About ReportOUT
Since its birth in 2019, ReportOUT have been at the forefront of protecting the human rights of sexual and gender minorities in the United Kingdom, and beyond. In our remit, we are a global organisation, with a global reach toward every single nation state, principality and region.
Our Theory of Change
ReportOUT believe that globally all sexual and gender minorities deserve to live with safety, dignity and should have equal rights. We believe that no one should be left behind. To do this we empower people to elevate their voices, ensure that their human rights are met and make certain that sexual and gender minorities are not left behind in their nation states development. We ensure that lasting and positive change is felt across the globe.
We achieve this through collaborating with others in all nation states (including the U.K.), through documenting human rights infringements, and through bringing together collective voices to educate others and expand support for human rights activism. Through doing this we shift power by ensuring that the human rights of sexual and gender minorities are not left behind or ignored, through influencing governments and policy makers to make positive social change.
To make these changes happen we mobilise our expertise in research, campaigning, events, and education, and we bring our partnership model to work inclusively with people in, and outside, of their nation state.
How do we do this?
-
Report – We work with partner organisations, and activists, in different nations states to engage in research projects which document the human rights infringements and the development needs of sexual and gender minorities.
-
Inform – We educate and train the next generation of campaigners and we offer human rights and development training to the wider public. We elevate, through events and other means, the voices of sexual and gender minorities in different nation states, to gain wider public support and to highlight the lived experiences of sexual and gender minorities.
-
Defend – We campaign to make social change happen and we use our research to inform this change at a national and global level. We work to show how human rights, climate change, and development issues faced by sexual and gender minorities are important and interlinked, through our ongoing campaigns.
ReportOUT are predominantly a volunteer-led organisation. We are strategically managed by a team of international Trustees, and by a team of operational Trustees, who support the work of our large team of volunteers.
Through our various projects, whether it is training up new campaigners, engaging with research projects with partners, engaging with SDGs, or members of the public submitting to our Flag in the Map Project (more information about this later in this report), ReportOUT have touched key areas of the globe in 2021-2022.

A Statement from ReportOUT's Chair
Andrew Keith Dalton: Founder and Chair of Trustees
What a year! Despite the myriad of challenges facing the world right now; from changing economic conditions, altering our work habits in a supposedly 'Post-COVID' world, the damage wrought by the Climate Emergency, and some regressive movements by some nation states, we have held firm at ReportOUT in supporting some of the most vulnerable people across the globe.
From our previous annual review in April 2021, we have continued to grow substantially as an organisation, boasting what we think are some impressive impact statistics and case studies, threaded throughout this report. As ever, without our strong, dedicated, and committed team of volunteers, we could not do the work that we do. They are our global family and so please read what they have accomplished.
The launch of our new Three-Year Strategy for 2022-2025 will continue to guide us toward success, and we hope that you will join us on our journey in doing so. So, we invite you to please read about our proud progress, and to reach out to us, and work with us to deliver the goals as part of the United Nations Agenda 2030, and to stop the human rights abuses against sexual and gender minorities.
Finally, to everyone who has attended our events, donated toward our organisation, or supported us in what we do, thank you.

Our Patron's Statement
Aderonke Apata: Patron of ReportOUT
I am so excited as a Patron, for the global works of ReportOUT in ensuring that the fundamental human rights of SOGIESC people and their communities are advanced! These tireless and fearless works have earned ReportOUT the recognition to be nominated for the Community Organisation Award for Multi-Strand in the prestigious National Diversity Awards, 2022.
As a passionate award winning campaigner myself for LGBTIQ+ people, especially those seeking asylum in the UK, I cannot commend enough the EducateOUT Project of ReportOUT in educating the wider public about the everyday experiences of sexual and gender minorities in different nation states.
1
To the successful 24 people who were chosen out of the 106 applicants, to learn the art of campaigning for the rights of SOGIESC people at the OUTAcademy last year, go out and make the most out of the opportunity. The EducateOUT Project is an excellent initiative.
The need for global campaigning and the advancement of the human rights of SOGIESC people that have often been taken for granted, is now. ReportOUT, through its various research works as seen in Uganda, Zimbabwe, Belize, and other countries across the world, highlight the dangers that SOGIESC people face daily.
Suggestions for reforms from ReportOUT are welcome, and should be taken seriously.

CallOUT: Human Rights Research
ReportOUT research, monitor, and document the human rights abuses and development needs, of sexual and gender minorities in every nation state.
Our Human Rights Researchers are involved in a number of research projects exploring nation states or thematic issues. We do this in partnership with organisations who approach us, and we work together to deliver high quality research.
OUT in Mongolia
Our OUT in Mongolia research project is working in partnership with the Mongolian LGBT Centre, and their networks, to document the current situation in Mongolia for sexual and gender minorities. Through a survey approach, we will not only document the human rights abuses of Mongolians, but also their development needs, such as health, poverty, and other factors. This is the first research project of its kind, which will help to give our Mongolian partners the data they need to seek social change.
We hope to have this research project launched and completed later in 2022.

Countrywide research project completed. We completed our 'OUT in Zimbabwe' research examining the human rights abuses, and development needs, of sexual and gender minorities
OUT in Ethiopia
The OUT in Ethiopia research project is working with the House of Guramayle to document the human rights abuses of Ethiopians, and people who identify as Ethiopian who live elsewhere. Our partnership research project with the House of Guramayle is to design a survey to explore the human rights abuses, and development needs of Ethiopians.
We hope to have this research project launched and completed later in 2022.

OUT in Belize
Our OUT in Belize research project is working in partnership with Our Circle and four other partner organisations in Belize. In this research, we are documenting the human rights abuses and development needs, of sexual and gender minorities. We are at the stages of finalising our survey at the time of writing, to send to our partners to go via their networks.
We hope to have this research project launched and completed later in 2022.
OUT in Morocco
We are working in partnership with Alwan (a regional MENA based organisation), The Moroccan LGBT Community, and Nassawiyat (an organisation based in Morocco), to document the human rights abuses and development needs, of sexual and gender minorities.
We hope to have this research project launched and completed later in 2022.

Queer Guide to Human Rights
An ongoing project at ReportOUT has been to develop an A-Z of short country chapters, which we will use to pull together a book about the social, political, cultural, and other challenges faced by sexual and gender minorities, in every nation state.
So far, we have 78 chapters written, and we are making good progress! Expect to hear more about this book, and its launch, coming soon!
"HAVING BEEN PART OF REPORTOUT SINCE THE SUMMER OF 2019, I HAVE ENJOYED EVER SINGLE MOMENT OF MY EXPERIENCE SO FAR. WE ARE MUCH MORE THAN A TEAM, BUT A FAMILY OF PIONEERS DEDICATED TO BRINGING ABOUT CHANGE WHICH HAS POWERFUL IMPACT, IN A WORKING ENVIRONMENT WHICH IS INCREDIBLY SUPPORTIVE"

Did you see us at WorldPride? ReportOUT spoke at the Human Rights Forum about our OUT in Uganda research project - completed in 2020, this documented the lived experiences, human rights abuses, and development needs, of sexual and gender minorities in Uganda. We were joined by Sophie, a queer feminist, who discussed her own lived experiences of being a queer female leader in Uganda, alongside our own research findings.

Case Study: House of Guramayle
"House of Guramayle is a collaborative intersectional platform led by socially and politically marginalised activists based around the world to foster safe spaces, and inclusive cultures, for the LGBTQI+ Horn of Africans and other marginalised communities.
To implement our mission and vision, we must have the capacity and technology to conduct research so that our ask for the sanctity of Queer Ethiopian's lives get respected. At the moment we are in the middle of launching a survey to investigate the human rights abuses that are faced by sexual and gender minorities in and out of Ethiopia. House of Guramayle is very grateful for such a partnership that will give us critical data that we will use to hold the Ethiopian government accountable" (House of Guramayle. Faris - They/Them)

Case Study: LGBT Centre Mongolia
"On behalf of the LGBTQI+ community here in Mongolia, the LGBT Centre extends its deepest gratitude to ReportOUT and its valuable partnership to us developing this survey. We believe that this survey will further our mission to build the capacity of all relevant actors and institutions, both public and private, and to facilitate substantive enjoyment of human rights by all members of the LGBTQI+ community in Mongolia.
This research project will impact our work through sensitisation, information sharing, curriculum development, training provision, building networks and communities of practice, and through the promotion of corporate social responsibility to end discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and/or gender identity and expression, and sexual characteristics" (LGBT Centre Mongolia. Enkhmaa - She/They)

Case Study: Our Circle Belize
"Working with the ReportOUT team provides the Belizean community an opportunity to collectively amplify our testimonies about the turmoil we face daily, because of our sexual orientation and gender identities. The results of this collaboration promises to provide much needed evidence and data to be able to meaningfully engage stakeholders, government officials, and service providers, to truly make Belize the "Land of the Free" for all persons" (Our Circle. Derricia - She/Her)

CampaignOUT: Engagement with Agenda 2030
The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Officers are committed to helping raise the voices of sexual and gender minorities to ensure that ‘no one is left behind.' We are a new team at ReportOUT, who have just started to engage with both human rights and international development via the SDGs.
From 2021-2022, the SDG team begun to map everything that we do, both internally and externally at ReportOUT, onto the SDGs and Agenda 2030. We have supported our internal teams, such as the Human Rights Researchers, to ensure their projects are mapped not only the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, but to the SDGs.
In 2022, the team have started their campaign to help raise the voices of sexual and gender minorities in Uganda by sending a call for action to the Ugandan Embassy and the Ugandan SDG Secretariat on their commitment to Agenda 2030 and the SDGs. This campaign is based from the research and findings from ReportOUT's OUT in Uganda research.
We aim to make an impact on a global scale with nation states, by inputting our research into their own national reviews showing their commitment to the SDGs at the United Nations.
As a team we hope make an impact in terms of increasing the knowledge and levels of understanding of Agenda 2030, and the SDGs, to the wider public through collaboration with the Education Team to create upcoming training courses and events tailored to the SDGs.

Our Green in the Rainbow Project
In January we began a timely new research project exploring the effects of the climate emergency on sexual and gender minorities. The Green in the Rainbow project is a year-long research project which will run throughout 2022, and is focussed mainly on the LGBTQ community in the UK, though will draw on global research and case studies.
In recent years evidence has begun to emerge which demonstrates that, although a universal problem, the risks from climate change are multiplied for those who are already marginalised. This has been increasingly recognised in the context of developing nations, island states, and the economically disadvantaged, but other groups are often overlooked.
However, we know that LGBTQ people are some of the most marginalised in our society, so they are likely to be more vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Yet, this link has not been given sufficient research attention. This project seeks to plug this gap and further the conversation on the specific vulnerabilities and needs of the LGBTQ community in the context of a worsening climate.
Our initial research has analysed existing climate literature and highlighted some of the ways that LGBTQ people are likely to be more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. To deepen this research, we’ll engage in outreach with both global civil society to understand their perceptions of the existing and anticipated effects of the emergency on LGBTQ people, and UK civil society to ascertain organisational preparedness to deal with these impacts.
At the end of the project we will release a detailed report which we hope will contribute to the understanding of the climate crisis on this often overlooked group, and help to equip the community with knowledge that can guide their advocacy as the crisis takes hold in the UK.
We signed the pledge with Queers X Climate (QXC), who are an international organisation dedicated to unite, and support, climate and LGBTQ+ activism to develop and implement solutions for our common global climate crisis (https://www.queersxclimate.org/)

EducateOUT: Education and Training Project
Motivated by what we see across the globe, the mission of our EducateOUT Project is to educate the wider public about what is happening to sexual and gender minorities in different nation states. We also work directly with sexual and gender minorities.
From designing training courses for professionals to improve their practice, recording podcasts and YouTube videos for the public with activists across the globe, or developing educational workshops, our Education and Training Officers elevate the voices of those who we work with.
2021 saw our first ever training from our OUTAcademy start, which is the beginnings of a much bigger online academy with a focus on educating the wider global public about the lived experiences of sexual and gender minorities. Part of this was through a series of podcasts and our 'ReportingIN' project on YouTube, interviewing activists worldwide.
We also started our first ever annual 'Global Human Rights Campaigner Training' - offering a week-long intensive course for sexual and gender minorities, who are new and inexperienced campaigners. In this, we explored how to put together a campaign to create social change, examining campaign tactics, principles, and theories. With 24 people completing this course, they have created 24 individual and organisational acts of social change across the globe, with some of the case studies you can read in this review. From this, we have developed a ReportOUT Alumni, where we offer ongoing capacity training for these activists, to support these new campaigners, and their organisations.

Zimbabwe: OUTAcademy Campaigner
Campaign: HearThemToo Campaign
"The Hear Them Too campaign is focused on raising awareness about the existence, and healthcare needs of GBQ men in Zimbabwe. We reach out to the wider community, and healthcare providers to thrive for equality and bring equal access to health care services for GBQ men. The campaign has so far used social media to reach out, developed in-person focus group discussions for peer to peer health support, and also it will soon have theatre sets to aid our outreach. So far, we have completed our in-person focus group discussions, where we are inviting health care providers, and the friends and family of GBQ men, to build up to our vision of developing public acceptance for GBQ men, and to help them to get access to clinical services as stigma free spaces #HearThenToo #Thriving for equality" (Health Fonds Trust.

Campaign: #EndViolenceStigmaAndDiscriminationAgainstLBQWomen
"The ReportOUT 'Campaigner Training' was a life changing platform for me, as it has grown and shaped me to who I am today. I was privileged to learn, share knowledge, and skills with amazing upcoming HRDs from different parts of the world. Through the intense Campaigner Training, I have been able to stand boldly in spaces within and outside of the LGBTIQ+ community to advocate for equality and inclusion. I have built confidence in myself, and have managed to successfully run two social media campaigns, with the third one currently ongoing. This focuses on the alarming and very worrying safety and security threats targeting LBQ women, and the LGBTIQ community as a whole, during this election period in Kenya. The recent very painful loss of one of our own Sheila Lumumba has made us as an organisation amplify our voices further to advocate for an end to LGQ women. Thank you ReportOUT for making me believe in myself" #JusticeForSheila (Chadala. Grace: She/Her)

Campaign: Creating Sensitive Educational Spaces for Queer Folx
"I was fortunate to have received an opportunity to attend the Campaigners Training by ReportOUT. It was a great experience sharing and learning with fellow activists and friends from different countries. Their rich experience and involvement with communities at various intersections allowed me to understand the role of education even better, to begin to remove the disparities in India, especially with regards to gender.
As part of my project, I opted to work on creative, safe, and inclusive educational spaces for queer folx in India. To begin with, I am focusing on various colleges, and doing both offline and online sensitisation programs to help students recognise and understand the concept of sex, gender, and sexual orientation better. Through this exercise, we are also discussing do’s and don’t’s at educational institutes in order to foster diversity, equity and inclusion" (Keshav Suri Foundation. Akshay: He/Him)

Campaign: Aspiration Campaign - 'Becoming'
"The campaigner training course gave me a greater focus of me being of use as an individual and an asylum seeker. I learnt that I am not completely alienated, I've remained sensitive and able to feel that I am not losing my sense of dignity. Am not for sale and I still suffer over the suffering of others. I remain a person, and I am not feeling lonely, powerless, and isolated, in present day society.
I, as well others through my aspiration campaign project, can experience moments of joy and clarity that were absent in our lives. I am committed to supporting the lives of queer people seeking asylum and queer refugees, and this campaigner training has supported me to do this by setting up my own organisation" (Spectrum Rainbow Community. Jason: He/Him)

Our Flag in the Map Project
I n 2021 we partnered with the Gilbert Baker Foundation to create the 'Flag in the Map Project.' This project asked the global public to submit their photographs of the Pride flag.
Without doubt, the Pride flag and all of its evolving manifestations, is one of the most recognisable global symbols. It is a sign of love, equality, peace, solidarity, activism, and protest to many different people, and it is has become an important symbol of our the global LGBTQI+ human rights movement. The Pride flag belongs to no one person or nation to own it as theirs, it is for all of us, just like our own human rights.
At ReportOUT and at the Gilbert Baker Foundation, we see people flying the Pride flag in many different ways across many different parts of the globe. The Pride flag is flown at Pride marches, displayed on windows or balconies, or flown from a flagpole in an embassy or private business. However, some people find their nation states much more restrictive, so the Pride flag may be quickly revealed as a form of protest, or it is graffitied, painted or stickered on a wall or simply put up within a bedroom, or a private space. People find different and unique ways to share the Pride flag, and we wanted to celebrate this fact.

Photographs of Pride flags submitted to our Flag in the Map Project - and partnership with the Gilbert Baker Foundation
The aim of this project was educational, to bring together these photographs into a single book, and to launch this book at key events in 2022. We were overjoyed to receive over 100+ photographs from 28 different nation states, from Cuba to China.

Case Study: The Gilbert Baker Foundation
"In 2021, The Gilbert Baker Foundation and ReportOUT came together to explore a collaboration between organisations. Beginning with our Flag In The Map project, our organisations have developed a unique and productive combination of skills and resources that have allowed us to further our missions, reach more people and help communities in need.
Combining the symbolism and power of Gilbert Baker’s ubiquitous Rainbow Flag with the global network of ReportOUT, has given both of our groups power and reach that did not exist previously.
The creative team at the foundation, combined with the energy and organisation provided by the ReportOUT volunteers, has created a unique and productive force that both compliments and amplifies the best of both organisations" (Charley Beal: President of the Gilbert Baker Foundation - He/Him)

Our Events and Communications
O ver the last year, our Events and Communication team worked tirelessly to continue engaging with our global audience as well as expanding our reach to a more diverse range of demographics.
With over 5,400 followers across all of our social media platforms and over 1000+ people attending our virtual events, we are proud to have successfully improved the quality of our communications and the number of topics we cover. To expand the creative approach to our communications, we have created two professional videos with an external partner, Editors for Impact, to promote ReportOUT’s mission as well as the Flag In The Map project. We have also grown more comfortable using video and animation while creating communications content ourselves, including interactive social media animations, reels, stories, and infographics.
This helps us display information in a more accessible way and we are looking forward to continue improving in our approach. We have also continued utilising our blog and newsletters to write about important issues relating to the community, and to share these with our subscriber network. This resulted in our general website traffic doubling and our email marketing bringing 761% more traffic to our website than the previous year. Finally, in our virtual events we covered seven important topics relating to human rights of sexual and gender minorities and the progress needed, including conversion therapy, the men with a pink triangle, the history of the rainbow flag, and more. With the social climate slowly opening up in the U.K., we are looking to expand into in-person events in 2022/23.
"WHEN IT COMES TO ROLES, RESPONSIBILITIES AND EXPECTATIONS AS A VOLUNTEER, THERE ARE REALLY STRONG LEVELS OF COMMUNICATION, AND WHILST EACH TEAM MAY HAVE ITS OWN TASKS, WHETHER IT BE MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION, THE EDUCATION TEAM, OUR DEDICATED HUMAN RIGHTS RESEARCHERS, AND OUR SDG TEAM, WE ARE ALL WORKING TOWARDS THE SAME UNITED VISION."

ReportOUT Rapid Response Team (RORR)
During 2022, we shifted our media and campaign focus to become more responsive to global events. In doing so, we set up our first ReportOUT Rapid Response (RORR) Team.
Key world events saw ReportOUT respond to the effects of the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and what these meant for sexual and gender minorities. We also responded, and campaigned, against the U.K. government's partialban on conversion practices, which has excluded people who are transgender and non-binary. As a result, we were one of the first organisations to withdraw from from the U.K. government's 'Safe To Be Me Conference' in protest at this decision.

Our Partnerships
Partnerships are key to our ongoing life as an organisation, and at ReportOUT, we have a philosophy of partnership building. With this in mind, we entered into and developed, a number of partnerships with organisations across the globe. We all work better, when we work together.
From working with the Gilbert Baker Foundation on our Flag in the Map Project, to working with over 20+ activists in different nation states to increase their campaigning skills and knowledge, we ensure that everything we do has a strong Theory of Change behind it to increase our impact as an organisation.

Structure, Governance and Management
Governing documents
Charitable Incorporated Organisation - Foundation Model - whereby the only voting members are the charity Trustees. We have adopted the Charity Commissions Model Constitution to ensure we comply with the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and the General Regulations. This helps us to ensure we:
-
Reflect recommended best practice; and
-
Are legally compliant
Appointment of Trustees
Trustees are appointed through advertising externally via our website, newsletter, social media and through relevant centres (such as Volunteer Centres). After a successful interview and induction process, they are approved by the rest of the Trustees at the following Trustee meeting.
Organisation
The Trustees meet each quarter and deal with the administration of the charity encompassing the strategic vision, financial accountability and risk management. Some trustees are also operational in their engagement and so may meet more regularly to discuss operational issues.
Risk management
The Trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and systems have been established to mitigate those risks including the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and for ensuring the consistent quality of the delivery of all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.
ReportOut have a Risk Management Policy and Risk Management Form which is updated by the Trustees regularly throughout the year, then re-appraised annually.
Statement on Public Benefit
The charity carries out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The Trustees consider that these activities, summarised above, provide benefit both to those who directly receive services, and the wider community in the United Kingdom. The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

Statement of Trustee Responsibilities
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The charity trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of incoming resources and application of resources. In preparing financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards 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. 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.

REPORTOUT CIO
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
For the year ended 31 March 2022
I report on the financial statements of Reportout Cio for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 37 to 45.
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.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, 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.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts
-
set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a "true and fair" view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
However, not all future events or conditions can be predicted. The COVID-19 viral pandemic is one of the most significant economic events for the UK with unprecedented levels of uncertainty of outcomes. It is therefore difficult to evaluate all of the potential implications on the charitable company’s trade, customers, suppliers and wider economy. The trustees’ view on the impact of COVID-19 is disclosed in the accounting policies note.
I 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 31 March 2022
1 Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
2 Basis of accounting
2.1 Basis of preparation
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The accounts 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 2019) – Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Reportout Cio meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
2.2 Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The charity reported total unrestricted funds at the year end of £6,232.
The trustees are of the view that the immediate future of the charity is secure and that on this basis the charity is a going concern.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees have reviewed and considered relevant information, including the annual budget and future cash flows in making their assessment. In particular, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trustees have revised their forecasts to take into account the impact on the business of possible scenarios brought on by the impact of COVID-19, alongside the measures that they can take to mitigate the impact. Based on these assessments, given the measures that could be undertaken to mitigate the current adverse conditions, and the current resources available, the Trustees have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has put many strains on all businesses. It should be noted that the charity is still able to meet its obligations to fulfilling its contracts with funders, who have been flexible about the timescale for delivery.
3 Income
3.1 Recognition of income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the resources, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is more likely than not that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
3.2 Offsetting
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by FRS102 SORP or FRS102.
3.3 Grants and donations
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 the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria of income recognition are met.

REPORTOUT CIO
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31 March 2022
3.4 Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the 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.
4 Expenditure and liabilities
4.1 Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised when it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
4.2 Charitable activities
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of represent disabled people in the North East of England and works to bring about significant and lasting social change and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
4.3 Governance and support costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance cost and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
4.4 Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
4.5 Creditors
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.
4.6 Provision for liabilities
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
