TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st May 2022
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
GOVERNING DOCUMENTS
The organization is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 24th of May 2012. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed by its Articles of Association. In the event of the charitable company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding 10.
RECRUITMENT AND APPOINTMENT OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
The Charity has a membership, which is open to anyone with a genuine wish to assist in enhancing the wellbeing of those affected by online bullying and hate campaigns. The majority of members are volunteer workers, those that support our cause or those that have been affected by digital abuse.
The constitution lays down that Trustees are appointed from within this membership. However, if an eligible person is recommended, proposed and seconded by members they can be put forward for election as a Trustee provided that they become a member of the Charity.
A Trustee may serve for a maximum period of three years, after which she/he must stand down and, if willing, seek re-election after having been duly proposed and seconded by members. Trustees are appointed at the Annual General Meeting. This is done by a show of hands or ballot if the number of nominations exceeds the vacancies. All nominated Trustees have to be approved by the existing Board of Trustees prior to the Annual General Meeting.
TRUSTEE INDUCTION AND TRAINING
Trustees are mainly members and an induction course for them is unnecessary. Any new Trustee who is not a member is given full details of the aims of the Charity and his/her duties and responsibilities and is interviewed by the Director and Secretary of the Charity. All Trustees are issued with copies of the Articles of Association, the Memorandum of Association, the Directors and Secretaries Guide from Companies House and the Responsibilities of Charity Trustees from the Charity Commission.
RESERVES POLICY STATEMMENT Currently, The Cybersmile does not hold any funds as reserves due to lack of any considerable overheads or financial commitments that could potentially put the operational functionality of the charity at risk. Essential Cybersmile operations are safeguarded by ensuring all operational costs are covered for periods of between 12 and 24 months. Operations are flexible in their nature, to allow for streamlining when required.
Regular finance meetings ensure that fundraising activities and sponsorship acquisition targets are met and that future planning for sustainable funding is being implemented. The Reserves Policy Statement will be reviewed at least once per annum by the board of directors.
SAFEGUARDING
With the welfare of service users, employees and volunteers being the charity’s prime objective, the anticipation and elimination of risk is fundamental to our day-to-day activities. All volunteers and members who connect with our service users follow safeguarding guidelines and policies for reducing risk. All statutory requirements of the appropriate insurances are kept current and are regularly reviewed by The Trustees to this effect.
ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE
Mr. C Dugmore is the Director of the charity and acts as Chairman of the Board of Trustees, who are responsible for policy decisions.
The Articles of Association state that there shall normally be not less than three and not more than twelve Trustees.
Implementation of policy, human resource issues, financial administration and the day- to-day operation of the Charity is the responsibility of the Director, assisted by staff and volunteer workers.
RELATED PARTIES
In developing the Charity and our related user services we have formed working relationships with the following organizations.
UKCCIS – UK Council for Child Internet Safety, The Diana Award, NSPCC – National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, CEOP – Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre, The Samaritans, The All-Party Parliamentary Group For Bullying, The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Young People and Tech,

THE CYBERSMILE FOUNDATION – WHAT WE DO
The Cybersmile Foundation is a multi-award-winning anti-cyberbullying non-profit organization. Committed to tackling all forms of digital abuse, harassment and bullying online, we work to promote diversity and inclusion by building a safer, more positive digital community.
Through education, innovative awareness campaigns and the promotion of positive digital citizenship we reduce incidents of cyberbullying and through our professional help and support services we empower victims and their families to regain control of their lives. Founded in 2010, Cybersmile has grown to become the world’s leading anti-cyberbullying non-profit organization. Registered as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization in the U.S. and as a registered charity in the U.K. – Cybersmile provides expert support, resources and consultancy to individuals, governments, corporations and educational institutions around the world.
Our educational programs, support services and messages of hope and positivity reach millions of people around the world each year, whilst maintaining our core values of integrity, equality and compassion – the Cybersmile hallmark.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is a simple one; we believe that everybody should have the right to access and enjoy the benefits that our new connected digital world offers – without the fear of bullying, threats and abuse.
Unfortunately, cyberbullying, harassment and digital abuse is increasing, holding many back from enjoying the benefits that access to the internet can provide. Our current online environment lacks the balance and social rules of engagement that have been cultivated over generations, governing the behaviour and relationships in the communities where we live, play and work – the physical world.
The Cybersmile Foundation are committed to helping everyone realize their true potential by supporting those that are bullied and abused online, changing the behaviour of the bullies themselves and through education – preparing this and further generations for a safe and positive digital future.
PERFORMANCE AND ACHIEVEMENTS 2021-2022
GLOBAL SUPPORT SERVICES
Our advisors and support resources enable us to engage with the victims of cyberbullying and online abuse - to find solutions and positive outcomes that will enable them to deal effectively with the experiences that they have gone through and to empower them with the tools, knowledge and confidence to move on.
As access to our online world grows across, the issues facing internet users continue to affect more people. To meet the ever-growing need for support, education and advisory support services, we have continued to develop our support services with a focus on scope, scalability and accessibility.
Our main resources and services are comprised of key areas of activity which allow us to maximise our reach and our digital response capabilities. These include:
Cybersmile Assistant
Cybersmile Assistant, our interactive AI based smart assistant continues to provide internet users from all demographics with instant access to advice, information for issues such as cyber bullying and online abuse, anxiety, mental health, body image, cyberbullying, selfesteem, eating disorders and much more. This year we have continued to enhance and expand the scope of content, guidance and information that we deliver. This includes an accessibility audit which will be used to improve access for existing users as well as expanding our reach.
Help@Cybersmile.org
Help@Cybersmile.org is dedicated advisory support service which provides users with oneto-one email support via our trained advisors. Our trained online advisors provide support for internet users of all ages around the world, 24 hrs a day, 365 days a year. Many of the enquiries we receive require ongoing support to deal with problems they may be experiencing online and our advisor team work together to provide practical effective advice and facilitate access to professional support for the ever-increasing and complex range of issues associated with cyberbullying and other online harms.
All enquiries are dealt with confidentially on a one-to-one basis by allocated advisors who are in turn supported by our Advisor Supervision Team, ensuring that all users are given effective advisory support and direction to approved information and resources.

All awareness campaigns and promotions are supported and amplified through our network of followers, supporters, volunteers and influencers, who help us to spread our messaging around the world online throughout the year. Some of our highlights and most successful campaigns this year include:

Research Partnership Campaigns
As part of our work with corporate partners, we launched national report in partnership with Co. by Colgate, focusing on the prevalence and emotional impact of identity-based cyberbullying on Gen Z in the U.S.
In addition to offering powerful insights into the realities of life online for Gen Z, ‘The State of Play Report’ also contains expert advice for being a better digital citizen, best practice tips for dealing with cyberbullying as an intended target as well as a bystander and a series of direct links to Cybersmile education and support resources.
In September 2021 we launched the “Online Bullying Hurts IRL,” global initiative created to bring deeper awareness to the personal toll of online bullying and promote digital wellbeing. The campaign, a collaboration with brand partner Urban Decay, was part of a 3- year incentive to guide and educate the brand’s consumers, fans and corporate community across the brand’s website and social channels.
The core of this global initiative was to recognize the very tangible and negative impacts that result from both seemingly innocent teasing to very severe, obvious bullying in a effort to help make the Internet and social media a space that is safe for all – educating consumers, fans and employees, enabling them to recognize the signs, responsibly intervene and positively change the conversation.
Testimonials from our brand sponsors and corporate partners.
“Working alongside Cybersmile has allowed us to continue the vital work that Hope United kickstarted last year: to tackle online hatred and cyberbullying that is sadly part of everyday life. We’re also incredibly excited to further support grassroots football communities across the UK as part of our long-term partnership with the four UK home nations football associations to up-skill millions of players, coaches and fans.” Pete Jeavons, Marketing Communications Director, BT.
“Social media can be such a powerful place for good. A place where we learn from each other. A place where we can be allies together. Unfortunately, it is also a place that gives scale to online bullying, which hurts in real life. This partnership to help educate our community is not just a moment for us, it’s a constant commitment to be changemakers where we can help empower our community to stand up in their indifference.” Malena Higuera, General Manager, Urban Decay Cosmetics.
“Here at ST. Moriz we are passionate about encouraging body positivity and positive selfimage. Cyberbullying is the increase and we have heard first-hand the effect that it can have on people’s self-esteem and feelings of self-worth. We want to demonstrate to our customers that we don’t just say, we do. Therefore, we are thrilled to announce our new partnership with Cybersmile and we hope that we can be part of preventing cyberbullying and can encourage people to be kind online.”
Belinda Parkinson, Senior Brand Manager, St. Moriz

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/05/2022
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CYBERSMILE FOUNDATION
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31/05/2022 .
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Chartered Institute of Management Accountants .
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31/05/2022
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CYBERSMILE FOUNDATION
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31/05/2022 .
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Chartered Institute of Management Accountants .
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
