New Governance Structure 2024

COMPANY MEMBERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS

For the first 20 years of Integral’s existence, the Board of Integral consisted of the CEO or President of each of our Members, so the Board had 21 members. In desiring Integral to diversify and grow as an Alliance, the Board agreed to create a smaller representative Board.

After careful revision of our legal statutes and in-depth consultation with all of our Members, as well as discussion with the whole Board, in April the new statutes and governance structure were agreed. The previous Board are now Company Members of Integral, and they voted in a representative Board of eight of their number. They also created space to appoint up to three independent members, thus supporting the desire for increased diversity in Integral.

Foreword from our Chair

As the new Chair of Integral, I would like to welcome you to our 2024 Annual Report. I took over from Martha Newsome in January and would like to thank her for her excellent contribution to Integral, particularly in encouraging and driving through the work on the strategic shifts for Integral throughout 2023.

2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of Integral. We are so grateful for Integral as an expression

of God’s gift of unity in the relief and development sector – this underpins all our collaboration. And in January we welcomed LM International, one of our founding Members back into the membership of Integral.

Integral is about people! Integral is God’s gathering and we model a virtual Christian community: interdependence, vulnerability, prayer and fellowship – these are foundational to Integral. We unite our Members for two main reasons: because of Jesus’ call to unity, and because of our strong conviction that more people are better served through collaborative working. Through Members working collaboratively, we see Integral as the means to the end of helping more people, especially in disasters.

We model unity in diversity – Members are different but we see how we can add value by bringing that diversity together. We have responded to 44 disasters together since we began our Disaster Response work 15 years ago. We have grown from five founding Members to 21 Members from 13 countries with a network of 540 Partners.

At our October face-to-face meetings we welcomed some of our Integral ‘Alumni’ – past Chairs and Board members – to join us in looking back with thanks in order to look forward with hope. Faithful to our calling, we stand joyfully on the shoulders of those who have gone before us.

As well as celebrating our 20th anniversary, 2024 has been a year of continuing to enable all of our Members to respond collaboratively to the increasing number of disasters in the world around us. As well as running four Integral Disaster Responses this year, calls were held on at least six other neglected crises, and Integral facilitated information sharing among Members on 12 other crisis situations around the world.

Following on from the decisions taken by the Board in October 2023, I would like to highlight the work we have done on redesigning Integral’s governance structure (see diagram and description on the facing page). This is an historic moment in Integral’s 20-year history. The new simplified governance structure enables us to be more flexible and diverse as an Alliance, both within our membership and to our key stakeholders. This is vital as we seek to collaborate as Christian agencies to meet the increasing challenges we face.

As we look back on 2024, we are grateful for all the people we have served. We look forward to continuing to simplify and reduce the administrative burden of membership on Members, and to help Integral achieve diversity, more local relevance and wider reach.

Wholeheartedly,

Carol Bremer-Bennett Chair of Integral Alliance

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.

UNITY

CHRIST-CENTREDNESS

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.

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.

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.

How does Integral Add Value?

In our annual Mutual Accountability and Learning Tool (MALT), we ask Members how Integral adds value to their work. Every Member identified benefits from Integral Membership that they are not able to get anywhere else.

There are close connections between the areas Integral adds value: our collaboration in Disaster Response is facilitated by established relationships and improved by joint learning and a shared commitment to quality. At the same time, relationships are built as Members come together through the Disaster Response Process and learning is motivated by a desire to improve the work we do together.

Disaster Response

86

Examples shared of how collaboration with other Integral Members adds value in Disaster Response. These include:

Access to donor funds through another Integral Member

Our Commitment to Quality and 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:

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.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND KEY DECISIONS

PARTICIPATION

The Integral Board met twice during 2024, virtually during two sessions in April and in person in October in the Netherlands.

In January we prayed for and said farewell to Martha Newsome, our Chair and President and CEO of Medical Teams International. In April we welcomed Josephine Sundqvist, CEO of LM International, along with Mike Goodwin, Interim President & CEO of MTI to their first Integral Board meetings.

In October, 20 of our 21 Company Members joined us and we welcomed Kelli Tolf, the new President of World Concern, to our Company Members meetings. We thanked two departing Company Members. We prayed for Patrick Guiborat from SEL France who has been on the Board of Integral since April 2006 and retires from SEL in 2025. We also prayed for Matthew Maury, leaving Tearfund Australia at the end of 2024. He joined the Board in 2010 and served on both the ExCo and Board and as Chair of Integral.

Integral provides us with the opportunity to work with trusted partners, often at short notice, to respond in ways and places that are aligned with our strategic plan and that our donors are interested in, but where we wouldn’t otherwise be able to respond.

KEY THEMES

ACHIEVEMENTS AND KEY DECISIONS

PARTICIPATION

The IPG expressed high levels of satisfaction with the value Integral adds. Twenty Integral Members attended the October IPG meeting in the Netherlands. Regional and Kenya-based leaders, Partners, and Micah Kenya representatives joined an IPG meeting in Kenya in April in addition to our on-line meetings. We are very grateful to our colleagues in Kenya and Micah Kenya for their leadership and input for this meeting. Our deepest thanks to Peter Macharia from World Concern, who completed his term as IPG chair in April. We are grateful to the guest chairs who led our October meetings and are seeking a new IPG chair.

Integral allows me to have information directly and quickly from the field after a disaster happens in countries where we don’t have local Partners. It offers a safe space to interact with Christian humanitarian organisations and discuss innovations from the sector as well as challenges.

SEL France

Looking to the Future

We ask Members in the MALT to tell us about how Integral can continue to add value in the future and about global uncertainties that are impacting their work.

Future focus

Localisation

Maintain our focus on this pcommitment Deepen our commitment to CHS Build a more localised humanitarian response Support local Partners in DR

Going wider

Expand Membership to include majority world organisations

Develop strategic partnerships Work more closely with Micah Global

Learning

Offer a wider variety of learning opportunities

Going deeper

Develop more joint assessments, joint programming or joint funding applications

Uncertainties

Funding

Shifting donor priorities Reduced donor budgets Changes in churches' and individual supporters’ giving Cost of living increases

Domestic politics

Lack of government interest or funding

Politics of migration Closing space for faith-based organisations

Embargoes on certain countries

Insecurity and conflict

Ongoing challenges of operating in increasingly insecure environments

32

Future Plans

The theme for our October celebrations was built around a verse given to Integral when we began 20 years ago:

‘Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.’ Isaiah 42:9

We look back with gratitude at the many new things that have happened over those years.

The world has changed since then, and yet we still see God at work, calling us to new things. Another verse given to us challenges us to make space:

‘Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do

not hold back; Lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.’ Isaiah 54.2

As we look at our approach to topics like localisation and decolonisation, we are opening up Integral, working on embracing greater diversity and becoming more locally relevant by inviting new Members to join Integral. In 2025 we particularly look forward to welcoming majority world NGOs to join us on this journey and help us co-create the future.

We are reimagining how to tackle the issue of our fragmented response to the needs of people affected by disasters around the world. In our partnership discussions we are engaging with like-minded networks and

alliances. We want to learn from each other and strive together to find greater reach and impact in our work and greater flexibility for participation for our Members.

We are working to be flexible and agile to respond in today’s complex and ever-changing world. In 2025 we will continue to deepen our collaboration particularly with Micah Global and will be meeting together in October at their Global Consultation.

In these challenging times, we continue to believe that by working together we can have greater reach and impact, and bring hope and good news into the darkest of situations.

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.

I would like to end by looking back with thanks to our Secretariat team for their commitment and prayerful hard work through 2024. Thanks to our supporters and pray-ers, our Members and their Partners throughout the year – they truly inspire us and enable us to see how God uses people to turn the ‘valley of weeping into a place of springs’.

Thank you for taking the time to read our report and we look forward to more new things in 2025!

We are so grateful for your ongoing interest in our work!

Financial Review

The income of the Trust is primarily derived from membership fees and donations from trusts, corporations and individuals. During 2024, the charitable company received total incoming resources of £366,022 (2023 – £321,059). Resources expended on charitable activities amounted to £347,101 (2023 – £307,594).

The Reserves Policy as agreed at the October 2020 Board meeting is to maintain free reserves equivalent to four month’s operating costs. This equates to approximately £111,000 based on 2024 unrestricted expenditure of £331,876. Unrestricted funds carried forward at 31 December 2024 were £372,595 (2023 – £350,949) of which £1,980 (2023 – £2,926) are tied up in Fixed Assets, leaving £370,615 (2023 – £348,023) of free reserves.

The new governance structure unanimously agreed by the Integral Board in April 2024 created a full Company of Members, which includes all Members and a smaller elected Board. The Company Members receive the Annual Report and consider the accounts and independent examiner’s report at the AGM.

In 2024, membership expansion began with a new Membership Committee appointed and reporting to the Board. Integral will slowly build up to 30 Members, particularly looking at majority world NGOs, as well as nurturing partnerships with other like-minded networks and alliances. Revising the strategy and planning for the financial implications of the changes will continue in 2025, including monitoring our reserves position.

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:

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 11 March 2025 and signed on their behalf by:

A Paterson

Treasurer and Director Integral Alliance

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

37

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Integral Alliance (co. no. 5442605 and charity no: 1112515) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 39 to 40.

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

  1. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  2. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT

Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a Full member of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

Integral Alliance Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2024

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) effective January 2019, 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

There are no material uncertainties about Integral’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Board consider reserves to be more than adequate to mitigate any risks.

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 charity 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 and governance 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.
