Report of the trustees

For the year ended 30 April 2022

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Constitution and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective from 1 January 2019).

Structure, governance and management

Agenda is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, charity number 1179417, its members are its charity trustees. Its governing document is a constitution registered 1 August 2018.

Agenda became a registered charity in 2018. It had previously been hosted by The Young Foundation. On 1 October 2018 Agenda span out from the Young Foundation and became independent.

Overall governance of Agenda is the responsibility of the trustees. The day to day running of the organisation is delegated to the CEO.

On founding on 1 August 2018, Agenda had three trustees, who had previously sat on Agenda’s steering group. These were:

Apart from the first charity trustees, every appointed trustee must be appointed for a term of four years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as appointed charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.

Early in the year, we agreed to extend the term of our trustees who were coming to the end of their tenure for an additional year. This enabled us to continue benefitting from their expertise during a critical period as we responded to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trustees meet at least quarterly. There are three sub-committees:

Agenda was founded as an Alliance and now has over 100 members who have signed up to support our mission and values.

Objectives and activities

Agenda’s objectives are

Agenda CIO

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 30 April 2022

To achieve those objectives Agenda works to ensure that women and girls at risk of abuse, poverty, poor mental health, addiction and homelessness get the support and protection they need. We campaign for systems and services to be transformed. We raise awareness across sectors and promote public and political understanding of the lives of women and girls facing multiple disadvantage. We do this through research and making and supporting the implementation of proposals designed to improve provision.

Public benefit

Agenda works to create a society where women and girls can fulfil their potential and live their lives free from inequality, poverty and violence. The notion of public benefit is enshrined in our objectives and we do not restrict access to this benefit. The board of trustees has had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit as they established Agenda as an independent charity and agreed on the charity’s objectives and priorities.

Our purpose

We exist to ensure that women and girls at risk of abuse, poverty, poor mental health, addiction, contact with the criminal justice system and homelessness get the support and protection they need.

Our mission

We campaign for systems and services to be transformed; to raise awareness across sectors; and to promote public and political understanding of the lives of women and girls facing multiple disadvantage.

Our values

Justice: We are determined and steadfast in upholding the rights of women and girls and in working to challenge structural inequalities and systemic failures.

Courage: We are courageous in speaking out and taking action for and with women and girls. We provide platforms for their views and voices.

Vision: We work with imagination to reframe the debate around women and girls at risk, challenge current thinking and practice, and open the door to new solutions and approaches.

Collaboration: We listen to different perspectives and draw strength from diversity. We seek to develop shared understanding, to collaborate and find new ways of talking, thinking and working across divides and boundaries.

Credibility: Our work is grounded in robust evidence, proven good practice and the experiences of women and girls.

Our activities and impact

Agenda works strategically to influence policy and practice to create long-term positive impact on the lives of women and girls facing multiple disadvantage. This year we have continued to work with parliamentarians, officials, policy makers and across our alliance membership to ensure that the needs of women and girls facing multiple disadvantage, those at risk of being most overlooked, are reflected in decision making.

Since Agenda became an independent charity, we have focused on four strategic priorities:

1. Strategies and policies relating to multiple disadvantage have a focus on women. Greater awareness of and action on issues facing women and girls at risk;

2. Needs of girls at risk are well articulated and there is a clear agenda for change. Active discussions about girls amongst relevant policy, sector and service audiences;

3. Systems and services work more effectively to meet the needs of women and girls at risk. Increased focus on commissioning joined-up, gendered informed support; and

4. Mental health policy and practice takes gender into account. Mental health services better joined up and meet needs of women and girls at risk.

From April 2020, to reflect the significant impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Agenda’s work and on the women and girls we exist to create change with and for, we added two additional priorities to our work focused on:

5. Ensuring the needs of women and girls facing multiple disadvantage are reflected in the policy response and narrative around Covid-19; and

6. Building the evidence base for when there is greater potential for cut through and to ensure the full impact of Covid-19 on the most marginalised women is recognised and understood as the country rebuilds.

Below sets out our activities and achievements throughout the year 2021-22, across each of our strategic goals.

1. Strategies and policies relating to multiple disadvantage have a focus on women

Agenda exists to shine a light on the experiences of women and girls facing multiple disadvantage, making an evidence-based case for upstream, holistic, trauma-informed approaches that make a significant difference to women’s lives and prevent adverse future outcomes. All our work is rooted in best practice from across the system and informed by the expertise of those with both lived and learnt expertise.

Criminal justice

With our roots beginning with Baroness Corston’s 2007 report into women in the criminal justice system, Agenda holds a number of roles which help inform criminal justice policy development and which share learning from across the sector, and we regularly raise concerns about the treatment and experiences of women across the system in the media.

This year we continued to work with members of the Advisory Board of Female Offenders (ABFO) to raise concerns with the Ministry of Justice and the Minister with responsibility for women offenders about plans to build 500 new prison places for women. Membership of the Advisory Board on Female Offenders was refreshed this year, renamed the Women in the Criminal Justice System Expert Group, and Agenda continues as a member of this group. Agenda has repeatedly raised the importance of diverting girls and women away from custody at all points of the criminal justice system and towards gender- and trauma- informed community services.

Agenda CIO

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 30 April 2022

Following our written evidence submission to Justice Committee’s Inquiry on Women in Prison, our Chief Executive was invited to give oral evidence to the Committee, focusing on mental health issues for women in prison and the impact of racism on Black, Asian and minoritised women in the criminal justice system. We have also helped inform the Independent Women’s Health and Social Care in Prison inquiry as a member of their Expert Reference Group.

Throughout the year we have brought together specialist voluntary sector organisations working to support women in the justice system through Agenda and Clinks’ joint women’s networking forum. These quarterly meetings are an opportunity to convene organisations to learn from evidence and best practice, and a forum through which Agenda can present recommendations from our research and encourage discussion around how front-line services can better meet women and girls’ needs in their own work.

Agenda has continued to support the Corston Independent Funders Coalition in a secretariat capacity, as the coalition worked on a re-statement of purpose and its membership structure.

Double Disadvantage

Funded by the Barrow Cadbury Trust, and in partnership with Women in Prison (WiP), Criminal Justice Alliance, Zaid Mubarak Trust, Hibiscus and Muslim Women in Prison, Agenda developed a 10 point Action plan to tackle experiences of inequality and discrimination for Black, Asian, migrant and minoritised women in the criminal justice system. This project built on the findings of our joint Double Disadvantage (2016) report with Women in Prison (WiP), which fed into the Lammy review into the treatment of, and outcomes for Black, Asian and minoritised people in the criminal justice system. The action plan, published in January 2022, was developed through engagement with women with lived experience, and specialist services led by and for Black, Asian and minoritised women.

Ahead of a public launch of the Action Plan, senior officials from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS), the Mayor's Office for Policing And Crime (MOPAC), and the Home Office (HO) met to discuss the recommendations at small invite-only Chatham-house style roundtable. This explored with officials how to progress the actions and was able to secure commitments, including for the Female Offender Minority Ethnic (FOME) working group in MoJ to take forward some key recommendations and meet in the spring to discuss further steps.

The action plan sets out clear opportunities for change, which all partners have used to collectively hold decision-makers to account through our shared influencing channels, including ABFO. Agenda led on media coverage for this and were pleased to secure a number of pieces including The Guardian, inews and The Voice. Following publication, Agenda has continued to represent and profile the Action Plan recommendations in all relevant spaces, and partners are exploring how to take this work forward.

The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill

During the period of our Young Women’s Justice Project (see strategic aim 2 below for more), the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill (PCSC) was introduced to the House of Commons. This legislation included provisions for the creation of Serious Violence Reduction Orders (SVROs), which risk sweeping greater numbers of women and girls who have experienced trauma and disadvantage into the criminal justice system. In response, Agenda published a number of briefings supported by our members, in partnership with Women in Prison, and through our briefing paper “I wanted to be heard”, and secured media coverage highlighting our concerns around the Bill.

At the Committee Stage of the Bill, Agenda worked with Baroness Hilary Armstrong to table an amendment, with the support of a cross-party coalition of peers, human rights organisations, women's sector and criminal justice organisations, that would have removed the joint enterprise element of Serious Violence Reduction Orders.

Agenda CIO

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 30 April 2022

Whilst this was unsuccessful we worked further with Liberty to draft an amendment which Peers successfully voted on to ensure a more robust pilot of SVROs before a national rollout. This pilot will include the collection of intersectional data and analysis on those given an SVRO, as well as data on the reasons an SVRO is given to an individual – which Agenda will monitor once the pilot is underway.

2. Needs of girls are well articulated

Over the last two years, Agenda has developed two key projects to fulfil our aim that the needs of girls at risk are well articulated and there is a clear agenda for change, with active discussions taking place about young women amongst relevant policy, sector and service audiences.

Young Women’s Justice Project (YWJP)

Funded by Lloyds Bank Foundation, our Young Women’s Justice Project, focused on young adult women (aged 17-25 years old) in contact with the criminal justice system. In partnership with The Alliance for Youth Justice (formerly The Standing Committee for Youth Justice), the project engaged with young adult women, front-line practitioners and other experts to develop a strong and credible evidence base on the needs of this group, influence government policy to take these into account, inform more effective practice and empower girls and young women as advocates. It particularly considered the needs, voices and experiences of Black, Asian and minoritised, and care-experienced girls, reflecting the disproportionality of the representation of these young women in the system.

Throughout the year we published Falling Through the Gaps (April 2021), on girls turning 18 in the justice system, and “I wanted to be heard” (Sept 2021) on the criminalisation of young women who have experienced violence and abuse.

The final report of the Young Women’s Justice Project, We’ve Not Given Up: Young women surviving the criminal justice system, was published in March 2022. This research outlines young women’s pathways into, and experiences of, the criminal justice system and sets out policy-focused recommendations and solutions for change. It was developed in collaboration with young women (22 were involved through interviews and workshops), expert practitioners (91 attended expert seminars over the project), and work with nine grass roots organisations for the final report, including Muslim Women in Prison, ID Essence, Leicestershire Cares and Sister System.

For our final report, we secured a foreword from the Chair of the APPG on Women in the CJS, as well as supportive quotes from a number of other high-profile supporters of the project, including Nazir Afzal OBE (former Chief Prosecutor and Welsh Government Advisor), and Florence Eshalomi MP – both of whom were members of our Expert Advisory group.

Through the work we created platforms for girls and young women to lead advocacy and generate media coverage including: a segment on BBC Woman’s Hour, and coverage in Guardian, Children & Young People Now, Russell Webster, The Crime Report, a live interview on Talk Radio TV and Voice Online.

This work has built a strong and robust evidence base and generated growing recognition of the needs of young women in contact with the criminal justice system in policy. We welcomed the announcement of the development of an MoJ/HMPPS Young Adult Women’s Strategy, announced in the Prisons Strategy White Paper (December 2021), and have been working closely with HMPPS to inform this, and the development of practical new guidance for this group of young women.

Agenda CIO

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 30 April 2022

Following feedback, we shared with the Home Office, the publication of the Domestic abuse draft statutory guidance framework now makes explicit reference to young women in contact with the criminal justice system as a distinct group. We also welcomed greater recognition of the needs of young women in MOPAC’s development of their pilot Transitions to Adulthood Hub, which now includes dedicated provision for young women delivered in a women’s centre.

We shared project findings with a number of officials, including: the HMPPS’ Women’s Estate Strategic Leads’ meeting; officials from MoJ’s Victim and Witness Policy, Family and Criminal Justice Policy Directorate; the MoJ Female Offenders Policy Team lead on Black and minoritised women; and the Farmer Review lead. We have also spoken in a number of key forums including: the Revolving Doors Agency roundtable on making diversion and out of court disposals work for young adults; Transitions to Adulthood (T2A) Alliance meetings; and the Youth Justice Board Voluntary Sector Liaison Group meeting.

We will continue to call on the Ministry of Justice, Home Office and Youth Justice Board and criminal justice practitioners across the system to make reforms to better meet the needs of this group to prevent marginalised young women being locked in a cycle of harm, inequality, and re-offending.

Girls Speak

Funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, our Girls Speak project has worked alongside girls at risk of unmet needs to explore the issues they face, the ways they are excluded or marginalised in current policy debates and to create and campaign for solutions.

Through the second year of the project we focused on disseminating findings from Struggling Alone (2020) – our first Girls Speak publication with a focus on the mental health crisis facing girls and young women, and violence and abuse, poverty and discrimination as key drivers of this.

We have drawn on evidence from Girls Speak to inform a variety of policy submissions, including the Health and Social Care Select Committee’s Inquiry into Children and Young People’s Mental Health, a Girls Speak submission to the Women’s Health Strategy consultation, development of statutory guidance to accompany the new Domestic Abuse Bill, and the Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy consultation.

We have held a variety of influencing meetings including with Caroline Nokes, Chair of the Women and Equalities Select Committee, and Lord Knight, vice-Chair of the APPG on School Exclusions and Alternative Provision to raise our concerns, and have presented our work to several officials and departments across government, including the Department for Education’s Tackling Harms Unit; Children’s Social Care (CCE Lead); Tackling Harms Unit; and Children’s Social Care (CSE and CSA Leads). We were also delighted that findings from the Struggling Alone paper helped inform the development of the Pilgrim Trust’s new young women’s mental health grants funding programme.

Our young women’s advisory group, set up as part of Girls Speak, met throughout the project to shape the development of our priority areas of focus, co-produce report recommendations and meet with decision-makers. We supported young women to engage in campaigns and opportunities, such as: speaking on a panel at a policy roundtable we ran with Mind to help inform the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) Women’s Health Strategy development; writing a blog highlighting the necessity and value of taking a gender-sensitive approach to working with girls at risk of exclusion for the Commission on Young Lives; taking part in the interview selection process of the new Senior Research and Engagement Officer role; and giving evidence to the Lords Public Services Committee Inquiry into public service responses to child vulnerability.

Agenda CIO

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 30 April 2022

The project has been supported by three meetings of our Expert Advisory Group which have helped shape emerging themes and shared feedback on findings and final recommendations. We have been pleased to continue to grow and develop our relationships with specialist organisations supporting young women, including LAWRS Sin Fronteras young women’s wellbeing group, Milk Honey Bees, Abianda, and the Young Women’s Outreach Project.

Evidence from both Struggling Alone, and our Voices from Lockdown research, showed that girls mental health was particularly adversely impacted during the coronavirus crisis, with growing rates of child poverty, increased risk of violence, abuse and exploitation, social isolation and lack of access to support as a result of school closures.

Building on these findings, we developed a thematic focus on girls at risk of exclusion, and in September 2021 published a briefing paper focusing on girls at risk of exclusion from mainstream education. Drawing on new research conducted with girls and young women, a professional roundtable discussion and a Freedom of Information request (FOI) submitted to the Department for Education (DfE), the briefing made the case that despite their comparatively smaller numbers, the fact that girls are a minority amongst those excluded should not mean they are less of a priority in policy and practice. Bringing to light new data about the growing rate at which girls are excluded, this revealed that minoritised girls, in particular dual heritage white and black Caribbean girls, experience some of the highest rates of exclusion in schools across England. This briefing generated media attention, including coverage from the Guardian and Tes. This evidence informed our response to the terrible incident surrounding the strip-searching of the young woman known as ‘Child Q’.

In the coming year we are focusing on developing the final theme girls and young women raised, that of experiences of multiple exclusions from different systems, services and spaces. We will continue to build on this research, and explore further the ways in which Black, Asian and minoritised young women are particularly let down in education and across public services.

3. Systems and services work more effectively to meet the needs of women and girls at risk

Through this strand of Agenda’s strategy we work with local decision makers and services to improve systems’ responses to women and girls with multiple unmet needs.

Place based change in Greater Manchester

Following publication of our report Tackling Multiple Disadvantage in Greater Manchester (March 2021), aimed at officials, decision makers and local services across the Greater Manchester ten boroughs and the combined authorities, we published the final briefing of this project.

This policy briefing Devolution and women’s disadvantage (May 2021), focused on tackling women and girls’ multiple disadvantage at a regional level and was the final report of our Breaking Down the Barriers in Greater Manchester project in partnership with AVA, funded by Lloyds Bank Foundation. The project took forward the findings of our National Commission on Domestic and Sexual Abuse and Multiple Disadvantage to campaign for systems and policy change to support women with multiple disadvantage at a local level with devolved responsibilities.

The final briefing highlighted key recommendations for a more holistic, gender and trauma informed response to women with multiple disadvantage at the regional level. The brief was launched with a highly successful webinar which was attended by over 80 participants ranging from academics to the police and central government officials.

Agenda CIO

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 30 April 2022

An independent evaluation of Breaking Down the Barriers in Greater Manchester found that the project was positive in all respects, and that the model of engagement developed and used was extremely strong, underpinned by an overt willingness to listen and to learn. By working locally with specialist organisations and decision makers and women with lived experience, the evaluation found we were able to add significant value in the role of ‘catalyst’ and ‘co-ordinator’, supporting local strategic activities and influencing, without undermining the existing strength of the sector, and providing an independent ‘outside perspective’ which was useful for reinforcing locally arising recommendations.

Since the final report was published, we have worked with officials from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority to develop the scope of their work to address the needs of women facing multiple disadvantage, facilitating discussion of their ‘vulnerable and marginalised women’s board’ to scope ways in which GMCA can adopt and progress Agenda’s recommendations at a combined authority level.

Transforming Services for Women’s Futures

To build further on our work to deliver place-based change, we have begun work in the North East, establishing our Transforming Services for Women’s Futures project with Changing Lives in Northumbria and Tyne and Wear, funded by the Smallwood Trust.

This project will seek to explore the ways in which public services can be redesigned post-pandemic to better meet the needs of women with multiple unmet needs. By working with those with both lived and learned experience in Tyne and Wear and Northumberland (TW&N), we will work to explore how services can be optimised to improve the lives of women and girls – making national recommendations based on the findings.

Building on the success and learning from our work in Greater Manchester, the project will engage with specialist women’s services, women with lived experience of multiple unmet needs and local public services to explore the experience of women facing multiple disadvantage of engaging with these services. We will investigate what is working well, what barriers exist and the effectiveness of cross-sector working, particularly reflecting on how Covid-19 and the responses to it have changed the public service landscape for women facing multiple disadvantage, including those facing poverty and other economic disadvantage.

The project will highlight the financial and human cost to women and society if commissioning and decision-making does not respond to women most at risk of poverty, violence and abuse. It will empower women as advocates to safely share their experiences and use their voices to make change, and provide recommendations for future improvements, setting out how public services could better respond to the needs of women locally and nationally. We have already drawn on the learning from this project to respond to the Government’s Levelling Up White Paper, encouraging the government and leaders at all levels to take decisive action to improve gender inequality at both national and regional level.

4. Mental health policy and practice takes gender into account

Throughout the year we have continued to raise awareness of women and girl’s mental health needs, and the underlying drivers of poor mental health, including violence, abuse, discrimination, inequality and poverty.

We participated in several further policy shaping opportunities, including: joining the advisory group for the new Department of Health and Social Care Mental Health Policy tool, intended to support policy makers to reflect on the mental health impacts of policy decisions; attending the Care Quality Commission’s Mental health provider collaboration review expert advisory group through which we have been able to raise the issue of girls and transitions.

Agenda CIO

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 30 April 2022

We drew on evidence from A Way Forward for Women and Girls, our research on the impact of Covid19 on women and girls facing multiple disadvantage and the services supporting them, to inform discussion with officials at the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSE) to inform the government's mental health recovery action plan.

This year the Use of Force (Mental Health Units) Act (2018) guidance, which Agenda campaigned for, came to force in December 2021. Our ongoing work with officials on this resulted in increased mentions of “women and girls”, 'survivors of abuse'; and highlighted the need for understanding of gender-based violence and trauma by staff in these settings, including the impact of restraint – as well as on those witnessing it; the need for women to be able to pick the gender of their practitioner; the accessibility of information for service-users; and the importance of intersectional data.

To help inform the forthcoming DHSC Women’s Health Strategy, we ran a policy roundtable with Mind in May 2021, building on evidence showing that women and girls’ mental health were hardest hit through the pandemic. This was attended by then Minister for Patient Safety, Suicide Prevention and Mental Health, alongside leading experts, decision makers and women with lived experience to consider how best to address the mental health and wellbeing of the most disadvantaged women and girls, with a particular focus on rebuilding beyond the pandemic.

Based on evidence from this event and our wider mental health work, we submitted a response in partnership with Mind supported by 38 Agenda members to the DHSC Women’s Health Strategy consultation in June 2021, as well as a specific briefing from girls and young women drawing on findings from Girls Speak.

The government announced their Vision for the Women’s Health Strategy for England in December 2021, which we welcomed - particularly the reference to mental health as a key priority for women of all ages, and the appointment of a government Women’s Health Ambassador. Agenda met with the then Minister for Care and Mental Health, and her team to discuss plans for the strategy following this and underline the importance of making mental health a key priority in the strategy. We will continue to raise the importance of prioritising the needs and mental health of the most disadvantaged women and girls within this ongoing work.

5. Ensuring the needs of women and girls facing multiple disadvantage are reflected in the policy response around Covid-19; and

6. Building the evidence base on the impact of Covid-19 on the most marginalised women and girls.

Voices from Lockdown/Covid-19

Following the publication of A Way Forward for Women and Girls in March 2021, marking one year on from the first lockdown, we focused on widely disseminating and sharing this evidence from the 150+ voluntary sector organisations supporting the most disadvantaged women and girls who participated in our surveys during the first year of the pandemic. This report outlined that women and girls facing multiple unmet needs were in a state of emergency, with the pandemic pushing more and more to the sharpest end of inequality.

We shared these findings widely across government, parliamentarians, officials, sector and our members, writing to key Cabinet members, Chairs of relevant Select Committees and APPGs and those with particular responsibility for the themes of the report, such as the Youth Mental Health Ambassador, making specific recommendations and asks made of each in their role.

Our dissemination and influencing led to a meeting with Caroline Nokes MP, Women and Equalities Select Committee Chair, and presentation of our findings to officials from the Government Equalities Office, Home Office and a newly established cross department ‘Gender network’. We have also shared findings across the voluntary sector, including with colleagues on the Working Group on children and domestic abuse and at the APPG on Domestic Violence and Abuse Inquiry into Mental Health.

Agenda CIO

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 30 April 2022

We drew on evidence from Voices from Lockdown to support submissions to the Health and Social Care Select Committee Inquiry into ‘Children and Young People’s Mental Health’, ONS ‘Inclusive Data’ Consultation and the Lords Public Services Committee on Public Services Inquiry into the role of public services in addressing child vulnerability.

The difference we make

Since we were founded Agenda has become established as the go-to organisation on gender and multiple disadvantage. We have developed strong relationships across government departments with policy-makers and officials which enable us to shape policy so that the needs of women and girls at risk are on the agenda for the first time. Independent evaluation of our work has found that Agenda is seen as a unique, credible campaigner, leader, and researcher - valued for our integrity and our work in keeping women and girls’ issues on the national agenda, with the potential to bring a wide range of organisations together in alliance around a common vision.

Agenda’s alliance members tell us they value our role in making the case for holistic, gender- and trauma-informed approaches, providing opportunities for grass-roots organisations to join national and cross-sector policy-influencing discussions and in being the voice of both women and front-line holistic, gender-informed and trauma-responsive specialist women’s and girl’s organisations working around the country.

Our work benefits several audiences. Policy-makers and influencers benefit from our evidence and insight, leading to more informed and impactful decision-making. Practitioners and services benefit through a growing awareness of the value of gender-specific and trauma-informed approaches amongst commissioners, funders, and decisions-makers, and in connecting across silos to share best practice and evidence. Women and girls we work with as campaigners are empowered through the work we do together, and the lives of a wider population of women and girls facing multiple disadvantage are improved through the policy and practice changes we help bring about.

Examples of the impact of our work over the last year include:

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 April 2021

Financial review

During the year Agenda CIO made a net deficit of £27,539 (2021: surplus £48,991) resulting in net assets of £263,801 (2021: £291,340). Principal sources of funding were from Lankelly Chase Foundation, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Barrow Cadbury Trust, and a number of other supporters. All expenditure in the year is directly related to fulfilling the aims and objectives of Agenda and for restricted funding, is in line with funders requirements.

Reserve policy

The trustees have determined a target level of unrestricted reserves of 6 months’ annual expenditure is realistic and appropriate, this equates to £153,000. The unrestricted reserves at the end of the year were £214,511 (2021: £205,744).

Free reserves, those not allocated to specific future costs, stood at £214,511 (2021: £205,744).

Management of risk

The trustees have a risk management strategy that involves a quarterly review of risks by the Finance, Risk and Fundraising committee and annually as a board. Systems of monitoring and mitigating identified risks are continually reviewed and implementation of procedures to minimise any impact of risks on the charity.

Independent examiner’s statement

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.

Godfrey Wilson Limited also provides bookkeeping and payroll services to the CIO. I confirm that as a member of the ICAEW I am subject to the FRC’s Revised Ethical Standard 2016, which I have applied with respect to this engagement.

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:

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 April 2022

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).

Agenda CIO 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(s).

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 based on the level of unrestricted reserves held at the year end. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability 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(s) 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) Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item, is probable and the economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised.

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

e) Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity: this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

17

Agenda CIO

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 April 2022

1. Accounting policies (continued)

f) Funds accounting

g) 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.

h) 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 between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities based on the proportion of staff costs, as follows:

2022 2021
Raising funds 22% 28%
Charitable activities 78% 72%

i) Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

Computer equipment 3 years straight line basis
Office equipment 3 years straight line basis

j) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

k) 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.

18

Agenda CIO

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 April 2022

1. Accounting policies (continued)

l) 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.

m) Financial instruments

The charity 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

n) 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.

There are no key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
