Charity name: Educate Not Mutilate (CIO) Charity registration number: 1203073
Objectives and Activities
To promote, preserve and protect the physical and mental health of women and girls in particular, but not exclusively, by tackling the gender-based violence and health inequality that is rooted in female genital mutilation, breast ironing and other forms of gender-based violence through educational workshops and otherwise advancing education and raising awareness of the issues among school students, teachers, health professionals and the wider public.
The trustees confirm that they have considered and adhered to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission regarding public benefit while carrying out their duties and in making decisions for the charity
Achievements and Performance
During this period we successfully delivered 81 educational workshops to over 9,000 people. This included reaching almost 4,000 secondary school students, over 900 teachers, 3,500 professionals involved in safeguarding and 760 adults working in healthcare environments.
Financial Review
For the period ending 30th April 2024, the charity recorded total receipts of £28,369, comprised of £18,369 in unrestricted funds and £10,000 in restricted funds. No endowment funds were received during this period.
The majority of income was derived from donations and fundraising activities, reflecting strong initial support for the charity's mission and objectives.
The trustees have adopted a policy of building reserves to ensure financial stability and support the sustainability of the charity's activities. As this is our first year of operation, no reserves have been established yet; however, it is our intention to gradually develop reserves over the coming financial periods to address any future financial uncertainties and ensure the charity's operational resilience.
There are no funds currently in deficit, and the charity faces no uncertainties about continuing as a going concern. The trustees are confident that the charity is in a stable financial position and can continue to meet its objectives effectively.
Structure, Governance and Management
The charity is governed by a Constitution adopted on 15 May 2023, the date of its formal registration. The charity is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), providing it with its own legal identity and limited liability for trustees.
Trustees are appointed in line with the procedures outlined in the Constitution, either through election or by resolution of the existing trustees.

Independent examiner's report on the accounts
Section A Independent Examiner’s Report
Report to the trustees/ Educate Note Mutilate CIO members of On accounts for the year 30[th] April 2024 Charity no 1203073 ended
Set out on pages 1-2
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
- My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my examiner's statement attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect,:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
• the accounts did 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 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 .
