Global Footsteps Trustees’ annual report for the year ended 30 April 2024
## **Global Footsteps Trustees’ Report 2023/2024**
## **Introduction**
This year the charity successfully continued to progress with our major project “Farming for the Future” in conjunction with our partners the Aniga Women’s Community Based Organisation in Kisumu, Kenya. We also worked locally to heighten awareness of environmental and climate justice issues
We have progressed with the objectives outlined in our strategic plan and overall, we have kept the charity on a sound basis and are optimistic for the future challenges.
## **Aims and Objectives**
The trustees recognise the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit in reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives. Global Footsteps aims to deliver ‘public benefit’ in its activities and pursue the elements of sustainability. This is demonstrated by the “Farming
for the Future” project in Kenya and our previous support for plastic free shopping with Foodloose, and fair trade.
The Charity was set up in 1985 as The Rendezvous Society, an educational facility, with young people as its target group. Its aims were to help local communities to engage with people of other cultures to promote mutual understanding between them. This was achieved by a series of cultural exchanges mainly between young people (18-25-year-olds) travelling to and from the ‘host’ countries. These exchanges played a key part in the foundation of the charity. The objectives of the Charity, as stated in its Memorandum and Articles of Association are: “The objects of the Company are the advancement of public education, awareness and understanding of sustainability, as it relates to the environment, ecologies, populations, cultures, economies, technologies and natural resources of the world in particular but not exclusively by the provision of a centre, open to all, where information about environmental issues is disseminated and environmentally friendly products are made available and by promoting and supporting research and projects for the public benefit in all aspects of sustainability”.
The objectives include concerns such as climate change, use of plastics, destruction of forests, loss of crop producing land, health and wellness issues, and loss of species of plants and animals. The objectives are aligned with the concept of sustainability and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals which are aimed at promoting wellbeing while protecting the planet.
As well as sustainability, connecting with and sharing knowledge with people of different cultures has always been part of our aims and objectives. We have evolved so that rather than travelling, and having a physical base in Cheltenham, we can make connections, share information and enable education using 21st Century technology.

## **Activities, achievement and performance in 2023 – 2024**
The charity has met its objectives this year in the following ways:
## **a. Aniga Farming Project**
The Farming for the Future project is the main focus of the charity. The Aniga Women started the project in January 2024, and made great progress throughout the financial year. The end of year report by the Aniga Women stated:
_The project has achieved commendable progress in fulfilling its mission, exemplifying a holistic commitment to the health and prosperity of the communities it serves. The focus for the future is on maintaining positive momentum, expanding market reach, and solidifying the project's impact on nutrition, agriculture, and economic well-being._
Achievements during the year included the following:
- An initial 300 farmers registered for the project and various trainings took place.
- The demonstration site grew 6 varieties of sweet potatoes for comparisons
- 10 decentralised vine multiplication sites were set up, as well as the one on the demonstration farm
- Community Nutrition Groups were set up and workshops were delivered
- Vines were harvested four times during the year, and distributed to the farmers
- Farmers received continuous support from Field Officers making regular visits
- Most of the crops were used by the families harvesting them, but harvests from the demonstration site were used for taste trials and marketing opportunities
Drought was a challenge in that it came just as the second batch of vines were distributed, when they were particularly vulnerable. However, overall the harvests were reasonable and engagement good.The next step is developing value added products and a marketing cooperative for surplus crops.
We continue to be in regular touch with Benter Ndeda, the co-ordinator, who sends reports, photos and evidence of expenditure. We are confident that the project is in good hands and that the resilience and vision of the Aniga Women will help them to overcome any obstacles.
Fundraising has continued, and with the help of Holly Griffin, our enthusiastic intern, we applied to a number of relevant charitable trusts for grants, without much success. However, donations from individuals have allowed us to support the project, sending money in accordance with the project budget, following receipt of progress reports.
## **b. Collaborative Working**
As an example of our local and international networking, we enabled two members of the farming project to take part in a permaculture course not far from Kisumu. We have kept in touch with previous partners Cadif Kenya, who now run permaculture courses. Knowing this may be of relevance to the Aniga Women, we secured funding from permaculture practitioners local to Cheltenham, for two places on a course in August 2023. Some of their learning is now being incorporated into the Farming for the Future project.

Our partnership with the University of Gloucestershire yielded one of our most successful internships ever, this year, with Holly Griffin, a 3rd year International Relations student working with us in a variety of ways over a period of several months at the end of 2023. As well as helping us, she appreciated the learning and experience she gained from the placement.
Locally, we have had meetings with Vision 21 to explore joint working. Knowing that there are a number of organisations working on climate and sustainability in the Cheltenham area, we have taken a back seat in this local work, realising that our distinctive skills and vision is the global dimension, focusing on climate justice.
However we did take part in a week-long public education session during COP 28 in November, with the help of Holly, giving out leaflets in the town centre and chatting to passers-by and local radio about climate justice.
St Andrews continue to be good supporters, and we were invited to give a zoom presentation to members of the congregation in September 2023.
## **c. Use of the building**
The Portland Street building, which is our key fixed asset, continued to be a concern because of maintenance issues and the fact that it is not disability friendly. Another factor to consider is that the charity does not really need an office base. Covid reinforced that last point. Foodloose Community Benefit Society moved out as tenants in the last financial year so we did not have the benefit of their contribution to our expenses, especially maintenance of the building.
We have been able to hire out the building to a variety of users and that produced an income but not sufficient to meet expenditure on the building. With that in mind we did actively look at the prospects for a sale of the building or a longer term tenant. However the market for sale of commercial property is not favourable, the valuation obtained did not meet expectations and was lower than the designated book value. We had also considered selling to like- minded suitable charities with a collaboration in some form. However none of these produced a satisfactory way forward without losing the independence of the charity. However towards the end of the year we had a possibility of a longer term tenancy solution with ACELBA, run by Angele Baku-Attipoe, a new company specialising in African food and offering a cafe and outside catering. The business is supported by a loan from SWIG Finance , a social enterprise that provides loans and support to small businesses in the South West.A lease agreement for use of the building apart from the top floor was signed in the middle of April 2024 and the results of that will be seen in the next financial year. Some external remedial work was carried out to the building to ensure that it is in good lettable condition.
## **d. Social Media and website**
Our intern Holly spent some time designing and posting on Instagram, including both local news and information about the Aniga Women and their work. We continue to share news on facebook. Realising that our website had become unwieldy and difficult to update, and that we needed something clearer for potential
4
Doc ID: ded867bf42300b1901da19ddea71b07f1499efb9
funders, we decided on an overhaul and to create something simpler. This process was started with Holly, and is still ongoing.
## **How Global Footsteps delivers Public Benefit?**
The trustees have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on delivering ‘public benefit’ and are aware of its recommendations.
We continue to provide guidance on aspects of sustainability and education on climate justice, as an integral part of our ongoing work as detailed above..
The Charity continues to provide volunteering opportunities that includes involvement with our Kenyan projects and the work of Global Footsteps in general. We continue to have support
from the University of Gloucestershire with our Kenyan project where several students have
already been involved. This use of volunteers is regularly reviewed by the trustees, to ensure that we meet legal requirements for health and safety, insurance liability and supervision.
During the year the Charity has provided an affordable base for other local community groups and rooms have been hired, which has produced income for Global Footsteps.
## **Finances**
We receive regular monthly donations from one source through the Charities Aid Foundation totalling £9,000 in this financial year, as well as other smaller donations. We also received a generous donation of £8,000 from Dulcie Herrington towards the Aniga Project. Registration with “Give as You Live”, automatically passes a donation to Global Footsteps if you buy goods from certain shops. We are also registered with the Cheltenham Lottery. Alison and Holly Griffin, a University of Gloucestershire student, have also been working on grant applications
The Statement of Financial Activities shows a small deficit for the year of £(2,457)
Global Footsteps income was £19,917, and after donations to the Aniga project of £10,000 and further expenses incurred in running the charity, showed a net deficit of £(2,457).
The trustees have reviewed the charity's requirements for reserves in line with spending levels and Charity Commission guidelines and are satisfied with that they are sufficient to meet the
requirements of current and planned activities. The amount in unrestricted reserves as at 30
April 2024 was £ 275,606 of which £ 224,480 are held in the fixed assets designated fund and £ 51,126 were held for general purposes.
## **Structure, Governance & Management**
The Constitution of the Charity is a Company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales as number 1973089, and incorporated on 19 December 1985.
Each member undertakes to pay an amount not exceeding £1.00 towards liabilities in the event of the Charity being dissolved.

Doc ID: ded867bf42300b1901da19ddea71b07f1499efb9
The policy (as stated in the Articles of Association) and the general management of the Charity are directed by the trustees.
The Charity’s constitution allows for a board of roughly equal numbers of male and female trustees. We also recognise the desire to encourage diversity in our recruitment of trustees. In the past, appointments have been made for a period of 3 years, with an extension for a further year. Appointments may sometimes be extended indefinitely, in order for the ‘institutional memory’ of the Board of Trustees to be maintained. The Charity always seeks to recruit new trustees periodically and to allow existing ones to retire, in ensure that it remains fresh and vibrant. We currently have opportunities for additional trustees with governance, secretarial and human resources experience.
Trustees are recruited with a view to diversity, sound experience in a related field or professional expertise in a relevant area. Such candidates are given an outline of the work of the Charity, interviewed by the trustees and invited to a trustees’ meeting. Appointment is then conditional on the approval of the trustees. New trustees are asked to commit to a period of 3 years as a trustee.
As regards governance, the Charity has policies and procedures recommended by the Charity Commission, including Procedures for Health & Safety, Safeguarding, Risk Management, Data Protection and GDPR, Complaints, Conflict of Interest, Diversity & Equal Opportunity, Risk Assessment. These are reviewed and updated annually and as required.
## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The trustees (who are directors of Global Footsteps for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Trustees’ Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law of the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law 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 charitable company and the incoming resources and their application, including the income and expenditure of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- 1) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
- 2) Observe the methods and principles of the Charities’ Statements of Recommended Practice (SORP).
- 3) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
- 4) State whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
- 5) Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to assume that the Charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements

Global Footsteps
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 April 2024

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £ sterling.
## b Judgments and estimates
The trustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts.
The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
- c Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
## d Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Global Footsteps
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 April 2024 (continued)
## e Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
## f Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
## g Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
- h Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
- i Operating leases
Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

## j Fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

## k Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## l Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## m Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## n Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
