Mission and principles St Ethelburga's is a 'maker of peace-makers,. We build community resilience for times of ecological and social emergency. Our work is organised around four key principles, which are reflected in the fabric and history of the building. These underlie all our programmes and guide what we do. We illustrate these principles by telling the following lour stories.

Values into action

Crisis as opportunity

Community across differences

Protecting the sacred

The Majority of our prograrnmes were redesigned for the online environment, with considerable success.

Online impact During lockdown, St Ethelburga s seized the opportunity offered by online worknngi pursuing in*ernational oudiences and making the best use of our new wider reach. We enjoyed transloting our signoture style and methodology on to Zoom in creotive ways. We experimented with exciting new formats such as our retreats in daily life, which combine group work with self-study and reflection in a flexible way. We led resilience participants in embodied exercises in nature, connected vio mobile phone cameras on several different continents. We found new ways to keep people engoged and nourished in an environment that some con find droinin9 and impersonal. We invented new tools and adapted existing forms to enable intimacy and deep sharing, and we designed hybrid events combining in-person and online audiences. We also formed a new international partnership with The Centre for Spiritual Imagination in New York, and cemented existing partnerships with frontline organisotions in the global south. e experimented and innovated, and fed learning back as a team, keeping our work alive and fresh ond successfully ovoiding the foti9ue experienced by many. The leorning goined in this year of lockdown has broadened our methodology and expanded our reach.

Inspired by St Ehelburga s practice of naming the uncomfortable truths of our time, Anahita recently led a 'truth-telling event, based on stories from refugees, which she plans to make part of a series. Declan Declon attended a deep adaptotion retreat (now called Radical Resiliencel. He described it as leading to "a real shift in perception, a different reality" and being 'powerfully mobilisin9'. The programme had a mojor impact on his sense of direction and played a port in a bi9 leap forward in his leadership. Declan has since been leading workshops on related themes for centres and initiative5 across the UK and Europe, including On Purpose, Embercombe, the Transition Town movement, and Plum Village in France. He is increasingly interested in developing networks which build bridges. and is also setting up a new CIC to develop an intergenerational peer support community in Bristol. Katherine Katherine joined St Ethelburga s summer programme. Motivated by wanting to know how to respond in a landscape of deepening crisis, she described the impoct as profound. l led to the question. con't undo what I now know, so who do I do with hat knowledge?"

The opportunity to lead on successful practical projects gave me an incredible sense of empowerment. The self-confidence gained through this is immeasurable and has impacted everything I have done since.

St Ethelburga’s programme helped me sink deeper. I'm offering more, and that will ripple out into my community

I really appreciate the work you are doing right now. It’s deeply reassuring to know that there you are so on it. St E’s is one of the places I look to for nourishment and inspriation - so thank you.

As there were some expressions of conflict and difference on the retreat itself, I had the opportunity to witness and navigate these situations and to experience other peoples' ways of doing this too,

Knowing that there are a group of people working in this way has been very empowering. The fact that so much effort went into connecting the group has meant it has continued (as a community of practice) and is an ongoing source of support and information.

The programme cultivated the space to actively, safely and openly speak about issues of race and racism, colonialism and its current impact. It helped open others up to thinking about this too as they continue to develop their work

I'm really grateful for the work that St Ethelburgas is doing. It’s delicate, and they do it very well

The self-enquiry the course enabled, is still active and yielding results

Useful practical experience on handling conflict in groups

Caring for a sacred space St Ethelburga s is an iconic. grade I listed building with a unique history. Many people hold this ancient church site, Bedouin Tent and Andalucian peoce gorden in their hearts with great offection, and see it as on oasis ol peoce ond a symbol of hope for the future. Our work is deeply intertwined with the story of this inspiring place, ref lected in our 4th va l ue 'protecting the sacred,. The building is a signif icant asset for us, although also incurs signf ico nt upkeep costs. Duri ng lockdown, the building was not in use for our programmes, but continued to be looked af ter well. With less f ootfall. the wildlif e in our garden thrived! We are now fundraising for a major refurbishment to the garden and mosaic-tiled area surrounding the Tent in order to make a covid-safe outdoor space to help regenerate our venue hire income. This is an exciting and elegont project, in keeping with the existing Andalucian and Islomic style. We are groteful *0 all those who supported our 2020 building costs and improvements, including.- the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Inlight Trust.

Hybrid events As we move into a future forever changed by the pandemic, the way we use our venue and how we host events has evolved. Venue hire Until this pandemic year, our venue hire business was thriving. Since 2016, it has grown from an income of just £20,000 to well over £125,000 in 2019. Our user reviews are exceptional, and we have many recurring clients for whom St Ethelburga s is a second home. This income gave us a high degree of stability and independence, makin9 a Slgnificant contribution to our core support staff and building Costs. However, with Covid-19 the bookings were much reduced and income in 2020 fell dramatically, to just over 10 % of the 2019 revenue. We now have a significant challenge to fill this gap in unrestricted income. We are investing substantially in marketing the venue, as well os developing our hybrid offerings, and building relationships with new clients. In 2020 St Ethelburga s invested in new cameras, microphones, sound equipment and lighting in order to be able to host professional hybrid events (where some of the audience are present in the Centre and others are joining the event online The Tent and the nave both lend themselves to interesting event design, and many organisasstions wi I I need this apacity goin9 lorward. Our staff team have enjoyed he challenge of designin9 creative and engaging hybrid events, using a host of new technical and f acilioion skills. This forms port of a new strategy for venue income. Going forward we will be seeking funders to invest in helping us restart our venue business as well as funders who recognise the need to support core organisational costs for the success of all of our activities and the organisation as a whole.

Our supporters A heort-felt thank you to all our Guardians, Friends. sponsors ond donors who have helped support the vital work of preventative peace-making in times of global emergency. We are 9roteful in particular to the following foundations and donors= Allchurches Trust Edith Ellis Trust The Emergence Foundation Friends of the City Churches The Golden Sufi Centre The Inlight Trust The Kalliopeia Foundation The Kirby Laing Trust The Kitchin Trust The Leothersellers Company The late Mojor-General lan Lyoll Grant Marsh The Methodist Church National Churches Trust The National Lottery Heritage Fund Pool Re The late Roger Searle Shinnyo-en UK Tides Foundation The Wolfson Foundation The Worshipful Company of Gardeners The Worshipful Compony of Soddlers And several foundations thot prefer to remain anonymous.

| Financial review St Ethelburga s Centre for Reconciliation ond Peace receives its income from o mix of sources. In 2019, we were proud to present on income mix thot was diverse and in which almost one quorter of our income lover £150kl wos self-generoted from venue hire. We had built up larger than usual reserves as a conscious strategy for financial resilience in the face of a perceived unpredictobility in the wider landscape. This proved prudent. In 2020, our earned income fell dramatically as lockdown prevented our venue hire business from functioning. Our training income also yielded less, despite ongoing delivery, as a culture of hosting online events for free became widespread in our field. The pie charts below show the change in income pattern created by the pandemic. 2019 Income Sources 2020 Income Sources Restricted grants Donations and legacies Charitable artivities Investment income Othertradingactivities Restiirted grants Donations and legacies Charitable activities Investment incojne Orher trddlng artivities In 2020, we were fortunate to receive two legocies from long-time supporters of the Centre and a relief grant from Kalliopeia Foundation which kept our income stable overall 1£589k in 2020 compared with £573k in 20191. However, the longer term picture is less secure. It took several years to build up our venue income to the £150k it achieved in 2019. We do not know if the business can recover to the same level, or how long that might take. We plan to drow on reserves to support the same level of activity in 2021, but onticipote a greater focus on fundraising to ensure the continuation of our work in 2022 and beyond. Despite much continuing activity, expenditure overoll also shrank against budget. Restricted expenditure however was £245k (compared with £367k in 20191. Unrestricted expenditure wos £254k compared with £207k in 2019. The reducution in unrestricted spending was due to the much lower costs associated with online programmes in comparison with residentials- and also to some projects being paused due to staff furlough. These costs will pick up agoin as soon as undelivered project activity is completed in 2021, and as we return to working mostly with in- person group5 again. hi15 the resu15 show a surplus of £121k for the year, odjusfin9 for the unexpected legacy income the underlyin9 position reflects a deficit for the year of £25,554, even after prudent expenditure monagement over the year.
