Board of Trustees

Governing Document

The organisation is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO), registered on 18th March 2013.

Recruitment and Induction of Trustees

All members of the Board of Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.

Trustees are selected on the basis of skills and experience in order to provide a sufficient mix amongst trustees as a whole.

Trustees are encouraged to attend Restart Parties as part of their induction, and are offered opportunities for additional training when appropriate.

Objectives and Activities

Objective

To promote, for the public benefit, the protection and safeguarding of the environment by the promotion of repair and recycling, particularly but not exclusively by promoting and facilitating the repair and reuse of electrical equipment.

Main Activities & Achievements for 2021

Although there was more stability with the Covid situation, there was still a huge impact on our work and we would like to thank all our volunteers for their fantastic support over the year.

This year, we revisited our strategy working with trustees, volunteers and many in our community. Our long term vision of seeing our relationship with electronics fixed - with communities and planet at the centre has not changed. But we took the opportunity to check our outcomes and activities were still working towards this

vision.

Covid-19 put a stop to all in-person community activity. Towards the end of the year, groups started running Restart Parties in person again both in the UK and abroad. These are community events where participants bring along their broken electrical items and repair them collaboratively with our teams of volunteers known as ‘Restarters’. We encouraged all groups to be covid-cautious

As the pandemic forced more of our daily lives online, it brought the digital divide into sharp focus. People without access to devices were left even further behind. So in January, we launched our ‘laptops for lockdown’ campaign. We ran a laptop donation scheme and listed all projects accepting donations that they upgraded and passed onto members of the community. We also worked with projects in London, our volunteers working on the devices that required a bit more attention.

We have continued our work as a partner of “Sharepair”, an EU-funded project to help build a “digital support infrastructure for citizens in the repair economy”. It runs until Spring 2023. The aim of the initiative is to reduce the amount of waste from electrical and electronic goods. A significant part of the project revolves around the development of digital tools for community repair networks, and Restart plays an important role within the project, with activities and deliverables across all our strategic objectives.

We were also successful in our funding bids to National Lottery Community Fund and Joseph Rowntree Community Trust for work in 2022. We also secured our first sponsorship agreement with e-Spares Ltd who supply spare parts.

Objective 1 - Inspire a culture change so people use stuff longer and appreciate it more

We want to encourage more people to start thinking about the entire lifecycle of their electrical devices, from resource extraction to disposal and to see this awareness reflected in their behaviour and decision-making.

Media appearances

Restart was invited to comment and appear in the media whenever Right to Repair was mentioned, meaning we were able to raise awareness of the issues and

promote our message widely.

Podcast

Our podcast continues to go from strength to strength with many varied and interesting guests and interviews. The impact and reach of our podcast is growing, increasing our influence. We surveyed our listeners and received responses from across the globe. People found the podcast from a range of sources including our social media and newsletter, guests’ social media and recommendations from a friend. People really enjoy the range and variety of topics covered:

The podcast can be heard on our website, Spotify, iTunes or you can listen live on London’s Resonance FM.

Education

We launched our interactive online activity looking at the critical raw materials inside a smartphone. This explored the full lifecycle of a mobile phone from mining the minerals and metals to make it to what happens when people get rid of it. We developed this website as part of the Replay project.

We took part in a Tate Late evening event at the Tate Modern which focused on the climate crisis. Our session involved demonstrating taking apart a mobile phone and explaining the Critical Raw Materials used inside.

Objective 2 - Everyone can participate in a local repair networks that extends the lifetimes of products

The Restart Project is working towards growing repair networks in the UK and internationally, including community repair groups, repair SMEs and companies, to promote repair best practice and to forge links between them.

Community Repair

Sadly we could not run our regular Restart Parties for much of the year. Towards the end of the year, some groups started running online Restart Parties with members of the public booking slots for their fixes. These have been very successful with all the slots fully booked and members enjoying helping. These online events offer the opportunity to attempt fixes that would not be possible in-person; at one event, Restarters helped someone connect their printer to their home wifi.

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Restart supported community groups who collect donated laptops and other tech and then redistribute it to people in need in their local communities. We maintain a list of c omputer reuse projects across the UK on our website.

We also support community groups in London, collecting laptops with more complicated repairs or upgrades and passing them to our volunteers to work on.

We were one of the founding members of the Community Repair Network (CRN), a decentralised network of community repair groups in the UK. The aim of this network is to strengthen and support grassroots repair in the UK.

Repair Businesses

We continued to build and strengthen our relationships with businesses in London, as they are an integral part of our community and a vital part of our vision for a future in which repair is thriving.

We have continued to work on our Repair Directory, a web-based app allowing members of the public to look up details of reliable repair businesses in their local

area. The businesses in the directory must be reliable and we have a set of criteria: have positive online reviews; provide a physical address; and give a warranty on their repairs.

We have expanded the Repair Directory, working with the City of London to map repair businesses in the area. We have also worked with Repair Cafe Wales to deliver a Repair Directory for the Welsh counties.

Objective 3 - Sustainable devices and effective regulation

Restart’s work on influencing policy-makers at UK and EU level aims to raise the profile of issues around product lifetime and repairability. We use our work on repair data to provide evidence in support of our campaigning work.

UK Campaigning

We launched a petition calling on the UK government to give everyone a real right to repair. This is asking for three things: allowing spare parts and repair manuals to be available to everyone not just professionals; committing to include smartphones, tablets and laptops in the government’s measures; lowering the cost of repairs by reducing VAT on repair.

We commissioned a YouGov poll in Great Britain which showed an overwhelming majority (81%) supported an extension of the right to repair for electronics. Our poll also showed widespread support for the right to repair to be extended to community repair groups (like repair cafés) and consumers. 78% of respondents who would support an expansion of the right to repair to more products say consumers and community repair groups should have the same or more rights than repair shops.

International Repair Day was on Saturday 16th October. The theme for this year was repair lowers carbon emissions . Restart celebrated with a number of events including hosting a webinar with Professor John Barrett on exploring the impact of consumption emissions, a Restart Party for UCL students and our social for volunteers on the day itself. And repair events were held worldwide including in Africa, Asia, Australia, South America and North America.

EU Campaign

The Restart Project sits on the steering committee of this campaign whose goals are:

i) products that are designed to be repairable,

ii) everyone has access to spare parts and repair manuals, and iii) consumers are informed about product repairability.

Membership to the campaign is growing steadily, with over 60 member organisations across more than 20 countries. The network of the Right to Repair campaign is made of organisations based in several European countries and representing civil society organisations, repair businesses, community repair initiatives and public institutions.

Disguised as a “fake product launch”, the campaign highlighted what would be needed for phones to last at least 10 years. As part of the campaign, we wrote a letter to the European Commission supported by leading thinkers and activists in repair alongside members of the public. The letter was co-signed by 100 organisations and more than 7000 individuals, and discussed with the Environment Commissioner during a public event

In May, the campaign organised a protest in front of the European Commission in Brussels to highlight the commission’s lack of action on making printers more repairable. The protest took place in front of a pile of over 30 broken printers Chloe arranged to be there. This action was attended by 4 Green MEPs and some press.

Data

We continue to collect data on barriers to repair with repair activists from around the world. We use this evidence to push for longer-lasting products and our Right to Repair in future policy.

In 2021, we worked on a Citizen Science project with the support of ACTION (Participatory science toolkit against pollution) which is co-funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 framework. ACTION aims to make citizen science more participatory, inclusive and citizen-led.

As part of this work, we designed and hosted a number of online microvolunteering tasks . The idea of these tasks was to engage our volunteer community to help

ensure the accuracy of the collected data, and to analyse it to provide insights we can then links to the bigger picture of our work on policy and campaigning.

In 2021, we also updated our data on measuring the environmental impact of products with support from volunteers. This is the data we use to calculate the environmental impact of repairs at community repair events. The key finding from this work is that for many new products, including laptops, blenders and smartphones, most of the impact has already occurred before we open the packaging.

We have continued to work with members of the Open Repair Alliance who have shared their data on items repaired. We led on releasing an updated version of the Open Repair Data Standard, aimed at increasing the quality of the data collected by community repair initiatives.

We have continued to work with members of the Open Repair Alliance who have shared their data on items repaired. By defining a standard way of structuring data, this allows us to combine data collected from community repair events around the world. With this, we can look for global and local trends and patterns in our repair activity, which can help us make the case for a universal right to repair. In December we led on releasing an updated version of the Open Repair Data Standard, aimed at increasing the quality of the data collected by community repair initiatives.

Organisational structure and development (including fundraising)

Organisational Structure

Day to day management of the charity was overseen by the two co-founders, one working full-time and one working part-time, and leading a core staff team: Tech & Data lead, Online Community lead, Operations lead, London Network lead, Campaigner and Communications Producer. We also worked with a growing network of freelance consultants to deliver projects. At the end of 2021, we successfully recruited for a new position, Co-Director, UK Strategy and Operations.

The Restart Project continued to be a member of the Small Charities Coalition, Good Electronics and European Environmental Bureau.

Risk Management

The Trustees considered the major risks to the organisation in regular board meetings, in light of updates from the core staff team. The full risk register is considered every six months at trustee meetings to re-evaluate if the risks have increased or decreased. These included governance risks, financial risks, staffing risks, organisational risks and external risks.

All activities run by the Restart Project were covered by its public liability insurance. Staff team and experienced volunteers regularly reviewed and improved the safety guidelines and the model risk assessment for running events.

Funding

We received funding from Interreg North West Europe for the Sharepair project. This is a new project to help build a “digital support infrastructure for citizens in the repair economy”. It runs through 2023 and supports our work with Open Repair Alliance, repair data collection, development of Restarters.net, expanding our directory of repair businesses and Fixfest.

We received funding for our work on a citizen science project with the support of ACTION (Participatory science toolkit against pollution) which is co-funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 framework. ACTION aims to make citizen science more participatory, inclusive and citizen-led.

We also received a small grant from Nominet and donations directly from members of the public towards our work in reuse of laptops and smartphones, supporting organisations to receive and upgrade donations for use in the local community.

Much of our unrestricted funds came from our consultancy work on expanding the repair directory. We also secured our first sponsorship.

Plans for 2022

We expect a busy 2022. While in-person community repair events are unlikely to resume at least until the summer, we will continue to support our community and

move forward with other parts of our work. Among the projects we are working on are:

Financial Review

Reserves

The intention of the reserve policy is to provide contingency for the following two “worst case scenarios” (which are not major concerns in the current circumstances):

In relation to cash flow we therefore need to keep sufficient cash available to pay bills and salaries in the event of late or non-payment of invoices.

Further financial review details

In 2021, The Restart Project’s income decreased with a gross income of £287,822 (2020: £488,752).

The majority of this income came from Restricted Grants totalling £157,989 (2020: £203,205) including Sharepair EU Interreg towards our data work and community development and ACTION towards data work.

We received £36,388 income from our trading activities, including £33,050 from our consultancy work, which is an increase on 2020.

We also received contributions towards the EU Right to Repair campaign.

Our total expenditure was £405,606 (2020: £389,767) with salaries and staff costs the largest outgoing.

We ended 2021 with £128,990 cash reserves which are held in our savings account and our current bank account.

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont) Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
·the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
· it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
·the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Offsetting
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or
permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Grants and donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only
occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
Legacies
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been
grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate
and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have
been met.
Government grants
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
Tax reclaims on donations
and gifts
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.
Contractual income and
performance related
grants
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the
fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the
reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at
the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet.
On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and
the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and
included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when
receivable.
Donated services and
facilities
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the
gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income
with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the
SOFA.
Support costs
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.

Volunteer help
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in
the trustees’ annual report.
Income from interest,
royalties and dividends
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be
measured reliably.
Income from membership
subscriptions
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and
Legacies.
Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits
are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from
charitable activities.
Settlement of insurance
claims
Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria
are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the
SoFA.
Investment gains and
losses
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any
gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.
2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES
Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive
obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can
be measured with reasonable certainty.
Governance and support
costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its
compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories
on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas,
or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Grants with performance
conditions
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of
service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the
recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
Grants payable without
performance conditions
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to
realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be
recognised.
Redundancy cost
The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.
Deferred income
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
Creditors
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade
discounts
Provisions for liabilities
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured
at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date
Basic financial
instruments
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph
10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19,
FRS102 SORP.
2.4 ASSETS

would not be possible without volunteers who act as hosts
and fixers, passing on their skills and knowledge to
participants. Volunteers also coordinate skillshares, events
to enable restarters to develop their skills. Restart Project
volunteers also run Rosie the Restarter events aimed at
encouraging women and non-binary people to increase
their skills and confidence and address the gender
imbalance in repair. Volunteers also assist in Restart
Project sorting and tidying data amongst other projects.
