The trnstees 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) (eff¢ctive l January 2019). OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims Who we are Passion for Freedom is a story of a small group of friends, mostly ladies with a shared dream. Founded in 2009, Passion for Freedom began as a tight-knit S15terhood dedicated to their shared values of free expression, and the power of art to inspire, awaken and shake the world. For an average individual, dipping your toes into a world of censorship, religious terrorism. and oppressed journalists takes real commitment to the cause. Our women fought these things for over a decade, all the while unpaid, juggling careers, relationships, tefforist attacks, and Monday morning's Central Line. In todays world, Passion for Freedom stands out. There are far too many cowards, bullies, virtue signalers and censors in the world today. When faced with real evil, most people look away or bury their heads in the sand, but we are proud to say that PFF never wavered, despite its adversarial existence. The real spectacle and focus have always be¢n the yearly art exhibition, where artists facing censorship world-over send in submissions to the Passion for Freedom Art Competition. Creators like Mimsy, Ai Wei Wei, Atena Farghadani, Malala, Kubra Khademi. and countless others have been involved with the competition over the years, and their brilliance is, for lack of a better terni, the main show, PFF is Tnerely the stage.
