New Zealand in which - - - -explains pom's impact on the brain.

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

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.

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.
Trustee recruitment and appointment The Board is made of Charity Trustees who are recruited with the
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.
Charitable purposes
To advance education by furthering public understanding of the reward
circuitry of the brain and how it interacts with the environment, and
° 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).

Financial review
Details of any deficit The charity did not have a deficit during 2022-23 and the set reserve was
met at all times.
Donated facilities and services (if any) We donated a total of 100 hours of free training to a total of 420 people.
This was substantially less than last year’s total of 364 hours, delivered to
375 people. The fall reflects the reduction of face-to-face working on our
operations after Covid 19.
During the year teachers at about 500 schools downloaded a total of
3,834 free lessons plans from us.
About 400 hours of labour was donated towards the creation of a book in
the field of pornography harm awareness.
