To engage in political activity provided that the trustees are satisfied that the proposed activities will further the purposes of the charity to an extent justified by the resources committed and the activity is not the dominant means by which the charity carries out its objects.

2. Public Benefit

The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit to review the charity’s aims and objectives and ensure its activities and future-planning are focused on achieving the charity’s aims and objectives.

3. Activities, achievements and performance in 2021/22

Please note that Street Rights’ sole volunteer took time off for maternity this reporting year and the activities of the charity date from October 2021 to March 2022.

Street Rights’ aim is to promote street-connected children’s rights. The Coronavirus pandemic has severely impacted street-connected children around the world, increasing the discrimination they face and leading to greater numbers of children connecting to the streets as families fall further into poverty. This is happening around the world with non-governmental organisations re-shifting or enhancing their work to respond and deliver immediate relief to street-connected children and their families, such as food distribution. Given this shift in the sector, Street Rights focused its strategy on determining where we could be most impactful in the future and building relationships with key stakeholders to do this, acknowledging that partnerships will take longer to develop as organisations’ focus remains on increasing direct support to street-connected children.

This year, we focused on building the foundations of the organisation both programmatically and from a governance perspective. We increased our internal expertise by putting together an Advisory Council, bringing together some of the world’s leading experts on street-connected children to enhance our knowledge and inform our direction. Dr Sarah Thomas de Benitez joined in February and brings a wealth of expertise across practice, research and policy for street-connected children at national and international levels. Street Rights also joined the Consortium for Street Children’s (CSC) network, a body of 130 organisations working together to promote street-connected children’s rights. As a network member Street Rights participated in CSC’s events to increase our learning and knowledge of the sector.

The key priority for Street Rights remains fundraising and building the information and materials we need to be able to effectively and sustainably fundraise for the organisation.

4. Structure, Governance and Management

The Trustees are responsible for the administration of the charity. The Trustees meet quarterly (four times a year) to agree and set the charity’s strategic direction, discuss policy matters and review the operational performance of the charity. This includes through reviewing and updating the charity’s risk register and putting policies and procedures in place to mitigate those risks.

Street Rights’ Constitution sets out how new Trustees are appointed – existing Trustees can appoint new Trustees at any time. When selecting new Trustees, regard is had to the skills, knowledge and experience

needed for effective administration of Street Rights. Trustees serve for a period of three years and can be reappointed up to three times.

Street Rights currently has one volunteer, part-time. During 2021/22, the volunteer took time off for maternity from March 2021 to October 2021.

5. Financial review 2021/22

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the annual report and financial review of Street Rights.

Income and expenditure:

Street Rights’ income was £0 and expenditure £156 for the period 2021/22. A total of £1,050 was carried forward.

2020/21	£
Income	0
Expenditure	156

Total Funds	1,050

Street Rights has no loans, no debts and no funds held by a custodian Trustee.

Reserves:

The Trustees have considered the risk environment and operating costs of the organisation and have determined a desired range of reserves to be within three to six months’ operating costs plus any legal or redundancy costs associated with winding-up the organisation. At present there are no committed ongoing costs and any wind-up costs would be very limited. The reserves as of 31[st] March 2022 are therefore within the required range.

As the organisation increases its income and begins to incur ongoing operating costs, the unrestricted reserves will be reviewed against the reserves policy as part of the management accounts and going-concern assessment by the Board of Trustees.

6. Trustee Declaration

The Trustees declare that they approve the Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Review above.
