Learnings from Lockdown: Supporting Change-Makers in the Global South's Communities Facing Critical Challenges
Summary
Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, In Place of War worked with grassroots change-makers in music, theatre, and across the arts to use artistic creativity to transform cultures of violence and suffering into hope, opportunity and freedom. Our changemakers work in some of the world’s most challenging contexts - post-conflict, urban gang affected communities, and conflict zones where other international organisations rarely have a presence. They are resourceful, resilient and responsive to the critical issues facing their communities.
With the coronavirus crisis, we have leveraged the local connections and wisdom of our changemakers to enable direct, bespoke, and grassroots support determined and led by those located in communities facing the pandemic. Many of the challenges these communities are facing during the crisis are not a consequence of the virus per se; rather Covid-19 has exacerbated critical issues the communities were already facing (conflict, food insecurity, lack of basic sanitation, access to information).
In COVID times, these communities are hit the hardest for a number of reasons, including lack of PPE, lack of medical infrastructure, increased conflict/violence, lack of education, lack of authentic news, and precarious and informal employment which is impossible to carry out in lockdown (street vendors, couriers) - resulting in people unable to buy food, medicine and other essentials. By providing financial assistance and a global support network to community organisers in these fragile contexts, we are building resilience and supporting community driven solutions for sustainable development in places too often left behind by global humanitarian aid and development communities.

Our COVID response:
-
Mobilising funding and a global support network for change-makers.
-
In Place of War has been issuing small grants of between $1,000 and $2,000 to change makers from our existing global network of change-makers spanning 24 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. With this support, the change-makers have been able to amplify the impact of the Covid projects as they are able to leverage additional support, scale work or develop new projects that respond to issues in real time.
-
A call for applications was sent to an invited group of change-makers, resulting in 45 applications
-
A small panel from the In Place of War Board and team reviewed applications, selected recipients, and funds were distributed, having immediate impact. The overall process took only two weeks.
-
We have distributed $50,000 so far to change-makers in 31 communities in 13 countries. With this funding, they have organised community kitchens, distributed food packages, and fed thousands in their communities.
3. Equipment Donations from Native Instruments & Roland
Start Date of Project: November 2020
Project Manager Names: Emma Bartholomew (Relationships) / Roz Logan (Logistics/Operations)
Overview of Project: Roland has generously donated a range of world-leading equipment to some of the music organisations we support in countries including Columbia, Kenya, Lebanon, South Africa and Uganda. This collaboration will allow the change-makers and their communities to create, play, produce and record the music that brings about positive change every day.
Native Instruments has also generously committed to donating cutting-edge hardware and software to 10 organisations in our change-maker network across countries including Columbia, El Salvador, Kenya, Palestine, Venezuela and Zimbabwe. Their contribution will make a significant impact on the resources and potential creative output of the recipient projects IPOW supports in these locations.
Key deliverables/outputs:
Roland committed to donating equipment to “as many organisations IPOW supports as is logistically/feasibly possible”. Roland normally elects a charity partner for 1 year maximum, but they’ve agreed to extend their IPOW partnership as it fulfils so many of their goals & has been a mutually very positive relationship. Native Instruments committed to supporting 10 organisations with hardware and software. Ongoing logistical issues have made delivery of hardware difficult and, at times, impossible, across Latin America, especially Colombia, so Native has recently decided they can only supply software in the continent at this point.
Quote from beneficiary:
Liz Kilili, Creative Director and Cultural Manager, Creatives Garage, Nairobi, Kenya, “ Thanks so much to In Place Of War and Native Instruments for supporting us with this donation. It’s going to make such a difference to us; we can’t wait to play with our new “toys ”!”

6. Cucusonic
Start Date of Project: 1st Sept 2020
Project Manager Name: Ruth Daniel
Overview of Project:
Cucusonic is an album created via a collaboration combining the work of a collective of Colombian bio-scientists, anthropologists and musicians, partnered with University of Manchester’s ‘Granada Centre for Visual Anthropology’ and charity, In Place of War. The collaborative team set up a network with diverse local communities to collect and record sounds and stories from the Colombian Neotropical forests, inviting high profile artists and producers to create tracks from the field recordings. The aim of the project and resulting album is to raise awareness for the biodiversity of Colombia and its importance globally by translating natural soundscape recordings and bioacoustic data into new music.

In Place of War
Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021
The album features artists, including Bræv, Brian Eno, Coldcut, Fer Isella, Fingathing, Iggor Cavalera, Kate Simko, Laima Leyton, Martyn Ware, Matthew Dear, Mexican Institute of Sound and Osunlade.
Kate Simko said of her track on the album, “I wanted to include a feeling of South American Andean culture alongside nature and the modern world (via electronics). It is our duty to make more conscious choices and preserve the biodiversity of the rainforest.” Brazilian artists, Laima Leyton and Iggor Cavalera, commented on the story recorded by an indigenous birdwatcher and naturalist, Miguel Portura, which they incorporated into their track, Bien Paraos. They said, “‘Bien Paraos’ translates to ‘Standing Upright’. It is a homage to Miguel Portura who found one of these birds in his community during the COVID 19 lockdown. In these times, it seems everyone can relate to standing upright.”
The concept behind the album and wider project is that the sounds of vital habitats and their species, such as in this case, birds, bats and frogs, can be heard and creatively interpreted in different ways. In the Cucusonic project, these sounds have been used as a measure of biodiversity, revealing the health of an environment, as a feature of the cultural imagination of local communities, and as a creative resource, inspiring artists to compose and produce.
The restrictions of the pandemic meant that the project had to be adapted to be produced remotely. Field recordings were made using state-of-the-art sensors - bioacoustic monitors – as well as simple devices like mobile phones and shared digitally with the artists. The result was a carbon friendly production, and the album itself will be made of 100% recyclable materials, to be released just days ahead of the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference at the start of November.

Project Manager Name: Abbi Gutierrez
Overview of Project:
Make Art Not War is a book written by Ruth Daniels and Teresa Bean, which is currently in the process of being edited for publication.
IPOW has been connecting with people at the grassroots who are making phenomenal change in their communities, countries, and world with limited access to resources, using art as the mechanism for change. Whether it be hip-hop on Riders Island, NYC’s most notorious prison; puppeteering to stop the demolition of your community in Delhi or beatboxing to help people with speech impediments - art is the magnet that draws in a community to fight for justice, change and equality.
In this book – MAKE ART NOT WAR - we tell the stories of those amazing and inspirational people, most under the age of 35 years old, most from the Global South, who have used art for change. We explore their methodologies and case studies of their work. We wrote this book to inspire young people that you do have agency. You just need to unlock the potential.
Key output: Published book
13. 100 Agents of Change (ongoing)
Start Date of Project: 13 April 21
Project Manager Name: Rozenn Logan
Overview of Project:
The 100 Agents of Change project is a new art and activism project connecting some of the most revolutionary innovative artists and change makers from around the world with young people from marginalised communities in the UK, to share their experiences, skills and knowledge. Responding to an increasingly polarised political and social landscape in the UK and prevailing socio-economic challenges, 100 Agents of Change seeks to promote arts-based community activism and development of leadership qualities in marginalised young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. The project included recruiting 11 youth partner orgs & a Youth Advisory board (YAB to help shape the programme), as well as 100 young people to take part.
In 2021, the 100 Agents of Change Residency was held virtually and allowed artists from the In Place of War network around the world to share their skills and knowledge of how to use what we have around us - creativity and our communities - to make the change we want to see in the world. The online residency took place over four weeks in November 2021, with a programme co-designed and shaped by the young people. The next phase of the programme is to support the young people who have taken part in the online residency to take those new skills and knowledge back into their communities across the country and use them to promote social cohesion through art and activism. There is the opportunity to apply for seed funding & mentoring to support the development of their community projects, which is the stage we are entering into now. There will also be an in-person celebration event in summer 2022.
Key deliverables/outputs:
Please note - this project will continue until the end of March 2022, so the focus of this report is on the residency programme aspect.
For the young people / agents of change:
- Develop leadership skills and behaviours, nurture creative talent and understanding of agency

It's a really rough time to be a young person in the arts and hearing that people have struggled, worked hard, and then have seen their dreams of change realized is extremely inspirational!
-
I feel completely ready to start a new creative project, hopeful and empowered, I have thought about arts that are not usually included in my creative practice, and feel like its expanded exponentially

In Place of War Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021
Project manager name: Lucy Evans
Description of initiative:
In Autumn 2021, we engaged members of the public and our worldwide music industry partners in a collaborative fundraising challenge - to aim to cover a 7,200 mile / 11,600km distance across some of the 26 countries where In Place of War has projects in Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. Participants chose their own goals to be completed at their own pace, to and sought sponsorship for their efforts. There is the chance for you and your team to win amazing prizes donated by some of the event’s DJs, partners and entertainment industry networks.
Through collaboration and partnership with our music industry networks, October was sound tracked by streamed raves by DJs from all over the world, celebrating the efforts of all the fundraisers being sponsored to complete their distances.
Money raised collectively through the project will go towards helping to support music studio developments at the Nave Coletiva in São Paulo, Brazil, and Rise Above Development in Lavender Hill, South Africa.
Outcomes:
• Collectively, fundraising teams, individuals and partners on the project raised over £10,600K to date, through the fundraising campaign with the campaign still open

Beneficiaries of our services
The activities generated benefits for a variety of beneficiaries across communities in Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America. These included community educators working in informal settings, cultural leaders in marginalised communities and areas affected by conflict, artists, people with disabilities and young people. These groups benefited from the activities through:
-
Issuing of the In Place of War covid 19 emergency fund, supporting grassroots organisations across the globe via small hardship grants
-
development of new knowledge and boosting local capacity building in country (Enterprise training, music production training and network visits and exchanges)
-
economic participation (payment to trainers and artists and community groups for hosting visits and spend in the community during the activities)
-
Social participation of marginalised/underrepresented groups in the arts who are often excluded or isolated in their communities, such as young people living in poverty, refugees, people with disabilities, women and people from minority ethnic backgrounds.
Financial review
In Place of War CIO has had a healthy year of funding from a range of sources. Our key sources of funding are: Mark Leonard Trust (unreserved for core development); The Linbury Trust (for the development of our cultural spaces programme work in South Africa); and The British Council (who support our creative entrepreneurial work). Total income was £251,470 (2020: £369,597), and expenditure was £263,641 (2020: £273,656), resulting in a deficit of £12,171 (2020: surplus £95,941). In the previous financial year the charity received significant funds from Beatport for distribution to beneficiaries. The distribution was completed in the year ended 30 June 2021.
Reserves policy
In Place of War CIO has experienced a period of growth through the period reported. During this period, Trustees and Executive have been monitoring cash-flow and financial resilience. As the organisation grows through the next reporting period(s) Trustees will set and begin to action an appropriate financial reserves policy to ensure In Place of War CIO has the necessary financial resilience commensurate with a charity in the sector (and benchmarked against others where appropriate).

In Place of War Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021
At 30 June 2021, we held unrestricted funds of £68,110 and restricted funds of £102,191. Our unrestricted funds are a buffer for any overheads not paid for by direct project funding, and if no other funding sources are available. We currently hold three months of unrestricted reserves.
Plans for the future
Looking forward to 2022 – 2023, In Place of War is focusing on developing a Global Change-Maker hub, which will act as a physical centre and platform to build from and strengthen our global network of change-makers. We will expand our education offer, bringing new innovative programmes, driven by our change-makers across the Global South. We are exploring more work in the UK and USA – particularly around our successful pilot of our 100 Agents of Change programme. We have recruited three new board members to help with our new strategic approach. We continue to explore new avenues for funding, aligned with our strategic targets. As we are still very much in COVID, we are developing flexible plans that are responding to constantly changing times.
Structure, governance and management
The organisation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registered as a charity on date 22nd March 2019.
The charity was established under a constitution which established the objects and powers of the charity.
All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 8 to the accounts.
Adviser to the board: Irina Martin.
Team: Ruth Daniel (CEO), Teresa Bean (Director of Research and Education), Alison Surtees (Head of Anna Lindh Foundation Network for In Place of War CIO UK), Fiona Daniel (Bookkeeper).
The organisation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. It was incorporated on 22 June 2016 as a Community Interest Company and converted to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 22 March 2019.
The charity was established by its constitution which sets out the objects and powers of the charity and its governance.
In Place of War CIO recruits new trustees by identifying gaps in skill sets against our development strategy and using our networks to identify candidates. Candidates are approached and invited to sit on the board. The trustees perform due diligence on each candidate. The new trustees sit at board level first and then formally join the board and this is acknowledged in a trustee meeting (4 per year) and registered on the minutes. There are no constitutional provisions for appointment.
Remuneration policy for key management personnel
Trustees regularly review remuneration for key management personnel; we are aware that In Place of War CIO currently benchmarks below the market in relation to executive remuneration. This is a live conversation with the executive and management, who remain fully committed to the organisation. Trustees have committed to review remuneration as the charity grows.

In Place of War
Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021
Charity law 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 of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these 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 estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
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 that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They 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 for the year ended 30 June 2021
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2021 set out on pages 19 to 29.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Other matters
Your attention is to drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts (financial statements) in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
We understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in
accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1 Accounting policies
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
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 preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 - (Charities SORP (FRS 102) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
In Place Of War CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
b Judgments and estimates
The trustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
c Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
d 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 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.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
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.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2021 (continued)
f Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
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.
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. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
-
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
h Operating leases
Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
i Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows: Equipment 33%
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 Creditors and provisions
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.
l 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 measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2 Legal status of the charity
The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charity Commisssion in the United Kingdom (England and Wales) and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the members of the CIO have no liability to contribute to its assets and no personal responsibility for settling its debts and liabilities.

7 Grants paid
During the year the charity made grants payments to organisations totalling £59,909 (2020: £114,653). The funds were raised by Beatport and paid to the Association for Electronic Music Inc (AFEM), who asked the charity to administer the funds on their behalf. Funds were provided to those AFEM member companies to be directly given to employees who were either laid off due to the existing COVID-19 crisis, or, employees who are in danger of being laid-off without the assistance of this additional capital. It is Beatport and AFEM’s intention to help as many individuals as possible with these donations. However, preference is being given to lower-earning workers and those companies that represent a genuine need for assistance.
