STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Charity is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and was registered on 10 November 2014.

The charity’s constitution was signed end of October 2014 and is the document that governs the processes we follow.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The overarching aim of the Gender and Education Association is - the advancement of education for the public benefit in gender equality in the field of education with particular reference to curriculum, assessment and examinations and pedagogy and in feminist understandings of, and practices in, gender and education.

This is the broad commitment of the charity, and the way it is delivered on is shaped by the Executive Committee in place at the time, and the kinds of priorities outlined by in-coming Chairs.

During 2023/24, our work focused on the following activities:

The co-Chairs facilitated the process for seeking and reviewing the 2025 GEA Conference hosting team
Continuing to expand our membership
Continuing to host the virtual seminar series, specifically focused on celebrating our 25[th] year (having been founded in 1997)
Increased engagement and activity on the GEA website and social media
Facilitating the appointment and induction of new co-chairs (to begin their term in 2025)

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

We continued to host a virtual series of seminars organised by Executive Committee members, focused on celebrating our 25[th] anniversary
We identified the hosts for the next GEA conference in 2025 through a competitive proposal process
We launched a membership drive to coincide with preparations for the 2025 GEA conference

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Membership fees were the charity’s main source of income due to the pandemic. Our main outgoings for 2023/24 were paying our administrator and media and communication costs. We invested in bringing our membership records up-to-date and ensuring we build the necessary processes for managing this.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

Continue to increase membership numbers
Continue to diversify our membership
Continue to expand our Executive members

GENDER AND EDUCATION ASSOCIATION

Strengthen our web presence
Support the 2025 Gender & Education conference

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
