During the period of reporting, 37 volunteers attended the Exploring Masculinities training, and 14 attended the Facilitation training. On top of this, 75 volunteer observation hours were completed.

Achievements and performance

a. Main achievements of the Charity

The organisation published a 2022-2023 impact report, highlighting the successes of the period, which can be found here.

In the context of emerging polarisation among boys, Beyond Equality's mission to disrupt harmful behaviours and attitudes of men has never been more important. In 2022-23, we supported more boys and men to rethink masculinities and worked with more organisations than ever before.

This year, giving young men space to talk about healthy relationships, consent and gender equity was vitally important. The year started with many teachers and school staff deeply concerned about the influence of misogynistic influencers such as Andrew Tate on the attitudes of boys. Indeed our facilitators had noticed a steady rise in overt sexism and misogyny the year prior, and we worked hard to develop different strategies for handling the various, new and complex classroom dynamics that came up while challenging these ideas during discussions about healthy relationships and masculinities.

Our direct training and mentoring was predominantly carried out in three sectors: schools, universities and workplaces, with Sports project added as new areas of work. Overall we reached over 26,500 with more than 1200 workshops or seminars. All activities are reported on further below. At the end of this period we launched a new project, Collective Resilience, aimed at reaching groups of adult men and running workshops to help improve their collective support and individual mental wellbeing, and tackle stigmas for men seeking help and support.

Achievements and performance (continued)

The feedback

• Team Talk - 87% (952 responders)

• Follow up - 85% (20 responders)

Workplaces

In the 18-month period between May 2022 and August 2023, the Workplaces project delivered:

• 81 workshops

• 17 seminars

• 3 longer programmes, reaching a total of 23 organisations across sectors.

c. Factors relevant to achieve objectives

The three main departments performed roughly in line with objectives set. The schools department met all student related goals, but fell short of goals for the number of teacher training delivered. Universities met their student group goals, but fell short of the leadership training.

Workplaces exceeded all goals set.

d. Fundraising activities and income generation

The organisation had a total income of £1,078,108 for this period, which was a substantial increase on the previous period’s £413,183. Even withstanding the different reporting lengths (18 months vs 12 months) this was a significant achievement.

e. Investment policy and performance

The charity does not make investments.

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operating for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

BEYOND EQUALITY CIO

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 AUGUST 2023

b. Reserves policy

Beyond Equality holds reserves to ensure that we can pay our staff if we need to cease to continue to operate, and to enable us to strategically invest in future opportunities.

The policy sets the reserves goal as 3-6 months of monthly fixed expenditure. While the reserves remain in within this goal, there is a monthly report by the organisation’s accountant on financial performance to the Treasurer, Managing Director and Project Manager, and a quarterly report to the board. When the reserves are below 3 months, the trustees require monthly reports on short term fundraising (including all income generating activities) and expenditures, and restrict any investments in non-essential, non-revenue generating activities.

During the reporting period the organisation has increased its reserves in line with a growing staff size.

At the year end, £112,080 of unrestricted free reserves were held and £26,732 of restricted reserves were held for Movember, leaving a total reserve of £138,812.

c. Finance review

During the period, the charity received total income of £1,078,108 of which £91,134 related to Movember as restricted funds.

Total expenditure in the year was £987,079 of which £64,402 was against restricted funds and £922,677 unrestricted, resulting in an overall surplus of £91,029.

The charity has funds brought forward of £47,783, leaving a carried forward fund balance of £138,812 after this years surplus.

• Loss of key clients or underperforming of sales

• Dependency on schools income and workplaces income

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);

• make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) 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 business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust deed. 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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 AUGUST 2023

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Beyond Equality CIO ('the Charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the period ended 30 August 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000, the examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, of which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3. the accounts do 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.

I have no concerns and 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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 AUGUST 2023

Disclosure section

An audit dispensation was granted for the period ended 30 August 2023 by the Charity Commission on 1st May 2024 under regulation 34(3)(b) of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. This dispensation was requested based upon the fact that the Charity has extended their year end to 30 August, therefore having to prepare accounts for a 16 month period which has resulted in them exceeding the audit threshold. The Charity Commission granted this dispensation on the basis that:

• the exceptional circumstances outlined mean that an audit would be disproportionate;

• there are no constitutional or other requirements on the charity which require an audit; and

• the charity is not incorporated under company law.

As a result, an independent examination has taken place instead of an audit under (Regulation 31(f).

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 AUGUST 2023

1. General information

Beyond Equality CIO is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered in England and Wales. Its registered office address is PO Box 67, Seaton, EX12 9BA.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Beyond Equality CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

2.2 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

2.3 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 AUGUST 2023

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.5 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and 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.

2.6 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

2.7 Financial instruments

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.

2.8 Pensions

The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the period.

2.9 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
