I EXIST TOO Trustees’ annual report For the year 6 April 2024 to 5 April 2025
The Trustees are pleased to present their annual trustees’ report together with the financial statements of the charity for the period **06 April 2024 to 05 April 2025** .
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2022, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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 October 2019).
## **1. Objectives and Activities**
I Exist Too was registered as a charity following the success of the I Exist Too Forum in May 2023 in which leading maritime industry professionals, academics, human rights advocates, diplomats and United Nations agencies gathered in Panama to improve the visibility and rights of LGBTIQ+ population within the maritime industry.
We believe in a maritime industry where everyone feels safe, valued, and empowered. We bring together leading voices - professionals, academics and human rights advocates to champion - inclusion.
Our vision is a maritime industry where everyone feels valued and respected, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
As demonstrated in 2023 with the inaugural I Exist Too forum, we do not just talk. We take action. We raise awareness, advocate for change, and work to create a more inclusive future for all seafarers.
Our primary objectives are as follows:
- Visibility: promote the visibility of LGBTIQ+ professionals within the maritime industry.
- Access: strengthen the access and career development of LGBTIQ+ people within the maritime industry.
- Inclusion: promote action frameworks for the establishment of inclusive policies that guarantee the protection of LGBTIQ+ people within the maritime industry.
- Growth: promote innovation, development, and continuous growth of the maritime industry through diverse, inclusive, and respective human talent participation.
During our first year of operation as a charity, our primary activities have been centred around the following key aspects:
1. Setting up the charity as an organisation, including recruiting Trustees, registering the charity with the UK Charity Commission, and ensuring the tools exist for the longterm financial management of the charity (e.g. setting up a bank account appropriate to the needs of the charity).
2. Organising the 2025 I Exist Too forum in Malta, from 8-9 May 2025 building on the success of the 2023 forum.

3. Starting the development of the I Exist Too mentoring and education scheme, led by one of our Trustees Dr Jesus Garcia Jimenez.
4. Fundraising to ensure that the charity can deliver these activities.
## **2. Public Benefit Statement**
I Exist Too is a charity that supports the promotion of equality and diversity and the elimination of discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation in the global maritime industry for the public benefit by:
- a) providing information, advice and support services for LGBTQ+ people in the maritime industry.
- b) advancing education and raising awareness on the subject of LGBTQ+ rights, participation and issues in the global maritime industry.
- c) conducting or commissioning research on LGBTQ+ equality and diversity issues in the global maritime industry and publishing the results to the public.
## **3. Policy on Grant Making**
Although I Exist Too does not currently have an open grant-making programme, should the Trustees approve grant-making in the future, eligibility criteria will be established to ensure that funds are used effectively. These may include:
1. The type of organisations or individuals eligible to apply.
2. The specific activities or projects that may be funded.
3. Any restrictions on the use of funds.
4. The application and assessment process.
The Trustees will oversee any grant-making activities to ensure alignment with the charity’s objectives and legal obligations. Any grants awarded will be reported in the charity’s annual accounts and trustees’ report, in line with regulatory requirements.
This policy will be reviewed periodically to ensure it remains appropriate and reflects any changes in the charity’s approach to funding and resource allocation.
## **4. Policy on Social Investment**
I Exist Too does not currently engage in social investment. Should the Trustees approve such activities in the future they will oversee any social investment activities, ensuring that all decisions align with the charity’s objectives and legal obligations. A robust risk assessment process will be implemented to evaluate potential investments. Any social investments made will be reported in the charity’s financial statements and Trustees’ report.
## **5. Contribution by Volunteers**
We do not currently record the time spent by volunteers with I Exist Too, however we aim to incorporate this into our operations as the charity matures and grows. Currently, the majority of the work with I Exist Too is delivered by its four Trustees, supported by a small number of volunteers who help with aspects such as social media, IT assistance, photography, and graphic design.

1. The development of our first mentoring scheme and outline plan for conception and delivery.

> 1 The 2023 forum was held before _I Exist Too_ was a charity, hence why no information is contained within our accounts and Trustee report for that year. The _I Exist Too_ charity exists as a result of outcomes that forum, which was organised by Newcastle University.

## **Reserves policy/No reserves reason/Going concern**
The Trustees consider the level of reserves, £42,825 (2023/2024 £0.00), prudent for the Charity at this time taking into account potential liabilities in the event that the charity ceased. Our Reserves Policy is reviewed annually.
## **10. Risk Management**
The Trustees of I Exist Too are committed to effective risk management to ensure the charity’s stability, sustainability, and ability to achieve its objectives. As this is our first year of operation, we are actively identifying risks and their mitigating actions to develop a full risk register that will be implemented fully in the coming months.
Going forward into the next financial year, I Exist Too will take a proactive approach to risk management by:
- Regularly identifying and assessing key risks that may affect operations, governance, finances, and reputation.
- Implementing appropriate controls and mitigation strategies to reduce the likelihood and impact of risks.
- Reviewing and updating risk management processes periodically to respond to emerging risks and changes in the operating environment.
- Ensuring risk management is embedded in decision-making at all levels.
Risk management will be overseen by Trustees, with regular reviews conducted to assess the effectiveness of mitigation measures. The charity will create and maintain a risk register, which will be reviewed and updated periodically to ensure ongoing oversight and accountability.
The Trustees remain vigilant in managing risks to safeguard the charity’s mission and ensure the continued delivery of its charitable objectives. This commitment to risk management supports the charity’s resilience and ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
## **11. Plans for future periods**
Our plans for future periods include the following key activities:
1. Develop and mature the governing structure of the charity, building upon the work and experiences developed in its formative year.
2. Continue to seek and receive grants from partners in the maritime industry to continue our work and deliver on our objectives.
3. Continue to work to organise and deliver the upcoming I Exist Too 2025 forum in Malta, along with our supporters and partners.
4. Further develop our grant-funded educational and mentoring programme, being led by our Trustee, Jesus Jimenez.
5. Expand our outreach into other areas of the maritime industry.

## **17. Statement of Trustee Responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity SORP 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 incoming resources and application of resources, including the receipts and payments of the charity for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- 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 accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. 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.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES**
For the year ended 05 April 2025
I report on the financial statements of I Exist Too for the year ended 05 April 2025, which are set out on pages 11 to 18.
## **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 2022 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, 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 examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my 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.

## 2.2 **Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis**
The charity reported total unrestricted funds at the year end of £12,825 and has already secured a significant amount of funding for the current year. The trustees are of the view that the immediate future of the charity for the next 12 to 18 months is secure and that on this basis the charity is a going concern.
## 3 **Income**
## 3.1 **Recognition of income**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the resources, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is more likely than not that the resources will be received and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability
## 3.2 **Offsetting**
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by FRS102 SORP or FRS102.
## 3.3 **Grants and donations**
Income from 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.
Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria of income recognition are met.

Liabilities are recognised when it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
## 4.2 **Charitable activities**
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of work and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
## 4.3 **Governance and support costs**
Support costs have been allocated between governance cost and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## 4.4 **Irrecoverable VAT**
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## 4.5 **Creditors**
The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.
## 4.6 **Provisions for liabilities**
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
