govemment to advocate for investment and
programmes that benefit young people.
Elsewhere, we have seen tangible impacts of
our work. Delivering critical nutrition services
to hundreds ofthousands of families in Nigeria
over the last three years, has led to healthier
mums and pregnant women. as well as lower
rates of malnutrition among babies and children.
In Zimbabwe, 13,200 marginalised adolescent
girls have now received vocational skills and
learning through our work there. Around 77% of
these girls have then gone on to further education,
training or employment- dramatically enhancing
their options and prospects in life. Ouryoung
Health Programme is also notable, running both
in the UK and in several locations overseas. This
programme is redefining how young people
are informed and supported in making positive
choices for their health, wellbeing and lifestyle.
The external environment in which Plan
International operates remains challenging.
Changing geopolitics, conflict and climate
change Continue to erode previous progress
and exacerbate inequalities, poverty and
hungeraround the world. This, alongside
sobering estimates that it will take over 130
years to achieve gender equality, makes all
of us even more resolute and determined
in our purpose: to advance children's rights
and equalityfor girls.
Despite facing uncertainties and constraints, we
are immensely proud of ourwork. Earlier this year.
Rose visited a project in Jesus de Machaca in
Bolivia which empowered young women to start
entrepreneurial ventures. The programme not
only contributed to their financial independence
but was also achieving long-term change in their
communities- shifting perspectlV8s on th8 rol8 of
girls and women, and demonstrating the agency
of young people to make change within theirown
Gommunities.
At the same time, the deeply concerning and
worsening situations in Gaza, Sudan, and
Ukraine. to name just a few, have weighed
heavily on our hearts. The images and stories
emerging from th8S8 regions serv8 as a stark
reminderofthe urgency and importance of
humanitarian response, as well as the gendered
impacts ofcrisis on girls and young women. We
continue to raise funds, advocate to governments
to take action, and work with local partners
to provide vital aid to those living in these
catastrophic crises.
While there, Rose met Cristina, a fomier

encouragement of her sponsor had given her
the confidence and belief in herself to continue

A MESSAGE FROM
OUR YOUTH ADVISORY
PANEL
My name is Aneurin. I've been a member of
Plan International UK'S Youth Advisory Panel
(YAPI since August 2023. Joining YAP has
given me so many opportunities to grow and
work with an amazing team.
YAP is a group ofyoung people who are
committed to the advocacy of children's rights
and gender equality. We work in a team to inform
the decision making of Plan International UK
to ensure the voices of the youth are taken into
account. This is important in making sure the
charity carries out their goal properly: to promote
the rights of children and girls.
One highlight would have to be all the work we
did leading up to the 2024 General Election. From
the honest conversations we had on the current
political state of our country, to the contributions
we made on Plan International UK'S General
Election Manifesto, we at YAP are very fortunate
to be part of an organisation that actively listens
to young people.
l applied to YAP as a way of gaining vital
experience in advocacy and campaigns. Yet.
in retrospect, I have gained so much more.
I've strengthened many valuable skills such as
teamwork, communication and organisation.
Skills that helped me land my current position
as a catering assistant at my local hospital, and
that have helped me grow as a person.
Yet our work is farfrom done. It's up to all of us
to hold our politicians to account. W8 at YAP ar8
looking to contact our local MPS to urge the new
Government to prioritise advancing children's and
girls, rights so we can create a better world for
our youth.
Stand-out activities include the inductions we
did on media Iraining. humanitarian aid and
Gampaigns., all ofwhich are relevantto my desired
career in diplomacy.
I'm incredibly proud of what we've achieved
so far and look forward to another year of being
a youth advisor.

OUR STRATEGY
Our Trustees, Annual Report is structured to reflect our 2021-2023
organisational strategy. During this reporting period, we came to the
end of this strategy and embarked upon a new one.
For the purposes of this report, we continue to share our reflections and
achievements from the past year against our 2021-2023 strategy. On page 25.
we also offer some additional highlights from across the full strategy period.
These reflections remind us
of the progress made towards
advancing children's rights
and equality for girls. Yet they
also humble us with what is
still to be done. There are many
barriers to progress and Plan
International UK must continue
to evolve so we can deliverour

PROGRAMME
WITH IMPACT
Our programmes prioritise protecting children's
rights and keeping girfs safe, learning and in
control of their bodies, including in humanitarian
crises-an area in which we are seeing a sharp
increase in need worldwide.
Together with communities and partners,
we deliver programmes which help tackle
the biggest challengesfacing children and
young people in the UK and globally- with a
particularfocus on girls. in all theirdiversity.
Delivering both long-term development
programmes and responding to humanitarian
crises ensures we continue to have impact in the
lives of children. and especially girls who often
find themselves disproportionately affected.
And increasingly. our programm8s must
simultaneously do both - work with communities
to address longer-term needs while preparing for
and responding to crises.
This year we supported people affected by the
humanitarian crises in Gaza and Sudan, among
many others. In Gaza, more than 85% ofthe
population has been displaced from their homes
since events on 7 October 2023. Thousands of
children have been killed. Without a ceaselire.
children and families remain at huge risk. And
in Sudan, where conflict brok8 Out in April 2023,
nearly a million peopl8 are on th8 brink offamine,
including children.
We have scaled up our response to both
crises. working in partnership with other Plan
International offices and local partners to deliver
much-needed aid. This includes food and water,
non-food items such as shelter materials, and
mental health and psychological support. Though
access in Gaza has been challenging, we were
able to deliver 19 trucks ofsupplies into Gaza and
6,000 hot meals.

As proud members of the Disasters Emergency
Committee IDECI, we also continued to support
people affected by the Ukraine conflict, reaching
almost 467,000 people since our response
began in 2022. We have strengthened civil
society organisations and provided refugees
and displaced families with multiple services.
This includes food, financial support for
accommodation and shelter rehabilitation. and life
skills and employment support. It also includes
protection services. safe spaces for children. and
mental health and psychological support.
Elsewhere, our child sponsorship programme
supported comtnunities all overtheworld to help
educate, empower and protect children. Nearly
63.000 children around the world were supported
directly by UK sponsors alone last year. With this
support, communities have been able to provide
what children need to thrive- from the chance to
go to school to access to safe water.

Tina, 18, has been ableto return lo leaming

in South Sudan.
Education Cannot Wait in South Sudan
In South Sudan, girls representjust 31% of
children currently attending classes at secondary
school. Inequality, harmful gender norms and
inadequate school facilities all make it more likely
that girls will leave school early- but conflict
makes girls even mor8 vulnerable.
"It is hard for girls to go to school when they are
menstruating. There is no changing room or toilets
where we can change our sanitary pad or feel
clean. This is why lots ofgirls stay at home, then
they fall behind and it's hard to catch up. A lot of
girls will be forced to marry early, then they stop
coming to school."
The multi-year humanitarian and resilience
programme in South Sudan funded by Education
Cannot Wait seeks to tackle this by ensuring
access to quality, safe and inclusive education-
including for girls like 18-year-old Tina:

VOICE FOR CHANGE
and young people, including the particular
impacts on girls, and the crucial role that
young people can play in addressing climate
change. We successfully engaged with multiple
governments including the UK to influence
negotiations and secured a commitment to a new
formal focus on children and climate change in
future conferences.
Across the year we continued to be a powerful
voice forchange, influencing decisionsthat
affect girls and all children.
We continued to work closely with the Foreign,
Commonwealth and Development Office
IFCDO) to shape their policies and action that
support girls around the world. We contributed
to the development of the Government's new
International Development stralegy, which
centres women and girls, helping to ensure
that the righls of girls will be prioritised within
international development.
In April and May, we supported two young
people. Holly from the UK and Chetana from
Nepal. to attend the UN'S Commission on
Population and Development {CPDI to influence
on sexual and reproductive health and rights
ISRHRI. We successfully advocated for Holly
to bethe UK Government's first Youth Advisor
to CPD and an official member of their delegation.
Holly shared priorities for young people with
the Government- and as a result many of these
were included in the Ministerof Development's
statement given during the Conference. This will
contribute to ensuring that the Government's
action on SRHR is infomied by young
people's experiences.
With a general election on the horizon. we worked
with girls to develop a clear vision for the action
we want to see from the next UK Government. We
launched our manifesto and will
continue to use this to advocate for policies that
address the barriers girls face.

SPOTLIGHT:
CRIME NOT COMPLIMENT
Public sexual harassment is an everyday
realityfor girls. Girls and young women
repeatedly tell us that they want it to stop but
they feel they are left unprotected by the law.
"I hope we will live in a world where
women and girls won't live in fear."
Dinah, 19. UK
That's why in November 2020, Plan International
UK launched the Crime Not Compliment
campaign in partnership with the youth-led
organisation Our Streets Now. Together with
thousands ofgirls across the UK, we set out to
change the law to protect girls from public sexual
harassment.
After years of tireless campaigning, the Protection
from Sex-Based Harassment in Public Act passed
in October 2023 and will be enforced bythe police
from October2024. This marks a significant
moment towards making the UK'S streets safe
for girls and women and is an essential step for
bringing about long-term cultural change.
In the meantime, we have been working with the
Government to ensure that the law leads to real
change in how cases of public sexual harassment
are handled. And we will be holding them
to account.

YOUTH CENTRED
inputting into the Global Refugea Forum Youth
Manifesto and participating in the UN General
Assembly and COP28 UN climate Conference
to raise awareness of challenges children face
in accessing education in emergencies.
Members of our Youth Advisory Panel and the
Youth4EiE panel collaborated with other youth
activists and the Foreign, Commonwealth
and Development Office {FCDOI to shape an
education policy for girls globally. Some of
the issues they've focused on include greater
prioritisation of funding for education, breaking
down barriers for refugees to access education
and the need for psychosocial support
for children.
A member of ouryouth Advisory Panel joined
other young activists, aged 15-24, from around
the wodd to co-create a'Girls Pact forthe
Future,. Th8 Pact shares their concerns and
their vision for the future. It lays out clear and
actionable recommendations for policy makers
to achieve genderequality and is being shared
widely with governments and others.
Five youth activists accompanied us to
Glastonbury Festival where we helped launched
the festival's first ever period dignity scheme, by
handing out free period products and speaking
with festival goers about managing periods.
Nyasha, one ofour Youth Advisory Panel
members, joined our board of trustees as
a Youth Delegate. Alongside existing Youth
Delegate, Amelie, they bring a critical youth
voice and perspective to our board.
Lasting change for children and young people
can only be realised if they play a meaningful
role in shaping what impactstheir lives
directly. That's whywe take a youth-centred
approach to our programming. influencing
and organisational governance.
A youth-centred approach is not about children
and young people having to solve the issues that
aff8Ct them. It's about supporting them. listening,
and working in partnership, to recognise and use
their own power and voice.
Last year we recruited 20 new members from
across the UK to join ouryouth Advisory Panel
IYAPI. Theyjoined us at a three-day youth
residential and campaigned to accelerate change
for girls as the General Election approached.
They also helped develop the recommendations
for action for our 2024 State of Girls, Rights in the

and passion are inspiring.

on diversifying our income sources and making
the most of opportunities when they arise.

LOOKING BACK:
STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
2021-2023
across our networks, this was a major
achievement and a crucial step in ensuring
greater safety for girls in the UK.
Giving more opportunity and focus to girls
The annual Intemational Day of the Girl is an
important moment to raise awareness about
the issues facing gids worldwide. Across this
strategy period, we used this day as a flagship
awareness moment. creating opportunities
for girfs to be heard on issues that mattered to
them. At the heart of this was our Girls Takeover
programme where girls stepped into leadership
positions, such as Editor of the Financial Times,
and reached millions of people taking over the
Instagram channels of well-known figures like
Hillary Clinton and Gemma Styles.
The 2021-2023 strategy period has been
hallenging, defined by a stark rise in
humanitarian emergencies againsl a global
cost-of-living crisis. Nonetheless, Plan
International UK has been ableto deliver
change for children and girls.
Here are fourof our hlghllghtsfrom across
the strategy period:
Meeting girls where the need is greatest
We recognised the number of children facing
crisis was rising. Scaling up our humanitarian
impact and influence became key. Notable
achievements included securing funding
from Education Cannot Wait to help more
girls in crisis claim Iheir right to education.
And supporting girls affected by the Ukrain8
conflict through our largest ever humanitarian
programme as part of the Disasters Emergency
Committee (DECI.
Becomlng an antl-raclstand truly
inclusive organisation
Following the murder of George Floyd and
the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020, Plan
International UK recognised that we needed
to work to become an anti-racist organisation.
Being actively anti-racist, and inclusive. is
essential to our ability to d81iver on our core
mission. Teams acrossthe organisation have
responded, from developing a more inclusive
recrLJitment process. to delivering anti-raGism
and allyship training. to embedding anti-racism
communications principles. There is much more
to do and we will continue on thisjourney. This
includes our commitments as part of Pledge
for Change to prioritise developing equitable
partnerships, authentic storytelling and
influencing wider change in the aid system.
A change in UK lawto keep girls safe
Atthe beginning ofthis strategy period, we
launched our Crime Not Compliment campaign.
Together with the grassroots youth organisation
Our Streets Now, we called for protection for
girls from all forms of public sexual harassment
to be enshrined into law. In 2023, this becamea
reality. Driven by young people and supporters
Plan International UK Trustees. Annud Report 2024

LOOKING FORWARD:
OUR 2024-2027
STRATEGY
and delivered with local communities and
partners, which meet both urgent humanitarian
needs and long-term change. And it means bold
campaigns and influencing with girls, voices at
the heart, to challenge the systems and structures
holding them back.
Our new 2024-2027 organisational strategy
has been thoughtfully created to ensure Plan
International UK continuesto have a lasting
impact on the lives of children, with a focus
on girls.
We will continue to:
Focus on achieving equalityforgirls
When we focus on tackling the root causes of
gender inequality to make the world a better
placeto be a girl. we create safer and more just
communities for everyone. W8 will continu8 to
work in partnership across our programmes and
influencing work to effectively tackle the biggest
challenges facing girls, and strengthen our
ability to deliver for girls in all their diversity.
Much has been achieved to date. But the needs
are growing and ever-more urgent. We must be
bold to match the challenges we face and realise
our ambition: all girls standing strong creating
global change.
Ensure ourapproach is youth-centred
This means placing young people at the
heart ofwhat we do to play a meaningful role
in shaping what has adirect impaGt on their
lives. We will continue to create inclusive and
accessible ways for young people to do this,
with a particular emphasis on working with girls
and young women.
For many years we have brought people together
to protect children's rights and help girls
thrive. Our new strategy builds on these strong
foundations. To create real change for girls. To
shift power to those leading it. To support where
We're most n8eded.
Our strategy has three key parts= a continuation
of ourcore focus- the strategic shifts we wish
to make., and the strategic enablers which will help
us to do that.
Respond to the growing climate crisis
The climateemergency is increasing
and deepening humanitarian crises and
exacerbating gender inequalities. It is vital that
we address the impact of climate change in all
that we do, speak out forclimatejustice and
help communities strengthen their resilience
to it. Wewill further build ourresponse tothe
climate crisis, integrating it across all our work
and our operations.
I. DELIVERING OUR CORE FOCUS
Our core focus remains unchanged. We will
continue to bring people together to protect
children's rights and help girls thrive. This means
delivering programmes around the world shaped
Plan International UK Trustees. Annud Report 2024

Across our work, we will continue to focus on
key areas we know are crucial.. improving access
to education, protecting children from violence.
and promoting sexual and reproductive health
and rights.
quickly and efficiently to wher8 we'r8 needed
most and be recognised as a key partner in
times ofcrisis. Ourambition isto becomethe
world's leading international NGO for girls in
humanitarian crises.
And in all that we do, we will continue to strive to
embody our values and our commitment to anti-
racism, diversity and inclusion.
Funding our impact
To meet our ambitionsto deliver change forgirls
and their communities, funding is essential.
Like many charities we are seeing pressures
on fundraising as aid budgels are reduced and
supporters and donors are affected by cost-
of-living challenges. We will ensure we can
raise vital funds for our work as efficiently and
effectively as possible. from the wide range of
partners and supporters who make it possible.
2. PRIORITISING STRATEGIC SHIFTS
Alongside ourcor8focus, we have identified
three areas where we want to deliver a greater
shift in what we do and how we work. We will
prioritise these overthe coming years to ensure
we deliver as much as possiblefor girls and their
communities.
3. MAKING CHANGE POSSIBLE
Shift powerto support locally led change
To drive lasting Change, the communities and
partners we work with must have access to
the power and resources needed to lead on
shaping and delivering solutions, to access
funding and tell their stories. We will prioritlS8
shifting power and resources including through
equitable partnerships, contributing to wider
transformation within the aid system, and
focusing on ethical, authentic and anti-racist
storytelling.
To deliver our core focus and makethese
important strategic shifts, we have identified two
enabling areas of development that will support
usto do this.
Evidencing and learning from our Impact W8
know that our work delivers impact -gathering
evidence is at the heart of our approach. But we
know we can do even better. We will further
improve consistency in the quality of evidence
of our impact, and use this even better to
continually leam and improve. We will also work
so that we can share even more information with
our supporters about the impact of
their donations.
Scale up our humanitarian impact
We already reach millions of children affected
by humanitarian Grises, but the needs are
rising- and girls faGe particular challenges.
We must increase our ability to respond
Plan International UK Trustees. Annud Report 2024

Being an effective and responsive
organisation
To be an effective and responsive organisation
in our ever-changing world, we must continually
learn and adapt. Our priority will be ensuring we
remain agile, innovative and accountable. To
do this we will foster a culture of innovation and
manage our resources and our people well to
maximise impact. We'll also focus on leveraging
the opportunities thattechnology and data
haveto offer when it comesto improving ways
of working and key relationships.
We will work with the new UK Government and
Parliament to advocate for girls, rights around
the worfd, and influence new government
strategies as they are developed. We will also
launch our'state of UK Girls, Rights 2024,
report, and support young people to advocate
for change on issues affecting them.
We will embed a new Institutional Fundraising
Strategy, and a new Fundraising and
Engagement Strategy. These will guide how
we engage new and existing supporters and
partners, so that people feel closerto ourwork
and can fund the change girls need. W8 will
grow awareness of our Cause with a bold new
'¢hallenger brand. mentality, and do even more
to share the impact that supporters can have
through partnering with us.
Our strategy in action
So, what does our new strategy in action look
like in the coming year? Here arejust some ofthe
activities planned:
We will continue to become ever more agile
and responsive so we can best meet the
needs of children and theircommunities
when humanitarian crisis strikes. We will work
with communities to build their resilience to
crises. And we will continue responding to
ongoing crises such as in Sudan and Gaza and
their regions.
We will continue to implement existing and new
programmes to a high quality. including our
sponsorship programme. We will further deliver
on our commitment to genderequality and
inclusion across our work.
Building on learning to date, wewill support
localisation by acting on opportunitiesto move
ownership of decision making and resources
closer to where our programmes are delivered
both within Plan Intemational and to local and
national partners.

Income from our major partners (corporates,

Total income in the year ended 30 June 2024 was
£66.9m, a £7.7m decrease from the prioryear. While
income from donalions increased by £1.6m year-on-

and income from trading actimties also fell.
Trading income has declined £0.8m in the year

Other incom8 includes increased interest on

Donations have increased £1.7m, from £35.3m
to £36.gm. This is primarily due to increased
income from the Disasters Emergency Committee

humanitarian response to the Ukraine conflict. In

in response to challenging economic conditions,
we scaled back our acquisition activities, which
has impacted income. However, it has allowed us
to retain funds to invest in growing our supporter
base to raise more vital funding in the coming
years. Legacy income has declined from £1.Sm
to £0.8m, comparableto FY22, and after an
exceptionally high year in 2022123. The donation

STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS
The increase in our gender pay gap in 2023 is
accounted for by small changes which can have
a significant impact on the distribution of men and
women across the pay quartiles. dueto the size of
our organisation.
The number of staff employed by Plan
International UK changed from 178 full-time and
23 part-time at the start of the financial year to 176
full-time and 25 part-time employees at the end.
The ratio of the gross salary of the lowest paid
staff member léxcluding interns and apprentices)
to that of the highest paid is 1=5.1.
Our median gender pay gap remains significantly
below current national levels,. 6.9% lowerthan
the national average. as reported by the Office
of National Statistics. of 14.30h (November 2023).
The ratio of the gross median salary (excluding
interns and apprentices) to that of the highest paid
is 1:2.9.
Ethnicity Pay Gap
As at 5 April 2024 Plan Intemational UK'S median
ethnicity pay gap was 14.3¥0 {compared to 0.20
in April 2023) and the mean pay gap was 15.3%
(compared to 11.3Yo in 2023}. When compared
against the latest available data from the Office
of National Statistics120191, our median ethnicity
pay gap is 12% higher than the national av8rag8
of 2.3%.
We also greatly benefitted from the support of
12 volunteers, who assisted us throughoutthe
year. The dedication of our volunteers has helped
us to support our sponsorship programme and
fundraising activities. Th8 Board of Trustees of
Plan International UK would like lo thank all staff,
volunteers and ouryouth Advisory Panel fortheir
commitment to the charity and their efforts over
the year.
These significant changes. particularly in our
median Ethnicity Pay Gap is due to a change
in the distribution of those from minority
ethnic backgrounds across the pay quarti18S.
Specifically there has been a decrease in those
from minority ethnic backgrounds in the highest
two pay quartiles and an increase in the numbers
of staff from minority ethnic backgrounds in the
two lower pay quartiles.

gender pay gap was 7.4¥0 (compared to 5.6% in
April 20231 and the mean gender pay gap was
7.5% (compared to 10% in 20231.
Whilst women make up nearly 213rds of staff in
the highest paid quartile, they accountfor over
80% of lower paid staff so remain proportionately
under-represented at senior grades.
Due to the size of our organisation and the
relatively small numbers of people from ethnic
minority backgrounds in our workforce, even very
slight changes to these distributions can result in
a positive or negative impact upon our ethnicity
pay gap.

USA}, and their subsidiaries. Both the National
Organisations and Plan International Inc have
subsidiari8S.
Public benefit
The charity's trustees have set out strategic plans
and monitor against these plans to ensure that
Plan International UK achieves its objectives
and provides public benefit- as set out in our
goveming document. These objectives include
the prevention or relief of poverty, advancing
education and advancing children's health, which
fall under the purposes defined by the Charities
Act 2011. The trustees have referred to Charity
Commission g8n8ral guidance on public b8nefit
when reviewing plans and activities.

through the Country Offices of Plan International
Inc. Four of the National Organisations- Brazil.
Columbia, India, Indonesia- serve as locally
governed Plan International Country Offices to
deliver programmes, whilst sourcing a substantial
portion of their income nationally.

Remittances for work in Plan International
Country Offices are made only once funds are

low liquidity risks for Plan International UK.
We also partner with, and make grants to, other
charities. These charities are selected based on
their governance, values and their capability to
enhance impact for children around the world.
Performance is monitored closely to ensure
grants are spent appropriately. in line with our
charitable objectives.
Our reserves policy requires us to hold sufficient
funds to deal with financial shocks not anticipated

investments in subsidiaries referred to below, and
no bonds or other tradable securities.
GOING CONCERN
To support the going ¢on¢ern assessment,
income and expenditure forecasts to 2030 have
been prepared. We have modelled a range of
plausible market, performance. and investment
scenarios. Cost, investment and incom8 plans
have been brought into line for our central
projections and, in all cases, we are confident that
actions could be taken to ensure our continued
financial viability. High reserve levels provide
an opportunity to invest in income growth, as
well as providing enhanced financial resiliency
and the ability to protect programme funding
if market conditions prove more Challenging
than anticipated.
Mosl receivables relate to contracts with
established institutional donors and the risk
of defautt is considered very low. Most suppliers
are paid in arrears and all substantial suppliers
undergo due diligence before contracts
are agreed.
Foreign currency risks on funding awards

of comprehensive standards and a strong
safeguarding culture and leadership.
This year our global safeguarding standards have
been reviewed. This now means that preventing
sexual harassment, exploitation and abuse is
firmly embedded in our standards. A key focus
over the last year has been on improving practices
around safer programming, including the
development of a safer programming tool. which
is due to be launched globally overlhe next year.
The increase In emissions from business travel
this year reflects business travel resuming
to pre-covid 19 levels. Over the last year our
carbon emissions associated with purchased
electricity have reduced as a result of purchasing
our electricity from 1 OOYO renewable sources.
In selecting our new office premises, one of
our priorilies will be to ensure we are taking the
opportunity to reduce our carbon emissions.

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 Ihe 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
group'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.
In our opinion, the financial statements-
give a true and fairview ofthe state ofthe
group's and of the parent charitable company's
affairs as at 30 June 2024 and of the group's
and parent charitable company's net movement
in funds, including the income and expenditure.
for the yearthen ended.,
have been properly prepared in accordance
with United Kingdom Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice; and
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of
the trustees with respect to going concern are
described in the relevant sections of this report.

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 is
detailed below:
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees
are responsible for assessing the group's and Ihe
parent charitable company's ability to continue
as a going concern, disclosing. as applicable,
matters related to going concem and using
the going concern basis ofaccounting unless
the trustees either intend to liquidate the group
or the parent charitable company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but
to do so.
Based on our understanding ofthe group and the
environment in which it operates, we identified
that the principal risks of non-compliance with
laws and regulations related to company and
charity law in England and Wa18s and complianc8
with regulations relaling to the safeguarding
of beneficiaries. We Considered the extent to
which non-compliance might have a material
effect on the financial statements. We also
considered those laws and regulations that have
a direct impact on the preparation of the financial
statements such as the CompaniesAct 2006 and
the Charities Act 2011, as well as compliance with
the taxation environment.
Auditor's responsibilitiesforthe audit of the
flnancial 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 ouropinion. 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 orerror and are considered
malerial 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.
We evaluated management's incentives and
opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of
the financial statements (including the risk
of override of controls), and determined that
the principal risks were related to Posting
inappropriate journal entries to manipulate
revenue recognition and management bias
in areas of accounting estimate.
Audit procedures performed by the engagement
team included:
Inspecting correspondence with regulators and
tax authorities.,
Plan International UK Trustees. Annud Report 2024

Discussions with management including
consideration of known or suspected instanGes
of non-compliance with laws and regulation
and fraud.
Review of minutes of meetings.
Evaluating management's controls designed
to prevent and detect irregularities..
Identifying and testing journals, using data
analytics to focus testing on higher risk entries-
and
Challenging assumptions and judgements

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable
company's members, as a body, in acGordanGe
with Chapter 3 of Part 16 ofthe Companies Act
2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so
that we might state to the charitable company's
members those matters we are required to stat8
to Ihem in an Auditor's report and for no other
purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
we do not accept orassume responsibilityto
anyone otherthan the charitable company and the
charitable company's members as a body, forour
audit work, forthis report. orforthe opinions we
have fonned.
Because of the inherent limitations of an
audit, there is a risk that we will not detect
all irregularities, including those leading to a
material misstatement in the financial statements
or non-compliance with regulation. This risk
increases the more that compliance with a law
or regulation is removed from the events and
transactions reflected in the financial statements.
as we will be less likely to become awareof
instances of non-compliance. The risk is also
greater regarding irr8gularitl8s occurring due
to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves
intentional concealment, forgery, collusion.

(k) Provisions for liabilities
Provisions for future liabilities are recognised when Plan

obligation as a result of a past event for which it is
probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be
required to settle the obligation, and where the amount
can be reliably estimated.
fair value of the consideration paid and payable plus the
costs directly attnbutable to the business cornbinatitsn.
Where the consideration paid and payable exceeds
the value of the net assets acquired, goodwill arises on
acquisition and is disclosed in the consolidated balance
sheet. 'Goodwill' is an intangible fixed asset which is
amortised over its useful life. Goodwill is reviewed for
impaimient at each balance-sheet dats.
(11 Forelgn currencles
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at
the monthly book rale at the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities are retranslated at the
rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. All exchange
differences are taken to the SOFA.
In accordanc8with FFIS 102, intangible assets acquired
as part ol an acquisition are only recognised separately
from goodwill where it is probable that the expected
future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset
will flow to the entity.. and the cost or value of the asset
an be measured reliably.
Im) Company status
The Charity is a public bènefit entity and a company
limited by guarantee. The members of the Company are
the trustees named on p 42. In the event of the Charity
being wound up, the liabilily in respect of lh8 guarantee is
limited to £10 per Iwstèe.
(pl Critical accounting judgements and key
sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the group's accounting policies, the
Iruslees are required to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
These judgements, estimates and assumptions are made
based on a combination of past experience. prolossional
expert advice and other relevant evidence.
In) Taxation status
Plan International UK is a registered charity within the
definition of Section 202 of the Corporation Tax Act
2010 and is thus exempt from taxation on its charitable
activrties. Thetrading subsidiaries of Plan International
UK, Foster Parents Plan Inlemational UK Ltd and
SDDirect each make a charitable donation leaving no
UK corporation tax payable. These donations are made
under deeds ol covenant and are therefo￿ accrued in full
at year-end.
The trustees conslderthat there are no key sources of
estimation uncertainty as at 30 June 2023. however
the following critical accountingjudgements have been
identilied below=
Revenue recognition
Due to the range and complexity ofthe group's funding
streams. revenue recognition is deemed to be an area
that requires judgement to appropriately apply the
incorne accounting policies explained in accounting
policy 1d.
Irrecoverable VAT is not separately analysed and is
charged to the SOFA when the expenditure to which il
relates is incurred or invoiced and is allocated as part of
the expenditure to which it relates.
(o) Business cornbinatTons
Business combinations are accounted for as an
acquisition. The cost of a business combination isthe

as to what are the most appropriale bases to use to

apportion support costs- these are reviewed annually
for reasonableness. Support costs are allocated as
explained in policy 1d.
Sponsorship
Child sponsorship is judged to be unrestricted income
and not restricted to a particular cause because it is
whollyaligned with the charity's objects. Sponsors have
a one-to-one connection with the child they sponsor and
donations are used to fund vital projects, benefrting whole
communities in the country wherethe sponsored child
lives and therefore it is reasonable to assess the incom8
as unrestricted.
Locally received in¢ome
Locally received income is income where the contract
signatories are the donor and the relevant Plan
International country office. However, the de facto fund
manager is Plan International UK. who provides support
and oversight to the country office. The incom8 arising
Irom such awards is thus recognised by Plan International
UK. Income from charitable activities is detailed in
accounting policy 1d.
