Structure, governance and management
Walk21 Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) governed by its constitution.
Trustees are appointed in accordance with the constitution. They confirm their understanding and agreement with the values of the charity.

Walk21 Foundation
Report of the trustees
For the year ended 30 September 2020
Walk21 has been able to have a direct input into the development of activities and projects that will help change the urban fabric and make it a safer, more comfortable and easier place to walk for everyone from small children to the elderly. During the year we have:
-

Extended the Global Sidewalk Challenge with further workshops and funding to develop the STRIDE tool and seen investment in on the ground changes to benefit people walking.
Further information about some of these initiatives is provided below.
1. Walk21 Global Network
Walk21 connects a global network of over 5,000 people and organisations who share our mission. We have achieved this through a monthly e-newsletter, social media posts, maintaining a website and responding to individual requests for information and support.
Our most active social media is Twitter and we create about 500,000 impressions each year with about 300 tweets. Twitter followers increased from 4,000 to 4,500 during the year, with the conference and international events as key moments of activity and user engagement.
We also reach our network through Facebook, Linked In and Instagram and the monthly newsletter. The monthly newsletter shares stories from the network and Walk21 as well as key items of interest from around the world. On average each newsletter is opened 700 times.
2. Advocacy for Walking
Walk21 was present at events throughout the year to advocate for walking across a range of agendas that address the Walk21 Foundation charitable objectives, including: public health; safer city streets; equity and mobility; climate action; and economic wellbeing. Due to COVID-19, all events were deferred or went online from March 2020 and Walk21 participated in this format for the rest of the year. You can see the list in the table below.

Report of the trustees
For the year ended 30 September 2020
Risk management
The trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, both operationally and financially, and are satisfied that the systems are in place to manage exposure to any risks that may significantly affect the Charity.
Since February 2020, the world has been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This has impacted dramatically on the operations of the Charity - due to the high volume of international travel and representation undertaken. Fortunately, the financial impact has been mixed, with some income streams being deferred, while new income streams have come online.
The Charity is taking the following steps to mitigate the ongoing challenges COVID-19 pose: ▪Active outreach through online forums and social media to sustain advocacy work; and
- Realign projects to be delivered online, e.g. Walk21 Seoul conference to now be online in May 2021.
The trustees consider that the charity will continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date on which these financial statements are approved for the following reasons: ▪The charity holds unrestricted, general reserves of £40,045;
-
The focus of the work qualifies for new funding streams that continue to emerge in response to the crisis; and
-
The charity has shifted to online formats and engagement with projects across the board and will continue to deliver on its commitments remotely.
Statement of responsibilities of the trustees
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure, of the charity for the year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
▪ observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
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 proper 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. The trustees 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.

Independent examiner's report
To the trustees of
Walk21 Foundation
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Walk21 Foundation (the CIO) for the year ended 30 September 2020, which are set out on pages 11 to 21.
Responsibilities and basis of report
Since the CIO’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
(1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the CIO as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
(2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
(3) the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 September 2020
1. Accounting policies
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Walk21 Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
b) Going concern basis of accounting
The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the global economy, and has in turn affected the charity. The trustees have considered the impact of this issue on the charity’s current and future financial position. The charity holds unrestricted, general reserves of £40,045 and a cash balance of £80,061. The trustees consider that the charity has sufficient cash reserves to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date on which these financial statements are approved.
c) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from the government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
d) Funds accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
e) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
13
Walk21 Foundation
Notes to the financial statements
For the year ended 30 September 2020
1. Accounting policies (continued)
f) Allocation of support and governance costs
- Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity, including the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements and any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities. These costs have been allocated in full to expenditure on charitable activities which is deemed to be reflective of the activities of the charity in this period.
g) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered.
h) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
i) Creditors
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
j) Financial instruments
The trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
k) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Balances denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the year end.
l) Accounting estimates and key judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The were no key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
