Achievements and performance (continued)

c. 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.

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. Reserves have reduced from £59,881 to £48,498 during the financial year. This saw the reserves go below the 3-6months fixed-staffing-cost goal outlined in the reserves policy. The organisation responded by prioritising building up reserves in the subsequent budget, controlling expenditure, and with the treasurer reporting back monthly to the board from the finance committee.

At the year end, £39,388 (2024 - £59,881) of unrestricted free reserves were held and £9,110 (2024 - £Nil) of restricted reserves were held for Movember, leaving a total reserve of £48,498.

c. Finance review

During the period, the charity received total income of 941,132 (2024 - £980,401) of which £106,618 (2024 - £136,132) related to Movember as restricted funds, and £26,811 (2024 - Nil) of other restricted funds.

Total expenditure in the year was £952,515 (2024 - £1,059,332) of which £137,430 (2024 - £191,563) was against restricted funds and £815,085 (2023 - £867,769) unrestricted, resulting in an overall deficit of £11,383 (2024 - £78,931).

The charity has funds brought forward of £59,881, leaving a carried forward fund balance of £48,498 after this years deficit.

New trustees are elected by a majority of existing trustees, and in accordance with the constitution statements on trustees. Trustees have a fixed term of 3 years, with extensions negotiable.

Trustee selection begins after a skills, experience and lived experience review of the existing board, to identify areas where additional skills or qualifications are needed, and to ensure that the board is representative of the beneficiaries of our workshops and campaigns, and also has suitable knowledge of the sectors that we work within.

Trustee selection includes an outreach process, application process with professional and values questions, interviews with key staff and trustees, diversity review and formal recommendations to the existing trustees.

c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies

The charity is governed by the board of trustees, who meet quarterly and receive operational reports and risk reports from the staff.

The organisation works within the wider MenEngage network, and is a member of the European branch and global body. This is a network for organisations and individuals who do inclusive and feminist informed work with men and boys. The organisation works within several networks of UK organisation’s, including End Violence Against Women coalition, Coalition for Caring Masculinities, and Sex Education Forum.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

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 year ended 31 August 2025.

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 Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your 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 ICAEW, 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:

  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.

Page 10

BEYOND EQUALITY CIO

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

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 YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

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 Going concern

The Trustees have considered the financial position of the Charity for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the accounts, including factoring the year end reserves position and post year end income and expenditure, and expect the Charity to continue as a going concern and have prepared the accounts on this basis.

2.3 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.

BEYOND EQUALITY CIO

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 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.

2.5 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.

2.6 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.

2.7 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.

2.8 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.

2.9 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 year.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.10 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.

The specific purposes for which the funds are to be applied as follows:

Movember:

The Movember income is used to pay for our Collective Resilience programme, providing a series of workshops to groups of adult men, allowing them to connect in new ways to support each others mental well being. It also supports the establishment of local facilitator teams in 6 hubs across the UK, and the training of community leaders to reinforce the progress made by the workshop series.

Network for Social Change:

The grant from Network for Social Change is used to support the project "Rethinking Youth Masculinities: Learning Exchanges, Professional Development and New Recruitment Pathways with Youth Workers".

Equimundo:

The restricted funds received from Equimundo were to support the co-development of a report called "State of UK Men", which is a research-led publication examining the social, economic, and health experiences of men in the UK.
