For the period 1 May 2024 – 30 April 2025
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 64 educational workshops to over 5,500 people. This included reaching over 3,000 secondary school students, almost 400 teachers, 800 professionals involved in safeguarding and 1, adults working in healthcare environments.
Financial Review
For the period ending 30th April 2025, the charity recorded total receipts of £74,618, comprised of £36,097 in unrestricted funds and £38,522 in restricted funds. No endowment funds were received during this period.
The majority of income was derived from grants from charitable trusts and foundations, reflecting strong 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 second year of operation, we have built up £29,575 of reserves which are from unrestricted funding and donations. These reserves will ensure the charity's operational resilience over the coming financial periods and will enable the charity to address any future financial uncertainties.
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.
For the year ahead, the charity aims to increase revenue raised through workshop fees and donations from attendees, while continuing to raise funds from grants to support its mission and activities.
