The Board of Trustees is extremely grateful to every single person who contributed to bring the CatalyticAction’s vision and ambitions to reality, such as volunteers who offered vital contributions to the charity's activities. The Board of Trustees would also like to thank all of the donors who believed in the charity’s vision and financially supported its activities. Since 2015, CatalyticAction has been able to support disadvantaged and disenfranchised communities through 41 projects, bringing positive change to thousands of people. In particular, it has brought essential educational spaces to over 8,500 vulnerable children. In the year 2020-2021, the charity initiated 11 new projects, of which 6 were completed in 2021 and 5 will be completed in 2022. The charity also continued working on 1 ongoing research project. The number of new built projects has increased drastically compared to 2019-2020 because: - Covid-19 restrictions eased. - Increased need for built projects following the Beirut port blast on the 4[th] August 2020.

Page 4/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org ## Risk Management Trustees perform periodic review of the risks facing the charity and put measures in place to mitigate the risks. The principal risks identified are programmatic risks and compliance risks. The Board of Trustees together with the Senior Management Team assess the risks of any new project before allocating financial resources to it. Before entering a new partnership, the charity conducts a partner assessment. When working overseas, we seek advice from FCO as well as from local sources and work with our local partners to assess the risks of each new project. Context analysis and conflict sensitivity approaches are the foundation of the development of our interventions. CatalyticAction carries out a health and safety risk assessment for each project. In response to the covid-19 pandemic, CA developed health and safety procedures to be able to continue to conduct participatory activities while respecting social distancing and other procedures aimed at limiting the spread of covid-19. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety standards for the charity staff and volunteers undertaking work on behalf of CatalyticAction. These procedures always comply with local laws and guidelines as well as best international practices. CatalyticAction follows research ethics and data protection procedures which have been developed in line with UK and local regulations. Policies and procedures are in place to ensure the safety of vulnerable children and adults who are engaged directly or indirectly in the work of the charity. CA trains staff and any person doing work on behalf of the charity to comply with the charity’s policies and procedures. CatalyticAction is insured to cover staff travelling overseas. The insurance policy has been specifically tailored to the charity’s activities to cover employer’s liability insurance, public liability insurance and trustee liability insurance.

We do so by empowering vulnerable children and their communities through participatory built interventions. We champion the co-production of dignified built environments where everyone can take part in the creation of equitable, inclusive and sustainable communities. We achieve this through practical projects in: - Humanitarian architecture - Multidisciplinary research Our work has a direct positive impact on: - **Children’s wellbeing** : We aim to improve children’s wellbeing through the process of co-design, creating safe and nurturing places that address their needs, acknowledge their rights and materialise their desires. - **Social Cohesion** : Our projects enhance a sense of belonging and inclusion between diverse groups of people as they come together throughout the project cycle. - **Local economy** : We create job opportunities and boost the local economy by hiring local labourers, adopting context-appropriate technologies and purchasing local materials. - **Built environment** : Our projects create and rehabilitate spaces, delivering good quality sustainable and cost-effective built interventions that are dignified and inclusive to all community members. The following four **values** are embedded in our approach: - Valuing local knowledge - Capacity building - Supporting local economy - Enabling equal engagement Page 7/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org ## Significant activities CatalyticAction’s primary charitable contribution is to equip communities with skills in participatory design and construction to empower them to alleviate conditions of poverty and inequalities. During this financial year, CatalyticAction has been focusing its activities on providing educational facilities that can provide long-term impact for the communities involved. CatalyticAction has also worked on a number of research projects, for which the overall aim was to develop the charity’s knowledge of topics that are strictly linked to the charity’s practice. Engaging in research also aimed at influencing partners’ research practices towards a more participatory engagement of communities that looks at how can empowerment be achieved through physical interventions. _Figure 3 – Neighbourhood intervention in Karantina, Beirut_ Page 8/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org ## Achievements and Performance In the year 2020-2021 CatalyticAction worked on 12 distinct projects, including 3 research projects (of which one started in 2018). All of the projects, including research, involved extensive activities of community engagement. For built projects, community members and local partners were involved in the design process from inception to implementation. This approach ensured the long-term sustainability of the projects as both community members and local partners acquired knowledge and skills essential for their long-term operation. CatalyticAction monitors implemented projects with the support of its local partners. Monitoring and evaluation is carried out mostly through qualitative interviews by our local partners. As they are the ones who will use the spaces built by CatalyticAction on a daily basis, they can provide valuable feedback on the operation of the projects implemented. The charity also follows up directly on projects by conducting regular site visits. The projects Karantina Neighbourhood Intervention Beirut _December 2020 – June 2021 (7 months)_ The Karantina neighbourhood intervention is a project developed to provide the area’s residents with a safe, inclusive and playful public space. In Karantina, the availability of safe and accessible public space is highly lacking - as is the case in much of Beirut. By transforming an area of neglected and unused public land into a safe and child friendly public space, this project seeks to tackle this absence. To ensure the space accurately reflects both the needs and desires of its users, the project employed co-design methods that allowed the neighbourhood’s diverse voices to be heard. ## Phase 1 – Identifying the site of intervention The first phase of this project involved finding a suitable space for the intervention to be carried out. To do this we used various selection methodologies including participatory observation, mapping, and interviewing local community members and key stakeholders to find plots of public land that would ensure accessibility to all. ## Phase 2 – Participatory design process The project began with a community clean-up activity as the site was filled with rubbish and it was important to start activating the space so that the visualisation and transformation of the space could begin. With the help of volunteers, recruited citizen scientists and the CatalyticAction team, the site was gradually cleared. The clean-up of the space also provided an opportunity for us to ask children and other residents what they’d like from this new space. Page 9/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org After the clean-up and focused research of the space and its surroundings, our team put together a preliminary design to be shown to Karantina’s residents at a community design consultation on site. The consultation allowed us to gauge the different priorities of the community and what they sought from the space. This included calls for greenery, seating areas in the shade, lighting to keep women safe, and a safe place that could be used by all age groups. ## Phase 3 – Technical design In response to this consultation, we identified three priorities that informed the final design of the space: a space that was child friendly, leisure infrastructure that could be used by all and somewhere that felt safe. The public space was thus designed to create a safe space that both enabled adults to gather with their friends and children to have a fun and exciting place to play. We encouraged this by designing features that could be left to the interpretation of their users. ## Phase 4 – Construction For the construction phase of the project, we hired workers from the local area, including residents who lived in the building by the site. Throughout the process we also negotiated with residents in the immediate surrounding to ensure that decisions around the construction worked for everyone. _Figure 4 - Neighbourhood intervention in Karantina, Beirut_ Page 10/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org Since the space has opened it has been exciting to see how children and other residents have chosen to use each of its elements. Their new ways of interacting with it continue to surprise us. But, most of all we’re pleased that this space is an area Karantina’s residents can use without needing to abide by opening hours and prohibitive restrictions. We hope it will mark the beginning of similar interventions that ensure the neighbourhood’s streets are safe and welcoming for its children and their families to enjoy. This Karantina Neighbourhood Intervention was implemented in parallel with the Karantina Participatory Spatial Intervention (Karantina PSI) research project. Part of the GCRF project “Assessing vulnerabilities for urban recovery solutions in Beirut post-explosion” with the Relief centre, IGP and DPU at UCL, this project aims to ensure a longer participatory process with residents by following an inclusive citizen science approach. These citizen scientists continue to monitor the use of this spatial intervention, to learn from it for future interventions and to reflect on the benefit of co-design processes for Beirut’s recovery.

It sought to address children’s needs post-explosion by engaging them in a series of weekly activities that explored their relationship with space, and the environment around them. _Kan Ya Makan_ means once upon a time, with a play on the Arabic words, _Kan Ya Makan_ emphasises place - _Makan_ . Building on the idea of storytelling, this project was about children co-creating environments through narratives. The project included the creation of “ _Beit Byoot”_ - an outdoor child friendly safe space designed with the children. Page 11/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org _Figure 5 - Safe Space in Karantina Park, Beirut_ Throughout Karantina’s difficult history, the recent 4th of August blast has been one of the most distressing and destructive events that the neighbourhood has experienced. It not only impacted the neighbourhood’s built infrastructure, but it has also had a profound effect on people’s safety, security and wellbeing. Plan International warned of the particular impact this crisis could have on children’s mental health, highlighting the urgency for psychosocial support to address their needs. Through the Kan Ya Makan program, we have sought to support children through these challenging circumstances. Kan Ya Makan is a child-led program that was designed to engage children in a creative journey of storytelling, arts, play, and spatial intervention. It sought to encourage exploration and enable children to express their visions for the spatial environments around them. The program unfolded with children reflecting on their personal and collective experiences of space. The stories that emerged throughout this process allowed them to express themselves and form new relationships with their community as well as their environment. Through conceptual exploration and practical implementation, the children were invited to become active agents in shaping the world within and around them. The program was divided into three phases, with each part exploring a different aspect of children’s relationship to space: - Phase 1 – Safe and personal space - Phase 2 – Stories of places - Phase 3 – Sharing stories of change Page 12/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org _Figure 6 - Model making activity as part of Phase 2: Stories of places_ For more info about the contents of each phase please visit: https://www.catalyticaction.org/co-creating-childrens-environments-through-narratives/ _Size of the allocated area for the intervention (in square metres): 265 m2_ Project partners: - Nusaned - Impact Lebanon - Neighbourhood Initiative - American University of Beirut (AUB) - Municipality of Beirut Safe Parks Karm Al Arees and Kaskas public parks, Beirut _January 2021 – June 2021 (6 months)_ In response to the Beirut port blast on the 4th of August 2020, we partnered with UNICEF Lebanon and Himaya to rehabilitate two neglected public parks in Beirut - Karm Al Arees Park and Kaskas Park. The rehabilitations focussed on transforming these parks into inclusive, accessible and child friendly spaces that could be used by the local community for everyday use, activities and gatherings. Working in close coordination with the Municipality of Beirut and Himaya NGO, the design for these parks was centred on making public spaces that could be used and enjoyed by everyone. Page 13/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org _Figure 7 - Karm Al Arees Public Park_ We took a participatory approach to the rehabilitation of the parks, engaging with community members to understand what changes were most needed and desired. This involved consultations with the garden’s department of the municipality, informal interviews with residents and gaining insights from students from the American University of Beirut, who had previously run activities in Karm Al Arees park. We also worked in close collaboration with our partner Himaya who are conducting a two-year program with children in the parks led by trained young facilitators from the area who had clear ideas about what they thought the park needed. _Figure 8 - Play towers in Karm Al Arees Park_ Page 14/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org _Figure 9 - Kaskas Public Park_ For more info about the specific interventions implemented in each park visit: https://www.catalyticaction.org/karm-al-arees-and-kaskas-public-safe-parks/ _Size of the allocated area for the intervention (in square metres): 2,280 m2_ Project partners: - Himaya - UNICEF - Municipality of Beirut Ghobeiry Public Park Ghobeiry _February 2021 – August 2021 (7 months)_ Ghobeiry Public Park is a project we conducted in the area of Ghobeiry, a municipality on the outskirts of Beirut in the Baabda District of Mount Lebanon Governorate. In partnership with Terre Des Hommes Italy, and funded by UNICEF Lebanon, this project involved the rehabilitation of the park. It focussed on making the space more accessible for its multigenerational and varied users, including children from the schools nearby and caregivers for whom the park is a vital public space. The design for the rehabilitated park was informed by participatory design methods involving interviews with key stakeholders and hands-on workshops with children. The project was also underpinned by the desire to work within the existing features of the park, naturally a very green and vibrant space. Page 15/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org The design for Ghobeiry Public Park built upon the existing features of the park, including an abundance of trees providing natural shade and an empty pavilion with lots of potential. It also focussed on creating spaces which catered to its different users. To this end, the design involved the building of five new spaces. Two of these made use of the existing pavilion to create a space for resting and an open classroom which could be used for activities and workshops. The other three areas were centred on the theme of play, with a variety of coloured walls each indicating a different focus. _Figure 10 - Ghobeiry Public Park_ - For more info please visit: https://www.catalyticaction.org/ghobeiry park/ _Size of the allocated area for the intervention (in square metres): 2,470 m2_ Project partners: - Terre des Hommes Italia - UNICEF - Municipality of Ghobeiry Karantina Streetscape Karantina, Beirut _May 2021 – December 2021 (8 months)_ Karantina’s urban public space project sought to upgrade the streets in the neighbourhood of Karantina, both around the Beirut Governmental Hospital and the Public Park. An area that bustles with cars, this project focussed on making Karantina’s streets more pedestrian and child friendly by improving the infrastructure in the neighbourhood. The design interventions for this project were underpinned by a participatory approach ensuring input from the local community around their needs, visions and aspirations for the space. Page 16/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org We conducted a range of participatory activities and interviews with children, young people and caregivers. For the children and younger residents involved in these workshops, we encouraged them to view themselves as architects. Exploring the site with our team members, they reflected on what they liked, disliked and thought could be improved around the site. Their ideas included adding seating areas, lights, play items, speed bumps, shading and greenery. However, they brought a range of ideas and there was a vibrant debate about where each of these items should be placed and what should be prioritised. In addition to these workshops, we also conducted informal interviews with regular users of the area including caregivers, business owners and military officers. A common theme they alluded to was the need to slow down cars to ensure children’s safety, the need for adequate seating so the space is suitable for stopping, and the importance of colour and greenery for making the streets appealing. These workshops and interviews were complemented using observational methods carried out by our team to assess how the area is used both by vehicles and pedestrians. _Figure 11 - Enhancing Streetscape in Karantina, Beirut_ Building on this participatory phase, the design centred on four key areas: slowing the traffic; making the area inclusive and pedestrian friendly; creating play opportunities for children and enhancing existing social activities. In order to tackle the issue of traffic and make the area safer for pedestrians, the design involved adding a new roundabout, replacing the old median strip, and introducing speed bumps and road markings to regulate car parking and movement. To increase the safety of pedestrians and make the area more accessible, the design focussed on improving the existing sidewalks, creating pedestrian crossings and building access ramps. Part of this involved creating a new sidewalk under a Page 17/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org group of existing trees which allowed for natural shade. On this new sidewalk, we implemented a long bench which aims to tackle the issues of cars parking in spaces where pedestrians should be able to gather. By adding more trees to the sidewalks, roundabouts and new median in front of the hospital, the intervention also created more shade, giving the area the feel of an urban park. Finally, to facilitate play, we built a long and colourful bench along the sidewalk which can be used for seating, jumping off and running along. There are also floor games along the pavement for children to interact with as they use the space. _Figure 12 - Enhancing Streetscape in Karantina, Beirut_ By improving the infrastructure around the Karantina public hospital and Karantina Public Park, this intervention has made the area more accessible, sociable and fun for the neighbourhood’s residents. It has encouraged social activity with its range of gathering spaces and provided entertainment for children through the playful aspects of the project. This is complemented by the traffic intervention solutions which have made the area feel a lot safer. - For more info please visit: https://www.catalyticaction.org/karantina streetscape/ _Size of the allocated area for the intervention (in square metres): 3,000 m2_ Project partners: - UN-Habitat Lebanon - Fondation de France - Municipality of Beirut Page 18/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org Assessing Vulnerabilities for Urban Recovery Solutions in Beirut Beirut _January 2021 – June 2021 (6 months)_ In collaboration with the IGP-RELIEF Centre at UCL, this GCRF funded research project seeks to provide insight into the changing landscape of local vulnerabilities following the Beirut explosion on August 4th 2020. The project focuses on the badly affected neighbourhood of Mar Mikkhael and intends to generate in-depth understanding of the evolving vulnerabilities of the neighbourhood to help inform future interventions and public policies that can address them. This research brings together urban economists, social scientists and urban designers to collect quantitative survey data, as well as community consultations data through focus groups and semi-structured interviews. The research project builds on the Prosperity Index work that the IGP-Relief Centre has been conducting in Lebanon for the past three years and focuses on the three thematic areas of Livelihood and employment, Housing security and Mental health and wellbeing. The research was conducted six months after the blast. _Figure 13 - Citizen scientists household survey training_ For more info visit: https://www.catalyticaction.org/assessing-vulnerabilities-for-urbanrecovery-solutions-in-beirut-lebanon-with-the-relief-centre/ and https://www.reliefcentre.org/relief-centre-conference-2021-1/catalyticaction-public-spaces-and-vitality - Project partners: - Institute for Global Prosperity (University College London) - UK Research and Innovation (UK Research and Innovation) Page 19/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org ## **ONGOING** The following projects started in the 2020-2021 and will be completed in 2022. Educational Centre Karantina, Beirut _September 2021 – May 2022 (9 months)_ This project aims at setting up an informal indoor learning space in Karantina to answer the lack of educational facilities in the neighbourhood. The design was conducted in collaboration with the local community and key stakeholders through different co-design sessions. In particular the participatory design activities were structured to aim at restoring the participants’ connection to physical learning and help them imagine their ideal, postCOVID19 learning space based on their individual and collective needs and aspirations. _Figure 14 - Young children produced models of their ideal space_ The project is scheduled to be completed in May 2022. _Size of the allocated area for the intervention (in square metres): 540 m2_ Project partners: - Terre des Hommes Italia - Agenzia Italiana per la Cooperazione allo Sviluppo - Municipality of Beirut Page 20/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org Mina Participatory Spatial Intervention _July 2021 – March 2022 (9 months)_ This project in the city of El Mina in Lebanon, is a collaboration with the RELIEF centre and funded with the support of Otto per Mille of the Waldensian Church of Italy. Located by the coast in Northern Lebanon, El Mina has a lot of potential for enhancing public space. This project seeks to build on this by working with citizen scientists from the area to reflect on how residents’ experience of public space in El Mina can be improved. Through a participatory spatial intervention, this project will focus on an area in the Corniche of ElMina located by the sea. Stretching 7km along the coast, the Corniche is a place where families from different nationalities and social classes meet, coming together to use the public space. However, the Corniche lacks vital infrastructure for residents to get the most from the space. While part of the Corniche was refurbished in 2019, this section is at a considerable distance from the most vulnerable neighbourhoods of the city - the people who need it most. This project seeks to address this by focussing on the part of the Corniche in front of the social housing in Al Masaken, and the informal settlement of Hay Al Tanak. _Figure 15 - Public consultation with local residents_ The project is schedule to be completed in March 2022. _Size of the allocated area for the intervention (in square metres): 1900 m2_ Project partners: - Waldensian Church of Italy - Institute for Global Prosperity (University College London) Page 21/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org Public Space as a Means to Mitigate Conflict Majdal Anjar _September 2021 – March 2022 (7 months)_ This project is a collaboration with International Alert (IA) and based in the village of Majdal Anjar in the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon. It builds on IA’s programme ‘Creating Space for Peace: Supporting Local Peacebuilding and Local Citizen-State Relations’ to work with young people in Majdal Anjar to create a public space that can be used for dialogue around conflict mitigation. IA has been working with young people in the village since April 2021 to establish opportunities for dialogue that can improve inter and intra-community, as well as citizen-state relations. This takes place in the form of a youth dialogue group (YDG) in which topics such as non-violent communications and dealing with differences are discussed. This project is embedded in this agenda and applies the method of placemaking to encourage young people in the area to consider how they can participate in reimagining and reinventing public space in Majdal Anjar. The culmination of this will be the creation of a public space which they have researched and designed. _Figure 16 - Youth Dialogue Group visiting a potential site for the project_ The project is scheduled to be completed in March 2022. _Size of the allocated area for the intervention (in square metres): 4,000 m2_ Project partners: - International Alert Page 22/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org Beirut Public Stairs Rehabilitation _June 2021 – June 2022 (12 months)_ In partnership with UN Habitat Lebanon, this project seeks to rehabilitate and revive the public stairs of St Nicolas, Vendome and Laziza in the neighbourhoods of Mar Mikhael and Gemmayzeh in Beirut. While staircases in Beirut are used for practical purposes, they are also used as lively spaces of social interaction. They are historical landmarks that have survived the city’s vast changes, representing years of collective memory. This project aims to preserve this heritage and enhance the social activities on the stairs by fixing damages, adding furniture and improving accessibility. Through a series of participatory workshops with the stairs’ multi-generational users, the design for this project has involved direct engagement with residents of these neighbourhoods. It platforms their ideas to ensure a participatory rehabilitation of their staircases. _Figure 17 - Participants visiting the stairs to come up with design ideas_ The project is schedule to be completed in June 2022. _Size of the allocated area for the intervention (in square metres): 2,050 m2_ Project partners: - UN Habitat Lebanon - Block by Block - UNIDO - Municipality of Beirut Page 23/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org Supporting Inclusive and Integrated Recovery in Karantina Karatina, Beirut _November 2021 – February 2022 (4 months)_ The project aims to analyse public spaces in the neighbourhood and develop ways in which residents can co-design their shared spaces. The project follows a citizen science methodology that we tailored to this specific context and project. We recruited and trained 10 citizen scientists; women and men representing the diverse community groups living in the neighbourhood. We adapted some of the Ghel Institute’s public life tools to survey 15 public spaces in the Karantina neighbourhood and learn about their daily use. The research focuses on the urban built environment and its users’ diverse experiences. These public spaces are analysed to address key issues through co-designed interventions. _Figure 18 - Citizen Scientist conducting an interview with a resident in Karantina, Beirut_ The project is scheduled to be completed in February 2022. - Project partners: ● UNDP RELIEF Centre research partnership in Lebanon The RELIEF Centre is a transdisciplinary research collaboration that focuses on one of the world’s pressing challenges of the moment: how to build a prosperous and inclusive future for communities affected by mass displacement. This collaboration started in 2017-2018 and was renewed also in the current financial year.

The Trustees ensured that the activities undertaken are in line with the charitable objects of CatalyticAction, and in doing so are satisfied that CatalyticAction’s activities meet the requirements on demonstrating public benefit. Page 26/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org ## Financial Review During this financial year, the charity raised a total income of £272,751. The charity expenditures for the year were £243,643. _Table 1 - Charity income_ Of the total income, 92% was raised for delivering specific projects (always governed by formal agreements). 8% was raised to support the overall activities of the charity and it was raised from donations from individuals and private organisations. The charity has already secured a number of projects for 2021-2022. This would allow the charity to allocate more time for strategic planning and growth. Over the past 6 years, the charity had an average income growth rate of 44%. The growth in 2020-2021 was 80% (higher than the 40% expected). CatalyticAction benefits from the support of many volunteers in an operational capacity as well as many other vital roles. In accordance with the Charity Commission guidelines on financial reporting, the economic contribution of volunteers is not recognised in the financial statements. CatalyticAction has carried out 11 projects during this financial year, of which 5 will be carried forward to 2021-2022. The overall cost of these projects is only partially reflected in the financial statements as part of the implementation costs were incurred by our partners. ## Principal funding sources The main source of funding for the charity during this financial year have been fees for charitable services from partner organisations. Page 27/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org ## Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves The Trustees aim to hold unrestricted reserves sufficient to cover 6 months of operating expenses to enable the smooth running of the charity in the event of unforeseen costs and / or downturn in expected income. The balance held as unrestricted reserves at the end of the financial year is £79,368 which represents approximately 6 months of operating costs, including staff salaries, based on the current operating budget. The reserves policy is reviewed every year by the Board of Trustees. _Figure 20 – Safe Park in Karm Al Arees, Beirut_ Page 28/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org ## Challenges and Future Plans In the first few months of 2021-2022 the charity will be working on 5 projects secured towards the end of 2020-2021. A further 4 new collaborations are being explored and will most probably lead to projects. _Figure 21 – Giant slide in Karantina Public Park, Beirut_ In 2020-2021 the charity has secured new partnerships with international organisations such as UNICEF and UN-Habitat. In 2021-2022 the charity plans to expand the activities with these partners as well as securing new strategic partnerships that can offer opportunities for long-term collaborations for the charity. Alongside this effort, the charity aims at implementing additional educational spaces such as public parks, child friendly spaces, playgrounds, schools, and community centres to better the living conditions of disadvantaged communities. Due to the charity’s experience in this context, CatalyticAction predicts that the majority of the projects will be implemented in Lebanon. Nevertheless, the charity staff and the Board of Trustees are working to expand CatalyticAction’s activities to other countries in the Middle East. The charity will continue to dedicate resources to increase the charity’s impact by growing the number of partners and projects. The charity will also try to connect with a wider number of supporters through public events, social media and other networking opportunities. This process will hopefully allow the charity to reach a wider number of people and communities, empowering them through built interventions. Page 29/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org The charity is planning to expand its current Board of Trustees to at least a total of 5 members. The board is currently lacking strong financial planning skills, in particular regarding charity finance, which would be a requisite in the selection of future trustees. The charity is also looking for specific persons to join the charity as patrons; individuals who will be actively promoting the work of CatalyticAction without having to be involved in its operational management. In 2021, the charity has extensively worked on improving its media outreach strategy increasing the awareness among the general public and like-minded organisations about the work of CatalyticAction and its impact. The charity will continue to work on this strategy in the next year. Outreach to students and professionals will remain an important activity of the charity. Participating in conferences, lessons, etc. has the potential to inspire students and professionals about the social potential of participatory architecture. CatalyticAction has been involved in academic research that will inform the practice of the charity. The charity aims at participating at least three conferences per year where we will have the opportunity to present the work of the charity to other charities, NGOs and academics. These events will be an opportunity to expand the charity's network and potentially create new partnerships. In general, the charity aims to increase its capacity over the next years, so as to improve the living conditions of an even higher number of people. _Figure 22 – Children mapping public spaces in Karantina, Beirut_ Page 30/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org ## Declaration Andrea Rigon Trustee – Chair 26-04-2022 Andy Hilton Trustee – Treasurer 26-04-2022 Emanuela Rizzo Trustee 26-04-2022 Sandra D’Urzo Trustee 26-04-2022 Page 31/43 Trustees’ Annual Report 2020-2021 CatalyticAction charity number 1169604 info@catalyticaction.org www.catalyticaction.org ## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts** ## **Section A** ## **Independent Examiner’s Report** **Report to the trustees/** Charity Name **members of** Catalytic Action **On accounts for the year** 31 October 2021 **Charity no** 1169604 **ended (if any) Set out on pages** 1 - 43 (remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets) I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity for the year ended 31/10/2021. **Responsibilities and** As the charity trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
