## **Integral’s Our Vision Mission** 

**Christian agencies uniting globally, alleviating suffering, and restoring hope, in disasters and beyond.** 

**Integral exists to see God’s Kingdom demonstrated by uniting our Members. We champion, encourage and facilitate collaborative working across the Alliance, particularly in disasters.** 



## **Values** 

Our Kingdom values unite us in prayer, Christian reflection and collaborative action. We work to create and sustain a community of trust among our Members in which collaborative work can thrive. 

## **CHRIST-CENTREDNESS** 

## **UNITY** 

We practise the presence of God in our midst through listening, Biblical reflection and prayer. We strive to provide space for the prophetic voice of the Spirit to shape and guide us as an alliance and inform our actions. 

We are committed to Jesus’ call to unity, and believe unity is God’s gift to us outworked through the power of the Holy Spirit. We unite in order to enable all people in need to flourish as God intended. 

## **RELATIONAL** 

## **IMPARTIALITY** 

We put people first, and desire to see each person fulfil their God-given potential. We want all our interactions to be marked by servant-heartedness, generosity, openness, integrity and mutual respect. We believe that by expressing organisational humility we demonstrate the character of God to a suffering world. 

We acknowledge the image of God in every person, therefore we adhere to core principles of the Red Cross Code of Conduct and the Core Humanitarian Standard. Aid is given regardless of the race, religion, creed or nationality of the recipients, and without adverse distinction of any kind. Aid priorities are calculated on the basis of need alone. 

## **ACCOUNTABILITY** 

## **COMPLEMENTARITY** 

We strive for professional excellence and are mutually accountable for the quality of our work to each other, those we serve, our supporters, and to God. We are a learning alliance, committed to transparency, reflecting on and evaluating our joint work, and assessing our collective impact. 

As Christ has called us to be the many parts of one body, we believe that when our Members combine their strengths and work interdependently, we have greater reach and impact. By working together, we provide a more complete response to the needs of those we serve. 

In a world that is often cynical, fragmented and hostile, we are Christians who believe that disaster and suffering are not the end of the story. 





## **Integral Tips for Running Virtual Teams** 

In 2020, as a result of the global pandemic, Integral Members pivoted to working remotely. Drawing on eleven years’ experience, the Integral Secretariat shared their top tips for running virtual teams.

## **Foreword from Chair** 

As Integral celebrates God’s faithfulness over the 15 years of its existence, the global pandemic of 2020 reminds us once again just how crucial the work of the Alliance is. Christian disaster responders remain at the forefront of humanitarian response. Increasingly, those who operate closest to the local context do the ‘heavy lifting’, but many local Partner agencies lean on Integral’s coordinated global network of donors and Integral Mission Partners. They form a crucial backbone of support in such times and enable remarkable scale and speed of response.  For example, Integral Members and their Partners reached 7.3 million people in 54 countries this year responding to COVID-19 alone. That this was possible while so many Integral Members worked through the confines of national lockdowns and deep economic uncertainty in their fundraising environments is a testament to God’s grace and His strong bias toward the poor. 

From April 2020 onwards Integral’s Board, Marketing, and International Programmes meetings all shifted to more frequent online meetings. This year saw more opportunities for connection across Integral than any previous year in the Alliance’s history. The Secretariat is thankful for positive collaboration with the US Accord Network around relevant USAID initiatives and on the topic of Diversity and Inclusion. The #Black Lives Matter movement with its global resonance prompted responses from across the membership including from the Integral Alliance CEO. 

Together with reimagining inclusion, and reimagining how we function fully virtually, we were also invited to ‘reimagine mission’ with CB Samuel, a leading Indian theologian and missiologist as our keynote speaker for our 15[th] Anniversary meetings. CB reflected on decades of development and mission work in India and what it takes to truly grow disciples and bring about sustained outcomes for God’s Kingdom. 

Additional training webinars and facilitated discussions dealt with elements of the pandemic as well as the all-too-necessary topic of Duty of Care. Members’ staff have dealt with deep uncertainty and anxiety surrounding their work and their national contexts, quite aside from the needs of the communities they serve where formal social safety nets are all but non-existent. In such a context, prayer and peer support have been deeply appreciated. 

We are grateful for the cost-cutting budget review undertaken by the Secretariat this year, with a reduced budget agreed halfway through the year. This was done with a view to reducing the burden on Member fees in the next financial year and to show solidarity for the economic uncertainty ahead for our Member organisations. 

Key initiatives were progressed in 2020. Among those were finalising the work of the Partner Listening Forums that took place in five countries which informed and helped define our finalised Integral Localisation Statement, Approach, and Commitments. 

This year saw a rethink of how Integral approaches mutual accountability through its Mutual Accountability and Learning Tool (the MALT). This work lays a foundation for greater transparency, a shift in power toward local Partners and an ever-deeper trust across the growing number of Alliance stakeholders. One of those stakeholders this year has been Compassion International, who gifted funds to two COVID-19 related projects in Haiti and Bangladesh. We are very grateful for their generous support of these Integral collaborative projects. 

Another key initiative has been the work on Neglected Crises with Cressida Thompson joining the Secretariat to support this work. The frontier for humanitarian action is undoubtedly the world’s neglected,

protracted and complex crises which often run for years at a time with scant resourcing. 2021 will see more traction in this vital area of Integral’s work. 

On Membership, Mission’s Alliance Norway made the decision to leave Integral in December 2020. Andreas Andersen, their CEO, cited their primary focus on long-term development work as their reason for leaving, while reflecting on the many valued years of “support, spiritual fellowship, professional sharing and mutual accountability”. We release them from Integral with prayers for God’s richest blessing in all they turn their hands to do around the world. 

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Kim Hartzner, who has now left the Integral Board as he has stepped into an Ambassadorial role at Mission East. While CEO at Mission East, Kim was a champion and supporter right from the concept stage of forming Integral in 2002. Mission East went on to becoming a founding Member, for which we share our deep gratitude. We bless Kim in his new role and wish him well for the future.

## **: 15 years** 

## We look back with thankfulness 

Fifteen years ago, God gave five organisations a vision to work together, combining their resources on behalf of those most in need. It is a story of God's faithfulness. 

Since we started 15 years ago we have become an Alliance of 22 organisations headquartered in 14 countries. We now have clarity and agreement over our strategy and how we collaborate in disasters. Together we have greater reach and impact than any one Member. 

## **2005** 


## Three big milestones 

Decision made to form Integral. 


We are a global alliance **22 Members** Our work spans **34 sectors** Together we work in over **90 countries** We have a network of over

## **Our Commitment to Quality & Accountability** 



Integral is a global alliance of Christian relief and development agencies, working together to present a more effective response to poverty worldwide. 

We believe that: 

more people in need will be helped if relief and development agencies combine their resources, and put their Christian faith into action by working together; 

by working together, expressing organisational humility and servanthood, we can demonstrate the character of God to a world in need; 

God cares deeply for people living in poverty, illness, hunger, conflict, alienation and oppression. 

As an alliance we want to put people first. We are convinced that God calls us to express love for the world through practical actions. God calls us to serve those who are the least, the forgotten, the most vulnerable, and the unfortunate to the best of our ability. We therefore want to be intentional in our mutual accountability for the quality of our work. 

Integral is committed to maintaining high quality in our work in accordance with internationally recognised standards[1] which respect international law and humanitarian principles. 

Consistent with our Christian faith and values, the Integral Alliance endorses and commits to working towards the Core Humanitarian Standard. 

Integral’s Members are committed to working towards ensuring that our work, and that of our Partners, upholds the standards and good practices of the global relief and development community.

## **Learning in Integral** 

In 2020 the Secretariat increased opportunities for Members to connect and learn from one another. 

This year every Member was able to identify learning from Integral that they have applied to their work. 

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic the Secretariat also provided more external, expert input on various topics virtually. 

This year we have held 23 webinars, with over 300 participants taking part. 



**23 300 Webinars Participants** 

**Learning Areas covered in 23 webinars** 

## **Human Resources** 

Over the last three years, Members have increasingly been able to describe how learning from Integral has impacted their practice. 

These quotes reflect how Members have made changes as a result of learning from Integral. 

_Integral's work on the issue of localisation has helped us to better understand how this applies to us and our independent local Partners. We are better informed and better prepared to contribute to the positive elements of localisation._ (Board)

_We learned from a fellow Integral Member of a simple and practical tool for recording direct feedback and complaints from communities that are spoken directly to staff. The tool provides a simple way for field staff or visiting staff to record feedback, and collate it at a project or even organisational level._ (IPG)

## **The Integral Board and ExCo** 

## **KEY THEMES** 

COVID-19 has impacted on our work and meetings this year. 2020 has seen the Integral Board meet more often than any other year. We held our usual biannual meetings in April and October virtually with updates on progress against strategy and all business and governance voting completed. The Board also met four further times through the year for more peer learning and discussion in smaller groups, including sharing on ‘Leading in Uncertain Times’. 


## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND KEY DECISIONS** 

## **PARTICIPATION** 

- 2020 marked the 15[th] Anniversary of Integral. CB Samuel from India gave us three challenging messages on ‘Reimagining Mission’ to mark our anniversary, provoking thoughtful discussion. 

- The Board approved a level of delegation of authority to the Executive Committee (ExCo), which enables work to continue more smoothly. 

- In April 2020 the decision was taken by the Board to revise the Integral budget in light of COVID-19. 

- A revised and reduced Integral budget was agreed mid-year in light of the global pandemic and its impact on Members. 

- Integral’s Localisation Statement was finalised and approved by the Board. 

- Clear Board support was shown for the direction and progress of our collaborative work in Neglected Crises. 

All Members were present for at least one of our biannual governance meetings. In addition to the six Board meetings, there were four ExCo meetings, two FAC calls, and two calls for the IPG and IMG Board committees to ensure good communication between all core Integral groups. 

We are sad to say farewell to Mission Alliance (Norway), who left Integral at the end of December 2020 as their new strategy leads them in a different direction to Integral’s focus on disaster response. 

- _In an increasingly balkanised and competitive world that in many ways is experiencing disunity, Integral remains a prophetic anchor of Kingdom unity. Thus Integral and our approach is not only a prophetic witness to the world but also forms us individually and corporately. The currency of Integral is partnership and partnership by its very nature embraces humility._

## **The Integral Marketing Group** (IMG) 

## **KEY THEMES** 

## **In 2020 the key areas of work for the IMG were:** 

- Fundraising in a Global Pandemic – sharing fundraising progress, scenario plans and case studies, and learning and best practice around leading and motivating staff teams, church engagement and digital acquisition. 

## **Outside DR:** 

   - The webinars that took place this year to share learning and best practice were on the topics of Live Events on Social Media, Major Donors and Ethics and Dignity in Humanitarian Communications. 

- Dignity in Humanitarian Communications – a new working group has started looking at this topic with the aim of producing standards to be incorporated into our joint DR process. 

## **PARTICIPATION** 

- Localisation – exploring the relevance for the IMG and how best to contribute to Integral’s Localisation Commitments. 

The regular biannual IMG meetings were held virtually in both April and October 2020. Nineteen out of 22 Members were represented at both sets of meetings. In 2020 the IMG also met twice more to share case studies about fundraising in a global pandemic – a total of 36 people attended these extra two calls. A total of 49 attended the three IMG webinars held this year. 

- Neglected Crises – three IMG members are on the Integral Neglected Crises Working Group. The IMG will continue discussing how to contribute to the Integral strategy on Neglected Crises as it develops. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND KEY DECISIONS** 

## **In DR:** 

   - The Informed Consent Working Group completed their work and disbanded in April 2020. Informed consent minimum and gold standards are now incorporated into our Integral DR process. The survey of Members’ own standards will be updated annually in the MALT. 

- In October 2020 a new IMG working group formed – Dignity in Humanitarian Communications. This will enable sharing best practice across the alliance and define ethical principles to guide our humanitarian storytelling. This work will also inform Integral’s approach in DR, which includes localisation and a commitment to the Core Humanitarian Standard, as well as input into Integral’s 

- **32** wider safeguarding policy. 

- _Integral enables me to grow personally and professionally through great learning from colleagues at other organisations. ...the greatest benefit in marketing/comms is that the typical walls of competition come down and we are able to share with and learn from each other without concern that someone will “steal” our ideas or use them without our permission. It’s a wonderful, collaborative environment._ 

IMG, World Concern 




## **The Integral Programme Group** (IPG) 

## **KEY THEMES** 

Work progressed on the IPG priority areas of: 

- Localisation – building on findings from a series of five Partner Listening Forums and learning from the Partner-led tsunami response in Sulawesi. 

## **PARTICIPATION** 

The regular biannual IPG meetings were held virtually in both April and October 2020. All Integral Members were represented at both sets of meetings. The Early Responders Group also met virtually in September 2020, bringing staff from nine operational Members together. Additionally IPG members took part in two IPG conference calls, and several optional webinars related to COVID-19 and the Core Humanitarian Standard. Participation in IPG working groups remains high, including on Localisation, Quality Assurance and Neglected Crises. 

- Quality – drawing on learning from our joint evaluation of our response to the Sulawesi tsunami, and supporting Members in working towards the Core Humanitarian Standard. 

- Neglected Crises – building on an external consultancy to develop a strategy for Integral. 

- COVID-19 – working to share information and learning as Members pivoted their programmatic work in the face of the global pandemic. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND KEY DECISIONS** 

- Report from five Partner Listening Forums delivered by consultant in March 2020 to inform Integral’s localisation approach. 

- Finalisation of Integral’s Localisation Statement and subsequent approval by the Integral Board. 

- Neglected Crises external consultancy completed and processed by all groups in April 2020, leading to work to develop an Integral Strategy and formation of a cross-disciplinary working group for Neglected Crises. 

- The Sulawesi Disaster Response Joint Evaluation recommendations finalised and an action plan agreed in April 2020. 

- Two webinars on the Core Humanitarian Standard took place in September 2020. 

- _Integral allows us to access additional funds, share practical information and resources during emergencies with like-minded organisations in a safe/ friendly/honest environment. We have agreement on clearer, more effective ways of working when we collaborate in disasters, and participate in dialogue/ thinking/initiatives that we might not have the time or capacity to do on our own._

## **Future Plans** 

Integral’s 15th anniversary year has been challenging and unexpected with the coronavirus affecting all areas of our work. This includes the work our Members do in over 90 countries to the running of meetings and the functioning of our small Secretariat. We have nevertheless been able to continue supporting our Members and facilitating connections and collaboration between them to a greater extent than ever before. I remain enormously grateful to our small Secretariat team for their dedication and hard work. After eight years with Integral, Rebecca Warren-Heys left the Secretariat team to pursue a career in teaching. We are so grateful for her dedication, godliness and enormous range of gifts and skills used for God’s glory and Integral’s benefit. We also thank all of our Members who have responsibilities in our formal structures and working groups for their continued commitment and support of Integral. 

Our combined reach and impact continues to grow as we move forward in our work on current disasters and Neglected Crises into 2021. We know that the pandemic is and will be disproportionately affecting poor and vulnerable people around the world, so our combined efforts will make a greater impact than each of our Members working alone. 2021 will see Members agree selection criteria, forging a way for selecting a pilot Neglected Crisis. The ultimate aim of this area of work is to bring together our Members’ strengths in the face of such challenging and underfunded humanitarian situations. 

In 2020 we agreed our Integral approach to Localisation and Statement of Intent, in which we state: 

_Integral believes that, at its heart, localisation is about a form of biblical “Jubilee” – a genuine realignment of power, enabling decision-making at a local level. Shifting power into the hands of those most vulnerable is an expression of Integral Members operating in a biblical way as they seek to alleviate suffering and restore hope in contexts of injustice._ 

In solidarity with our Members having to make cuts in their organisations, we reduced our 2020 budget and have agreed a tight budget for 2021. We are also halving fees for 2021, and as we always do, will continue to closely monitor how to provide added value for our Members in the most prayerful and efficient way we can. 

Thank you for taking the time to look at our Annual Report – we are so grateful for your interest and for God’s faithfulness to us over the last 15 years. We look forward with hope to all that 2021 brings.

## **Financial Review** 

The income of the Trust is primarily derived from membership fees and donations from trusts, corporations and individuals. During 2020, the charitable company received total incoming resources of £313,662 (2019 - £418,722). Resources expended on charitable activities amounted to £262,667 (2019 - £364,472). 

The Reserves Policy as agreed at the April 2016 Board meeting was to ensure Integral kept a minimum of six months operating costs as reserves. As mentioned in the narrative section previously, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, a revised and significantly lower budget was presented to the Board in July 2020. The Board agreed the revised budget and revised the reserves policy to four month’s operating costs. This equates to approximately £80,000 based on 2020 unrestricted 

expenditure of £240,687. Unrestricted funds carried forward at 31 December 2020 were £417,520, of which £20,000 (2019: £20,000) were designated as explained in note 12 and £1,145 are tied up in Fixed Assets, leaving £396,375 of free reserves. 

In light of this, and the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Members, the Board agreed to reduce fees for 2021 to half the 2020 level and continue to discuss 2022 fee levels. It is anticipated that this, combined with revised budgets, will reduce free reserves by approximately £300,000 by 31 December 2022. The Board will continue to monitor the impact of the global pandemic on operations and review the reserves position throughout 2021.

## **Directors’ Responsibilities in the Preparation of the Financial Statements** 

Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial period, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the net incoming resources for the period. In preparing the financial statements the Directors are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and 

- Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to do so. 

This report and the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with: 

- the special provisions of part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small entities; 

- the provisions of the Charities Acts that determine the form and content of Charity Annual Reports; and 

- Reporting and Accounting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) issued in July 2014. 

The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which 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. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

Approved by the Directors on 22 April 2021 and signed on their behalf by:

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **BASIS OF PREPARATION** 

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## _**Going Concern**_ 

As explained in the financial review, the Board consider reserves to be more than adequate to mitigate any impact the global pandemic will have on the financial health of the charity and that there are no material uncertainties 

about Integral’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

## _**Income Recognition**_ 

Income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Income received in advance of entitlement passing to the charity is deferred until the criteria for recognition are met. 

## _**Expenditure Recognition**_ 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

## _**Allocation of Costs**_ 

Direct Activity Costs comprise those costs that contribute directly to an activity and are allocated to the relevant activity. 

Support costs are initially identified between governance and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the Foundation 

and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include independent examination and legal fees. Other support costs comprise the general running costs of the charity. Support costs are allocated to the relevant activity based on the staff time attributed to the activity. 

All costs, including apportionment of support and governance, are allocated against the fund to which they relate. 

## _**Restricted Funds**_ 

These represent income received that is subject to specific restrictions for use determined by the donor which is narrower than the charitable company’s general objects. 

## _**Unrestricted Funds**_ 

These represent all other funds held for the general purposes of the charitable company. Funds set aside by the trustees for specific purposes are shown as designated funds. 

## _**Capitalisation and Depreciation**_ 

Equipment costing over £350 is capitalised and depreciated over its useful life, which in all cases is estimated at three years.
