## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 November 2023** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 November 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The charity's objectives are to provide grants, donations and support for textile and garment workers located in and around Leicester. 

## **Significant activities** 

During the first year of its operation the the Trust commissioned the Nottingham University Rights Lab and De Montfort University to undertake a review of the factors underpinning labour exploitation in Leicester's garment and textile industry. Its report 'Fashioning a Beautiful Future' was published in June 2022 and its findings and recommendations have formed the basis for the activities that was undertaken during the period under review as well as any future activities. 

## **Public benefit** 

Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and have taken it into account when considering any decisions that they make on behalf of the charity, not least funding decisions. 

## **Grantmaking** 

The Trust have been working to develop a policy on grant making but as a result of the Rights Lab report identified its initial funding priorities including English language and IT skills training, advocacy support and support to food banks. Trustees has agreed that, in the short term the Trust will work with established local grassroots organisations with a positive track record of delivery and engagement in the communities where many garment workers are drawn from. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

This report covers the period 1 December 2022 to 30 November 2023 of the Trust's operation. During this time the Trust appointed a new paid role, with the initial purpose of working with Grantees to ensure that money granted was accurately used, delivered against the Trusts' objectives and all activity was captured and measured. Additionally, this role included an ambassadorial element, in that the holder was tasked with promoting the purpose and activity of the Trust and representing the Trust on the ground. 

Submissions for a second tranche of grant giving were invited and applications were received in Q4 2023. 

Each application will be judged on its merit. Individual Trustees have been assigned as point of contact for grantees. Additionally we are now tracking data on progress towards targets through ongoing work on the ground which is reviewed at each meeting.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 November 2023** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Fundraising activities** 

Whilst endowed initially by a significant one-off grant from boohoo Group plc trustees are mindful of the need to secure further funding. Discussions about both organisational support and fundraising would lead later to the engagement of an Engagement Manager whose role would include fundraising. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position** 

During the period ended 30 November 2022, boohoo Group plc made an initial grant of £1 million to fund the work of the trust and a further contribution of £100,000 to meet 'set up' costs. Bank interest of £7,688 was received in the current financial year. 

The Trust ends its 2nd year of operation with reserves amounting to £719,353 after making grants to local community organisations: Shama Women's, Wesley Hall, Highfields and Reaching People, local community organisations in line with trustees' initial priorities and objectives. The balance of the start-up funding received from boohoo Group plc will be held to fund ongoing organisational costs. 

The total fund carried forward amounts to £719,353 of which £39,944 is the balance of the startup funding. 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

The trustees are mindful of the impact of inflation on the Trust's capital reserves and are exploring options for ensuring the best return on remaining capital. 

Looking forward the trustees' aim is to hold sufficient reserves in easy access building society accounts to fund the balance of the grants made in the first tranche of donations. The remaining reserves will be held in a number of longer notice interest earning accounts. 

## **Going concern** 

At this time the Trust is in a healthy financial position. Trustees have adopted a measured approach to future grant making having identified three clear initial priorities and with the realisation that to achieve the objectives and outcomes trustees desire a programme of targeted donations will likely be required over a number of years. This in turn will mean that the Trust will have to secure ongoing funding from external funders. 

In its first year the trustees identified a number of risks to its successful operation and the Trust's ability to deliver public benefit. In the year under consideration the Trustees have worked to develop an understanding of risks, as well as undertaken tasks to strengthen the governance and management including a formal Risk Management policy. 

Early discussions by trustees identified a number of risks to its successful operation and the Trust's ability to deliver public benefit. The risks identified fall under four main headings: External, Financial, Operations and Partnerships. It is the intention of the trustees to develop an understanding of risks, not least by effective governance and management including a formal Risk Management policy.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 November 2023** 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The trustees aim to develop their own governance arrangements to reflect 'best practice' and to strengthen and broaden the composition of the board. They recognise the importance of ensuring that the Trust's initial tranche of grant funding achieves the objectives that will be agreed with grantees. To this end trustees aim to recruit a person to develop links with grantees and work with them to achieve the outcomes best described in the Right Labs report 'Fashioning a Beautiful Future'. Securing further funding will be essential to achieving the Trust's overall objectives and these outcomes. Trustees recognise that it will be a priority to develop a suite of employment-related policies to support them in their role as employer. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document formally adopted on 23 March 2022 and constitutes a Charitable Incorporated Organisation as registered with the Charity Commission on 28 July 2021. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

Trustees are mindful that the Trusts governing document allows for there to be up to twelve trustees. With the current trustees appointed on the same date the existing trustees are keen to minimise the risk of all being obliged by the Trust governing document to step down at the same time whilst also widening the personal, skills and experience profile of trustees. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The Trust has enjoyed the benefit of pro bono secretariat and administrative support from Lowick, but trustees recognised that going forward such services will need to be put on a clearer i.e., fee-based service to cover the Trust's core functions. During this time accounting services have been provided to the Trust by Thornby Associates and it is anticipated that this will continue going forward. Trustees are of the view that these arrangements represent value for money and are appropriate for a Trust of this size. Trustees gratefully acknowledge the support from these organisations and for their help and guidance during this the Trust's first period. Trustees want also to acknowledge the pro bono legal advice and assistance they have received form Jade Saunders. 

Trustees each have a network of contacts and knowledge of local organisations operating in the area. It will be their intention to seek to employ a suitably experienced person to engage with grantees and other organisations. 

## **Related parties** 

Trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Details of trustee expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note 12 to the accounts. 

Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and if necessary to withdraw from discussions and decisions where a conflict of interest might arise. Declaration of Interest is a standing item on the agenda for Trust meetings. 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued** 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- 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 proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to 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.

**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Garment and Textile Workers Trust** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Garment and Textile Workers Trust (the 'charity') for the year ended 30 November 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 30 November 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.  We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard.

**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Garment and Textile Workers Trust** 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Garment and Textile Workers Trust** 

## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion.  Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the 

- charity and determined that the most significant which are directly relevant to specific assertions in the financial statements are those related to the financial reporting frameworks (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, Charities Act) and the relevant tax compliance regulations in the jurisdiction in which the charity operates; 

- We enquired of management whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or whether they had any knowledge of actual, suspected or alleged fraud; 

- Our testing considered unusual or unexpected journal entries on a sample basis; 

- We evaluated the assumptions and judgements used by management within significant accounting estimates and assessing if these indicate evidence of management bias; 

- We tested significant transactions, in particular the evaluation of the business rationale for any which appear unusual or outside the charity's normal course of business; 

- We assessed the appropriateness of the collective competence and capabilities of the engagement team by understanding the practical experience with audit engagements of a similar nature and complexity, plus ensuring the team had appropriate and relevant training of the financial reporting framework and the relevant tax compliance regulations specific to the entity. 

- We reviewed the financial statements and tested the disclosures against supporting documentation; 

- We communicated relevant matters to all members of the audit team to ensure they understood the risks specific to the entity and the audit procedures planned to mitigate these. 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. 

## **Use of our report** 

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. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
