The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” issued in 2015 in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity. ## **Structure, Governance and Management** The charity is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and is governed by a constitution, last amended on 14 January 2017, which became effective upon registration with the Charity Commission on 7 August 2017. Trustees are appointed by invitation of the existing trustees and subject to a satisfactory interview. Prospective new trustees are invited to attend a trustees’ meeting prior to formal appointment. The management of the charity’s operations is vested in the Board of Trustees. The full Board of Trustees meets four times per year. ## **Trustees’ Responsibilities** The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the relevant UK legislation. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. ## **Risk Management** The trustees consider the major financial risk to be failure to raise the funds to enable the charity to implement the plan for its programmes. The trustees will be developing a fundraising strategy to address this risk. ## **Objectives and Activities** The charity's objects, as set out in its constitution, are: - “To advance the Christian faith and in particular the gospel of redemption and reconciliation for the benefit of the public, by every available means, including, but not exclusively, through: - (i) the provision of training and education in the principles and practices of Christian relationship, community building, peacemaking and reconciliation; and - (ii) in furtherance of the above, the provision of advice, consultancy and other services, to Christian church leaders, members and others including, but not limited to, those Christians who are members of churches within the world-wide Anglican Communion.” 3 **RECONCILIATION INITIATIVES Registered Charity No. 1174154** The charity seeks to achieve its objects primarily by working to deliver plans for development programmes to resource Anglican leaders, and through them their local churches and dioceses. The current principal offering is a programme entitled _Reconciling Mission_ . This is an intensive development programme for those in church leadership and ministry roles, which begins with a residential learning week, followed by ongoing coaching over an 18-month period to support implementation, action and reflection. The charity launched the inaugural _Reconciling Mission_ programme in July 2020. Recruitment of a second cohort began in the autumn of 2020, and carried on into 2021, for the programme that began in June 2021. Further details are available on the charity’s website: www.reconciliation-initiatives.org. In exercising their powers or duties, the trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission. ## **Achievements and Performance** The period covered by this report was affected by the ongoing global pandemic, and the associated government restrictions in the UK, which affected the charity’s activities in the first half of 2021. During 2021, the charity: - facilitated follow-up webinars and coaching conversations over the course of the year, for the 16 participants in the first cohort of the _Reconciling Mission_ programme; - completed recruitment of the second cohort of participants for the _Reconciling Mission_ programme, with four groups of four participants drawn from the Dioceses of Ely, Hereford and Lichfield in the Church of England, and the Diocese of St Asaph in the Church in Wales, all sponsored by their diocesan bishop; - ran a residential conference at Launde Abbey, from 13-18 June 2021, for the second cohort of _Reconciling Mission_ participants, with two facilitators and several visiting speakers and facilitators; - facilitated follow-up coaching conversations and webinars for the _Reconciling Mission_ second cohort; - hosted four online public webinars, in partnership with the HeartEdge network, on themes pertinent to the charity’s programmes, including racial justice, bridgebuilding across Europe, and the environmental crisis, with recordings made available on the charity’s website; - concluded the monitoring and evaluation of the first cohort of the _Reconciling Mission_ programme, led by an independent researcher; - began recruitment of the sponsoring bishops and participants for the third _Reconciling Mission_ programme, which was scheduled to begin in July 2022; and - conducted a search process for a new Chair of Trustees and made an appointment. 4 **RECONCILIATION INITIATIVES Registered Charity No. 1174154** ## **Financial Review** The principal sources of funding in the period covered by this report were donations from private individuals and income from charitable activities, in the form of contributions from dioceses participating in the _Reconciling Mission_ programme. Donations totalled £46,068 over this period, and the largest portion of these were received without conditions from related parties. These donations were supplemented by a Gift Aid claim of £11,501. Income from charitable activities was £13,900, with £140 of bank interest also received. Total income for the period was £71,608. The expenditure totalled £67,460 during this period. The main items of expenditure were staff salaries, office rental, fees for associate facilitators, office equipment, staff training, payroll fees and trustees’ travel expenses. The overall financial position of the charity, at 31 December 2020, was £168,247. ## **Plans for Future Periods** In the next period, the charity intends to: - complete recruit of at least four sponsoring bishops and 16 participants for the third _Reconciling Mission_ programme in the British Isles, to begin in July 2022; - publish a report on the monitoring and evaluation of the first _Reconciling Mission_ programme, written by an independent researcher; - begin recruiting sponsoring bishops and participants for the fourth _Reconciling Mission_ programme, scheduled to begin in July 2023; - raise further funds to continue delivering the _Reconciling Mission_ programme; and - weigh up whether to develop plans for a programme that might be offered in East Africa in 2023. This report was approved by the Board of Trustees on 3 October 2022: ___________________________________ (Chair) 5 **RECONCILIATION INITIATIVES** ## **Registered Charity No. 1174154** ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF RECONCILIATION INITIATIVES** I report on the accounts of the charity for the twelve months ended 31 December 2021 which are set out on pages 7 to 16. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied myself that the charity is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; - follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and - state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner's report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner's statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. _Nathan Thomas 1 Upper Mount Pleasant, Freshford, Bath Chartered Accountant_ _11 September 2022_ 6 **RECONCILIATION INITIATIVES** **Registered Charity No. 1174154** ## **STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES 12 MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 7 RECONCILIATION INITIATIVES Registered Charity No. 1174154 Section B Balance sheet unrest￿¢t*d lund$ Income fund$ Endowment Total this funds ytrar Total last Fixed assets Tangible assets F01 F02 F03 F04 FOS INoto 91 Invostmènts (Not• 101 Total fixed ass•ts Current assets stock and work in progr•ss Dgbtors (Notg 111 Ishort terrnl inve$tmgnts Cash at bank and in hand Total current assets 12.885 12.885 7.436 Credltors: amounts falllng due wlthln ong yoar (Not? 121 B10 1.964 4.662 Net current assets/(Ilabllltl•s) Tol81 a￿ets le$$ ¢URTent li?bilitie¥ B12 Creditors- amounts falllng duo aftor one year INote 121 Provlsions for Ilabllitlgs and chargps B13 B14 Net ass•ts B15 Funds of the Charity Unr8strict•d funds B16 166,541 166,541 B17 R8strict•d Incom• funds INot8 131 Endowm•nt funds (Note 131 B18 1,707 1,707 B19 Total funds Signed byone or Iwo trustees on behawof all the trustees Signature Print Name Date of royal Moira Aslin 2810612022 RECONCILIATION INITIATIVES Registered Charity No. 1174154 Section C Notes to the accounts Note 1 Basls of preparatlon rhls sectlon should be compleled by all charftles. 1.1 Basls of accountlng These accounts have been pr8par8d on the basis of historic cost (except that investments ar8 shown at market valuel in accordance with..
