CHARITIES ADMINISTERED BY THE BRITISH FEDERATION OF WOMEN GRADUATES TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31st DECEMBER 2024
British Federation of Women Graduates Scholarship Fund Trust
Trustees serving during the year:
Emeritus Professor Kate Irving BSc (Hons) PGCE MSc PhD (Chair from July 2023) Professor Cynthia Burek (appointed November 2023)
Ms Jennie Landsberg BEd (Hons) MEd NPQH (Trustee with responsibility for Finance) Ms Margaret Middlemass BA FCA (appointed May 2024) Associate Professor Miljana Radivojevi ć MA MSc Magistar PhD FHEA Ms Ann Scott BSc MSc (appointed May 2023) Dr Lorraine Thomas NA (Hons) MA PGCE PGCert PhD (appointed February 2023)
The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. This report also covers the International Fellowship Fund which is part of the BFWG Scholarship Charity (with a separate bank account and separate accounts presented to the Annual Meeting and to BFWG). The funds for the International Fellowship are from a legacy which stipulated that income should be applied to an award determined by the International Federation of Women Graduates (now Graduate Women International), normally in the name of an early BFWG President. The Trustees confirm that all financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Scholarship Fund Trust Deed and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) – Accounting and Reporting by Charities, applicable to charities preparing their accounts (FRS 102).
Objectives and activities
In carrying out their duties the Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
The purpose of the BFWG Scholarship Fund, as described in its Declaration of Trust document, is the awarding of scholarships, making grants and loans, and awarding prizes for the purpose of promoting or furthering post-graduate education of women of any nationality. The first award for academic research was given by the British Federation of University Women (now known as the British Federation of Women Graduates (BFWG)) in 1912. Since then, the Federation has continued to give awards and currently does so on an annual basis, to women doctoral students normally starting the second half of their doctoral programme at university in England, Scotland or Wales.
Trust operation
The scholarship Fund Trustees meet at least three times in a year in person and via zoom. It is likely that the trust will continue to have at least one online meeting per year (plus the Annual Public Meeting (APM) aligned with the BFWG AGM), saving costs from the past practice of three London meetings each year.
The Charity is a Trust, governed by its Declaration of Trust dated 9[th] July 1983. New Trustees are appointed by the existing group of Trustees and are normally but not exclusively, drawn from the membership of the British Federation of Women Graduates. Appointments are tabled by the Council of the Federation at its Annual General Meeting held every July. A skill audit of the board is conducted annually and skills needed identified, to inform the recruitment of future trustees. Trustees’ appointments are for an initial three years, renewable for a further three years, after which the Trustee must stand down. Semi-structured briefings for both prospective trustees, and for the induction of new trustees, have been developed to ensure a full appreciation of both legal obligations and trust operation.
Representatives of our Independent Financial Adviser, Chase de Vere and our accountants and auditor, Goldwins Chartered Accountants, continue to attend our meetings to give financial updates and advice

and their input demonstrates not only the exemplary professional integrity expected of such advisers but a very personal engagement with the Trust and Trustees, which is highly valued. The Annual Report and Accounts are available on the BFWG website before the APM. A separate report on the finances is also provided.
Academic Awards 2024
Seven awards were made in 2024 totaling £22,000.
International Fellowship
Our Grant to Graduate Women International (GWI) for the International Fellowship, The Ida Smedley Maclean Fellowship, of £5,000 was last made in March 2022, so will be awarded in 2025.
Research Presentations Day
The Research Presentation Day (RPD) for 2024 was held in person on 10[th] May at the Institute of Archaeology, UCL (courtesy of a trustee ) . Eight students presented their findings with the emphasis on the communication of complex issues to a cross-disciplinary audience with all presenters being provided with feedback.
Financial review
The attached financial statement indicates the Fund’s financial position at the end of 2024. The main source of income for the Fund comes from interest on investments and this provides the monies for the Academic Awards/Research Presentation Day prize each year. Some small donations are also received along with occasional legacies. An administration fee per Academic Award application is charged and provided income for the cost of running the awards process each year.
Reserves policy
The current reserves policy is a minimum of one year’s worth of Academic Awards which is held in cash reserves to enable the payment of Awards to continue even if income generation has been insufficient in that year.
Structure, governance and management
In 2021 and 2022, significant work was done in reviewing the Terms of Reference, producing a more detailed Risk Register (in line with the Charity Commission template), considering the BFWG Articles/Scholarship Fund Declaration of Trust and developing a Master Document for trustees, containing core information and details on both the running of the Trust and the administration of the Awards. As mentioned above, a Trustee induction presentation has also been introduced, along with a shorter meeting for prospective trustees (led by the Chair). This work has continued. The trustees are also discussing the future scope of the Awards, bearing in mind our responsibility to maintain both the charity’s purposes and changes in the needs of graduate women studying and working in UK higher education.
Trust Board
Emeritus Professor Kate Irving, Trustee and Secretary to the Board, took over the Chair following the 2023 Annual Public Meeting. Her secretarial duties are progressively being taken on by the BFWG administrator.

CHARITIES ADMINISTERED BY THE BRITISH FEDERATION OF WOMEN GRADUATES TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31st DECEMBER 2024
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
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 (Financial Reporting Council).
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 of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these 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 (Statement of Recommended Practice);
-
make judgments and accounting 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, and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and 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 trust deed/constitution. 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.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Formal declaration
The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the Charity. All documentation to the Charity Commission has been submitted including changes to the Trustees.
Statement as to disclosure to our auditors
In so far as the Trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

Independent Auditors' Report to the Trustees of Charities Administered by the British Federation of Women Graduates
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Charities Administered by the British Federation of Women Graduates (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is 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).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
•give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity s affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
•have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
•have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC s Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material
5
Independent Auditors' Report to the Trustees of Charities Administered by the British Federation of Women Graduates
misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
•sufficient accounting records have not been kept;
-
•the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
•we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit.
Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:
-
We enquired of management, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity's policies and procedures relating to:
-
identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
6
Independent Auditors' Report to the Trustees of Charities Administered by the British Federation of Women Graduates
-
Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;
-
The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud.
-
We obtained an understanding of the environment that the charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements.
-
We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable accounting standard.
-
We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
-
In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor s report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Charity s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and the regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
