-
policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees;
-
the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works;

There can be 3-10 Trustees serving at any one time, and at least two meetings will be held each year. In practice the trustees hold 4 meetings per year. One new Trustee was appointed, and two Trustees resigned during the reporting period.

SeeBeyondBorders UK (SBB UK) is part of the SeeBeyondBorders network, supporting the work on the ground in Siem Reap and Battambang where programmes and leadership are located. The broader network, in addition to SBB UK, also comprises SeeBeyondBorders Australia (SBB Australia) and SeeBeyondBorders Ireland (SBB Ireland). Historically, for practical and legal purposes, operations in Cambodia were formally constituted as a 'branch' of SBB Australia (SeeBeyondBorders Cambodia). However, as part of transitioning to being a locally led development organisation, StudyBeyondBorders has been registered in Cambodia as a local non-governmental organisation (LNGO) under Cambodian law. SBBUK is working with its network members to support StudyBeyondBorders as it strengthens its governance and management capacity and takes over the day-to-day programme operations from SeeBeyondBorders Cambodia in the next 6 to 12 months.
The fundraising activities of SeeBeyondBorders UK are coordinated with the activities of SeeBeyondBorders Australia and Ireland supporting the strategic direction and plan of SeeBeyondBorders Cambodia.
The Trustees keep a risk register which is reviewed at least annually.

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The Year in Review
SeeBeyondBorders UK like many other small UK charities has had to respond to the increasingly challenging donor market and difficulty in raising unrestricted income by reducing its operating costs through a staffing restructure. Underperformance against our fundraising strategy and targets has triggered the trustees to undertake a strategic review. The review and development of the new strategy for SeeBeyondBorders UK will be concluded early in 2025. SeeBeyondBorders UK is working with the other network members to best understand how the UK can continue to most effectively support SeeBeyondBorders Cambodia as it transfers operations to the new local NGO StudyBeyondBorders Cambodia.
SeeBeyondBorders UK has continued to fund projects being implemented by SeeBeyondBorders Cambodia.
In excess of 4,660 children in 35 schools have benefited directly from the work of SeeBeyondBorders’ programmes in Cambodia this year.
Siem Reap Province: Transform Education Programme
A new Transform Education programme was launched in Kralanh and Srei Snam districts in Siem Reap Province, which aims to inspire and empower teachers and school leaders to drive the improvement of teaching and learning through Communities of Practice.
The programme comprises five specialist projects, some of which started implementing activities during the reporting period.
Leadership in Learning Project
The project facilitates school leaders to have opportunities to observe and interact with national and international education sector leaders and to participate in experiences designed to expand their understanding of successful leadership. School leaders, teachers and community members will actively work together to achieve common goals as quality teaching and learning become the priority in school development plans.
Four leadership workshops and three reflective sessions were held with 32 school leaders, using a Community of Practice approach. Capacity-building visits to schools were conducted, where school leaders were assisted in putting their leadership learning into practice.

SeeBeyondBorders UK
Teacher Development Centre Project
The centres are re-purposed existing school rooms which are used to host capacity building workshops and training; reflective learning sessions; advocacy events, community gatherings and research collaborations among regional, national, and international educators. The centres have immense potential to drive transformative improvements in the quality of teaching and learning in schools and ultimately elevate the overall standard of education within the community.
Centres have been opened both in the Kralanh and Srei Snam districts, with workshops and community meetings taking place there. The centre in Srei Snam district is fully complete, with further updates and work scheduled for the Kralanh district centre during the next financial year.
Teacher Professional Identity Project
This project is grounded in the evidence that Cambodian teachers are aspirational for themselves and their students. When teachers have the confidence to go beyond the traditional view of teaching and learning, they can develop a dynamic, inquiry-based perception of ‘what makes a good teacher’
“I feel very confident and inspired by the value of lessons from SeeBeyondBorders. I hope we can support other educators in the district, to also improve their capacity and increase learning outcomes for students.” Chorn Bai: Deputy Director, District Office of Education, Srei Snam
Maths Teacher Mentoring Project
This project is designed to enable teachers to adopt alternative methods for teaching maths and use them in their classrooms. Ongoing mentoring equips teachers to better respond to their students’ needs, and as they build their skills, they have more enthusiasm and enjoyment for teaching maths.
Literacy Teacher Mentoring Project
Scheduled to begin in November 2024, the Literacy project will focus on improving teachers’ professional knowledge and skills in literacy teaching.
Battambang Province: Quality Teaching Programme
SBBC has implemented the Quality Teaching programme in Ek Phnom District for over ten years. This programme is focused on
10
SeeBeyondBorders UK
developing confident and competent communities of teachers, who are committed to quality teaching, ongoing professional development and developing best practice teaching methodologies.
Under the programme, there are three core projects including Literacy, Educational Technology, and Educational Changemaker projects.
Literacy Project
The programme's overall goal is to support teachers in learning effective teaching methodologies and strategies to enable their students to reach minimum proficiency levels in literacy. Launched in 2017, the Literacy project was implemented in Ek Phnom, supporting 29 teachers to improve their literacy teaching through workshops and classroom mentoring, enabling teachers to use a multiple strategies approach to literacy education, significantly improving learning outcomes for 1,704 children.
This project came to an end in December 2023, with extensive project evaluation carried out until March 2024. When comparing literacy assessment results from control schools to those from schools participating in the Literacy project, the disparity between the percentage of students who achieved Minimum Proficiency Levels is evidence of the impact of SeeBeyondBorders’ engagement. In Ek Phnom, the percentage of students in participating schools who achieved Minimum Proficiency Levels for literacy was 1.8 times higher than in control schools .
Educational Technology Project
This project is focused on effectively embedding technology in classrooms, allowing teachers to create more engaging and interactive learning experiences for students. This has also addressed gaps in student learning by using tailored formative assessment tools and training, resulting in 97% of students reporting that they enjoy being taught using educational technology in their classrooms.
The EdTech project has trained and supported 52 Cambodian primary school teachers and 24 teacher mentors from 11 schools in Ek Phnom District, Battambang Province, enhancing education for 1,556 children. Within this, 23 literacy teachers have enhanced their skills in utilising technology to engage students in learning and improve their learning outcomes. This year, 29 maths teachers and 24 mentors have embarked on their first year of using EdTech for maths teaching and mentoring.
11
SeeBeyondBorders UK
A new Moodle platform was launched which will serve as a central hub for all digital teaching, mentoring, and continuous professional development resources.
Educational Changemaker Project
Based in Battambang province, this is a two-year course for graduates that enables Cambodian women to develop a toolkit to become future educational leaders. Participants spend time in primary schools in Ek Phnom District, each with a supervising teacher for support. While in classrooms they observe teaching methodologies and effective classroom management.
In March 2023, ten new aspiring leaders started the two-year course. They will complete a master’s degree in education, attend workshops to develop leadership skills, teaching methodologies and meet with a variety of inspirational Cambodian women. “The Educational Changemaker project has provided me with a unique opportunity for personal and professional development, allowing me to contribute to my community. I gained valuable technical skills in teaching numeracy and literacy that are not available elsewhere and I hope to use this knowledge to benefit my community and those around me.” Phalla, Changemaker Cohort 2
The Professional Identity for Khmer Teachers (“PIKT”) Research Project
PIKT is an international collaborative research project conducted over two years by four partners: The National College of Ireland, Ministry of Education, Youth & Sport, Phnom Penh Teacher Education College and SeeBeyondBorders The research investigates how teachers in Cambodia — specifically in Battambang province — can be enabled to improve their teaching practice and engage in a path of professional development.
First beginning in 2022, through classroom observations and interviews with teachers, data is gathered, to help measure teacher effectiveness and opportunities for improvement of teaching practice in Cambodia. With all the data now gathered, the research team are now focused on effectively collating and preparing to present this data during the next financial period.

SeeBeyondBorders UK
Notes to the Accounts Year ended 30 June 2024
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 £42,851 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 10).
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.
18
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 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
19
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 £589 (2023 - £841).
