TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)".
Background
Soma Sara’s experience of rape culture began in her early teenage years. Conversations with friends throughout her time at school and university began to reveal just how widespread the issue is. While finishing her degree, Soma began sharing her experiences of rape culture on Instagram. In light of the overwhelming response from those that resonated with her story Soma founded Everyone’s Invited in June 2020.
Everyone’s Invited approach is survivor centred. The nature of its creation means that we are also a survivor-led organisation. The charity has been formed around the need of survivors, keeping their voices at the heart of our mission; Everyone’s Invited provides a much needed platform ensuring that the voices and experiences of survivors are amplified and heard in their own words. Everyone’s Invited’s aim is to engage the public in meaningful conversations regarding rape culture and enact change. The approach focuses on delivering training to children and young people in educational institutions so that everyone can play an active role in tackling the causes and consequences of rape culture.
The problem that Everyone’s Invited seeks to address is rape culture. Rape culture includes misogyny, rape jokes, sexual harassment (groping, non-consensual touching), image based abuse (upskirting, non-consensual sharing of intimate photos, cyber flashing), and sexual coercion. When behaviours such as these are normalised they can act as a gateway to more extreme acts such as sexual assault and rape. Learn more about rape culture via rape crisis.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
Objectives and activities
The charity's objects are :
a) To maintain and continue the EI digital anonymous safe space for survivor testimonies
By maintaining the website we will ensure that survivors are able to continue sharing their experiences of rape culture anonymously. The act of sharing their stories on the website allows many survivors a sense of relief, catharsis, empowerment, and gives them a feeling of community and hope.
All testimonials submitted to the website are completely anonymous. Anonymity is crucial in allowing survivors to share their stories freely as experiences of sexual violence are shrouded in stigma and shame. The testimony processing volunteers read each testimony as a precautionary measure before they are uploaded to the website. We are aiming to implement a more advanced website with an AI tool that automatically removes identifying information from each testimony and a paid staff member who manages the testimony processing volunteers.
b) To educate everyone and raise awareness of rape culture and the surrounding issues / to keep people talking
Website: The website serves as an educational tool and an awareness raising platform to expose the sheer prevalence of rape culture in society, the scale of the problem, the way it pervades in society and the life-changing impact of trauma on survivors.
Social Media: Everyone’s Invited delivers engaging, informal education about rape culture and the surrounding issues on our social media platforms including Instagram, Tik Tok, Twitter and Linkedin. These are researched, written and created by our social media content writer volunteers. They are in article, info-graphic and short video formats and are sometimes informed and created in collaboration with our own community members.
c) To secure longevity and stabilise the organisation
Through the development of a fundraising strategy, through the recruitment of core paid employees, through the establishment of an organisational structure and through the recruitment of a hands on and reliable trustee board.
d) To engage with governments and institutions to foster positive change
Governments, institutions, police forces, the criminal justice system, universities, organisations, and schools need to adjust their policies and practices regarding: supporting survivors; strengthening reporting procedures; tackling sexist, misogynistic, and victim blaming attitudes that inform leadership and decision making.
Everyone’s Invited regularly works with government departments such as the Ministry of Justice, the Department for Education, Department for Transport, Ofsted, and the Home Office providing: consultancy; participating in reference groups; giving evidence; and launching consultations to support on the development of draft bills, commercial campaigns and public campaigns.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Values
Survivor Centred
Everyone’s Invited is a survivor centred charity. The nature of its creation means that we are also a survivor-led organisation. The charity has been formed around the needs of survivors, keeping their voices at the heart of our mission; Everyone’s Invited provides a much needed platform ensuring that the voices and experiences of survivors are amplified and heard in their own words. The act of sharing their story with Everyone's Invited allows many survivors a sense of relief, catharsis, empowerment, and gives them a feeling of community and hope.
Anonymity
Anonymity is central to the Everyone’s Invited digital safe space. Anonymity empowers survivors to share their stories openly in a world where experiences of sexual harassment, abuse and violence are shrouded in shame and stigma. Many survivors never openly share or report their experiences because they are frequently disbelieved, invalidated and shamed by their communities and peers.

EVERYONE'S INVITED
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
Empathy, Compassion & Understanding
Everyone’s Invited’s mission is to expose and eradicate rape culture with empathy, compassion and understanding. All our goals and activities are underpinned by these core values. We believe in striving to create a better world built on the foundations of these values. We know that empathy and compassion are needed for people to meaningfully comprehend the universal prevalence of rape culture, the nature of survivor experiences and the devastating impact of sexual violence and trauma. Equally, empathy and compassion are needed for those who are responsible for enabling and perpetrating rape culture. Socialised in a patriarchal culture rooted in power imbalance and inequality, we need empathy to recognise how we are all responsible for creating and sustaining this culture. We have a collective and individual responsibility in challenging a culture that allows inequality, harassment, abuse and sexual violence to exist and thrive in our society.
Reconciliation
Much of the behaviour described within the testimonies is the product of a culture that normalises and trivialises these actions. Growing up, we were socialised to believe that this behaviour was acceptable. Now having read the testimonies everyone can understand the profound weight of everyone’s actions. Moving forward, we know that our responsibility lies in improving and healing the wounds we have uncovered. We do not condone or believe in cancel culture. We have taken crucial steps to ensure that everything on our platform is anonymised for this reason. We urge our community to practise empathy. To reconcile is to understand both sides, to listen, and try our best to understand people’s experiences, thoughts, and actions. Reconciliation does not mean to “forgive and forget” but to “forgive and go forward”. Together we are building on the mistakes of the past and working towards reconciliation and creating a new future. To all who have stood up and spoken and all who have sat down and listened, you are courageous and we thank you.
Diversity and Inclusion
Everyone’s Invited is an inclusive organisation. We are a platform for all survivors of all ages, religions, backgrounds, identities and gender orientations. Everyone’s Invited strives for equality, diversity and inclusion in all our activities and within the workplace. As a new charity, we are developing an approach to increase diversity and advance race equity within the organisation and within all our activities and goals. Sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, bigotry or discrimination of any kind is not tolerated. We believe in platforming a diversity of opinions, perspectives and viewpoints. However, if an individual's conduct or rhetoric incites violence, hatred or threatens the safety of those in the organisation or community this will not be tolerated. Everyone’s Invited is committed to taking an intersectional approach to tackling rape culture, recogninsing how different forms of discrimination intersect and overlap to create unique experiences of oppression. Survivors of colour, disabled survivors and survivors of marginalised genders are disproportionately victims of sexual violence. Everyone’s Invited is striving to be proactive in seeking out marginalised voices that are not platformed enough.

This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the period.

Future Plans
To find and implement additional effective solutions to start to eradicate rape culture.
Research
-
Collaborate with academic researchers, data governance experts, and other partners to ensure the ethical and responsible use of survivor testimonies in research and policy development.
-
A better understanding of rape culture in the UK is essential to driving evidence-based interventions. The testimonies that have been anonymously collected by Everyone’s Invited contain extensive information about the nature of rape culture, and if interrogated appropriately have the potential to provide a gateway to better understand the nature of these crimes.
-
Everyone’s Invited is committed to conducting research that generates evidence and insights to support advocacy, policy development, and educational material on sexual violence and harassment. To better understand the insights in the testimonies, Everyone’s Invited is collaborating with Trilateral Research, a UK ethical AI company focused on supporting stakeholders by combatting complex social problems. Trilateral Research combines social science and human rights expertise with technical sciences to support stakeholders in gaining insights from data that can support advocacy and policy- related decision-making efforts. Doing so is critical to improving our understanding of rape culture and better informing public awareness.
-
By forming this strategic partnerships with Trilateral Research EI will aim to leverage interdisciplinary approaches and ethical AI to address complex societal issues related to rape culture. Exploring the potential of natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to uncover themes and trends in the testimonies, driving evidence-based advocacy and education.
-
Co-submitting grant application to support further research to generate knowledge.
-
Contributing tailored outputs that increase evidence based knowledge in accessible forms to a wider range of stakeholders (government departments, policy advisors, wider society) to inform previously unknown themes, intervention points, and educational materials.
Education
-
We aimed to launch the Everyone’s Invited education programme in September 2022 and we aimed to reach 50 schools by 2023. We were successful in meeting this target.
-
We plan to develop a programme that will empower school communities to promote healthy relationships and sexual well-being by equipping young people, teachers and parents with the knowledge, skills and confidence to tackle rape culture in their school communities. We will deliver training on consent, sexual well-being, healthy relationships, understanding rape culture, digital intimacy and online safety. We believe that relatability is crucial to the impact of education delivery. This programme will be created by individuals who share and understand young people's experiences having grown up in the modern sexual landscape underpinned by the digital revolution of the social world and the rise and mainstreaming of hardcore pornography.
-
We will prioritise the monitoring and impact evaluation of this programme and strive to form partnerships with academics who specialise in this area. We will leverage data collection from surveys and research to enhance and improve the quality of the education.

The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

These financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2022 are the first financial statements of Everyone's Invited prepared in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
