Additional governance issues (Optional information)

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant, about:

• 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;

• relationship with any related parties;

• trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them.

On appointment a Trustee is provided with an information pack including recently filed annual reports and accounts, the charity’s strategic plan, the most recent lessons learned report and is referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance – the Essential Trustee. 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. No new Trustee was appointed, and one Trustee resigned during the reporting period.

All Trustees give their time freely and no Trustee remuneration was paid during the year. The Charity has a register of interests and a conflict-of-interest policy, and Trustees withdraw from decisions should a conflict of interest arise.

All trustees undertake a basic DBS check.

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). In the process of transition to being a locally led development organisation, StudyBeyondBorders (SBB Cambodia) was registered in Cambodia on 22.02.2024 as a local non-governmental organisation (LNGO) under Cambodian law. StudyBeyondBorders Cambodia (SBBC) is the implementing partner for SBB UK. SBBC became fully operational as a locally registered organisation in January 2025. SBBC is locally led and internationally engaged.

The fundraising activities of SeeBeyondBorders UK are coordinated with the activities of SeeBeyondBorders Australia and Ireland supporting the strategic direction and plan of StudyBeyondBorders Cambodia.

The Trustees keep a risk register which is reviewed quarterly.

The Year in Review Summary of the main achievements of the charity SeeBeyondBorders UK, like many other small UK charities, has had to respond to during the year the increasingly challenging donor market and difficulty in raising unrestricted income. The review and development of a new strategy for SeeBeyondBorders UK was concluded early in 2025, with implementation of the new strategy launched at the start of the new financial year in July 2025. The new strategy includes four agreed strategic outcomes: Outcome 1: A Growing Network - Our UK network is growing in size, understanding and commitment to the SBB Mission Outcome 2: More Funding - SBBUK sets realistic fundraising targets for specific and general funds each year Outcome 3: Stronger Partnerships - SBBUK partners and collaborates with others to achieve our goals Outcome 4: Broader Development - SBBUK supports the broader development of SBB SeeBeyondBorders UK has continued to fund projects being implemented by StudyBeyondBorders Cambodia (SBBC) as well as supporting SBBC to strengthen its management and governance capacity. SBB Cambodia delivers interconnected programmes across Northwest Cambodia, currently operating in the provinces of Battambang and Siem Reap. SBB Cambodia’s strategy prioritises strengthening project effectiveness over expanding project numbers. The organisation aims to become a leader in implementing high-quality teaching and learning practices in primary education. In addition, SBB focuses on building capacity within communities and the broader education sector, working in close collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport. Through this approach, SBB seeks to contribute to sustainable, systemic change within Cambodia’s public school network. This year, more than 6,600 children in 31 schools have benefitted from the work of SeeBeyondBorders’ programmes funded by SBBUK, SBBAustralia and SBBIreland. The Core Regional Programmes are Siem Reap Province: Transform Education Programme SBBC continued to effectively implement the Transform Education programme in Kralanh and Srei Snam districts in Siem Reap Province. This three-year programme, consists of 5 specialist projects which aim to inspire and empower teachers and school leaders to drive the improvement of teaching and learning in Cambodia through Communities of Practice: 1.Leadership in Learning Project This project provides school leaders with opportunities to engage with national and international education experts to broaden their understanding of effective

SeeBeyondBorders UK

leadership. The project encourages collaboration among school leaders, teachers, and community members to achieve shared goals, ensuring that quality teaching and learning remain central to school development.

During the reporting period, numerous leadership workshops and reflective sessions were conducted with over 30 school leaders, using a Community of Practice approach to foster shared learning and collaboration. A key focus was the development of School Learning Improvement Plans (SLIPs), through which leaders worked together to create targeted, achievable strategies for enhancing their schools. Ongoing support and capacity-building visits helped school leaders translate their learning into practice, strengthening leadership across the district.

Education Inspire was piloted across SBB’s 20 partner schools in Siem Reap to strengthen connections between schools, families, and communities. Planned and led by schools, these celebratory events showcased students’ achievements and learning. 14 schools have already held successful events, with high participation and strong community engagement fostering a deeper appreciation for education.

2.Teacher Development Centre Project

Since January 2024, SBB has supported the establishment of locally led District Teacher Development Centres (TDCs) as sustainable hubs for collaborative learning, professional growth, and community engagement. These centres provide an essential platform for strengthening school leadership, enhancing teachers’ professional identity, and improving classroom practice — all contributing to long-term quality education outcomes.

Managed and maintained locally to ensure sustainability, the centres host capacity-building workshops, reflective learning sessions, advocacy events, and research collaborations with regional and international educators. Through these initiatives, TDCs are helping to transform teaching and learning thereby elevating education standards across their communities.

During the reporting period, centres in Kralanh and Srei Snam districts have been fully operational, hosting regular workshops and community meetings. The focus now is on transitioning ownership to district authorities, with TDC Committees and systems being established to ensure ongoing local management and sustainability.

3. Teacher Professional Identity Project

This project focuses on empowering teachers to realise their full potential, encouraging a shift from traditional to inquiry-based reflective approaches. By enhancing professional motivation, self-belief, and commitment, the project ensures that improvements in teaching quality — and ultimately student learning outcomes — are both meaningful and sustainable.

Structured observations show significant progress across three core areas: Classroom Culture, Socioemotional Skills, and Instruction. After just one school year, the proportion of teachers rated as “low” in these areas decreased notably compared to baseline results, demonstrating measurable improvement in teaching effectiveness.

SeeBeyondBorders UK

"Because I didn't have the opportunity to study much myself, I made it a priority to support my children through to their university graduation. I'm so proud to see how hard they worked, and now I encourage my grandchildren to study just as their uncles did—because education is truly vital for our future." Grandmother

4. Maths Teacher Mentoring Project

This Project equips teachers with new, effective approaches to teaching mathematics in the classroom. Through ongoing mentoring and coaching, teachers develop the confidence and skills to better respond to their students’ learning needs. As their capacity grows, so too does their enthusiasm and enjoyment for teaching maths, creating more engaging and effective learning environments.

As more students achieve higher levels of mathematical competence, long-term benefits such as increased retention rates — particularly in rural and remote communities — are expected.

In its first year, the project has already demonstrated strong results: an average of 39% more students across all grades are now achieving minimum proficiency levels in mathematics compared to before the intervention.

5. Literacy Teacher Mentoring Project

Implemented in November 2024, the Literacy Project focuses on strengthening teachers’ professional knowledge and skills in literacy instruction. Adapted from SeeBeyondBorders’ successful Literacy Project in Ek Phnom District, Battambang, it introduces globally recognised approaches and methodologies that have been adapted and tested for teaching Khmer literacy. As teachers gain confidence in applying these methods, they are empowered to choose and implement the techniques that best support their students’ learning, improving overall literacy outcomes.

In its first few months, the project has focused on conducting assessments, delivering introductory workshops, and providing core training on the fundamentals of literacy teaching, aligned with the Ministry of Education’s national curriculum. Baseline testing has highlighted a clear need for improvement in this area, and we are confident that data-driven progress will

11

SeeBeyondBorders UK

become evident as the project develops. Encouragingly, teachers have already expressed strong positive feedback, noting greater student engagement and enthusiasm in the classroom.

"I was initially skeptical about using phonetics in teaching literacy, but workshops helped me see its logic and potential. I love how the SBB Literacy Package encourages students to build their own word banks and develop writing ideas through reading big books and independent writing. It’s very early to see major growth now, but I am very happy to see how much my students can write and how much they enjoy learning with the SBB project.” Grade 2, Teacher

Battambang Province: Quality Teaching Programme

SBB Cambodia has implemented the Quality Teaching Programme in Ek Phnom District, Battambang Province, for over ten years. The programme focuses on developing confident and competent communities of teachers who are committed to quality teaching, ongoing professional development, and the adoption of best-practice teaching methodologies. To ensure success and continuous improvement, teachers require more than just workshops — they need ongoing support to help them apply their learning effectively in the classroom.

This year, our interventions in Battambang have gradually transitioned greater ownership to school leadership and the District Office of Education, ensuring continued impact for years to come. Teachers are now more confident, better equipped with quality resources and technology, and empowered to lead and inspire future generations of students.

Under the programme, there are two core projects:.

1.Educational Technology Project

The aim is to embed technology effectively in classrooms, empowering teachers to create more engaging and interactive learning experiences for students.

During the reporting period, the project focused on transitioning ownership to local schools, supported closely by the District Office of Education. This milestone marks an important step toward sustainability, enabling SBB to gradually shift from direct implementation to a supportive, capacity-building role. Teachers, school leaders, and government officials are now increasingly prepared to lead the future of EdTech-enhanced teaching and learning in the district.

Over the year, SBB trained and supported 49 Cambodian primary school teachers and 18 school leaders from 11 schools in Ek Phnom District, improving learning opportunities for over 1,500 children. A key focus has been the ongoing enhancement of the Moodle platform, which serves as a central hub for all digital teaching, mentoring, and professional development resources. This platform remains accessible to teachers in Ek Phnom, supporting continued learning and professional growth. It also plays a vital role in the expansion of EdTech initiatives into Siem Reap Province, ensuring the programme’s long-term

12

SeeBeyondBorders UK

sustainability and impact.

2. Educational Changemaker Project

The project is a two-year course designed to empower Cambodian women to become the next generation of educational leaders. Passionate graduates gain the skills, confidence, and community support needed to create meaningful change within Cambodia’s education sector.

As part of their training, participants are placed in primary schools across Ek Phnom District, where they work alongside supervising teachers. During these placements, the Changemakers observe and apply effective teaching methodologies and classroom management practices, strengthening their practical experience.

In January 2025, Cohort 2 of the Educational Changemaker Project successfully graduated. Each participant completed the programme equipped with the knowledge and tools to pursue impactful careers in education — with all graduates now employed by development organisations across Cambodia. We look forward to following their continued journeys as they lead positive change in educational leadership nationwide.

SeeBeyondBorders UK

Notes to the Accounts Year ended 30 June 2025 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 £47,315 which is considered adequate to cover the ongoing local costs of the organisation for the next 12 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.

19

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, nonprogramme 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

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.

20

SeeBeyondBorders UK

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. There was no contributions made for the accounting period since we did not have any staff (2024 - £589).
