The Trustees of Futures for Women **(‘the Charity** ’) present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020. The annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees’ report and a directors’ report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company’s governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (updated 1 January 2019). The annual report has also been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
## **Objects and Activities**
The principal activity of Futures for Women is to fund the training of women for employment and to help them achieve financial independence.
The Charity manages a capital fund that generates interest, and it also raises money from membership fees, donations, legacies and fund-raising events.
As set out in the Articles of Association the charitable objects of the Charity are:
- the training of girls and women for business and other careers and suitable occupations;
- the providing of technical and other instruction as a means to the above;
- the giving to such persons who are unable to meet the cost of training such assistance during
- the period of training by way of a grant, loan or otherwise.
In 2020 the Charity’s main objective was the part-funding of skills and confidence building workshops for disadvantaged women to prepare them for employment and to help them achieve financial independence. It no longer provides training or instruction.
## **Public Benefit of Futures for Women**
The Trustees are aware of the need under charity law to demonstrate the public benefit of Future for Women’s charitable purpose of supporting disadvantaged women in the UK into employment, to help them achieve financial independence. The Trustees follow the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
For many years Futures for Women’s main charitable activity has been to provide interest-free loans, usually of £1000 each, to individual women graduates to assist them with professional or vocational training for a wide range of careers. It is clear from the reports the Charity has received from many loan beneficiaries over the years that its funding support has been instrumental in helping these women to achieve their career goals.
In 2018 the Trustees commissioned social research from its strategy consultants Action Planning into the position of women in the UK workplace. This research paper reported that women continue to have challenges from a young age and at all parts of their employment journey. Women still only make up 35% of ‘Division 1’ employees - managers, directors and senior officials, and the proportion of females at company board level is as low as 23%. Challenges such as the availability and costs of child care, caring responsibilities and an inability to access flexible or part time working exist for all women irrespective of age. Further groups of women are more acutely disadvantaged due to other factors such as race, domestic abuse, economic background and age. Existing barriers to women achieving senior positions include negative perceptions and unconscious bias about women’s potential, poor stereotypes and an absence of role models and mentors.
3
Following this strategic review the Trustees agreed to develop a new focus on other ways of supporting women into the workplace. In March 2019 the Trustees of Futures for Women’s announced that for 2019/2020 we would be working in partnership with the Sharan Project (registered charity 1149094) whose charitable purpose is to help vulnerable women, particularly members of the South Asian community living in Britain, who have suffered from forced marriage, domestic violence or honour abuse. During 2019 and 2020 Futures for Women awarded a grant of £29,000 to part-fund a Sharan Project programme which sought to create realistic employment opportunities for three groups of women, based in Birmingham.
The Trustees recognise that funding a specific project to help disadvantaged women into employment is a major departure from awarding interest-free loans which are repaid to the Charity, and that this may result in the erosion of some of the Charity’s capital. However, they believe that this new projectbased approach will be of considerable public benefit in supporting disadvantaged women from a wider sector of society to progress to worthwhile careers which will give them some degree of financial independence.
Futures for Women also aims to act as a voice to encourage the professional participation of women in society. Its website is visited by many and describes the history and significance of the Charity. It also contains testimonials from beneficiaries as to the importance to them of their loans in fulfilling their career ambitions.
## **Achievements and Performance 2020**
2020 was a year like no other, for all of us. As the Futures for Women Secretary is based at her home office on a permanent basis the day-to-day running of our charity was unaffected by the pandemic and our Trustee meetings were able to continue via Zoom, thanks to the hosting by Trustee Quintilla Wikeley.
During the year we welcomed three new members to the Board – Quintilla herself, who has been a long-time supporter, as well as Harriet Anderson and Victoria Lee. Harriet has a family connection to our charity, while Victoria is an ex-beneficiary. All three women bring new skills to our Board and a fresh approach to our work, and we are all looking forward to meeting each other in person at last at our 2021 AGM.
But the employability workshops for disadvantaged women from the south Asian community in south Birmingham, which we were supporting via a grant to the Sharan Project, were unable to take place due to lockdown and social distancing rules which were in force for the majority of the year. Lockdown had a disproportionate effect on vulnerable women and the Sharan Project found that calls to their helpline for women suffering from domestic abuse increased by 50% in the first 3 weeks. The project ran online safety campaigns and made its helpline available out of working hours. They also raised their media profile to increase awareness of harmful practices. The Sharan Project are now planning a 4-week employability course to support disadvantaged women into the construction industry, part-funded by Futures for Women, to take place in 2021. Contact has been maintained with the 2019 cohort of women who attended the two workshops in Birmingham and of the 16 women who completed the courses 5 have now found employment, 2 are in self-employment and 4 are undertaking further study.
Although Futures for Women awarded no interest-free loans in 2020 we continued to receive repayments for outstanding loans. We were also pleased to hear from several ex-beneficiaries about their career journey since graduation and all of them expressed their gratitude to Futures for Women for helping them to complete their studies.
The Trustees continued their review of our strategy which they believe will also attract new funding to the Charity, and they researched potential funding streams in 2020. The Charity’s funds were bolstered by the receipt of two unexpected legacies, one of £58,967 and another of £1000 paid by anonymous donors into our CAF account during the year, and we are very grateful to these donors for the significant support they have given to Futures for Women’s work. These donations have been designated as constituting a new fund of the Charity to be known as the Boucherett Fund, to support women undertaking vocational training.
4
The Trustees considered how to use these donations to further our work and decided to return to our roots and support disadvantaged women wanting to undertake a course of further education at Grimsby Institute, which is located in north Lincolnshire, the county of birth of our founder, Jessie Boucherett. It was also decided that the support would take the form of 20 grants of £500, rather than an interest-free loan. Contact was made with the bursary department of the Institute who will support women in making applications before these are forwarded to Futures for Women for a final decision. The successful beneficiaries will be asked to send us a report once they are in paid employment. These grants will be awarded and processed in 2021.
Trustees also agreed to re-open the interest-free loan programme in 2021, a decision taken in part due to the positive feedback received from existing beneficiaries. These loans will be available to women seeking to pursue a course of higher education or professional training,
As part of our desire to maintain diversity within the confines of our Articles of Association which state that we are only able to support women, the Trustees considered the issue of gender and are working on formulating a formal policy. Our application forms and website have been amended to confirm that Futures for Women accepts applications for anyone who identifies as female, who fluctuates between genders or identifies with both genders.
Two of our Patrons retired during the year due to pressure of work and Trustees are working to secure some new Patrons. Lady Hawley remains our sole Patron. We also invited Dr Andrea Dexter to join our Board meetings as an observer and she has provided us with welcome advice based on her experience of working as a Lincolnshire GP.
Following advice from our investment managers, Charles Stanley, the Trustees agreed to change our investments from an income based fund to a balanced fund. The Trustees decided to invest £35,000 of the main anonymous legacy in our COIF account with the remaining funds being held as cash in our CAF account.
In May 2020 we were contacted by Michael Neureiter, a Postdoctoral Researcher in the School of Business at the University of Pittsburgh, in the United States. He was working on a research project that examined the ways in which women’s activists and organisations could help increase women’s presence in corporate leadership. As part of this research project he requested an interview with Futures for Women. Both his qualitative interviews and his quantitative analyses suggest that women’s organisations are largely successful at achieving their goals, and make a positive difference in the lives of many women.
## **Planned Objectives 2020-2021**
- to work with The Sharan Project as a charity partner to run one final employability workshop to support disadvantaged women into working in the construction industry
- to work with Grimsby Institute to award grants of £500 to 20 disadvantaged women wanting to undertake a course of further education
- to support other women’s charities with similar objectives, through grants or governance training, subject to available resources
- to offer interest-free loans to women seeking to undertake a course of higher education or professional training
- to seek funding for our new direction
- to expand the supporter programme
- • to recruit new Trustees and confirm a Patron
## **Financial Review**
The Charity’s gross income for the year was £66,288 (2019: £5,771) which included a legacy of £59,000. The total expenditure for the year was £32,802 (2019: £25,092) which is mainly in relation to grants payable, secretarial fees and investment management fees.
5
Following a small gain on the value of investments, the Charity has made a surplus overall for the year of £36,505 (2019: deficit of £2,528).
## **Going concern**
After making appropriate enquiries, the Board have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. However, the Covid-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the global economy. The Board have considered the impact of this issue on the Charity’s current and future financial position.
## **Reserves Policy**
The policy of the Board is to try to ensure that the total of capital is kept at an amount that will produce sufficient income to cover the charity’s overheads and the annual loans or grants. The Board regularly reviews the risks associated with income and expenditure. This enables an estimate to be made of the level of reserves to allow time for reorganisation in the event of a downturn in income and to protect future beneficiaries.
The Charity held unrestricted reserves at 31 December 2020 of £236,472 (2019: £199,967) of which there were free reserves (being general funds excluding fixed assets and designated funds) of £30,590 (2019: £25,393).
## **Risk Assessment**
The Board of Trustees regularly consider the major strategic, business and operational risks that the Charity faces, assess the key risks which may impact on the charity’s activities, and maintain a risk register. The Trustees ensure systems and procedures exist to minimise these risks.
The Secretary communicates with beneficiaries at least twice a year, to encourage their loan repayments to commence as soon as possible.
The Trustees also assessed the risks associated with fundraising, including reputational risks.
## **Investment Policy and Performance**
The stockbrokers Charles Stanley invest the Charity’s funds in medium low risk investments, to endeavour to protect the capital from market turbulence while growing it moderately and providing an income for the charity.
Charles Stanley reported that in 2020 our investment portfolio produced a total return of 1.29% for the year. This compares against the MSCI PIMFA private investment income return of 1.94%. The total costs reported were £3,597 with 2.64% cumulative effect of costs and charges on return of the portfolio over the year.
## **Structure, Management & Governance**
The Charity is a registered charity (number 313700) and a registered company limited by guarantee (number 13103) incorporated in England.
Its governing document is the Articles of Association as revised and adopted by a special resolution of the members in February 2011. The Charity’s activities are managed by a Board of Trustees who are both the trustees and the directors of this charitable company. The Trustees report at the AGM to the members of the Charity who support its work and pay an annual subscription.

## **Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees and other Officers**
The Board of Trustees consists of not more than twelve individuals who are elected by the membership each year at the AGM. The Trustees have a diverse range of professional qualifications and skills together with experience and knowledge in the field of women’s education, professional training and development.
In recruiting Trustees, the Board seeks persons who are sympathetic to the aims of the Charity and who can bring particular skills to its work. Trustees are recruited through adverts on social media or personal contact and by recommendation from amongst past beneficiaries, the membership and other interested supporters. Potential trustees are invited to attend a Board meeting and receive the papers relevant to that meeting together with the annual accounts and reports of the previous two years. After submission of a CV the Trustees consider the candidate and if appropriate then propose the recruitment of the new Trustee at the next AGM.
The Chair welcomes new Trustees by a letter of appointment and appoints a mentor to support them for a year. They also receive copies of the list of Trustees, minutes of the last meeting, the Articles of Association (the governing document), and a copy of _The Essential Trustee_ published by the Charity Commission. New Trustees may obtain the Charity’s policies from the Secretary.
## **AGM 2020**
Our AGM planned for June 2020 in London was postponed due to the pandemic and re-scheduled to take place in September at the home of our Vice-Chair, Joanna Murray, in Burghclere, Hampshire. Thanks go to Joanna and her husband for hosting the meeting. Zoom was available for Trustees and members who were unable to attend in person. Prior to the AGM we heard from Polly Harrar of the Sharan Project via Zoom on the difficulties they had faced in organising the employability workshops part-funded by Futures for Women, due to meeting restrictions. Polly also updated us on how the Sharan Project had reacted to the increase in calls from women at risk of domestic abuse and supported them through the difficult period of lockdown.
During the AGM Trustee Amy McVittie resigned following 7 years’ service and we formally elected our 3 new Trustees. It was also announced that our accountant for 3 years, Peter Tacon, had unexpectedly passed away in July and condolences were passed to his widow, Lesley. Both Peter and Lesley had attended our 2019 AGM.
Unfortunately our President, Lady Appleyard, was unable to attend our AGM due to a clash in dates with another charity event. Our Chair, Vice Chair and Secretary were invited to lunch with the President a few weeks after the AGM for an update meeting which was very positive.
## **Administration of the Charity**
The Charity employs our Secretary Jane Hampson to carry out all aspects of its administration. She manages the prompt repayment of loans and all accounting and investment matters. The Secretary has received training on Sage accounting, which means she can carry out more work in house, and so reduce accountancy expenditure.
During 2020 the Trustees met via Zoom in March, June, September and November to discuss the business of the charity and formulate a new strategy. A new London location is yet to be confirmed for when physical meetings are able to take place once again.

## **Constituent Charity**
On 10 October 2011 the Charity Commission made a uniting direction ruling that the Celtic Help Fund, previously a separate registered charity (no. 313416), was a constituent charity of Futures for Women. On 11 August 2017 the Charity Commission gave its consent for the Celtic Help Fund to be dissolved and for its funds to be transferred to the general fund of Futures for Women.
## **Statement of Responsibilities of the Trustees**
The Trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure, of the charity for the year. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice 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 operation.
We have fulfilled our responsibilities as Trustees under the Charities Act 2011 for preparing financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom accounting standards. All the transactions undertaken by the charity have been properly reflected and recorded in the accounting records. The financial statements are free of material mis-statements including omissions. We have not had any correspondence with the Charity Commission from 1 January 2019 through to date.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees 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.
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 31 December 2020 was 22. The Trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.
Approved by the Trustees on 25 September 2021 and signed on their behalf by:

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Futures for Women (‘the Company’)**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st December 2020 which are set out on pages 10-19.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
- 1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
- 2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 3) the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
- 4) the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102).
