ini�ated by In Place of War in 2019, who con�nue to oversee the development of the space, support M&E and support the development of programmes and fundraising.
Development’s Urban Youth Oasis, or RAD for short. The centre is home to a music studio, computer lab, library, internet cafe, outdoor theatre and sports facili�es. RAD is a community-based registered NPO / NPC & PBO. It has an independent board of Directors and currently employs 2 full �me staff from the Lavender Hill community, 2 full �me volunteer staff, 4 volunteer programme facilitators, 2 gardeners and has a team of 25 youth volunteers who assist with the events and holiday programme. The centre opened its doors to the young people in January 2023 and has been running many impac�ul programmes, and now has 100 registered young people. For the �me being, numbers have been capped at 100 due to staffing constraints.
Key deliverables/outputs:
RAD has completed 80% of Phase 1 of the Urban Youth Oasis. Phase 1 consists of three classrooms; a music studio, mul�purpose library, computer room, and ablu�ons. The community gardens / small scale farm has also been started and which will be ready for the first harvest in January 2024.
Programme overview: All Rise Above Development programmes are run directly a�er school, Mondays to Fridays and Saturday mornings, working with children between the age of 6 to 18 years old. Youth related programmes/workshops can include youth up to the age of 25. Age groups may differ when surrounding organisa�ons/partners make use of the venue for programmes rela�ng to RAD's vision & mission. The biggest priority is to create a safe, learning and inclusive environment for the children/youth entering RAD’s programmes. Close partnerships are built with the surrounding primary schools and high schools, with volunteers/staff coming mainly from the community. The programmes have been researched and planned according to the needs of the community.
Quotes from beneficiaries:
More than a year ago RAD stood at the crossroads, facing the harsh winds of gang violence and challenges. Today, we stand stronger, shaped by resilience, unity, and the unwavering support of IPOW. Our a�er-school programs have become havens of growth, transforming the youth of Lavender Hill. In the face of difficul�es, we've emerged not just as a centre but as a sanctuary. Thank you, IPOW, for ensuring our doors stay open, crea�ng a safe haven that echoes with the laughter and dreams of genera�ons shaping the vibrant future of Lavender Hill.
- Malany Meyer.

Inspired by these examples, In Place of War decided to launch a project to facilitate and display the amazing content from our change-maker network around the world. Each organisa�on was supported to par�cipate in the project with a produc�on fee, and camera equipment.

7 x films depic�ng cultural organisa�ons and spaces

Now they can be with us safely, experience our quo�dian. Most importantly as ar�sts whose mobility isn't easy, the Living Museum gave us the opportunity to visit our community across the world"

“The course seemed to happen at just the right moment in my evolu�on as an entrepreneurial ar�st. It gave me confidence to believe in my idea and strive to make it happen. I always imagined entrepreneurs to be fearless and I lacked the bite. But what I've seen instead is a drive to share an idea that they want to see put into prac�ce, and that makes the en�re experience less daun�ng.”
“The course exceeded my expecta�ons - it built a more solid founda�onal knowledge to producing works, giving us all the frameworks we needed and more to engage in ethical, transparent and best prac�ce.”
“I have new understanding on funding opportuni�es, on healthy ways of networking, and on expanding beyond my niche. I have understood that I must not limit myself to what I know or the circles I am used to, but to look beyond that and look for other opportuni�es that I had not thought of before. Basically a new understanding of how to approach what I do, where I want to go and how to get there.”

In my advisory role on the GAB with In Place of War, being able to introduce people from my wider network to those making REAL change in their communi�es - whether it be for an equipment dona�on, se�ng up an ar�st collabora�on, or simply for advice - I can honestly say, it's the best feeling in the world, and all par�es get something out of the interac�on.

- you can’t apply what happens here to anywhere else. You need to do what is right for the place. Think globally but act locally. The answers and solu�ons are different in different places”

Financial review
In Place of War CIO has con�nued to raise funds from a wide range of sources so as not to rely heavily on limited sources of income. 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 Bri�sh Council (who support our crea�ve entrepreneurial work). Total income was £294,205 (2022: £269,587), and expenditure was £378,637 (2022: £292,378), resul�ng in a deficit of £84,432 (2022: deficit £22,791).
Reserves policy
The policy of the charity is to carry three months of free reserves at any one �me.
At 30 June 2023, the charity held unrestricted free funds of £14,302, down from £88,005 in the prior year, and restricted funds of £95,863. Our unrestricted funds are a buffer for any overheads not paid for by direct project funding, and if no other funding sources are available.

In Place of War
Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023
Plans for the future
We are expanding our income streams and are brokering conversa�ons with HNIs, trusts and founda�ons and u�lising our Global Music Industry Advisory Board to help make us more resilient and build our capacity. We have developed a detailed strategic fundraising plan across the next three years and recruited new trustees to help us deliver it.
Structure, governance and management
We have a board of ten trustees, with two change-maker observers. We meet four �mes across the year. Our trustees are from diverse backgrounds - academics, entrepreneurs and cultural execu�ves. Our management team consists of a CEO and COO, with a suppor�ng team of project managers, finance managers and a Director of Research and Educa�on.
The organisa�on is a Charitable Incorporated Organisa�on. It was incorporated on 22 June 2016 as a Community Interest Company and converted to a Charitable Incorporated Organisa�on on 22 March 2019.
The charity was established by its cons�tu�on which sets out the objects and powers of the charity and its governance.
In Place of War CIO recruits new trustees by iden�fying gaps in skill sets against our development strategy and using our networks to iden�fy candidates. Candidates are either able to apply for adver�sed trustee posi�ons or 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 mee�ng (4 per year) and registered on the minutes. There are no cons�tu�onal provisions for appointment.
We recognise that our Chair must step down this year and will begin a process of recruitment for a replacement Chair. We are also developing a Youth Advisory Board (of which the Chair will observe the Board mee�ngs), an Ar�st Advisory Board (diverse and inclusive) and are developing an environmental posi�on on the Board of trustees to help us measure, understand and reduce our environmental impact.
Remunera�on policy for key management personnel
Trustees regularly review remunera�on for key management personnel; we are aware that In Place of War CIO currently benchmarks below the market in rela�on to execu�ve remunera�on. This is a live conversa�on with the execu�ve and management, who remain fully commi�ed to the organisa�on. Trustees have commi�ed to review remunera�on as the charity grows.
Plans for the future
In 2024, the team at In Place of War are launching several new ini�a�ves. 2024 is In Place of War’s 20th Year Anniversary. From the beginnings of a research project at The University of Manchester in 2004, In Place of War has become a global charity opera�ng with a network of 130 change-maker organisa�ons who are making change with the arts across places of conflict, and in the Global North with ground-breaking youth-led programmes inspired by the innova�ve change-makers across the world.
In a rapidly changing world and, following our responsive programma�c shi�s during the pandemic, In Place of War has developed a new, futureproof strategy. It responds to the needs of our change-makers across the world and the communi�es they serve, o�en as symptoms or consequences of cri�cal global challenges we face as a planet - our accelera�ng climate crisis, increasing threats to civic spaces, brutal armed conflict impac�ng civilians, the cost-of-living crisis, and increasing inequality.

In Place of War
Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023
During the pandemic we reflected on what it means to be a disadvantaged young person in the UK and devised a pilot programme bringing our Global networks and learnings to the UK through a programme called 100 Agents of Change. Our new strategy seeks to build on the success of that programme across the next three years and allows us to work with new funding partners and build rela�onships. This is part of a commitment to decolonise knowledge and foment intercultural learning, boost par�cipa�on of underrepresented groups in the arts and drive arts-based social change in the UK at the grassroots and at policy level.
We also engaged in a project working with a network of over eighty scien�sts, indigenous communi�es and musicians, to tell the story of the biodiversity of the Colombian rainforest through music. This is organically leading to the development of a new area of focus for In Place of War around climate, crea�vity and conflict. We are building a four-year programme of ac�vi�es using music as a mechanism to engage a wider audience to inspire ac�on around the climate crisis, with a focus on climate jus�ce
Following the success of establishing our Global Music Industry Advisory Board, with 23 of the biggest music companies in the world helping support our change-makers across the world, we will con�nue to support a movement that uses music to drive posi�ve change. This includes helping to establish new music spaces across the world; mobilising and distribu�ng millions of dollars’ worth of equipment; crea�ng women-led music projects; training people in how to use equipment; capacity building with grassroots music organisa�ons; developing music educa�on programmes and rolling out our new #HackMusic programme across the music spaces we support, as well as developing programmes for music industry execu�ves around sustainability.
In Place of War has a strong and impac�ul history of using music to make meaningful, las�ng and posi�ve social change and our work is more important now than ever before.
We have recruited members of a youth advisory board, an ar�st advisory board and a climate advisory board, all of which will have representa�ves sit on the main Board of trustees to hold us accountable for our decisions and ensure they are aligned with our vision, mission and the need

Related par�es and rela�onships with other organisa�ons
In Place of War CIO is closely related to and is united in purpose with In Place of War USA and In Place Of War, Ireland, but does not share any trustees. In Place of War USA is a 501c3 organisa�on and has independent governance. The main purpose of the USA charity is to raise funds for In Place of War CIO. Neither charity exerts control over the other or has the power to appoint trustees. Transac�ons in the period between the two en��es are disclosed in note 10 to the accounts. The Irish en�ty was established to enable closer links with countries in the European Union so the work of In Place of War can carried out with greater ease.
Statement of responsibili�es of the trustees
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objects and in planning future ac�vi�es and se�ng policy for the future. The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accoun�ng Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accoun�ng Prac�ce).
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 applica�on of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
● Select suitable accoun�ng policies and then apply them consistently
● Observe the methods and principles in the Chari�es SORP
● Make judgements and es�mates that are reasonable and prudent
● State whether applicable UK Accoun�ng Standards and statements of recommended prac�ce 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 con�nue in opera�on
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accoun�ng records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any �me the financial posi�on of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Chari�es Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the preven�on and detec�on of fraud and other irregulari�es.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial informa�on included on the charity’s website. Legisla�on in the United Kingdom governing the prepara�on and dissemina�on of financial statements may differ from legisla�on in other jurisdic�ons.

In Place of War CIO
Independent examiner’s report to the trustees for the year ended 30 June 2023
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2023 set out on pages 17 to 28.
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.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023
1 Accounting policies
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 accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: 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) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following 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 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
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.

In Place Of War CIO
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023 (continued)
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.
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.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023 (continued)
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.
