The Article I l Trust is registered with the Ckority Commi&sion &8 a CIO with registration

Founded in 2019 and becoming activ¢ in 2020. the Article I l Trust is dedicated to defending
the right of assembly as guaranteed by Article I l of the European Convention on Human
Rights.
We recognise that much of the most imrrt)rtant work in this cause is carried out by gr&ss roots
organisations, working directly with those who exercise their rights. However. these groups
have found it incre&singly hard to access the resources they need to undertake their vitsl
work.
As such, the Article I l Trust seeks to identify and wotk closely with these groups, se¢uring
funding for their chariiable endeavours and promoting their work. This includes research and
education inlo Lssues sutrounding the right to proiest, as well as direct legal guidance and
training to people who attend protests
Charitable Ob ectives
Our Charilable Puryose as set out in our goveming documents is:

the activity is not the dominant meaDS by which the Gharity c8rri¢s out its activities.
Evaluation Summa
2024- 2025 was a successfid year for The Article 11 Trust ITh which it continued to expand its
Small Grants Progranune and were able to SUPFKYrt eleven grantees to launch projects that
meet ils charitsble aims.

The Articl¢ I l Trust continued its partnerships with Netpol and Green and Black Cross to
research and document infringements on the right to protest.
In terms of administration. The Article I l TnLSt recruited one new trustee to our board who
added to its fundraising capacity and developed a five-year strategy plan to increase the
cawity of the organisation to support pro*St rights across the UK.
ChariiubleAetivilies
Small GrAnts ProgrAmme
Activities funded by these grants directly counter the chilling effect of protest laws in three
principal ways. Firstly. they enable activists to access training in their rights, demystifyin8
new legislation and allomqng them to take infomied decisions when deciding io engage in
protest. Secondly, they fund practical suptK)rt during and immediately after protests take
place. This support is not prescriptive but is del¢miined by the groups concerned. It may
include, for example. training and equipment for legal observers. police station support for
protesters who have been arrested. or software to enable back•OtYi¢e connections. Thirdly il
supports longer lemi needs of protesters. for example court supFM)rt, which is invaluable to
Ihose who become caught up in the criminal justice system.
The Article I l Trust provided funding for eleven grassroots groups who c8rried out a range of
projects. Much of the fundin8 for the Small Granis Programme came from a grant from
Lankelly Chase. Funding received from The Oak Foundation was allotied io its small grants
programme and its administration costs. Sev¢Tal Know Your Rights trainings were funded,
including train the trainer sessions which will greatly increase the capacity to share
knowledge of protest rights across Britain.
The Article I l Trust received closing grant reports from eleven grantees funded from 2023 -
2024. Notably these included fimding to LGBT+ Migrants Rise who reached over 400 people
at events, providing people affected by rncism, IrJnsphobia and homophobia with education
on their protest rights. The Article I l Trust has continued to provide Core funding for groups
that support protest0￿ to enact their article I l rights such as Climate Action Supp)rt Pathway
who hav¢ supN)rted 400 ￿Ople with legal support. The AniLlr I l Trust remains uniquely
placed to support frontline organisations to provide ￿pert support to protestCTS.
Documenting the use of pow¢rs to restrict prolests
The Article I l Tn￿t funded several reports into the testriction of protests, including a report
on the use of safeguarding powers to restri¢t article 11 rights in Wales and England. looking
specifically at how families and young people have been targeted. In March 2025, Netpol
published the Stat¢ of Protest Policing ReFK)rt 2024 which was funded by the Barry Amiel &
Nonnan Melburn Trust in parthership with Article I l Trust. In conjuncfion with the report
launch, an event w&$ held in-person in London with 120 attendees. This provided activists,
journalists and law makers with an in4epth review of the ways in which article I l rights
have been restricted in Britai

GovernaDc¢ and Administration
During the r¢portiDg period two trustees SteP￿d down. and three new tNstees joined the
board of t￿SteeS to support the trust's fijndraising activities. The Article I l Trust received
funding from the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trusl (JRCT) who's funding contributed
towards the adminislrativ¢ costs of running The Article I l Trust. Trustees oversaw a review
oEThe Article I l Trust's financial procedures to ensure that they confonn to best praetices.
The administration consultant subsequently reviewed and enhanced the grant giving process
of the organi5ation. to optimise th¢ process for Lx)th grantees and the I￿￿t. They also
supwjrted the trustees in the Fundraising and Grant Giving Committees to carry out their
rol¢s of managing relationships and reporting to fund¢rs, and of approving grant-outs to
recipients, respectively
