Financial review

Brief statement of the charity's policy


on reserves
The Reward Foundation would like to set reserves at £1,000, equal to
one year's basic operating costs. This amount is feasible and
proportionate for the fourth operating year of a charity. The set amount is
unchanged from last year.

Details of any deficit The charity made a deficit on unrestricted funds in 2016-17, but received
further donations in 2017-18, ensuring that the unrestricted funds are now
in surplus and the set reserve has been met.

We donated a total of 1,120 person/hours of free training, only just below


Donated facilities and services (if any)
last year's 1,165. We delivered free training and information services to
the following groups:
We presented to 310 parents and professionals in community groups,
down from last year's 840
The CEO performed in front of 160 people in a TV studio audience at
BBC Northern Ireland. The 10-minute segment was broadcast on the
Nolan Show, the highest rated programme in Northern Ireland
We presented to 908 people in professional and academic groups at
conferences and events in Scotland, England, the USA, Germany and
Croatia, up from last year's 119

We provided one volunteer placement for a university student and


partnered a graphic design course involving 15 undergraduates over a full
semester.

Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance
responsibilities of with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the
trustees and examiner Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the
audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It
is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the
Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities
examiner's statement Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the
accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with
those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the
accounts and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The
procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit
and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

Ob'ectives and activities ·

Charitable purposes To advance education by furthering public understanding of the reward


circuitry of the brain and how it interacts with the environment, and

To improve health by furthering public understanding of building


resilience to stress.

grants and extending commercial trading
• Developing relations with potential collaborators in Scotland
and around the world through networking
• Expanding our teaching programme for schools using the
scientific model of the reward circuitry of the brain and how it
interacts with the environment
• Building a national and international profile to make TRF a
credible 'go-to' organisation for people and organisations needing
support in the field of internet pornography harm as a way of
furthering public understanding of building resilience to stress
• Extending our web and social media presence to build our brand
among audiences in Scotland and around the world
• Undertaking training and development activities to raise the skill
levels of the TRF team to ensure that they could deliver these
diverse work streams

Achievements and erformance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period

• We doubled our gross income to over £62,000, obtained our largest ever grant and continued to boost our trading
income.
• We completed the 'Investing in Ideas' grant from the Big Lottery Fund. We used it to develop and test curriculum
materials for use by primary and secondary teachers in state schools. We expect that these will go on general
sale from September 2019.
• TRF maintained its presence in the sex education, online protection and porn harm awareness fields, attending
10 conferences and events in Scotland (previous year 12), 5 in England (previous year 3), as well as one each in
the USA, Hungary and Japan.
• During the year we worked with over 1,830 (previous year 3,500) individuals in person and delivered about 2,000
person/hours of communication and training, down from 2,920.
• On Twitter in the period from July 2018 to June 2019 we achieved 195,000 tweet impressions, up from 174,600
the previous year.
• In June 2018 we added GTranslate to the website, giving full access to our content in 100 languages through
machine translation. Non-English language visitors now make up about 20% of our web traffic. We are reaching
wide audiences in Somalia, India, Ethiopia, Turkey and Sri Lanka.
• In the year we published 34 blog posts covering TRF activities and the latest stories about the impact of internet
pornography in society. This was one more than the previous year. We had one article published in a peer-
reviewed journal.
• During the year TRF continued to feature in the media, appearing in 12 newspaper stories in the UK and
internationally (previous year 21 ) as well as on BBC Alba in Scotland. We featured in 6 radio interviews (up from
4) and gained a production credit in a TV documentary on teen relationships.
• Mary Sharpe continued her role as chair of the Public Relations and Advocacy Committee at the Society for the
Advancement of Sexual Health (SASH) in the USA. In 2018 Mary was nominated as one of the WISE100 women
leaders in social enterprise.
• The Reward Foundation contributed a response to the Commons Select Committee's inquiry into the growth of
lmmersive and Addictive Technologies. In Scotland we contributed to the First Minister's National Advisory
Council on Women and Girls on the links between sexual harassment and pornography use.
• We retained our Royal College of General Practitioners Accreditation to deliver one-day courses to healthcare
professionals as a part of their Continuing Professional Development programmes. CPD workshops were
delivered in 5 UK cities (up from 4) and twice in the Republic of Ireland. Two other CPD workshops were
presented to professionals in the USA
• TRF continued to deliver internet pornography harm awareness training to schools, professionals and the general
public.

Financial review

Brief statement of the c harity's policy


on reserves
The Reward Foundation would like to set reserves at £1,000, equal to
one year's basic operating costs. This amount is feasible and
proportionate for the fifth operating year of a charity. The set amount is
unchanqed from last vear.
Details of any deficit
The charity made a deficit on unrestricted funds in 2018-19, but received
further donations in 2019-20 ensuring that the unrestricted funds are now
in surplus and the set reserve has been met.

We donated a total of 230 hours of free training to a total of 453 people.


Donated facilities and services (if any)
This was substantially lower than last year's total of 1, 120 hours. The
change reflects two linked transitions within the charity. First, we have
been able to charge for more of the training delivered to professionals, so
improving our cash-flow. We were able to do this, at least in part,
because materials that were undergoing development in the previous
year were now tried and tested, making them commercially viable
products.

As a counter point, we increased the amount of free information


disseminated through our substantial growth in the audiences reached
around Scotland and the world by our website and in broadcast media,
especially on radio. Our contributions to four public consultations and our
publication in the Journal Sexual Aggression and Compulsivity were made
free of charge.

A key development has been our launch of the Free Parents' Guide to
Internet Pornography. This simple 4-page handout is now helping parents
around the world.

internet pornography in society. We had two articles published in peer reviewed journals, up from one last

workshops were presented to professionals in the USA.
• TRF continued to deliver internet pornography harm awareness training to schools, professionals and the

Brief statement of the charity's policy


on reserves The Reward Foundation would like to set reserves at £1,000, equal to
one year's basic operating costs. This amount is feasible and
proportionate for the sixth operating year of a charity. The set amount is
unchanged from last year.

Details of any deficit The charity did not have a deficit during 2019-20 and the set reserve was
met at all times.

We donated a total of 597 hours of free training to a total of 319 people.


Donated facilities and services (if any) This was substantially greater than last year's total of 230 hours, though
the number of recipients fell from 453 people. The change reflects two
linked transitions within the charity. First, we have been able to charge for
more of the training delivered to professionals and schools, so improving
our cash-flow. We were able to do this, at least in part, because materials
that were undergoing development in the previous year were now tried
and tested, making them commercially viable products.

Second, we increased the amount of free information disseminated through


our substantial growth in the audiences reached around Scotland and the
world by our website and through social media. The Age Verification Virtual
Conference was particularly successful in allowing us to reach new
audiences.

We had peer-reviewed papers published in the 'International Journal of


Environmental Research and Public Health' and 'Sexual Aggression and
Compulsivity'. These papers have the potential to help guide pornography
research worldwide over the next decade.

The Free Parents' Guide to Internet Pornography launched in 2018-19


grew from 4 to 8 pages, getting additional important information the hands
of parents handling stressful situations with their children.

Other o tional information .. -:-~ ;a


Covld-19- In March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared Covid-19 a pandemic. The Trustees have considered
the impact of Covid-19 on the charity and have concluded that it will be feasible to operate in a safe and effective manner
provided all Government guidance is adhered to. The Chief Executive Officer adjusted the work program to remove the
face-to-face teaching elements. Travel was reduced to the absolute minimum. Due attention was also paid to the
potential to apply for funding to offset any potential losses due to COVID-19. The charity was successful in getting a
substantial Third Sector Resilience Fund grant which allowed operations to continue on a fairly normal basis.

Objectives and activities

Charitable purposes To advance education by furthering public understanding of the reward


circuitry of the brain and how it interacts with the environment, and

To improve health by furthering public understanding of building


resilience to stress.

Summary of the main activities


in relation to these objects 2020-21 was the seventh year of operation of The Reward Foundation
(TRF). Our work was focused in several areas:

e Improving the financial viability of the charity by applying for


grants and establishing new areas of commercial trading.
e Developing relations with potential collaborators in Scotland and
around the world through networking.
e Expanding our teaching programme for schools using the
scientific model of the reward circuitry of the brain and how it
interacts with the environment.
e Building a national and international profile to make TRF a
credible 'go-to' organisation for people and organisations needing
support in the field of internet pornography harm as a way of
furthering public understanding of building resilience to stress.
* Beginning a transition to increase our reach and impact by
gradually moving the focus of our services from a model of face-
to-face delivery to a model using modern communications
technologies.
e Extending our web and social media presence to build our brand
among audiences in Scotland and around the world.
e® Undertaking training and development activities to raise the skill
levels of the TRF team to ensure that they could deliver these
diverse work streams.
Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period

° Throughout the year The Reward Foundation’s operations were slowed or changed by the pandemic.
° Trading income was suppressed by the pandemic as we could not engage in face-to-face teaching.
° TRF maintained its public presence in the sex education, online protection and porn harm awareness fields,
presenting at 8 conferences and events online, directly reaching 1,790 people.
. During the year we delivered about 1,677 person/hours of communication and training, slightly down from
last year's 1,736 hours. We considered this a good result given the restrictions imposed by the pandemic.
* On our website www.rewardfoundation.org, the number of unique visitors rose to 374,762 (previous year
175,774) and the number of pages viewed reached 790,430 (up from 323,765).
° On Twitter in the period from July 2020 to June 2021 we achieved 194,000 tweet impressions, significantly
up from 161,000 the previous year. We had nearly 10,000 profile visitors and added 228 people as followers.
° On our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1-mihcAj9mf-nJKLWiT5KA) the total number
of video views rose oe 9-20 to 11,087. The biggest boost came from the clip we licensed from
New Zealand in which explains porn’s impact on the brain. We added 9 original pieces of
content during the year.
. In the year we published 15 blog posts covering TRF activities and the latest stories about the impact of
internet pornography in society.
° We reached out to our core audience through 4 editions of our newsletter ‘Rewarding News’.
© During the year TRF continued to feature in the media, appearing in 2 newspaper stories in the UK.
° For the fourth year running we retained our Royal College of General Practitioners Accreditation to deliver
one-day courses to healthcare professionals as a part of their Continuing Professional Development
programmes. However, we chose not to deliver face-to-face version of this training course during the year
due to covid risks.
° TRF continued to deliver internet pornography harm awareness training to schools, professionals and the
general public.
. The programme of offering free lesson plans on pornography and sexting for use in schools moved into its
public phase at the start of the year. The Reward Foundation now offers 18 individual lesson plans across 7
lesson themes. Three are on sexting and four on pornography. The lesson plans are available through two
separate shops: https:/Awww.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/RewardFoundation and
https://rewardfoundation.org/shop/. During the year teachers downloaded 2,951 lessons from us; 2,234 via
tes.com and 717 direct from The Reward Foundation.
° APPENDIX 1

Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy


on reserves The Reward Foundation would like to set reserves at £1,000, equal to
one year's basic operating costs. This amount is feasible and
proportionate for the seventh operating year of a charity. The set amount
is unchanged from last year.

Details of any deficit The charity did not have a deficit during 2020-21 and the set reserve was
met at all times.

We donated a total of 1,523 hours of free training to a total of 1,765


Donated facilities and services (if any) people. This was substantially greater than last year’s total of 597 hours,
delivered to 319 people. The increase reflects the benefits of delivering
online and also the power of collaborating with several partners who
could link our content to substantial audiences.

The Free Parents’ Guide to Internet Pornography launched in 2018-19 was


updated several times during the year, getting additional important
information the hands of parents handling stressful situations with their
children.
APPENDIX 1

Other optional information

Covid-19- In March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared Covid-19 a pandemic. The Trustees have considered
the impact of Covid-19 on the charity and have concluded that it will be feasible to operate in a safe and effective manner
provided all Government guidance is adhered to. The Chief Executive Officer adjusted the work program to remove the
face-to-face teaching elements. Travel was reduced to the absolute minimum.

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.

C1 Nature and purpose of funds


(may be stated on analysis of In the 2019-20 year we received restricted funding from a single source for three projects: an Age Verification
Conference, a SEO improvement programme and a Public Communication programme. All of these programs were still
funds worksheets)
ongoing at the end of June 2020. The Age Verification conference was delivered online rather than in a face-to-face
format. This led to a saving of £22,407, all of which was returned to the funder. The SEO improvement program was
completed by the Chief Executive Officer and the funds were directed to support this individual's employment as a
consultant, The Public Communication program was ultimately cancelled when our partner ceased operations in this
field and the funder agreed for the money to be used as unrestricted funds. The major grant received in 2020-21 was
for editing existing video into 10 short films, the translation of a book into three other languages and promotion of the
video we had previously made. A separate grant was received from Lanarkshire Enterprise for the Digital Boost
program. This funded the purchase of an advanced computer and an online training space. It also supplied advanced
cyber security training with funds which were directed to the training supplier,

Structure, governance and management

Type of governing document The Constitution of The Reward Foundation. It is based closely on the
standard OSCR model constitution for a SCIO. A copy of the current
constitution has been lodged with OSCR.

agreement of the Board at a quorate meeting of the Board. The process
is for a Board member to nominate an individual and then to have the
Board vote on the nomination. A simple majority of members present is
needed for a new Trustee to be recruited. The processes are set out in
clauses 53 to 79 of the Constitution.

Objectives and activities

Charitable purposes To advance education by furthering public understanding of the reward


circuitry of the brain and how it interacts with the environment, and

To improve health by furthering public understanding of building


resilience to stress.

Summary of the main activities


in relation to these objects 202122 was the eighth year of operation of The Reward Foundation
(TRF). Our work was focused in several areas:

e Improving the financial viability of the charity by applying for


grants and investing in new areas of commercial trading.
e Developing relations with potential collaborators in Scotland and
around the world through networking.
¢ Expanding delivery of our lesson plans to schools using the
scientific model of the reward circuitry of the brain and how it
interacts with the environment.
® Building a national and international profile to make TRF a
credible 'go-to' organisation for people and organisations needing
support in the field of internet pornography harm awareness as a
way of furthering public understanding of building resilience to
stress.
e Increasing our reach and impact by gradually moving our services
from a model of face-to-face delivery to a model using modern
communications technologies.
¢ Extending our web and social media presence to build our brand
among audiences in Scotland and around the world.
e Undertaking training and development activities to raise the skill
levels of the TRF team to ensure that they could deliver these
diverse work streams.
Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period

° Throughout the year The Reward Foundation’s operations were modestly slowed, or otherwise changed, by
the pandemic.
° Trading income was suppressed by the pandemic as we could not engage in face-to-face teaching.
° TRF maintained its public presence in the sex education, online protection and porn harm awareness fields,
presenting at 17 conferences and events (up from 8), directly reaching 591 people.
° During the year we delivered about 990 person/hours of communication and training, significantly down from
last year's 1,677 hours. We considered this a good result given the restrictions imposed by the pandemic.
The fall came mainly from the reduction in the number of the face-to-face groups we worked with.
° On our website www.rewardfoundation.org, the number of unique visitors doubled to 799,470 (previous year
374,762) and the number of pages viewed reached 1,583,044 (up from 790,430).
© We added a substantial section to the website on the progress towards Age Verification for Pornography in
20 countries. This helps policy makers, governments and online safety advocates learn from the experience
of other jurisdictions around the world.
® On 31 May 2022 The Reward Foundation ran a half-day Age Verification Update Briefing over Zoom. It was
attended by 51 representatives from 20 countries.
a On Twitter in the period from July 2021 to June 2022 we achieved 413,000 tweet impressions, very
significantly up from 194,000 the previous year. We had nearly 10,000 profile visitors and added 378 people
as followers (previous year’s gain was 228).
° On our YouTube channel (https:/Awww.youtube.com/channel/UC1-mihcAj9mf-nJKLWiT5KA) the total number
of video views rose from 11,087 in 2020-21 to about 35,000. We added 39 original pieces of content during
the year.
° In the year we published 10 blog posts covering TRF activities and the latest stories about the impact of
internet pornography in society.
° We reached out over 500 people in our core audience through 3 editions of our newsletter ‘Rewarding News’.
® During the year TRF continued to feature in the media, appearing in 3 newspaper stories in the UK.
° For the fifth year running we retained our Royal College of General Practitioners Accreditation to deliver one-
day courses to healthcare professionals as a part of their Continuing Professional Development programmes.
However, due to covid risks, we only delivered a few, selected in-person workshops. We began the process
of converting this course into a format for online delivery. That programme is expected to be completed in
late 2022.
9 The programme of offering free lesson plans on pornography and sexting for use in schools moved into its
second year. The Reward Foundation now offers 18 individual lesson plans across seven lesson themes.
Three are on sexting and four on pornography. The lesson plans are available through two separate shops:
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/RewardFoundation and https://rewardfoundation.org/shop/.
During the year teachers downloaded a total of 4,597 lessons plans from us. The tes.com delivered 3,278
lesson plans (up from 2,234) and another 1,319 (up from 717) came directly from The Reward Foundation.
° For the fifth year running The Reward Foundation team published a peer reviewed paper, this time on
‘Problematic Pornography Use: Legal and Health Policy Considerations’, which appeared in Current
Addiction Reports.
¢ APPENDIX 1

Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy


on reserves The Reward Foundation would like to set reserves at £1,000, equal to
one year’s basic operating costs. This amount is feasible and
proportionate for the eighth operating year of a charity. The set amount is
unchanged from last year.

Details of any deficit The charity did not have a deficit during 2021-22 and the set reserve was
met at all times.

We donated a total of 364 hours of free training to a total of 375 people.


Donated facilities and services (if any) This was substantially less than last year’s total of 1,523 hours, delivered
to 1,765 people. The fall reflects the impact of Covid 19 on our
operations.
During the year teachers at about 1,000 schools downloaded a total of
4,597 free lessons plans from us.

The Free Parents’ Guide to Internet Pornography was updated


approximately every two-months during the year, getting additional
important information into the hands of parents handling stressful situations
with their children.

About 100 hours of labour was donated towards the creation of a book in
the field of pornography harm awareness.

Summary of the main activities


in relation to these objects
2022-23 was the ninth year of operation of The Reward Foundation
(TRF). Our work was focused in several areas:

e¢ Sustaining the financial viability of the charity by applying for


grants and investing in new areas of commercial trading.
¢ Developing relations with potential collaborators in Scotland and
around the world through networking.
¢ Building a national and international profile to make TRF a
credible 'go-to’ organisation for people and organisations needing
support in the field of internet pornography harm awareness as a
way of furthering public understanding of building resilience to
stress.
e Increasing our reach and impact by gradually moving our services
from a model of face-to-face delivery to a model using modern
communications technologies.
¢ Extending our web and social media presence to build our brand
among audiences in Scotland and around the world.
e Undertaking training and development activities to raise the skill
levels of the TRF team to ensure that they could deliver these
diverse work streams.
Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period

° TRF maintained its public presence in the sex education, online protection and porn harm awareness fields,
presenting at 16 conferences and events (down from 17), directly reaching 547 (previously 591) people.
° During the year we delivered about 768 person/hours of communication and training, slightly down from last
year’s 990 hours. We considered this a good result given the restrictions imposed by the pandemic. The fall
came mainly from the reduction in the number of the face-to-face groups we worked with.
° On our website www.rewardfoundation.org, the number of unique visitors fell slightly to 614,815 (previous
year 799,470) and the number of pages viewed reached 1,107,720 (down from 1,583,044).
° On Twitter in the period from July 2022 to June 2023 we achieved 98,500 tweet impressions, very
significantly down from over 400k the previous year. However, we are missing data from October to
December 2022 due to the way that Twitter/X now reports traffic.
° On our YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC 1-mihcAj9mf-nJKLWiT5KA) the total number
of video views remained stable at around 23,000 (previous year 24,000).
° In the year we published 13 blog posts covering TRF activities and the latest stories about the impact of
internet pornography in society. This was up from 10 posts in 2021-22.
° We reached out over 640 people in our core audience through one edition of our newsletter ‘Rewarding
News’.
° During the year TRF continued to feature in the media, appearing in 2 UK-wide radio broadcasts.
° Throughout the year we worked closely with the Royal College of General Practitioners to transfer our
Accreditation to deliver one-day courses to healthcare professionals from an in-person workshop format to a
form suitable for online delivery. That programme was completed successfully just after the end of the 2022-
23 year.
° The programme of offering free lesson plans on pornography and sexting for use in schools moved into its
third year. The Reward Foundation now offers 21 individual lesson plans across seven lesson themes. In
October 2022 improvements were made to all lessons to make them more diversity friendly. Three lessons
are on sexting and four on pornography. The lesson plans are available through two separate shops:
https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/RewardFoundation and https://rewardfoundation.org/shop/.
During the year teachers downloaded a total of 3,834 lessons plans from us (down from 4,597). Tes.com
delivered 3,350 lesson plans (up from 3,278) and another 484 came directly from The Reward Foundation
(down from 1,319).
