for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, presenl their
report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have
adopied the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and alms
To advance education and knowledge for the public benefit, in particular but not exclusively by providing
skills and knowledge on the use of earth as a building material through training, advocacy. consultancy,
promoling research and disseminating the useful resulls of such research.
Slgnlf Scant actlvlties
EBUKI started with a meeting. in 2007, of people and organisalions interested in increasing and normalising
earth in conslruclion. To make earth building normal requires more research, more teaching and training,
more standards, more assessment, more information, more networking, more built examples, more
experienced professionals. in other words more of lots of different activities! So, we agreed that an
organisalion, which fostered the use of earth as a building material in all ils forms was essential. We have
had a great deal of success and continue to grow our organisation from strength to strength.
What we do..
increase awareness about earth building
keep our website and social media resources updated on a range of earth building topics
provide expert speakers and workshop leaders al our National events
arrange information gathering and dissemination
work with National and International partners to wrile, publish and set new standards for earth building
techniques
develop accredited standards in training for earth builders
send earth builders, trainers and assessors for accredited training
work to develop a library of information about materials and techniques
work to develop a mapping facility of UK and Irish earth buildings
act as an umbrella for research, development and practice funding applications
participate aclively in a European earth building ne￿Ork
pursue a range of agendas, which make the use of earth much easier
encourage similar earth building organisations in Affica
coordinate with joint research (Currenlly exploring opporlunities in India)
Publlc benefSt
When considering the aims of the charity the trustees have had regard lo the guidance issued by the Charity
Commission on Public Benefit

Opening remarks
EBUKI have continued to operate in a wide area of activities, events. projects and partnerships in the
field of earth building from training, research. awareness raising, networking and fundraising.
EBUKI continue as active and successful advocates of all things earth building. encouraging others in
the UK, Europe and Africa.
Funding and our ability to support and retain volunteers and employees is changing. the past year has
seen money paid lo a number of project officers and execs with more to come from projects and core
funding. Systems for both fundraising and the management of funds are in a state of flux.
Pro
CobBauge
CobBauge 2 was completed last year with activities, meetings, events and. Tom and Emily have
made a very strong team in the management of this project. We attended the final meetin9 in Caen in
March which included technical, managemenl and dissemination elements.
We hosted project partners Francois and Raphael of Parc naturel régional des Marais du Colentin et
du Bessin (PnrMCB) in a visit to the new build at Fakenham. Plymouth have applied for Innovate
funding for a feasibility study on prefabricalion whrch has now begun. we Conlinue lo communicate
with them in hopes of being involved.
How CobBauge is exploited by us. by our members or the wider public is perhaps something we
continue lo work on. A'real, build is now scheduled lo start in Kings Cross for an organisation called
Global Generation. we are c￿rdinating with them the use of formworks, processing of materials and
training.

OlJlJHL
Although the OWHL (Our Way Heritage Lives) Projecl came to an end in 2022 it transpires that there
were mental health issues affecting our lead in Ihe project. This resulted in poor reporting, poor
drawdown of funds and overall a very unclear outcome from the project, lessons learned in best
practice for instance.
We need to review how we manage a silualion like this in the future to avoid falling into similar
problems. Who should lead this review and how it is conducted are topics for comment by the
Trustees.
Hard to reach
Funding has been exiended in particular to Earth Training to Rewilding Youlh CIC in Hull by both
Rebecca Reid and Miki Zea and by Annabel Cameron Duff. This has been another case where our
costs have allowed partners to malch fund and therefore go further. Full reports have been submitted
for these events.
We agreed a request frorn Rewilding Youth CIC for more funding. They have been good partners and
achieved a lot, extendin9 hard to reach from Scotland now into England.
Lets Build With Earth Zimbabwe
LBWEZW has been slow moving. The social media account has been kept up, some online meetings
have taken place. However. we have lost Iwo key staff members al Ihe National University NUST
which has affected how we communicate and this requires attention. On the other hand we continue
to support the Soft Foot Alliance Trusl where we delivered trainer training in 2022. They have had
land granted them and permission lo build a training centre which is now Unde￿ay. This has involved
quite a bit of advice over the year in testing, materials and approaches. This project will become more
exemplary over time and provide a basis for grovAh of our project. We are discussing a further visit to
them in 2024.
Aclivilies
Website
This year saw the launch of the website, spearheaded by Emily and Morgan with other help. The new
web page has a lol of information, resources and potential to build on. In particular the members area
and directory is beginning to take shape under the guidance of Maria Sanchez.
With Emilies guidance Ihe website is being used more and more as a resource for our social media
and other aclivilies. a great boost to our presence.
Erasmus+
Clearly we are no longer in the European system but we continue to meet with our European partners
and have cordial relationships. In the final round of Erasmus mobilities we offered places to self
funding participants and all of these were taken up. We could develop this ourselves and continue lo
send learners in groups to partners who would willingly and gratefully accept them but it is a job of
coordination which takes some time and applscation.
Assessors and the New NOS
Following the drafting of the new NOS we have got stuck on the allocation of SCQF Level and Credit
Points to a Unit. Despite allocation core funds to Ihe task our hvo assessors have not been able to
find lime to achieve this task. However we are now in discussion with Carrington Lime who deliver
NOCN accredited training for lime and wish to do so with earth as well. They were very complimentary
lowards the new earth NOS and we will work together on the credit points to get il published finally
and help Ihem deliver their training and assessment. introducing them to the ECVET work and
training lools we have developed.
Earth Building Europe
We continue lo attend EBE quarterly meelings and try to be helpful despite being outside the
European funding structures. Tobias has attended some of these meetings now and gaining an
understanding of what EBE is, does and how we relate to it. They are looking for a new coordinating
team which we have declined for now.

Historic England
Jeffrey Hart and his technical partner filmed and produced work in 2022. There has been a protracled
negotiation over the scripts. content and presentalion of the footage which by the end of the year
were not fully agreed. This has now been reviewed and Ihe work to complele has been taken on by
Tom. It remains the case that HE are interested in the production of this material and we remain
hopeful to expand this work on the successful completion of Ihis demonstration project.
Training Trainers {JUMP! Aclivilies)
Training trainers is something which has shown a lot of promise. However. we have not gone as far
last year as the year before. Many faculties are sending learners to HG Matthews for visits, there is
inleresl in the lopic but trainerslteachers are not so keen to engage and learn themselves. We ran
training in Edinburgh following the trainerllearner training we did there but the leaching staff were not
keen lo get their hands dirty despile the enthusiasm of the earlier session. This 15 an area we keep
pursuing, 2024 is already showing a bit of promise.
Mou
Yet to sign but everything is in place to do so.
UNESCO Chair
We are currently assembling responses for the 2021-2023 report. We finally saw the 2019-2020
report bul UK submissions were missing. We quickly sought clarification, added our inputs again and
Ihese were well received, changing the picture quite subslantially. The report is delivered in French
and we requested soft copy to be able to translate into English and sent a copy back to UNESCO.
They think the next one will be in English and French!
The reporting process is a useful one, obliging us to interacl with partners to understand better what
they are doing, publishing and so on. It gives us the standing and structure to do so which possibly
wouldn't gain the same response if it were just us asking. That raise in profile is useful as well as
showing how much things are changing, with more Universtties reporting in part due to the training we 8re
providing. This is an area for reflection and publicising through the website and elsewhere
perhaps.
Events
Futurebuild
ACAN were the group negotiating with Futurebuild rather than NBUK and no funding was forthcoming
lo us which has affected our interest in showing there again. We did not show there for the first time in
a long time, perhaps the opportunity to do so should be offered to others?
Clayfest
We produced a really good program online again with the range of speakers and audience from
around the world which online allows. However we still need to start the planning and publicising
earlier not to be playing to empty houses. We capture the events and put them online but more at the
live event would be better for the events and the funding Ihey bring.
Talking Shops are a monthly opportunity for members to join a discussion. ask questions, bring
experience and meel us and each other. It is going well and we need to agree a schedule of hosts to
take it fo￿ard.
Fundraising
Tudor Trust have remained solid funding partners and important continuity for match funding bids bul
have now undergoing a big reslrucluring. The final payment from them has been made but no new
bids are being accepted.
We continue to pursue project funding through education and training work bul should be bidding for
funding lo allow us to provide that trainer Iraining to institutions free of charge. We have invoiced quite
a number of instilulions, building a network and reputation with them which we need to build upon.
Filling the European funding gap still requires serious work, attention and direction.
Bookkeeping
Is now in such good shape we are able to project forward for at least two years in some clarity as well
as support fundraising bids in a professional mannerwhich was previously much harder. This is
bringing a clarity lo what we do which means long discussion at the AGM can focus more on what is
achievable and less on what is desirable.

Challenges
Funding, succession, direction of travel.
Ireland
No movement this year except in sending learners on mobilities. So we have some membership there
but little appetite to join Ihe wider discussion.
Finally
We hope that a live Clayfest will bring people together and give an opportunity to enliven us as an
organisalion. Keeping things going in the current climate has it's challenges. And yet the inlerest in
earth as a material in conservation and new build I would say has never been greater since we
began. We have a reputation for driving issues forward. The big issue now is I think funding, with
money to pay a fundraiser we should be growing faster than we have done and doing more.
The team are incredible and I want to thank them for the persistence, creativity. energy, humour,
vision, good spirits and support they offer Ebuki and each olher in what has been another hard year,
and continued over the years. In particular I want to thank Emily
Thank you all so much, I really look forward to buying you all a drink as soon as possible.
