TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 2020

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their annual report together with the unaudited financial statements of the Bloody Good Period Ltd for the 12 months period ended 31 December 2020. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company’s governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (SORP 2015 FRS102).

Section B: Structure, Governance and Management

Description of the charity’s trusts

Bloody Good Period (BGP) was registered as a company limited by guarantee on 1st February 2019 (company number: 11801410) and became a registered charity on 16 October 2019 (charity registration number: 1185849).

It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated February 2019 as amended by a special resolution dated 14 October 2019. Its registered office is The Interchange, Father Thomas Room, Doric Way, London NW1 1LB.

The governance of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees. Day to day management is by the CEO, who draws on the support and expertise of the highly experienced Board of Trustees as needed.

Trustee selection methods

Trustees are elected and co-opted under the terms of the governing document, the Articles of Association of Bloody Good Period, section 22. Regular reviews are held to identify any expertise gaps within the Board of Trustees and appointments are made where required to strengthen the Board of Trustees, subject to all trustees’ approval.

When it is necessary to appoint new trustees, due to either a trustee stepping down or a gap of expertise in the board is identified, recruitment will initially begin through the networks of the board and management team. Applicants will be reviewed by trustees and the successful applicant will be invited to attend a trustee meeting. Following this, on the

2

provision that the board is satisfied and the applicant still wishes to join the trustee board, they will be appointed.

No other person or external body is entitled to appoint any trustees of the charity. The Trustees who served during the period and after the year end are shown on page 1.

Section C: Objectives and Activities

Summary of the objects of the charity

The Charity's objects (Objects) are specifically restricted to the following:

To relieve period poverty for the public benefit among, particularly but not exclusively, refugees, asylum seekers, and otherwise displaced people who menstruate and their dependents living in the UK by providing menstrual and hygiene supplies and essential menstrual education.

“Period poverty” refers to the inability to afford or have access to essential menstrual products.

The People We Work With (Beneficiaries)

Asylum seekers often live in extreme poverty, are disallowed to work in the UK, and are entitled to just £39.63[1] per week to live on. Many report to have heavy and irregular periods, thought to result from the trauma of displacement, and a heavy and/ or irregular period could cost around £20 per month, almost a quarter of an asylum seeker’s income could be spent on caring for their reproductive health. Usually, it doesn’t.

“We are sleeping outside; in the bus, in the park. We are not allowed to work. We don’t have food. It is no good; it gives us too much stress. People don’t see what we are going through. To have to cope with your period on top of all this is too much.”

Stella, asylum-seeking woman from the DRC

get#:~:text=You'll%20get%20%C2%A339.63,cash%20from%20a%20cash%20machine.

3

Female and menstruating (who do not identify as women) asylum seekers are not offered any extra funding to purchase menstrual protection for themselves or other family members who menstruate. If a person does not have access to menstrual products, they lack social mobility, perpetuate shameful associations of their bodies due to the likes of the fear of leaking in public, and can develop infections or rashes from using inadequate products or homemade methods.

Main activities undertaken for the public benefit

The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning its activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

Section D: Achievements and Performance

Provided period products for the relief of period poverty

Recognising the trauma and anxiety caused by not having access to essential menstrual products, BGP donated 66,846 packs of period products (via Group (eg drop-ins or foodbanks), “Take What You Need” Scheme (open access to products during the pandemic), and individual orders and 29 reusable products including menstrual cups and underwear.

These products were donated to women and people who menstruate throughout London and the UK via asylum seeker and refugee drop in centres, community hubs and food banks. The most suitable method for those who can’t afford products to obtain them (for free) are at centres and activities they already attend. Therefore, BGP is designed around working with these centres to ensure they are able to give out a sustainable flow of period products to those who attend them.

Facilitating the personal choices and comfort of the people we work with is paramount so products are donated generously, encouraging each person to take as many packs as they need for themself, and dependents e.g. daughters/people in their family or household who menstruate.

4

Using information from the centres we supported with products, we calculated that we reached at least 12,331 people through our services last year.

Menstrual Education and Awareness

Bloody Good Education is a programme that freely provides female reproductive and sexual health information and clinical service-signposting to asylum seekers and refugees in the UK. Before the pandemic, sessions were held in London only. However, as we were forced to move online, this made our sessions available for centres throughout the UK. Bloody Good Education (BGEd) programme was set up in October 2019, with funding from The Body Shop for one year. BGEd began to organise workshops, facilitated by

gynaecologists and sexual health doctors, in women’s services for asylum seekers and refugees across London. We held three sessions of Menstrual, Sexual and Reproductive Health in partnership with West London Welcome and Women for Refugee Women, two centres who make use of our product provision, reaching around 50 women.

In 2020, we continued the programme, with additional funding from the British Medical Association and the Garfield Weston Foundation.

The Body Shop also funded an experimental year-long programme entitled “Decolonising Menstruation”, which we created in partnership with the CIO Decolonising Contraception. The programme began in June with the intention to work with refugee communities and Black and people of colour to destigmatise menstruation and discover “how the sacred become dirty.”

Number of attendees in BGEd in 2020: 125

Number of attendees in Decolonising Menstruation in 2020: 13

Further Awareness

Throughout 2020 we continued to build on our work of Bloody Good Employers (BGE), a scheme designed to help employers

  1. Recognise and evaluate their current support structures for people who menstruate

  2. Improve those support structures, raising awareness through training and shared understanding

5

  1. Show an active commitment to menstrual equity in the UK

  2. Actively raise awareness of this everyday issue for employers and employees alike

In addition, the team produced a research report exposing the problems faced by those who menstruate in the workplace. In addition to raising awareness of period poverty and lack of menstrual education in the workplace, Bloody Good Employers will also act as a significant fundraiser for the charity. In 2021, BGE will be registered as a separate subsidiary company to allow profits to be channelled back into the charity.

Section E: Financial Review

During the period ended 31 December 2020, the charity received a total income of £480,002 (2019: £407,834). Expenditure totaled £452,242 (2019: £229,174). The net income for the period was £27,760 (20219: £178,660).

Reserves Policy

The policy of the charity is to maintain such reserves as to ensure the long-term viability of the charity and enable it to fulfil its objects for the foreseeable future. Trustees consider it reasonable to maintain four months running cost as reserves which are estimated to be approximately £136,505. General reserves at the period end stood at £169,616 (2019: £173,172). Unrestricted reserves are available, at the discretion of the trustees, to further the general objects of the charity. The unrestricted funds available to the charity that are not tied up in fixed assets, as at 31 December 2020 were £168,969 (2019: £172,409). This is considered sufficient to meet these objectives.

Section G: Declaration

Going Concern

The trustees are satisfied that the charity will continue to be a going concern for the foreseeable future.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees (who are also directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

d) state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

e) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report, which has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006, was approved by the Board on and signed on its behalf.

Bloody Good Period Ltd Notes to the financial statements

For the period ended 31 December 2020

1 Accounting policies

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

The charity has not prepared a statement of cash flows, taking advantage of Section 1A of FRS 102 in relation to small entities.

b) Public benefit entity

The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

c) Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

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 amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

d) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that 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.

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

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

11

Bloody Good Period Ltd Notes to the financial statements

For the period ended 31 December 2020

1 Accounting policies (continued)

g) Expenditure

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:

h) Allocation of support costs

Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned on the following basis which are an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity.

i) Operating leases

Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

j) Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities.

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:

3 years

k) Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In general, cost is determined on a first in first out basis and includes transport and handling costs. Net realisable value is the price at which stocks can be sold in the normal course of business after allowing for the costs of realisation. Provision is made where necessary for obsolete, slow moving and defective stocks. Donated items of stock, held for distribution or resale, are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

l) 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.

For the period ended 31 December 2020

1 Accounting policies (continued)

m) 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. Cash balances exclude any funds held on behalf of service users.

n) 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.

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.
