## **Equality and Inclusion Partnership (EQuIP)**
## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The principle activity of the Equality and inclusion Partnership is to promote equality and diversity for the public benefit by:
- (a) The elimination of discrimination on the grounds of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation;
- (b) Advancing education and raising awareness in equality and diversity;
- (c) Promoting activities to foster good relations between people of diverse backgrounds;
- (d) Conducting or commissioning research on equality and diversity issues and publishing the results to the public;
- (e) Advancing equality and diversity of opportunity for all.
## **Public benefit**
As part of the updated Charities Act 2006 all charities need to promote and show how public benefit is being addressed. All activities are undertaken to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit, therefore the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Achievements and performance**
As we reflect on the past year of the Equality Services Contract, from 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2023, we are pleased to present the annual report of the Equality and Inclusion Partnership (EQuIP). In a year marked by both challenges and triumphs, we have strived to make tangible progress toward the ideal of a county where equality, diversity and inclusion is celebrated and discrimination is eradicated.
## **A Year of Resilience and Progress**
Over the past year, Warwickshire continued to grapple with an array of complex social, economic, and political challenges. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the Cost of Living Crisis has underscored existing inequalities and tested our collective resilience. EQuIP, dedicated to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion, recognised the urgency of its mission in the face of these challenges. Our work this year was guided by a profound sense of responsibility to advocate for marginalised communities and to ensure that the principles of equity remained at the forefront of public discourse.
## **Promoting Inclusivity**
One of the fundamental pillars of our work at EQuIP is to foster inclusivity at all levels of society. In 2022-2023, we made significant strides in this area. During the year, we revamped and relaunched the countywide Equality Network, which currently has a membership of 24 partner agencies from the public and voluntary sectors. We also launched awareness campaigns through our involvement in the Warwickshire Hate Crime Partnership and training initiatives designed to raise awareness of hate and methods of reporting. Furthermore, this year, we launched the Equality Refresher sessions, designed to support Equality Network partners to challenge discrimination, biases and improve awareness of cultural nuances and sensitivities among our diverse communities. These efforts are helping to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all residents in Warwickshire.

## **Report of the Trustees**
## **for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Advancing Equality**
The pursuit of equality is central to our mission and EQuIP remained committed to addressing systemic disparities in various areas. From healthcare access to education, housing to employment, EQuIP has been actively involved in advocating for policy changes and supporting initiatives that address these inequalities. By collaborating with Warwickshire County Council, Warwickshire Police, other partners and engaging with the community, we have been able to make progress towards dismantling some of the barriers that perpetuate disparities.
## **Diversity Celebrated**
At EQuIP, we firmly believe that diversity is one of humanity's greatest strengths. This year, we celebrated the rich tapestry of backgrounds, cultures, and experiences that make our county vibrant and diverse. Through events, dialogues, and focused projects, we brought our community closer together, fostering a sense of unity and mutual understanding.
## **Championing Accessibility**
Accessibility is a cornerstone of inclusion. EQuIP has strived to break down the barriers that impede participation for individuals with disabilities. This year, we launched campaigns to raise awareness of accessibility issues and worked closely with local partners and agencies to ensure that physical and digital spaces are accessible to all. Our efforts culminated in the creation of a Disability Forum that serves as a valuable resource for both individuals with disabilities and organisations striving to be more inclusive.
Our key achievements during the year 2022-23 include:
- 59 discrimination cases dealt with during the year
- Cases from across all 5 districts
- 27% of cases are Disability
- 53% of cases are Race
- 19 hate crime reports
- 32% of hate crime reports are Race
- 26% of hate crime reports are Sexual Orientation
- Identified 144 community equality issues
-
- Trained 1926 individuals on subjects within the context of equality, diversity and inclusion.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Our financial positioning**
As we reflect on the financial year that has passed, it is with transparency and a commitment to our mission that we share insights into the deficit incurred by EQuIP. While financial setbacks are never easy, we believe it is essential to communicate the circumstances that led to this deficit, as well as the strategic decisions taken to navigate these challenges.
One of the primary drivers of the deficit was our deliberate refocus of efforts in alignment with securing the Equality Services contract from our main funder.
Securing the Equality Services contract, however, came with its own set of challenges. The process demanded an in-depth reassessment of our services to meet the new and evolving specifications stipulated in the contract. This required a significant investment of time and resources to ensure that our services and initiatives aligned seamlessly with the contract's mandates. As we navigated this process, our organisation faced the inevitable consequence of diverting attention away from income generation activities.
Historically, our financial stability has been fortified by a robust income generation strategy. However, the demands of adapting our services to meet the specifications of the contract meant that less time could be dedicated to traditional income-generating activities. This shift in focus, while necessary for the long-term sustainability of our mission, did impact our short-term financial health.
It is crucial to emphasise that while the deficit represents a temporary setback, the strategic decisions made were instrumental in securing the Equality Services contract and positioning EQuIP as a leader in promoting equality, diversity and inclusion.
As we move forward, we are rededicating ourselves to a balanced approach that not only upholds our mission but also ensures the financial sustainability of EQuIP. This includes a renewed focus on diversifying our income streams and optimising operational efficiency without compromising the core principles that define us.
## **Reserves policy**
The Board of Trustees considers that, given the need to ensure the completion of long term projects and protect the work of the Charity, reserves should be set at a level equivalent to three months of the Charity's general expenditure.
The Charity currently holds reserves of £82,441 comprising solely of general funds. Of these general funds, £446 is currently invested in fixed assets, leaving free reserves of £81,995.
## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE**
As we reflect on the past year, we acknowledge the significant progress made, but we also recognise that there is much work yet to be done. The ongoing struggle for equality, diversity and inclusion remains at the forefront of our efforts, and we are eager to continue the journey with renewed commitment and enthusiasm.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Warwickshire County Council, Warwickshire Police, all our partners, supporters, and the community for their unwavering commitment to our cause. It is your continued support that drives us to strive for a world, a country and a county, where everyone is treated with fairness, respect, and dignity.
This achievements of EQuIP are testament to the collective power of community-driven change, and it is with great hope and determination that we look ahead to the future, forging a path towards a more inclusive, equitable, and harmonious society. Together, we can achieve our vision of a society that embraces diversity, where people live and work equally in peace and harmony.
