## **Anti Racist Cumbria**
## **Report of the trustees**
## **For the year ended 31 December 2024**
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Constitution and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective from January 2019).
## **Structure, governance and management**
Anti Racist Cumbria (ARC) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered with the Charity Commission under the charity number 1197005 on 8 December 2021, having operated as a voluntary organisation since September 2020. The charity is governed by its Constitution, which has been approved by the Charity Commission, that sets out it's charitable objects as the promotion of equality and diversity and racial harmony for the public benefit in Cumbria by:
- a) working towards the elimination of discrimination on the grounds of race;
- b) promoting knowledge and mutual understanding between different racial groups; and
- c) advancing education and raising awareness about different racial groups to promote good relations between persons of different racial groups.
## Recruitment and induction of trustees
ARC has a Trustee Board of six members. The recruitment process focuses on ensuring that trustees are aligned with the mission and values of ARC. Induction includes comprehensive training on anti-racism and the specific goals of the organisation.
## Organisational structure
ARC is a CIO with only its trustees as voting members. The Board oversees the direction of the charity and holds to account the employed staff, of which there were 4 full time at the time of this reporting. In addition there are approximately twenty-one freelance facilitators, eight freelance youth workers and over one hundred volunteers.
The organisational structure is designed to support its five pillars of work: Impacting Leadership, Growing Grassroots, Education, Communication, and Embodiment & Self-Regulation.
## **Objectives, activities and performance** Impacting leadership
ARC delivers a range of anti-racist programmes to various sectors in Cumbria, including local authorities, the NHS, and arts and culture. These programmes focus on conversations rather than traditional training, aiming to foster deep understanding and commitment to anti-racism.
As part of the Impacting Leadership strand, ARC recognises the importance of influencing policy. The organisation dedicates energy to addressing systemic racism in national and local government policies, as well as in policy frameworks guiding specific sectors like the NHS. Key activities include:
- strengthening strategic relationships: ARC collaborates with like-minded collectives across the UK, such as The Phoenix Way, Runnymede Trust, and the Black Equity Organisation;
- engaging with consultations: ARC actively participates in consultations and meets with policymakers to advocate for anti-racism; and
- commissioning research: ARC explores partnerships with researchers and universities to commission research that increases the evidence base for anti-racist policies.
## Transforming Education
When ARC started out, it was clear that education would be a significant part of its work, but the scope and impact have grown beyond initial expectations. Education at ARC involves working with early years, primary and secondary schools, further education, and higher education institutions.
2
## **Anti Racist Cumbria**
## **Report of the trustees**
## **For the year ended 31 December 2024**
It also includes educating educators and the wider community.
While ARC has made significant progress under its education pillar, the availability of funding has constrained the extent of its work with schools. Despite these challenges, ARC has continued to engage with schools in various ways, adapting its approach to maximize impact within available resources.
ARC's educational efforts extend beyond the formal school system. The organisation recognises that education is a continuous process that occurs in all aspects of its work. This realisation led to the development of the Communications pillar, which plays a crucial role in educating the wider community through various channels.
In summary, ARC's work in transforming education is comprehensive and multifaceted, involving direct engagement with schools, innovative educational initiatives, and continuous community education. The organisation's commitment to education is evident in its adaptive strategies and ongoing efforts to secure funding and expand its impact.
## Growing Grassroots
Cumbria is home to around 500,000 people and is one of the whitest counties in the UK. ARC's aim to create the UK's first anti-racist county requires working with all communities, in a range of settings. The grassroots efforts are vital in supporting black and brown communities and challenging white communities to become anti-racist.
Initially, ARC viewed the community as split between youth and everyone else. The focus was on working collaboratively with other community organisations to reach more people. However, with limited resources, it became clear that a more focused approach was needed. By the end of 2023, ARC decided to prioritize work with young people while seeking funding to extend into the wider community.
One of the flagship highlights of ARC's grassroots work is the short animated film "The Fell We Climb." This project began in 2020 during the "Race and Education" event, where young Black and Brown people in Cumbria shared their experiences. The film, created by these young people, has won over 13 international film awards and continues to be a valuable resource for training and education.
ARC has built strong relationships with various community groups, including an African community group in Cumbria. This group, which started as a response to a racist attack, now boasts over 200 members and provides support and information on various issues, including racism. The group has become a vibrant community hub, addressing both racism and everyday needs like finding accommodation or selling a car.
ARC's work with white allies has been crucial in shaping communities where everyone has a sense of belonging. This work began in earnest in 2023 and involves engaging white volunteers to become drivers of change. ARC sees white allies as community partners and has developed activities to support their journeys towards anti-racism.

## **Anti Racist Cumbria**
## **Report of the trustees**
## **For the year ended 31 December 2024**
The grassroots work has helped ARC understand the diverse communities within Cumbria. This understanding has led to the development of activities that support these communities' journeys and feed into ARC's Theory of Change. However, there have been challenges, such as limited resources and the need to prioritize certain areas of work.
ARC plans to continue expanding its grassroots efforts with a focus on both young people and the wider community. Key future activities include:
- community development role: with funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, ARC has appointed a full-time community development role to support and extend its grassroots work;
- youth engagement: ARC will continue to engage young people through projects like "The Fell We Climb" and other initiatives that amplify their voices and experiences;
- building relationships: ARC will strengthen its relationships with marginalized groups and support their needs, whether through community meetings, support networks, or addressing specific issues like new forms of racism; and
- white allies: ARC will continue to engage white allies, providing them with the tools and support needed to become effective anti-racist advocates in their communities.
In summary, ARC's grassroots work is a critical component of its mission to create an anti-racist Cumbria. By focusing on both young people and the wider community, building strong relationships, and engaging white allies, ARC aims to foster a more inclusive and supportive environment for all residents.
## Communication
Communication is at the heart of ARC's work, playing a crucial role in spreading its message and engaging with the community. Initially not seen as a separate pillar, communication became a distinct and essential part of ARC's strategy by mid-2021, thanks to grant support from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
Over the past four years, ARC has successfully grown its communication presence with the support of a 17-strong Communications Volunteers team. This team assists the Comms and Policy lead in creating digital content for social media channels and the website. Key achievements include:
- social media engagement: ARC has a strong presence on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, where it shares updates, educational content, and event information;
- video content: ARC produces videos that are shared on YouTube and other platforms. For example, its Microaggressions video has over 21,000 views and is used as an educational tool in many schools and industries across the county and country; and
- annual summit: ARC's annual summit is a significant event that brings together community members, stakeholders, and experts to discuss and promote anti-racism.
A recent survey highlighted the effectiveness of ARC's communication efforts, and over 45% of participants had heard about ARC's social media and comms activities like the Summit.
In summary, communication is a vital component of ARC's strategy, enabling the organisation to engage with the community, spread its message, and promote anti-racism effectively. By building on its successes and exploring new opportunities, ARC aims to continue making a significant impact through its communication efforts.

## Embodiment & regulation
Embodiment and self-regulation are integral to ARC's work, recognising the physical and emotional impacts of racism. This approach is guided by the work of Embodiment Coach and Racial Trauma Practitioner Rowan Carr, and it informs all of ARC's training programmes and client sessions.
ARC's ethos centres around embodied education, which supports learning through both the mind and body. This approach helps expand the capacity for deeper learning and empathy, recognising that responses to racism are not just mental but also physical. By developing tools and techniques, ARC equips individuals to engage in conversations about racism and actively work against it.
All of ARC's training programmes now include embodiment tools. These tools can be polarising ("marmite") for participants new to this kind of work, but evaluations show that the majority find this aspect of ARC's work is unique, innovative, and significantly impactful. Participants report a deeper understanding of racism and how it is upheld through these embodied practices.
ARC has created safe peer-support spaces called "Living Whilst Black" (LWB) groups, which foster co-regulation and healing. These groups regularly support around 40 Black and Brown adults, with attendees from Cumbria and beyond, including Manchester, Leicester, and London. The groups are open to any Black and Brown person, regardless of their preferred term of self-identification.
A similar LWB session was set up for young people but has not been as well received. Conversations with young people revealed that they are not yet ready for the format that works well with adults. ARC is committed to working with young people to develop practices in embodiment and self-regulation that resonate with them.
ARC plans to dedicate future resources to support young people in accessing and understanding embodiment and self-regulation tools early. The organisation recognises the importance of these tools for young people to manage racial trauma and engage in anti-racist work effectively.
The racist, Islamophobic, and anti-Black riots of August 2024 highlighted the need for those in positions of power to acknowledge and address racism. This period was deeply traumatic for ARC's Black and Brown members and staff, but it also underscored the importance of ARC's work in creating safe spaces and fostering healing.
ARC will continue to integrate embodiment and self-regulation into all aspects of its work. This approach not only supports individuals in managing discussions around race and racism but also ensures that those working towards change are resourced and sustained.
In summary, ARC's focus on regulation and embodiment is a critical component of its strategy to create an anti-racist Cumbria. By incorporating embodied education, creating safe spaces like the Living Whilst Black groups, and developing tools for self-regulation, ARC supports individuals in their anti-racist journeys and fosters a deeper understanding of racism's impacts.
## Achievements and performance
ARC has made significant strides in its mission to create an anti-racist Cumbria. Key achievements include successful programmes in education and leadership, impactful grassroots initiatives, and a strong communications strategy. The organisation has also developed innovative approaches to addressing racism and supporting affected communities.

## Risk management and going concern
ARC acknowledges the challenges of sustaining its work, particularly in securing long-term funding. The organisation is focused on building strategic partnerships and advocating for unrestricted funding to ensure its continued impact. ARC’s risk management matrix details its principal risks which include: Covid-19, Government policy changes, Reputational Damage, Competition for services and Funding reductions. And our strategies for risk reduction include ongoing evaluation and adaptation of programmes and approaches.
## Reserves policy
ARC is working towards being in a position to hold up to 4 months in running costs for the charity to be in a more secure position. The reserves target is approximately £87,420. It currently stands at 3-4 months, with an average for 2024 of 4 months in reserves.
## Financial review
During the year the charity received income of £258,449 and incurred expenditure of £262,258, with a deficit of £3,809 for the year.
The charity currently holds reserves of £87,547, which is in line with the reserves target. Reserves are defined as unrestricted net current assets.
## **Statement of responsibilities of the trustees**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure, of the charity for the year. 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 Charities SORP;
- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- ▪ state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which 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 constitution. The trustees 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**
## **To the trustees of**
## **Anti Racist Cumbria**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Anti Racist Cumbria (the CIO) for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 9 to 22.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and 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.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
Since the CIO’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 the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
Godfrey Wilson Limited also provides payroll services to the CIO. I confirm that as a member of the ICAEW I am subject to the FRC's Revised Ethical Standard 2016, which I have applied with respect to this engagement.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 CIO as required by section 130 of the 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.

## **Anti Racist Cumbria**
## **Notes to the financial statements**
## **For the year ended 31 December 2024**
**1. Accounting policies**
## **a) General information and basis of preparation**
Anti Racist Cumbria is an charitable incorporated organisation registered in England and Wales. The registered office address is 167 - 169 Great Portland Street, 5th Floor, London, Greater London W1W 5PF.
The financial statements have been prepared 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) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
Anti Racist Cumbria 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 note.
## **b) Going concern basis of accounting**
The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
## **c) Income**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from the government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
## **d) Donated services and facilities**
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item, is probable and the economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
11
## **Anti Racist Cumbria**
## **Notes to the financial statements**
## **For the year ended 31 December 2024**
## **e) Funds accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
## **f) Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
## **g) Allocation of support and governance costs**
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity, including the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements and any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities based on the proportion of staff cost as follows:
||**2024**|2023|
|---|---|---|
|Raising funds|**30.0%**|19.0%|
|Charitable activities|**70.0%**|81.0%|
## **h) Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:
Computer equipment 3 years straight line
Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500.
12
## **Anti Racist Cumbria**
## **Notes to the financial statements**
## **For the year ended 31 December 2024**
## **i) Stock**
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.
## **j) Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **k) Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and cash 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.
## **l) Creditors**
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. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## **m) Financial instruments**
The trust 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 recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **n) Pension costs**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. There are no further liabilities other than that already recognised in the SOFA.
## **o) Accounting estimates and key judgements**
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are depreciation as described in note h above.
