Global Impact UK has a twofold strategic intent: Firstly, to develop tax-advantaged charitable giving within the UK and provide resources to international and local charities. Secondarily, to support and build capacity for private sector and non-profit organisations based in the UK in order to grow their philanthropy and increase their effectiveness.

Global Impact UK is uniquely positioned to serve its intended purpose, to help members of the public and their employers support the work of their favourite charities, and to equip private sector and non-profit organisations with the tools and services they need to achieve their philanthropic goals.

Governance, structure and management

Trustees are selected to steer the organisation towards a sustainable future by adopting sound, ethical and legal governance, and financial management policies, as well as making sure that Global Impact UK has adequate resources to advance its mission.

responsibilities statement

with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, applicable Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations and the provisions of the governing document. 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.

Structure and management reporting

The trustees are ultimately responsible for the policies, activities and assets of the charity. They meet regularly to review developments with regard to the charity or its activities and make any important decisions. When necessary, the trustees seek advice and support from the professional advisers including investment managers, solicitors and accountants.

Governance, structure and management (continued)

Key management personnel

The trustees consider that they comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day-to-day basis. who provide back office operational support.

The trustees receive no remuneration in respect of their duties.

Risk management

The trustees undertake an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity faces categorising the risks between those affecting the governance and management of the charity, operational risks, financial risks, reputational risks and those which occur because of circumstances outside of the charity's control such as changes in government policy, laws and regulations. They regularly review the measures already in place, or needing to be put in place, to establish policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review and ensure that action is taken to implement changes to those policies, systems and procedures should they be needed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.

Having assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, the trustees believe that by monitoring reserve levels, by ensuring controls exist over key financial systems, and by examining the operational and business risks faced by the charity, they have established effective systems to mitigate those risks. Key risks for the charity, as identified by the trustees, will continue to be considered and mitigated on an ongoing basis moving forward.

Activities and performance

The charity extended its activities in the period ended 30 June 2023 in alignment with its business plan and operationalisation objectives. In addition to refining the administrative and operational processes of the organisation, Global Impact UK has prioritized expanding its portfolio of Clients, specifically providing charitable services to charitable organisations that wish to engage the charity as a Sponsor. As a Sponsor, Global Impact UK serves as the agent and receives, administers, and disburses charitable contributions from third party donors made for the purpose of carrying out projects of the Client. Global Impact UK also creates online donation pages for Clients to facilitate receiving of donations from donors.

Report of the trustees Year to 30 June 2023

Activities and performance (continued)

Global Impact UK has had the privilege to continue to support our partners as they respond continue to adapt to meet the needs of the charitable sector. Additionally, this past year, Global Impact has had the opportunity to engage with partners, prospects, and key stakeholders not only virtually but in person as well. In December 2022, Global Impact UK hosted a hybrid Board of Trustees meeting in December 2022 for the first time since before the COVID-19 pandemic and held meetings with prospective and current Clients as well. Now more than ever, we remain confident that Global Impact UK is well e

to monitor the situation and adjust their planning accordingly.

While the charity has seen a slight decline in revenue in the most recent fiscal year, we anticipate a steady increase in the coming fiscal year, allowing the charity to continue to scale, thanks to our continued support of our Clients in their charitable efforts in the UK and our renewed and dedicated focus on business development efforts.

In support of these efforts, during this period, Global Impact UK launched its newly designed website and developed customized oners, which solidified our value proposition, Global Impact UK designed a site that optimizes content and allows us to engage with prospective and current partners more effectively. With the support of the Trustees, Global Impact UK hopes to leverage the newly launched Global Impact UK website and supporting outreach materials detailing our service offerings to reinvigorate its business development efforts in the year ahead.

Furthermore, under the guidance of our Trustees, Global Impact UK continues to review of our Board of Trustees recruitment processes and is committed to diversifying membership to best reflect the charitable sector and the causes we represent. Following the election of Fatima Iqbal to the Global Impact UK Board of Trustees in December 2021 and the conclusion of their terms of founding Trustees Ann Canela and Payal Dalal in March 2022, the Trustees continue to identify potential Trustees to support Global Impact UK in its pursuit of its vision, mission, and charitable purpose. It is our intention to bring on at least 1-2 new Trustees to the board as we enter this next phase of growth by 30 April 2024 to ensure future sustainability.

Financial review

Results for the period

During the year ended year to 30 June 2023, the charity generated total income of £687,991 (2022 - £878,429) from fiscal sponsorship agreements, and total expenditure amounted to £924,285 (2022 - £1,176,091). After exchange rate gains of £20,406 (2022 losses of £8,165), the unrestricted funds totaled negative £206,393 (2022 negative £238,791) at 30 June 2023.

Reserves policy

The balance sheet as at 30 June 2023 showed negative unrestricted reserves of £206,393. These arise as a result of liabilities due to the affiliated entity Global Impact US. The charity is supported financially by Global Impact US, which has pledged not to request payment of the liabilities until the charity has sufficient funds to meet them. The future goal of the organisation is to have reserves. Progress towards this target will be reviewed and monitored annually.

Future plans

In order to achieve these strategic priorities, over the next 12-18-months, Global Impact UK will continue to establish itself as an intermediary to ensure that vulnerable populations receive access to resources through partnerships, fundraising and advisory services. The organisation will bring a unique blend of experience and philanthropic skill to the market, but will establish itself as an independent, separately run non-profit. To be successful, the Global Impact UK team, under guidance of the Trustees, will:

Principal accounting policies Year to 30 June 2023

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the accounts are laid out below.

Basis of preparation

These accounts have been prepared for the period from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023.

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or the notes to these accounts. The accounts are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest pound.

The accounts 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP (FRS 102) 2020), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

Assessment of going concern

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these accounts. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these accounts.

As at 30 June 2023, the balance sheet showed negative net assets of £206,393 (2022 net liabilities of £238,791) in unrestricted funds. These arise solely as a result of liabilities due to Global Impact US and represent the investment provided by Global Impact US for the setup of Global Impact UK. The charity is supported financially by Global Impact US, which has pledged not to request payment of the liabilities until the charity has sufficient funds to meet them.

The trustees of the charity have therefore concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees are of the opinion that the charity will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due.

Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

Other than the assessment of going concern, the preparation of the accounts did not require the trustees to make any significant judgements or estimates.

Global Impact UK CIO 13

Principal accounting policies 30 June 2023

Income recognition

Income is recognised in the period in which the charity has entitlement to the income, the amount of income can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

Income comprises donations, as well as the fees charged by the charity for the services it provides as a donor-advised fund.

Expenditure recognition

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Debtors

Debtors are recognised at their settlement amount, less any provision for non-recoverability. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash receipt where such discounting is material.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand represents such accounts and instruments that are available on demand or have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition.

Creditors

Creditors are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Creditors are recognised at the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash payment where such discounting is material.

Fund accounting

The unrestricted funds represent funds available for the general charitable purposes of the charity at the discretion of the trustees. These funds are raised through the fiscal sponsorship administration and management fees paid directly to Global Impact UK.

The restricted funds are monies donated to be redistributed to a specific organisation, thus their use is limited to the purposes intended by the donor.
