Neville Jephcote - Chair
I am proud to present our Annual Report & Accounts up to March 2025. The year has seen some consolidation and further progress, following the whirlwind of activity and improvements of the previous twelve months. As Chair I have been very proud to oversee these activities, although the thanks must go to our very motivated Director and her excellent and capable team.
This team has been growing in Brixton - Natoya joined in April to take forward our Helping Ear Network and Reshad in June, providing some desperately needed administrative support. Sarah returned from maternity leave and we have been able to keep Kayla on after her internship. These were enabled mainly through successful grant funding and a healthier financial position. In Ghana, our team is still working well and are growing their activities. These include stronger links with schools and a greater understanding of CHIPS’ theology of peace. In particular, we are looking at a more sustainable future for the growing credit union.
CHIPS also held a weekend residential conference, taking part jointly with other like-minded Christian peace-making organisations and forming closer ties. Strategically, we have continued to create a wide range of policies, putting us on a firmer foundation for the future, and have started to work on a new five year strategy, which when completed will take us forward to 2030.
My involvement with CHIPS now goes back 15 years, covering four Directors, and I am still amazed at the work that can be accomplished and the way in which God can use the skills He gives us, and bring people together in a timely fashion – supporters, volunteers, friends and staff, to bring about His purposes and work to bring a fundamental peace into communities where this is so lacking.
Alex Cameron - Director
This year has been a pleasure to oversee, as CHIPS has continued to grow and many of our long-held plans have begun to come to fruition. Across our projects, I’ve seen a renewed energy and commitment as we’ve deepened our work and expanded our reach. We’ve built strong relationships with a wider range of partners and welcomed new members to our staff team, each of whom has brought fresh skills and passion to our shared mission.
A particular highlight has been the opportunity to work on a longer-term strategy for CHIPS’ future. As we look ahead to our 60th anniversary next year, it has been inspiring to imagine what the next chapter of peacemaking could look like — both in the communities we serve and across the organisation as a whole. We trust God will guide us in these plans, helping us take the right steps to strengthen and sustain our impact for decades to come.
At the same time, we are acutely aware of the growing challenges around us. The number of conflicts worldwide continues to rise, while global aid and charitable funding are declining. This stark contrast means the need for CHIPS’ work has never been greater, yet it also calls us to find new and creative ways of funding our peacemaking so that we can remain resilient for the next 60 years. We are grateful to have begun investing in this future, and we step into the coming year with hope, determination, and deep gratitude for your support.

CHIPS (Christian International Peace Service) aims to bring about peace and reconciliation in areas of conflict or tension. We have over 59 years’ experience helping communities across the UK, Cyprus, India, the Philippines, Northern Ireland and Uganda; with our current projects being in Northern Ghana and Brixton, UK. We help communities build futures free from violent conflict through practical projects that both tackle the root causes of the division and bring the sides together to build trust and healthy relationships.
Our vision is for a world where conflict is met with peacemaking, division gives way to reconciliation, and communities work together to build sustainable peace.
Vision
Rooted in Jesus’ example of peace and reconciliation, we accompany communities affected by violent conflict, fostering relationships, taking practical action, and building foundations for lasting peace.
Mission
“Being a widow is hard because you don’t have family support. Having CHIPS and the loan group helps me feel supported”

1. We go where we are invited:
We believe that we should go where people want us and in an attitude of humility. Peace cannot be imposed by outsiders upon communities in conflict.
2. We live in the heart of conflict:
= We believe that we must live amongst a communities in the heart of the conflict area in ra order to understand their challenges and = experience their difficulties as well as their — lifestyle. Positive actions/projects contribute to the —— — = diffusion of tension.
3. We take sides. Both sides:
We believe in taking sides. Both sides. We seek to understand everyone’s perspective - to identify completely with each side without expressing an alternative point of view to begin with.
= 4. We’re committed for the long term: —_
We believe that a long term commitment to sustainable development projects provides stability in uncertainty, builds trust in relationships, and is the only way to achieve lasting peace.
4 Core Philosophies
CHIPS was founded by Roy Calvocoressi, a British Barrister, who grew frustrated by the legal system’s tendency to label one side as ‘innocent’ and the other as ‘guilty,’ overlooking the complexities and root causes of conflict. His reflections led him to Cyprus in the 1960s, where he brought together a team to live and work at the heart of a divided community.
Inspired by their experience and God’s heart for those suffering in conflict, CHIPS began establishing Christian communities in conflict zones worldwide. Today, we continue to grow, welcoming new partners and supporters to join us in the transformative work of peacemaking.

Nakpayili, Ghana
The Nanumba and Konkomba tribes in northern Ghana have experienced decades of conflict rooted in issues of land ownership, power, and identity, with origins in colonial-era governance. While widespread violence has been rare, outbreaks have been devastating, leaving communities divided and strained. Ongoing disputes over chieftaincies remain a flashpoint.
In 2011, CHIPS was invited to help foster peace between these tribes. Our work focuses on creating economic opportunities and improving health outcomes while using methods that bring different tribes together, encouraging collaboration and reconciliation. Based in Nakpayili, a small village in the Northern Region, our team—which includes members from all tribes—works with over 18 communities across the region.
Brixton, UK
In 2014 CHIPS was invited to Brixton in response to a rise in serious violence affecting young people. Since then, we’ve worked to empower underserved communities through holistic, public health-inspired approaches. Our work focuses on four key areas: empowering young people through safe spaces, mentorship, and diverse experiences; strengthening families with tailored support and training; fostering community cohesion by building relationships and addressing local needs; and bridging gaps with statutory organisations to promote collaboration and understanding. Together, these initiatives help address the root causes of violence and build a more resilient community.

Governance & Structure
----- End of picture text -----*
Formation
CHIPS (Christian International Peace Service) was established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation by a Constitution dated 10th August 2017 and has the Registered Charity Number 1174527.
On 23rd October 2017, the Charity Commission authorised the transfer to the charity of all the assets and liabilities of Christian International Peace Service (Charity Number 267140) (The Trust). The transfer took effect from 1st April 2018 with the assumption by the charity of all the charitable activities of the Trust.
Trustees
The trustees are the only voting members of the charity. They are not remunerated in any form for their services as trustees. The existing trustees have the power to appoint new or additional trustees.
Under the terms of the Constitution, the trustees have the power to do anything which is calculated to further the objects of the charity or is conducive or incidental to doing so. The income and property of the charity must be applied solely towards the promotion of its objects.
Objects
The objects of the charity are, for the public benefit:
-
1.To advance the Christian Gospel throughout the world, particularly in areas of tension, unrest and suffering by all charitable means available; and
-
2.To relieve poverty and advance education throughout the world, particularly in areas of tension, unrest and suffering.
In practice this is achieved by supporting teams living in communities experiencing violent conflict, empowering and equipping them to make peace and build sustainable futures free from violence.
The trustees have complied with the duty to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
Organisation
The Trustees meet once every quarter. They are primarily concerned with major decisions and with the strategy of the charity. They keep the charity’s financial position under review. They oversee the recruitment of senior staff and agree to other staff appointments as necessary.
Normal operational decisions are delegated to the Director who provides regular briefings to the Trustees. The Director had frequent and regular access to the Chair of Trustees and other trustees as needed. Alexandra Cameron started as Director continued in the position throughout the financial year.

Trustees' Responsibilities
Charity law requires us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which give a true and fair view of the state of the charity and of its income and expenditure for the year. We are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
-
Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
State whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts.
-
Prepare the financial statements on a “going concern” basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.
We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.
Financial Statement
During the 24/25 financial year the charity achieved a surplus of £33,451 (2024 - £20,328), increasing total reserves at year end to £94,727 (2024 - £61,276).
Of the total reserves held at year end £37,286 were unrestricted in nature (2024 - £34,296).
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have established a policy whereby free reserves held by the charity should be set at a minimum of 3 month’s expenditure to allow for an orderly closure should the decision be made to close the charity. At the end of 2024/2025 this sat at £54,694, with the year-end unrestricted reserves sitting below this limit at £37,286. Whilst below this limit, the trustees are confident that this position will continue to improve over the next financial year.
Risk Statement
The Trustees continue to review the risks to which they consider the charity is exposed. Appropriate procedures are in place to identify, monitor, and review these risks on a regular basis. During this year the income of CHIPS increased by 12%, continuing on the improvement in the charities’ financial situation from the previous year. The trustees have identified that the primary risks to the charity are financial instability and, as above, the financial position is reviewed on a monthly basis.

----- End of picture text -----
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they are required to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Under charity law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the excess of income over expenditure for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its activities.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. In addition, the trustees confirm that they are happy that the content of the annual review in pages 3-10 of this document as well as the legal and administrative details on page 2, meet the requirements of the Trustees’ Annual Report under charity law.
They also confirm that the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and as well as the requirements of the Charity's governing document and the provisions of the ‘Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting 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 (FRS 102) second edition (effective 1 January 2019)’

Neville Jephcote, Chair of the Board of Trustees
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of CHIPS (Christian International Peace Service) (charity number 1174527) for the year ended 31 March 2025 set out on pages 13 to 23.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act). The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and,
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the Charity’s Trustees as a body. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity’s Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees as a body for my examination work, for this report, or for the statements I have made.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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.
11
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 fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
