**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **A Message from the Chair** 

It has been an unprecedented year, dogged by the Covid-19 pandemic and resulting social and economic crises. We have recognised the structural schisms and inequalities laid bare by the pandemic throughout the world and at home, and that the challenges of the year have affected our own resilience, as well as that of our partners and other colleagues in the women’s rights sector. We have all needed to intensify our focus on health, including mental health and wellbeing and to muster our feminist solidarity to support each other through a very difficult time. Never more so than now, as in addition to existing crises we apprehend the fear and violence borne by our sister women’s rights activists in Afghanistan in recent weeks, and initiate support as best we can. And indeed, as we reflect upon and fight against the grievous cuts to spending made by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) at this critical time. Cuts that will severely hamper the rights and wellbeing of vulnerable women and girls throughout the world. 

Nevertheless, as you will glean from this report, Womankind is resilient and has remained in good shape to face the unpredictability and undoubted challenges brought by the Covid-19 crisis. We have worked flexibly and adapted our support to meet the changing needs of our partners. We established a Resilience Fund from which we were able to share core, flexible resources with our partners rapidly, at a time of great stress for their organisations and the communities which they serve. We remain indebted to Lorraine Hendy for the legacy gift she made in 2019, enabling this critical intervention. Further, we have learned a lot about managing flexible funds as a result, which will be woven into our new strategy 2021-2030. This was the fifth and final year of our strategy: _Building Women’s Movements for Transformational Change._ For most of the year, Womankind and our partners pushed ahead successfully with our work to end violence against women and girls, support women’s political participation and advance women’s power over economic resources, continuing to build momentum and attract support. 

During the year, as well as continuing to support ground-breaking women’s rights projects and policy, advocacy and communications work, we undertook an external evaluation of our strategy _,_ which validated our shift to a movement strengthening approach. We also undertook a brand refresh,revamped the website and instigated participatory work on racial justice and coloniality, inspired by Black Lives Matter campaigns across the globe. The latter resulted in an organisation-wide anti-racism pledge. These three formative pieces of work fed into the development of new organisation strategy, alongside expert analyses and evidence from our partners, stakeholders and teams. We will complete the new strategy in the coming weeks. 

In June 2020 we welcomed two new trustees based in the global South: Françoise Kpeglo Moudouthe with roots in Cameroon but now based in Ghana, and Ugandan Twasiima P. Bigirwa. In September, trustee and former Honorary Treasurer, Noelia Serrano, and Vice Chair Laura Hucks, came to the end of their second terms and stepped down. My sincerest thanks to both of them for their longstanding and excellent service to Womankind. Also in September, Siobhan Allen was elected to replace Laura as Vice Chair and we have benefitted enormously from her skill and dedication since. In addition, we strengthened our executive leadership with the appointment of Interim Director Finance & Resources, Navjyot Johal. Navjyot has a wealth of skill and experience from which we are benefiting immensely. 

Next year will be my final year as Chair of Womankind, though I will be staying on as a trustee to assist transition. I am delighted to be passing on the baton at a time when the organisation is strong and has a clear vision of the future. As always, my gratitude is due to the amazing staff, partners, ambassadors, trustees and other volunteers that we are so lucky to work alongside. Our sincerest thanks are also due to our unflinching supporters, whose commitment has been especially extraordinary during this difficult year and without whom Womankind could not have continued its incredibly important work.

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **About us** 

## **Who we are** 

Womankind Worldwide is a feminist, UK-based, women’s rights organisation working to collaborate as part of the women’s movement in transformational change in the lives of women in Africa, Asia and worldwide. We are passionate about feminism and anti-racism and this year developed a pledge in order to set out organisation-wide commitments to work proactively on anti-racism: https://www.womankind.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Womankind-Worldwidescommitment-to-anti-racism.pdf 

Since our launch over 30 years ago on International Women’s Day 1989, Womankind Worldwide has reached over 47 million women and their families. Our Charitable Objects are: to alleviate poverty and to protect the physical, mental, and emotional health of women; to promote equality of opportunity; to advance the education of women; and to advance the education of the public in these issues. To these ends, our Vision is a just world where the rights of all women are respected, valued and realised and we focus on pursuit of three core Strategic Aims: 

- Achieve an end to all forms of violence against women and girls; 

- Achieve equal influence of women in decision making and ability to exercise political power; 

- Secure equal economic rights and control over resources. 

In pursuit of our Aims, we support women to transform their lives and their communities by working in partnership with women’s rights organisations and movements. We influence international policies and practices on women's rights by sharing our knowledge and experience and that of our partners. Further, we influence others to increase resources to women’s rights organisations and movements. 

## **What we do** 

Womankind establishes solidarity and partnerships with women’s rights organisations and movements in our focus countries, providing practical support and capacity strengthening resources in areas such as information, advocacy and communications, intersectionality, documentation, research and learning, movement building, and funding and sustainability. 

We establish relationships based on solidarity. We respect our partners’ expertise and experience, learning from them and creating opportunities for them to share learning with each other and with policy makers and decision makers locally, in the UK and internationally. We support our partners with contacts and publicity to increase their impact, networks and influence. 

Four key principles underpin our work: 

- **Collective action through women’s movements:** as feminists, we know that change happens and benefits for women’s rights are sustained when women organise and mobilise together. 

- **The central role of women’s rights organisations:** we believe in the power of women’s rights organisations which are rooted in the realities of their communities and understand the context, problems and solutions for positive change for women. 

- **Partnership and solidarity:** we establish strong relationships with our partners and plan programmes with them for joint action and sustainable capacity strengthening. 

- **Context specific approaches:** we recognise there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution to achieve women’s rights, and that each programme must be developed by local movements and the women they support and empower. 

## **Where we work** 

Our involvement with women’s movements and women’s rights organisations in our focus countries is at the heart of what we do. Those countries are currently Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe and Nepal. This year Womankind was **in partnership with 45 diverse organisations** and funded **26 projects** across these countries. Our work with partners contributed to policy and advocacy progress and **supported 25,1225 individuals directly** and **16,368,412 individuals indirectly** . We provided funding and support to the following partners:

**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **Our Achievements 2020 – 2021** 

In recent weeks we have tried to do what we can to support staff and their families from women rights organisations in Afghanistan with whom we have worked for over a decade. This has been essential emergency stage support, mainly attempting to secure passage to safety and exerting influence on the UK government to act urgently in support of these women. Conceiving ongoing support is in progress and we look forward to reporting back on it in due course. 

Throughout 2020-21 we have reflected on the remarkable resilience of our partner women’s rights organisations (WROs) in our focus countries, as they continued to push the boundaries on women’s rights, whilst contending with the immense difficulties presented by the global COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has compounded existing challenges, including the suppression of civic space, inhibiting women’s livelihoods, especially in the informal sector, increasing unpaid care undertaken by women and violence against women and girls. 

We drew upon designated funds from the legacy kindly left to us by Lorraine Hendy, as well as new funding from trusts, foundations and individuals, to create a £1.25 million **Womankind Resilience Fund** as our response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the situation of our partner WROs. This Fund helped us to make flexible grantsto 42 of Womankind’s 45 partner WROs, across all our focus countries. It was important that Womankind was able to be proactive at this time of great need for partners, where this type of flexible support could make a critical difference to the survival of WROs, the health and wellbeing of their staff, their contribution to the pandemic response and the wellbeing of the communities they serve, and the continuation of their work overall at a time when most funding was cut or delayed. For partners, the flexible nature of the funding meant that they were able to spend it according to greatest need. They did not have to spend time and energy creating applications and funds were transferred as quickly and efficiently as possible. Our learning about flexible funds will be colla later in the year, however the fund was possible due to the years of work Womankind had invested in building strong partnerships, based on feminist values and trust. Freedom and Roam Uganda (FARUG) said, “ _**I can hardly remember a grant that has had such a large impact**_ ”. 

Partners have used the funds for wide-ranging activities, including distribution of hygiene kits, production of flyers to raise awareness of COVID-19 (including making information accessible for women with disabilities), providing counselling and mental health support for women who experienced violence, purchasing vehicles to help staff get into the office and into the community, payment of staff wages and office bills, and continuation of services and safe spaces for LBTQI+ people dealing with forced marriage, violence and rape. The Resilience Fund has been highly valued by partners and has given us insights into how we can build flexible funding into Womankind’s partnerships in future. 

Much of the change resulting from our partners’ work highlights the **importance of local, grassroots organisations[?]** which has helped women to survive the challenges of this year and continue fighting for gender equality. This is assisted by the mix in our partnership of networks, such as the Women’s Coalition of Zimbabwe (WCoZ), and partners who work with women who are on the margins of women’s movements, such as Freedom and Road Uganda (FARUG) working with LBTQI+ people and Women Challenged to Challenge (WCC) in Kenya, working with women with disabilities. Partners have used their diverse networks to deliver essential services to women when duty-bearers failed to uphold women’s rights and honour their obligations, but also to find new virtual ways to hold duty-bearers to account and advocate for change. 

January 2021 saw the initiation of the first year of the five-year, six partner, three country, €10.7 million **AWESOME project, funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Netherlands.** AWESOME, _Advancing Women's Engagement: Strengthening Opportunities to Mobilise for Equality_ , reflects our “theory of change” on strengthening movements to be more representative of diverse women, focused on sexual and gender based violence and on women’s participation and leadership, in the context of shrinking civic space. Ethiopian Women with Disability Association (EWDNA) and Siqqee Women’s Development Association (SWDA) in Ethiopia, Women Challenged to Challenge (WCC) and Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) in Kenya, National Union of Women with Disabilities of Uganda (NUWODU) and Forum for Women in Democracy (FOWODE) in Uganda, and Womankind, working at the regional and global levels, will work both independently and collectively to support and be more representative of diverse groups of women, including women with disabilities, resulting in a stronger collective voice with which to challenge social norms and influence policies and decisions. 

Throughout the year Womankind continued to collaborate on a wide range of partnership projects in our focus countries, as well as to influence policy and decision makers in the UK and at the global level. Below are three examples of our projects’ achievements in 2020-21, one under each of our three aims: 

**6** 



**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **Aim 1: achieve an end to all forms of violence against women and girls** 

**Project Example: Young women and girls’ testimonies of sexual violence in informal settlements is providing evidence for Polycom Development Project to influence legislative change in Kenya.** A report on the extent of sexual violence against young women and girls in Kibera informal settlement in Nairobi was published at the end of the ‘Slum girls overcoming all forms of mental and physical violence’ project, using girls’ testimonies collected over one and a half years. 

Polycom developed the report to bring new energy to calls for an amendment to the Sexual Offences Bill in Kenya, to legislate in relation to young women and girls' experiences of sexual violence, previously denied based on a lack of evidence in 2018. During the launch event, Esther Passaris, the Member of Parliament Women Representative for Nairobi County (pictured, right), committed to carrying the Bill’s amendment forward to parliament using Polycom’s report to evidence the need. In her speech, she stated that the project had really helped adolescent girls and she would like it to be escalated to other schools in Nairobi. 

This project demonstrates Pillar 5 of Womankind’s movement strengthening theory of change: feminist documentation and research, as well as the influencing power of the collective, in this case young women and girl's voices from informal settlements. 


## **Aim 2: achieve equal influence in decision making and ability to exercise political power** 

**Project Example: Elected women supported to fulfil their mandates by Feminist Dalit Organisation (FEDO), Women for Human Rights (WHR) and Tewa, in Nepal.** Three partners in Nepal are working across five districts in Province 7 to support elected women, many of whom are from groups that are marginalised, such as Dalit women, single (widowed) women, and rural women. In January to March 2021, 159 elected women participated in a Leadership Development Training course. Topics included gender-based budgeting, power analysis, gender-based violence, and leadership skills. Before this, these elected women had received no training on how to lead effectively in support of women’s rights in government meetings, even though many had been in their positions for months or years. 


Interviews with a sample of the women found that 100% are now engaging differently in government meetings as a result of the training. The women said they have gained confidence and also knowledge to help them put forward issues of importance to women in these decision-making spaces. 

**“** _**Even after two years of getting elected, I used to allocate budget for physical infrastructure not knowing how to work, but now with the better understanding of ward level budget allocation process, we have been able to plan programs that would directly benefit women. This not only uplifts my confidence in growing in position but moreover knowing that I would be a small reason for the progress of the women in our community gives me great pride and motivation…**_ **”  Kala Baduwal, Ward Chairperson, at the Leadership Development Training in February 2021 (pictured, left).**

**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **Aim 3: secure women’s economic rights and control over resources** 

**Project example: Women who were previously incarcerated (ex-prisoners) in Zimbabwe are gaining income, confidence and breaking down social stigma in their communities, with support from Female Prisoners Support Trust (FEMRPIST).** In the first six months of a 12-month project, the FEMPRIST ‘Another Chance’ project supported forty women ex-prisoners to build skills with which to start their own small businesses, largely in vegetable cultivation, packaging and sale, and poultry rearing. At the same time, FEMPRIST provided crucial psychosocial support for the women through facilitated wellbeing circles. This was in response to the findings of FEMPRIST’s research from their previous Womankind-supported project ‘Her Life Behind Bars’. This research had found that as many as one in six women released from prison are at risk of reoffending, due to lack of reintegration support and social stigma affecting their ability to find a sustainable source of income. Since starting their new businesses, none of the forty women have reoffended. The women are making an average USD 30 per week, which means they no longer need to rely on the goodwill of relatives or faith-based organisations for income. They have a basic level of financial independence as they reintegrate into the community. The women are building their confidence and self-esteem by contributing financially to their families and communities, and are breaking down social stigma about women ex-prisoners, which is leading to cultural and institutional shifts that enable women to participate in community activities as free members of society. Some of the women are now engaging successfully in dialogues with community leaders on the reintegration of women ex-prisoners, for example to access government seed aid. _**“Before I would keep to myself, did not want to join other women in the village because I was scared, they would gossip about me. But now I join them in community activities, I don’t mind whatever they say about me. I have served my sentence and paid my dues!”**_ **- Sophia, participant.** 

## **Movement Strengthening:** 

All Womankind’s partnership work is designed to contribute to aspects of strengthening women’s movements, as our principal, overarching strategy for achieving women’s rights. Two project examples follow: 

**Project example: Processes of collective feminist documentation acted as a mobilisation tool for intersectional movement strengthening, as part of the UN Women led 25 year review of progress on the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (BDPfA).** The BDPfA had envisioned a world where each woman and girl could exercise her freedoms and choices. Last year we reported on the publication of 10 national and one regional parallel report by 11 partners in Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe and Nepal which aimed to influence Beijing +25 policy spaces. The reports highlighted the status of women’s rights and made concrete recommendations. Some of the reports focused on women and girls facing intersecting discriminations and marginalisation, including LBTQI+ people, women with disabilities, young women, Dalit women, women based in rural areas and women based in informal settlements. In 2020-21, we received partners’ final project reports, which told us more about the impact of the processes that partners engaged in and how this has strengthened their movements. 

The process of developing the reports acted as a movement mobilisation tool, wherein partners brought together diverse constituencies to reflect on the BDPfA, how it relates to their lives and work, to review progress made, remaining gaps, and what can be done to enable delivery on its promise. Civil society, WROs, community-based organisations, and diverse communities of women were mobilised to work in solidarity to call for Beijing’s full implementation. The process of mobilising and working together on the parallel reports created solidarity, helped to broaden women’s movements, and made them more inclusive. For example, the majority of organisations involved in developing the FIDA Kenya-led report were introduced to the Africa Women Leaders Network (AWLN) during their engagement in the report process. AWLN is an initiative of African women leaders from multiple sectors, with the support of the African Union Commission and the United Nations. It works to enhance the leadership of African women in line with Africa Agenda 2063. As a result, most of the organisations have joined this movement and a Kenyan Chapter has been launched by Professor Margaret Kobia, Cabinet Secretary for Public Service and Gender Affairs. Youth activists and youth-led WROs involved in the process also joined UN Women’s Generation Equality campaign. 

The parallel reports developed are being used to influence governments and regional and international bodies within the process of the Beijing +25 review, and beyond. For example, Women’s Coalition of Zimbabwe has used their report to influence the National Constitutional Amendment and Marriage Bill, with the majority of the recommendations in their submission being adopted by the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee of Justice and Legal Affairs and the Minister of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs. The FIDA Kenya-led parallel report has been instrumental in informing the government’s report on the implementation of the 12th & 13th State Report on the African Charter on Human and People's Rights. Womankind’s #AllNotSome campaign also contributed to movement building by mobilising the public, including Womankind supporters, to learn more about the Beijing Commitments, and amplifying the voices of women who are often excluded or marginalised. Partnership work on BDPfA demonstrates three of Womankind’s movement

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

strengthening pillars: Pillar 2 on enabling movement actors to connect with each other, Pillar 4 on inclusion and intersectional approaches, and Pillar 5 on feminist documentation and research. 

**Project example: Community Champions take on leadership positions and connect into the wider Zimbabwean women’s movement with support from Women’s Action Group (WAG).** 90 Community Champions in Zimbabwe (30 per district across three districts) trained as part of the ‘Building Bridges for Feminist Movement Building’ project. Now they are taking up advocacy issues and demanding accountability from duty bearers for service delivery in their communities, including water supply, with a focus on how women and girls are affected. In addition, these Community Champions are raising awareness of Gender Based Violence, offering psychosocial support, and referring cases to service providers. _**“Women are actively participating in movement building as they are coming together to tackle common issues affecting them for example water challenges, Gender Based Violence, poverty and health related issues.”**_ **– WAG team comment in their project report.** 

The Community Champions are actively participating in leadership and taking on decision-making positions in School Development Committees, churches, health centre committees and in traditional courts. In Bulawayo, two Community Champions were nominated to be part of the District COVID-19 Taskforce representing persons with disabilities and youth, one Champion was elected to be the Health Cluster Lead under the Women’s Coalition of Zimbabwe, and another Champion got her first job as a Programmes Officer at a local WRO. In Masvingo district, five Champions were appointed as Village Heads, one was elected Church Secretary in an Apostolic church and two were elected to traditional leaders committees; positions rarely occupied by women. This indicates the project is influencing change and challenging structures and ideologies that perpetuate gender inequalities and power imbalances. These Community Champions are aligned with Women’s Coalition of Zimbabwe chapters, thus providing structural links between grassroots communities and the wider Zimbabwean women’s movement.  WAG also conducted ‘Feminist School’ training for younger women activists to ‘build a bridge’ and enhance understanding between established feminist leaders in the movement and emerging leaders.

## **Achievements against Objectives and KPIs 2019-20** 

This section sets out how Womankind performed against the KPIs and targets set for 2020-21, as described in last year’s Annual Report, as well as indicating some key learning and next steps. The five Strategic Objectives we report against describe how we are have delivered on the Vision in our Theory of Change, in this fifth and final year of our - 2016-2021 strategy: _Building Women’s Movements for Transformational Change._ https://www.womankind.org.uk/wp content/uploads/2020/09/Womankind-ToC-Final-WEB.pdf 

|**Strategic Objective 1**|**Achievement**|
|---|---|
|Work alongside women’s<br>movements at local and national<br>levels to strengthen their<br>resilience and support feminist<br>advocacy and action.|**First target and KPI:** **_At least 50 partners and strategic allies utilise_**<br>**_Womankind’s support, knowledge, research and tools, including_**<br>**_evidence about the benefits of investing in women’s rights._**<br>**Result:**45 Womankind partners benefitted from mutual support,<br>research, knowledge and tools, of which 42 also received Resilience<br>Grants, to support them during the Covid-19 situation. The Stakeholder<br>Survey was not undertaken, due to the Covid 19 situation, so there is no<br>data for strategic allies. The Partnership Survey indicated the following<br>types of support were most commonly highlighted by respondents:<br>Funding (100%), Support to identify funding (90%), Jointly designing<br>funding proposals (83%), support to participating in regional and<br>international policy spaces (83%) and Solidarity (80%). During the year<br>we engaged with numerous allies and stakeholders, including global Civil<br>Society allies, networks and policy makers, however we did not undertake<br>our usual Stakeholder Survey as qualitative feedback into our external<br>evaluation and strategy development processes was solicited at this time.<br>According to the 2020 external evaluation of WK strategy, 53% of<br>partners report that their partnership with Womankind has significantly<br>helped their organisations forge or strengthen international alliances.<br>Further, partners who felt they had achieved international alliances also<br>felt their successes would not have been achievable without<br>Womankind’s support/facilitation.<br>**Second target and KPI:** **_At least 10 partners report greater use and_**<br>**_greater reach of their communications including ICTs, social media_**<br>**_and websites with Womankind’s support._**<br>**Result:**<br>18 partners were funded (through 6 projects) for work that contributes to<br>Pillar 3: Appropriate communications and ICT support is provided to<br>facilitate network and alliance building and action. Further 25 of 30<br>respondents to the Partner Survey (83%) reported that Womankind’s<br>support had fully or partially helped them attain their communications goals.|
|**Learning and next steps**|This year has been an exceptional year due to Covid-19. However, whilst our<br>approaches and those of our partners have had to be adapted, often<br>significantly and swiftly, many of the KPIs for Year 5, the final year of this<br>strategy 2016-2021, have been met. Lessons learnt about the resilience of<br>our partners and Womankind itself, and how to support feminist advocacy<br>and action in situations of crisis and uncertainty through interventions such<br>as Resilience Grants, will be carried forward into the development of our new<br>strategy 2021-2030, over the forthcoming year.|

**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **Fundraising Performance** 

2020-21 was year three of our Financing Strategy 2018-23 and saw greater investment by donors in our movement strengthening work overall, despite the Covid-19 pandemic. Notable amongst these was the Government of the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, €10.7 million _Power of Women_ grant for our AWESOME initiative: _Advancing Women's Engagement: Strengthening Opportunities to Mobilise for Equality, 2021-26_ . This project is a collaboration between Womankind and partners in Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda, representative of and working to support diverse groups of women, including women with disabilities, to challenge social norms and influence policy discourse. Another highlight was our annual fundraising Gala auction, taken online due to the pandemic, but still raising £104,641; a success, given the circumstances. We have also continued to increase returns on our broader digital fundraising and invested further in expertise to support it. The large grants we have secured will significantly increase the return on investment for future years. 

Of concern during the year were changes in the UK government, with the merger of the Department for International Development with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, followed by cuts contravening the UK’s commitment of 0.7% of Gross National Income to be spent on overseas development assistance. Cuts which Womankind continues to oppose through it advocacy with the UK government, in concert with peer organisations in the sector. These events have led to uncertainty over the UK government’s commitment to women’s rights internationally, and to the provision of predictable, quality grant funding. The longer-term funding landscape continues to be unpredictable as funders’ concerns about the post-Covid-19 global economy grow, affecting their grant giving programmes. Our individual donors’ contributions and their thoughtful and generous legacies are therefore more important than ever, especially as they provide vital flexible income which enables us to support partners in the best way possible, with flexible funding for women’s movements. New financing strategy designed to support new organisation strategy 2021-2030 will consider how to meet this flexible funding need and how to ensure our fundraising meets our anti-racism stance and ambition. 

## **Financial Review** 

The Charity achieved total unrestricted and restricted income of £6,275,486 (2019: £3,106,472). The increase in the year was mainly due to large grant secured from the Government of Netherlands (a multiyear grant for the period 20212026). 

Our principal funding sources are diverse and include donations from Individuals, Legacies, Trusts and Foundations, and Companies, as well as key grants from the UK Government and institutions such as Comic Relief. 

44% of all income received in 2020-21 was unrestricted compared to 79% in 2019-20. This change was due to the restricted grant from the Government of the Netherlands received in 2020-21. 

Our expenditure for the year was £6,228,527, (2019-20: £3,405,254). Unrestricted expenditure for the year was £3,264,540 (2019-20: £2,346,660) while restricted expenditure was £2,963,987 (2019-20: 1,058,595). 

The charity continues to focus on delivering more for our partners and monitor its cost base and resources to ensure spending is in line with income forecasts. 

Fund balances at the end of the year amounted to £3,018,842 (2020: 2,971,884). Unrestricted funds amounted to £2,895,886 (2019: £3,293,527) and restricted funds amounted to £122,956 (2019: (£321,643)). 

## **Reserves Policy** 

Womankind is a charity financed mainly by donated income. By its nature, the income is variable as the propensity to donate is affected by many factors outside the control of the charity. The Trustees therefore review the reserves regularly to ensure that there are adequate funds to enable us to: 

- React to any unexpected adverse impact to our finances and cover any potential future liabilities. 

**14** 



**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

- Provide uninterrupted delivery of the charity’s objectives to meet the needs of current and future beneficiaries, regardless of short to medium term fluctuations in income and expenditure. 

The charity operates within a Reserves Policy which is reviewed as part of the charity’s budgeting and planning processes. The Trustees consider that a sufficient level of free reserves for the organisation is between £750k and £1.1 million of unrestricted expenditure. This has been reviewed subsequently, in the light of the Covid-19 situation prevailing throughout 2020 and is still deemed an appropriate level of free reserves at this time. 

Free reserves represent unrestricted general funds, excluding restricted and designated funds. Our free reserves as at 31[st] March 2021 are therefore valued at £778,862 (2020: £700,465), which is little below the current Reserves Policy. Trustees are confident that the charity continues to be solvent. 

## **Designated Funds** 

In 2018/19 the Charity received a very generous legacy of over £2M from a supporter. It was agreed by the Board of Trustees that these funds would be held in a separate, designated fund and be used to support initiatives that will increase the impact and sustainability of Womankind’s work. 

A sub-committee of the Board was delegated to manage the fund, and a five-year plan of projects and activities to utilise these funds was agreed. The Board further agreed that any legacies which exceeded £100K would be added to the pool of designated funds and be used for the same purposes. During the year £808,943 legacy income was added and £1,154,487 of this designated reserve was spent on our partners across our five focus countries in four phases of Resilience Grants. These grants supported partner women’s rights organisations to survive, sustain their work and continue to deliver women’s rights impact during the challenges of the Covid-19 emergency. 

At 31[st] March 2021 the total funds were £2,117,024 (2019: £2,593,062). 

## **Investment Policy** 

Womankind does not currently have investments in equity or stocks. Our treasury policy is to diversify our deposit funds (here defined as funds over and above what is required on a day-to-day basis) in at least two institutions providing a competitive yield. Some, but not all of these funds can be placed in a fixed term deposit but for a period of no longer than one year. 

In the light of the substantial legacy received Womankind has undertaken due diligence on investment options and have selected CCLA to be our investment managers.  CCLA is an ethical investment house. The investment policy has been reviewed during the year. 

## **Foreign Exchange Policy** 

It is our policy to hold funds in the currency in which those funds will be transferred to partners and therefore we do not hedge against currency fluctuations or currently attempt to predict movements in exchange rates. 

## **Future Plans** 

During the 2020-21 year we have focussed on the development of new organisation strategy, as well as working to maximise delivery on our movement strengthening strategy 2016-2021. The strategy process has been delayed somewhat, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, but considerable progress has been made and the new strategy is now on course to be finalised in the first few months of next year, with an inception phase to March 2022 and full implementation thereafter. The new strategy is taking shape as a deepening of our feminist movement strengthening strategy, with a change of perspective which prioritises anti-racism, a deeper understanding of coloniality and the Covid 

**15** 



**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

and post-Covid context faced by our partners, and our own organisation. We will design and adopt a new approach to measurement for the new strategy in the forthcoming year and will report against it next year. 

The 2020-21 year has also been a year in which we have started to learn to do things differently in the light of Covid-19 and taken on board emergent ideas about what organisations of the future might look like, especially in relation to hybrid models with greater flexible working. We will continue to prioritise staff wellbeing and self-care as we shape our organisation to meet the needs of our new strategy. 

Throughout the year, we will continue to learn, adapt to new circumstances, build our resilience and invest in the resilience of our partners, in order to support broad, inclusive feminist movement strengthening and build the case for investing in women’s rights and women’s movements worldwide. 

The focus points for the 2021-22 year are: 

- Finalisation of new organisation strategy 2021-2030, building on what Womankind and our partners have learnt about feminist movement strengthening, anti-racism and coloniality and the Covid and Post-Covid context in which we are now operating. Sub-strategies, including Organisation Development, Financing, Influencing and Partnership strategies, for example, will be developed and new monitoring, evaluation and learning frameworks built. 

- Originally inspired by Black Lives Matter campaigns worldwide, prioritising our solidarity with Black, Indigenous and Women of Colour in the UK and globally, and re-committing to overcoming discrimination and inequality will be a priority. We will plan, deliver on, monitor and renew our anti-racism pledge: https://www.womankind.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Womankind-Worldwides-commitment-to-antiracism.pdf 

- Further learning about resourcing flexible funding and managing flexible grants funds, extending learning from last year’s _Resilience Fund_ and the new Womankind _Her Voice Fund_ to support Partners’ feminist activism and policy and advocacy initiatives. 

- Developing our communications and sharing materials which document our partners’ achievements and explain how women’s movements make and sustain change, including on the frontline of the Covid-19 situation. Delivering a sustainable decolonising communications approach. 

- • Maximising opportunities to collaborate with our partners to support their national level policy and advocacy initiatives and influence global policy commitments during the year, including in relation to women’s rights, as the Covid and post-Covid situation emerges and depleted economic conditions deepen. 

- • Developing a Funding Charter, in line with our anti-racism pledge, to decolonise our fundraising and marketing, and a Financing Strategy which will meet the needs of new organisational strategy and provide a route map transitioning to full compliance with the Fundraising Charter, over time. 

- Strengthening our operations management and building sustainable capacity in our Finance & Resources team, systems and processes. 

- Continuing to increase flexibility and emphasise wellbeing and self-care amongst our own teams and partner women’s rights organisations. 

## **How Womankind is run** 

## **Management and Governance Structure** 

Womankind Worldwide is a charitable company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 13[th] July 1989, and registered as a charity on 25[th] July 1989.  In November 2013, the Board of Trustees revised and approved new Articles of Association. 

A Board of Directors (the trustees) governs Womankind Worldwide. The Board is responsible for the overall policies and strategic direction of the charity, along with its financial and legal probity and appointment of trustees. They prepare and approve the Annual Report and financial statements in accordance with UK accounting standards and to comply with FRS102 Charities Statement on Recommended Practice. 

**16** 



**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

The Board met 5 times in 2020-21. Due to the Covid-19 situation, these meetings were conducted by video link, on Zoom. Day-to-day operational management is delegated to the Chief Executive, supported by the Senior Management Team. There is one committee, the Finance & Resources Committee (FRC), chaired by the Honorary Treasurer. The FRC meets quarterly to consider policy, review progress against targets and undertake an assurance and monitoring role, ultimately making recommendations to the Board. It reviews financial controls, risk, investment and reserves policies regularly and oversees the audit process. During the COVID 19 pandemic the Board and FRC have continued to meet virtually to provide support and governance to the organisation. Trustees are also called upon by the staff when their own particular skills, experience and expertise is useful to operational activities and during the 2020-21 year have been fully involved in the development of new organisation strategy. 

## **Recruitment, induction and training** 

New trustees are recruited through open advertisement. All trustees are interviewed to ensure that the Board has the balance of skills and experience required to govern the charity and oversee delivery of the organisation’s vision, mission and strategic aims. Last year, this included the recruitment of trustees based in Africa, in recognition of the importance of expertise and experience from the global South in the governance and direction of the charity. This will become even more important as we implement our new strategy to 2030. New trustees have a full induction which includes meeting key staff members and familiarisation with key policies. They also undergo additional training for example on charity governance, safe-guarding, financial scrutiny and major donor fundraising. The Charity is reviewing its current governance arrangements against the updated Governance code in 2021 and will address any issues raised. 

## **Remuneration policy** 

Pay for all staff, is reviewed annually based on cost-of-living data. In 2019-20, an extensive benchmarking exercise was carried out based principally on XpertHR charity sector salary and benefits benchmarking data, in order to ensure that Womankind’s salaries at all levels were fair, in relation to the sector. Womankind’s salary scales are based on this data for every level of employee, including the key management personnel consisting of the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Management Team. This benchmarking exercise will next be undertaken in 2022-23 to ascertain whether Womankind’s salaries have remained fair, and to indicate and adjustments to our pay scales necessary. 

## **Wider network** 

In June 2014, the Charity Commission directed that the charity called Women at Risk (‘the linked charity’) be treated as forming part of Womankind (Worldwide). The effect of this link means that this single set of accounts includes balances and transactions for Women at Risk. Women at Risk does not undertake any operations and any donations made to Women at Risk are included in Womankind (Worldwide) unrestricted income. 

Womankind Worldwide Inc. is Womankind Worldwide’s sister organisation based in the US which holds 501(c)3 status. A Board of Directors (who are US citizens), governs Womankind Worldwide Inc. and they are supported by a Company Secretary. In addition, one of the Directors, a US citizen resident in the UK, is also a Womankind (Worldwide) trustee. They use the Womankind (Worldwide) logo and licence to fundraise in the US for Womankind (Worldwide)’s work, allowing US citizens to support our work tax-effectively. Womankind Worldwide Inc. files annual tax returns to the Internal Revenue Service. 

## **Public Benefit Statement** 

Womankind (Worldwide)’s objectives, as set out in its Memorandum and Articles, are to: 

- Relieve the poverty and sickness and preserve and protect the mental, physical, sexual and emotional health of women in any part of the world; 

- Promote equality of opportunity between men and women in any part of the world; 

- Advance the education of women in any part of the world; 

- Advance the education of the public in any part of the world in subjects relating to economic conditions, mental, physical, sexual and emotional health of women and in matters relating to equality of opportunity between men and women throughout the world. 

**17** 



**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

In reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities, the trustees confirm that we have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives of the charity. Details of activities to further public benefit are set out throughout this report. 

## **Risk Management** 

Risk management is an integral part of the governance of the charity. We take care to understand and address key risks in order to mitigate and manage their likelihood and impact. Risk registers are kept which log principal risks and steps taken to mitigate them at different levels of the organisation. The Senior Management Team risk register is reviewed quarterly by the Finance & Resources Committee, and the strategic level risk register by the full Board. In addition, the CEO gives an oral update to the Finance & Recourses Committee and Board each quarter, for their review and input. The Senior Management Team considers major risks and mitigating actions on an ongoing basis, as part of their decision-making. 

The following high-level risks were identified and are managed through this process: 

1. Risk that the global Covid-19 pandemic reduces Womankind and her partners’ ability to deliver on women’s rights advocacy and action. 

Womankind had reviewed its Business Continuity Plan early in the pandemic to support mitigation of this risk. The Senior Management Team planned and executed a rapid but orderly transition to a virtual organisation in March 2020 and continued to manage and adapt flexibly thereafter, throughout the year. Important was individual support to each team member, on a one to one, bespoke basis, and emphasis on staff wellbeing and health, including mental health. Operational plans were continuously reviewed an adapted/updated in the light of the situation in the UK, in focus countries and globally. During 2020, Womankind executed four phases of flexible Resilience Grants to support our partner women’s rights organisations in all our focus countries to adapt, protect their staff and continue their important work. 

2. Risk that our strategy does not deliver demonstrable impact. This would lead to reputational damage, loss of confidence of key stakeholders in our focus countries and internationally, and failure to replicate and expand our activities. 

This risk was mitigated by the maintenance of a clear, well documented evidence base relating to our theory of change, investment in high quality technical development inputs to our projects and maintenance of a strong focus on learning. Extensive external evaluation of the strategy during 2020 indicated that the strategy was delivering demonstrable impact, however, the mitigation approach was continued as Womankind and our partners adapted our work to the realities of the Covid-19 situation. 

3. Political context in the UK post Brexit reduces income from traditional funding sources. 

This risk was compounded by the risk that the merger of DFID and the FCO would result in a reduction in grant funding available; this crystalised in the light of the Covid-19 situation. To mitigate these risks, we continued to monitor the situation on an ongoing basis, including through sector networks, and to implement our mediumterm Financing Strategy, for which the 2020-21 year was the third year. A key plank of the strategy was further diversification of Womankind’s funding base, including attracting greater support from major donors and US foundations. We also explored alternative sources of bilateral donor funding, for example through the Netherlands, whilst continuing to advocate worldwide on the imperative to fund international women’s rights work. Financing Strategy will be revisited in the light of new organisational strategy, to be finalised during 2021. 

4. Risk to beneficiary wellbeing as a result of inadequate vulnerable adult and/or child protection in our partnership programmes. This could lead inter alia to serious harm to vulnerable adults and/or children, legal action and reputational damage. 

We review our safeguarding and safeguarding related policies and procedures annually and undertake awareness raising and training for staff and trustees, in order to mitigate this risk.  We also provide support on 

**18** 



**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

policy and practice in relation to safeguarding to our partners in the global south. 

5. Risk of regulatory or legal action due to failure to comply with legislation. This could lead to loss of confidence by partners, donors and other stakeholders. 

We have developed a medium-term Financial Management Strengthening Plan in order to monitor uptake of recommendations made by our Auditors and strengthen our systems and processes in line with the requirements of our new strategy, in due course. This plan is regularly monitored and adapted by the Senior Management Team and the Finance & Resources Committee of the Board of Trustees. In relation to nonfinancial risk, we routinely monitor developments in fundraising regulation, data protection and Charity Commission requirements, in order to assure compliance, as well as legal requirements such as those pertaining to intellectual property and employment law, for example. 

6. Risk to reputation by association when diversifying our income sources (individuals and organisations) who may not be well aligned with our values. This could result in negative media and publicity affecting key supporter groups and in turn to withdrawal of funding and other forms of support. 

To mitigate this risk we review our due diligence policy and process annually, assessing potential donors and partnerships against our ethical policies and values and against external risks. This approach will be reviewed in depth as we develop our Funding Charter, under our anti-racism pledge, and our Financing Strategy, in order to meet the needs of new organisation strategy 2021-2030. 

## **Grant Making Policy** 

Womankind’s grants to partners have traditionally been from restricted funds, where there is an agreed framework and budget in place following detailed assessments of the projects. On occasion, and more frequently latterly, for example on receipt of a large legacy, Womankind may make grants from unrestricted funds. In such a case the trustees will make decisions based on advice from the Senior Management Team and will seek to make the grants as flexible as possible, in line with best practice guidance on  quality funding. In all cases, before making a grant, Womankind completes an appraisal of the project and the proposed partner organisations, including in relation to due diligence. This ensures that there is a good strategic fit between Womankind and the partner, and that the project objectives are consistent with shared principles and reflect a coherent  initiative, which is cost-effective in bringing the intended impact. 

Grants are managed through specific agreements with partners, which set out the conditions of the grant, including reporting requirements and when disbursements will happen. Grants are usually disbursed in instalments to ensure that agreed timings and results are being met and managed. A formal review process is in place, and multi-year grants are awarded following satisfactory review. 

## **Womankind’s approach to fundraising** 

We aim to keep our supporters at the heart of everything we do. Each year they enable us to work alongside women to prevent or mitigate violence, take control of their livelihoods and have a say in the decisions that affect them. We are committed to being fully transparent and accountable about how their generous gifts are used. 

We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and follow the Code of Fundraising Practice, including the policy on dealing with vulnerable people. 

We keep up to date on changing regulation and ensure we comply with it by changing processes where necessary. We actively welcome feedback from supporters and regularly use it to improve our fundraising. In the year ending March 2021 we did not work with any fundraising agencies but did work with consultants on particular fundraising initiatives and applications. We worked closely with all these consultants to ensure they adhered to the Code of Fundraising Practice and the policy on dealing with vulnerable people.

**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

During 2021 we received sponsorship for our online Fundraising Gala event from Weil, Gotshal and Manges LLP and Goldman Sachs. We also continued our corporate partnership with OptiBac Probiotics and received donations as a result of sales of their ‘For Women’ probiotic. 

## **Statement of Trustee Responsibilities** 

The trustees, who are also directors of Womankind Worldwide for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS102, the financial reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. 

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 of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company 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 Statement of Recommended Practices (SORP), Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 

- Make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- State whether appropriate accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- Prepare the financial statements on a ‘going concern’ basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Womankind (Worldwide) (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows 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 March 2021, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **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. Our evaluation of the Trustees’ assessment of the entity’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included critical reviews of budgets and forecasts provided. 

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 Trustees 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 

**21** 



**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material 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. 

## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the information given in the Trustees’ report (incorporating the Directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the Trustees’ report (incorporating the Directors’ report) has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors’ report. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the charity, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- 

- 

- 

   - the charity’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

   - certain disclosures of Directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

   - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the Directors’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report. 

## **Responsibilities of Trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement included in the Trustees’ Annual Report, the Trustees (who are also the Directors of the charity for the purposes of company law) 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 the Trustees 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. 

## **Auditor’s 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. 

**22** 



**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

- Obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the entity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the financial statements; 

- Enquiry of management to identify any instances of known or suspected instances of fraud; 

- Enquiry of management and those charged with governance concerning actual and potential litigation and claims; 

- Enquiry of management about any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; 

- Reviewing the design and implementation of control systems in place 

- Testing the operational effectiveness of the controls; 

- Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness; 

- Evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business; 

- Reviewing accounting estimates for bias; 

- Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; 

- Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

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 aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standardsand-guidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-for-audit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

## **Use of this report** 

This report is made solely to the charity’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable charity’s members 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 members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **Notes to the financial statements** 

## **1 Principal Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

Womankind Worldwide is registered in England and Wales with registered office address of Wenlock Studios, 50-52 Wharf Road London, N1 7EU. The Company registration number is 02404121 and the Charity number is 328206. 

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The Company is a public benefit entity for the purposes of FRS 102 and a registered charity established as a company limited by guarantee and therefore has also prepared its financial statements in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2015) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (The FRS 102 Charities SORP) and the Companies Act 2006.  The financial statements have been prepared in pound sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound. 

## **Going Concern** 

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charitable group to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. In making their judgement, the Trustees have considered and analysed the risks of the effect of the Covid-19 global pandemic on the income of the Charity. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular, the trustees have considered the charitable company’s forecasts and projections and have taken account of pressures on donations as well as income levels received to date in the financial year 2021-2022. After making enquiries the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that there are no material uncertainties which would affect the going concern status of the Charity. The charitable company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. 

The principal accounting policies adopted in preparation of the financial statements are set out below. 

## **a) Income** 

All income is included in the consolidated SOFA when the charity is legally entitled to it,  receipt is probable, and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. All income is classified between restricted and unrestricted. 

Grants supporting the core activities of the charity and with no specific restrictions placed upon their use are included within Grant income. Grants are credited to the SOFA when the charity is entitled to the funds. Entitlement to grants income maybe subject to performance conditions in which case it could be classified as performance related grants and recognized when performance conditions are met. Entitlement for projects for longer than a year, this will be assessed by the targets set up in the grant application. 

Income is only deferred where there are time constraints imposed by the donor. For the performance related income or if the funding is performance related. Where entitlement to grants receivable is dependent upon fulfilment of conditions within the charity’s control, the income is recognised when there is sufficient evidence that conditions will be met. 

- Grants supporting the core activities of the charity are included within donations and legacies. 

- Grants that have condition to specific deliver charitable activity are included within income for charitable activities. 

## **b) Revenue Grants** 

Revenue grants including government grants are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable whichever is earlier, unless they relate to a specific future period, in which case they are deferred. 

**27** 



**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **c) Grants for Fixed Assets** 

Grants for the purchase of fixed assets are credited to restricted incoming resources when receivable. Depreciation of fixed assets purchased with such grants is charged against the restricted fund. Where a fixed asset is donated to the charity for its own use, it is treated in a similar way to a restricted grant. 

## **d) Restricted funds** 

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund together with a fair allocation of management and support costs. 

## **e)** 

## **Unrestricted funds** 

Unrestricted funds are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the charity. The fund comprises the accumulated surpluses and deficits of unrestricted income and expenditure. 

## **Designated funds** 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds that are earmarked for a particular purpose by the trustees. The notes to the accounts explain the purpose of designated funds at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of Womankind Worldwide. 

## **f) Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred, on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. Expenditure is allocated to the activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. Costs of charitable activities include direct expenditure incurred through grants to partners and operational activities together with associated support costs. Charitable expenditure is reported as it relates to work undertaken by the charity, being supporting partners to deliver the objectives of the charity. 

Grants are recognised as per the Grants Payable policy. 

The costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charity in raising funds for the charitable work. 

Support costs include the management of the charitable company's assets, organisational management and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and the requirements of good charity governance. 

Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities. 

Governance costs and support costs have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities based upon estimated staff time spent under each activity. 

## **g) Tangible Fixed Assets** 

Tangible Fixed Assets are recognised at cost less depreciation  Office equipment and software assets are capitalised if their value is £1,000 or over. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is provided on office equipment at 25% on a straight line basis so as to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset systematically over its expected useful life. A full year's depreciation is charged in the year of purchase, regardless of the precise month in the year the asset was purchased. 

## **Intangible Fixed Assets** 

Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost less their reduced values over their useful lives on the following basis: 

Website costs - 5 years straight line 

**28** 



**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **h) Pension** 

The charitable company contributes to a defined contribution pension scheme.  The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charitable company in an independently administered fund.  The pension cost charge represents contributions payable under the scheme by the charitable company to the fund. The charitable company has no liability under the scheme other than for the payment of those contributions. 

## **i) Grants payable** 

Grants payable in furtherance of the charity’s objects are attributed to the related classification heading in the SOFA: 

- Grants payable from are recognised as expenditure when payment is due to the partner organisation in accordance with the terms of the partner agreement. the related Income on Grants which will be used to cover these payments are recognised, in accordance with the charity’s standard Income recognition policy. partner agreements may be for longer than one year, but funding commitment are typically for a year’s duration related to the delivery of the activities as set out in the agreement. 

- Grants payable from Unrestricted Designated funds are recognised as fully expended on SOFA in the year the decision was made and liability for grants which are payable over future accounting periods is accrued in the year. 

The projects are regularly monitored and reviewed. SMT retains the right to terminate grant commitments if they are not satisfied with the progress of the project during the monitoring and review process. 

## **j) 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. 

## **k) 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.  Cash balances exclude any funds held on behalf of service users. 

## **l) 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. 

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. 

## **m) Financial Instrument** 

Womankind Worldwide holds basic Financial Instruments. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the Charity are as follows: 

Debtors – trade and other debtors (including accrued income) are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost as detailed in Note 14. Prepayments are not financial instruments Cash at bank – is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value. 

Liabilities – trade creditors, accruals and other creditors will be classified as financial instruments and are measured at amortised cost as detailed in Note 15. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as in the cash settlement has 

**29** 



**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

already taken place and there is simply an obligation to deliver charitable services rather than cash or another financial instrument. 

## **n) Employee benefit at termination** 

Termination benefits, including redundancy costs, are recognised when the Charity has an obligation to pay the benefits and they can be measured reliably 

## **o) Operating Leases** 

Rentals under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term. 

## **p) Critical estimates** 

In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. In making their judgements Trustees considered the effects of the global pandemic COVID-19 on both the future funding and future direction of the Charity. In the view of the trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year. 

Where information about the aims, objectives and projects of the charity is provided to potential beneficiaries, the costs associated with this publicity are allocated to charitable expenditure.

**WOMANKIND (WORLDWIDE)** 

**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

Funds in deficit for Government Granrs are either due to the nature of FCDO grants which are paid in arrears. Womankind prefinances the grant to Partners and then reclaims the amounts for FCDO. Other funds in arrears are due to the accounting treatment adopted. Grant expenditure for future years has been accrued for while the income may not yet have been received.

In 2018/19 the Charity received a large legacy which the Trustees agreed to designate for r use in supporting initiatives that will increase the impact and sustainability of Womankind’s work. The Trustees have agreed a programme of work over a six-year period to expend the Designated funds. However, at the start of the global pandemic this programme of work was accelerated to provide immediate Resilience grant funding of approximately £1.4 M to Partners.
