to join the defined contribution pension scheme operated by NEST (National Employment Savings Trust). New employees are automatically enrolled in the money purchase scheme unless they have exercised their right to opt out of scheme membership. Members joining the scheme contract directly with NEST. SeeBeyondBorders UK makes the statutory employer contribution and acts as agent in collecting and paying over employee contributions. The contributions made for the accounting period are treated as an expense and were £562 (2021 - £918).
