“In March 2025, the charity issued a guarantee on behalf of RI-France to one of RI-France’s main funders. The charity has agreed to guarantee certain obligations of RI-France with respect to advances received. The total values of the RI-France advances was $8.2 million, however the guarantee would only be called on should RI-France already spend these funds and then be unable to deliver the project, or if there was a cause for any clawback of funds spent on the project and RI-France could not repay such funds. The spend to date on the projects is not materially different to budget, and given the controls in place around project spending, the Trustees consider the risk of RI-UK being called on as guarantor in either case to be very low.” — page 39
