Street Rights Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Review For year ended 31[st] March 2023
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 2022/23**
Street Rights’ aim is to promote street-connected children’s rights worldwide. This year, we focused on building the foundations of the organisation both programmatically and from a fundraising perspective.
We have ensured our programmatic model is robust and developed it in consultation with practitioner and researcher peers in the sector. Our key priority remained fundraising and building the information and materials we need to sustainably fundraise for the organisation. This focus has been successful as we received confirmation of our first funding in April 2023 to start our programme in South Africa next year.
We have also increased the expertise on our Advisory Council with the addition of Professor Lorraine van Blerk onto our Advisory Council. Professor van Blerk brings a wealth of expertise on street-connected children. She has conducted research about and with street-connected children, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, for over 20 years and has significant expertise in ensuring their participation in the research process.
We continued to participate in sector events of relevance to promoting street-connected children’s rights worldwide, through the Consortium for Street Children and others.
## **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.

|Income|17|
|Expenditure|312|

|Total Funds|755|
Street Rights has no loans, no debts and no funds held by a custodian Trustee.
*Note, Street Rights’ income is set to increase in the next year financial year as our focus on programme development and fundraising has been successful with funding committed in April 2023 to begin programming in South Africa in 2024.
## 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 2023 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.
