This review also assists the Trustees in ensuring that the Charity’s aims, objectives and activities remain focused on its stated purposes.

Throughout the year, many people have contributed time, services, advice and money towards our work. We are very grateful to all of them.

Make Space for Girls

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023

The purposes of the Charity as set out in its governing document

The objects of the CIO are the promotion of equality and diversity in all and any of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland for the public benefit in particular for the benefit of girls and young women in the reduction and elimination of discrimination on grounds of gender in the provisions of play, leisure and recreational facilities including by:

(A) the advancement of education and raising awareness;

(B) the conducting or commissioning of research and publishing the results to interested parties and the public;

(C) influencing public authorities, businesses, charities, trusts and other organisations involved in the provision of play, leisure and recreational facilities on how they can promote the inclusion of girls and young women;

(D) providing a platform to ensure that the voices of girls and young women are heard in decision making that will affect the provisions of play, leisure and recreational facilities; and

(E) promoting attitudes, customs and practices in favour of equality and the inclusion of the needs of girls and young women in the planning, development, use and maintenance of play, leisure and recreational facilities.

The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes and to further the Charity's purpose for the public benefit the year

“ I think everything’s really tailored for boys and that you need things really for girls .”

As this teenage girl expresses very clearly, teenage facilities in parks and other public spaces don’t work for girls. The vast majority of what is provided – skate parks, bike tracks, basketball courts and fenced pitches (also known as multi-use games areas or MUGAs) – are dominated by boys, and so girls are left with nowhere to go and nothing to do. And their voices are rarely heard.

This is the situation that Make Space for Girls exists to change. We want to make parks and other public spaces safer, more attractive and more welcoming to teenage girls. We work to raise awareness of the current inequality and to pilot meaningful engagement, better design and interventions which will give teenage girls the outdoor spaces they need and want.

Our Vision, Mission and Values

The Trustees adopted the following as the Charity’s vision, mission and values:

Our Vision : We want parks and similar public spaces to be as welcoming to girls and young women as they are to boys and young men.

Our Mission : We will use research, engagement and education to campaign and drive an approach to the planning, commissioning and development of parks and similar public spaces that recognises the different needs of girls and young women and find ways to meet those needs. Our Values : our work is driven by the following values:

Our strategy

During 2023, the Charity’s strategy was to prioritise the following areas of action.

Raising Awareness

For change to happen, people need to know about the issue. Currently, the disadvantages that girls and young women face in public space are not often seen. Raising awareness is core to our campaign.

Engagement

It’s essential that we talk to teenage girls. As our key beneficiaries, we need to know what they want and think. At the same time, we are also developing the best practice for doing this, to ensure that engaging with girls and young women becomes the norm.

Make Space for Girls

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023

Research

Our approach is evidence-based but there is currently a big data gap around teenage girls in parks and public spaces, so we both engage in research ourselves and collaborate with others on relevant work.

Policy Change

Influencing the policy and guidance which affects how spaces are designed and built has the potential to create change nationwide.

Creating Better Spaces

The end goal of our campaign is for there to be spaces designed by and for teenage girls across the country.

Public Benefit

The Objectives, Activities and Achievement and Performance sections of this Report set out the activities that the Charity undertakes for the public benefit. The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 15(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the Charity.

The contribution of volunteers during the year

The principal volunteer during the period ending 31 December 2023 was Imogen Clark who, as a Trustee, undertook core project and administrative work for the Charity on a voluntary basis. Susannah Walker, also as a Trustee, was paid during this period for communications, fundraising and research services, with agreement from the Charity Commission, but also undertook administrative and project work on a voluntary basis.

The main achievements and performance of the Charity during the year and the difference the Charity's performance has made to the beneficiaries of the Charity and wider society

Achievements and Performance

All our activities are focused on campaigning to make parks and similar public spaces more welcoming to teenage girls and are undertaken to further the Charity’s charitable purposes for the public benefit. Our main activities in 2023 are described below.

Raising Awareness

At the start of 2023 we launched our redesigned website. This was specifically designed to enable both stakeholders and members of the public to find the information they need, whether that’s a basic introduction, a detailed report, engagement resources or examples of case studies. Our web traffic has increased significantly as a result, but more importantly people report that they are able to use our recommendations and resources without ever contacting us directly, enabling us to make the most of staff time.

It’s particularly important for us to reach developers, architects, designers and councils, ensuring that the needs of teenage girls are considered from project inception to final design. In the last year we have given presentations to over 50 organisations, reaching more than two thousand decision makers. A high-profile example was the presentation that we gave for Homes England in January, which reached over 450 stakeholders from councils and social housing bodies. Our campaign has also been featured in specialist publications such as RIBA Journal , Pro Landscaper , and Design Week .

The impact of this is wide-ranging. At least sixteen councils across the UK have written our work into policies, designs, tenders and council motions this year. In addition, more than one in ten of the submissions for the Parliamentary Inquiry into Children, Young People and the Built Environment referenced either our work or projects we had been involved in.

3

Make Space for Girls

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023

We are also bringing the campaign to a wider audience. In 2023 we’ve appeared on the Today Programme and Jeremy Vine on BBC Radio, television news in Manchester and the South West, as well as many local radio stations. We have over 25,000 followers across social media and some of our posts attract hundreds of thousands of views.

Engagement

In 2023 we spoke to over 180 teenage girls in eleven different places across the country, working with councils, universities and developers. These girls and young women are having their voices heard, often for the first time, and discovering they can have an influence on the places they live in. This empowers them and gives them a real stake in their home area. But they are not the only beneficiaries. Girls across the UK will benefit as other engagement work builds on the good practice that we have established.

Our major projects included Researchers-in-Residence, run jointly with the LSE and Countryside, which empowered participants to be peer researchers into their local public spaces, and created a template for a curriculum which can be used elsewhere. Greenspace and Us 2, commissioned by Natural England, worked with a diverse group of girls to find out more about how they wanted to access nature and to co-design a space in their local park.

Research

Research is a key part of our impact. Statistics make the scale of the problem clear – and more difficult to ignore. The data being produced by us and others is a really important tool for persuading councils, developers and sporting bodies to make the changes we are asking for.

This year we created our own research with Parkwatch, a citizen project. We asked our supporters to count who was using the teenage facilities in their local park over a weekend in May. This produced the first ever data on how teenagers use parks. And the results were shocking – 90% of the facilities are 90% used by boys and young men. These results got significant traction on social media as well as coverage on TV and radio.

In addition, we have completely rewritten and updated our Research Report and worked with a number of universities and research projects across the country.

Policy Change

An emerging challenge this year has been understanding and influencing the many pieces of policy and guidance which can affect how public spaces are commissioned, designed and built.

The biggest project this year was being one of the partners (along with Leeds University, West Yorkshire Combined Authority and the Green Flag Awards) who helped create the Safer Parks Guidance on how to improve the safety of women and girls in these spaces, work which is being widely distributed and adopted.

Our work in this area is diverse and evolving but this year has also included:

Although policy work can be diffuse and long term, it also offers the potential for the greatest possible impact.

Creating Better Spaces

A core goal for the Charity is that better spaces are built for teenage girls across the country, and we are working on a number of projects to further this, but these are often long-term.

This is why we were particularly pleased to see two play areas co-designed with teenage girls installed in Bradford during 2023, as a result of a project with Join Us: Move Play and Bradford Council, primarily funded by Sport England. The results are spaces where girls don’t just have the facilities which they designed and want to use, but where they also feel a sense of ownership and empowerment.

Fundraising activities during the year

The Charity actively solicits donations from individuals using the “Givey” platform. We are also very grateful to individuals who have undertaken fundraising activities for us. All donations are very gratefully received. We do not sub-contract any fundraising activities to a third party and whilst we are not registered with the Fundraising Regulator, we will be guided by the Code of Fundraising Practice in any fundraising activity. We received no complaints about our fundraising activity.

Structure, governance and management of the Charity

The methods used to recruit and appoint new Charity Trustees

Apart from the first Charity Trustees, Susannah Walker and Imogen Clark, every Trustee must be appointed for a term of 3 years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting. In selecting individuals for appointment as Charity Trustees, the Trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of a CIO.

The Trustees will make available to each new Charity Trustee on or before their appointment a copy of the current version of the constitution and a copy of the Charity’s latest Trustee Annual Report and Financial Statements.

Make Space for Girls

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023

Financial review of the position at the reporting date, 31 December 2023

The Trustees consider the financial performance by the Charity during the year to have been satisfactory, generating net income of £17,461 in the year resulting in unrestricted funds of £28,018 to carry forward. This amount is greater than our stated reserves policy below whereby the Trustees aim to carry three months of operating costs in reserve.

The Charity received one restricted grant during the year to 31 December 2023 from the Sweaty Betty Foundation in order to publish the Parkwatch Report.

All money from this funding was spent during the financial year.

The Trustees consider it appropriate to expense all costs relating to the development of the website, reflecting its purpose to act as a resource for enabling our charitable objectives.

Policies on reserves

The Trustees aim to keep reserves equal to at least three months of the running costs of the Charity.

Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds

The Board of Trustees is satisfied that the Charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and to prepare the financial statements according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019 (the SORP).

In particular, charity law requires the Trustees, if they prepare accounts on an accruals basis, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the Charity. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to:

The law requires that the Trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the surplus or deficit of the Charity for the year.

The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities Act 2011. 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.

The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

This Report was approved by the Board of Trustees on 20 September 2024.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charity on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity on pages 10 to 20 for the year ended 31 December 2023 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102 (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019 (the SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW), and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 13.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report

As described on page 7, you, the charity's Trustees, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Act and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view.

The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Act does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the Governing Document for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

a) examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act; and

b) follow the applicable procedures in the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under s145 of the Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and of the accounting systems employed by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide.

Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements and, in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.

I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.

Make Space for Girls

Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion

Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination and can confirm that:

This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act and in accordance with Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable; and that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

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 financial statements to be reached.

Risks and future assumptions

The charity is a public benefit entity.

Recognition of liabilities and expenditure

A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated.

Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters

Debtors

Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

Cash and bank balances

Cash held by the Charity is included at the amount actually held and counted at the year end. Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn, are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity.

There are no designated funds.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor. There are no endowment funds.
