## CEO’s Introduction By the end of 2021, it seemed that the global challenges of the pandemic and environmental breakdown had converged in a truly historic watershed. This is not a year any of us is likely to forget. Despite its difficulties, 2021 was a period of significant achievement. We grew our educator audiences through Global Dimension; we grew our Imaginal community of climate activists through our partnerships with Unilever, M&S and Pearson; and we launched our first film, ‘Rise Up’ drawing on the inspiration and creativity of Jonathon Porritt. I would like to thank our staff, trustees and our many supporters for all they have done in recent months. As lockdown drew on, unravelled and then sprang back, we worked hard as a community to continue to foster and cultivate our programmes toward COP-26 in Glasgow. Throughout this period, we harnessed the creativity and imagination for which Reboot is increasingly recognised. None of this was without stress or hardship. Nonetheless, our audiences and communities have continued to grow, rewarding the investment in our digital channels as our principal platforms for local and global audiences. The abrupt halt and shift of Covid-19 has thrown into sharp relief the enduring importance of empathy, community and connection. Whatever challenges 2022 brings, we shall continue to hold onto the primacy of the Golden Rule for understanding what connects us and give us hope for the future. ## **Anthony Bennett** ## Chair’s Foreword Prior to the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, we had gotten used to a comfortable lifestyle, where we could find anything in the shops our hearts desired and travel anywhere we wanted. The lockdowns have caused us to reflect on that lifestyle. Do we need it all? Should we have it all? Is the cost to the planet and to some people, potentially all of us, too big? This is being asked by more and more people. There is a major shift in values going on in the world, and Reboot is at the forefront of asking these questions and helping reset our entire value system. I would like to thank all at Reboot, both staff and board members, who have helped navigate the most testing time in decades, and helped people find answers to the searing questions we face. We are especially grateful for the support of our many partners, colleagues and friends, all Imaginals who have been so generous with their support. As this report shows, 2021 has been a very successful year for Reboot. We have a number of outstanding programmes, events and commissions: our third annual Masterclass with Franklin University; the conclusion to our ‘Good After Covid’ discussion series which has led to the emergence of our latest publication due in May 2022, “Values for a Life Economy”; our education work through Global Dimension; our participation in a variety of events; and building many partnerships. All were remarkable projects, demonstrating the vitality and range of Reboot’s work. As we came out of lockdown, we brought “Rise Up” from the online world into screenings and discussions at the Royal Festival Hall, Theatre Peckham and to the COP in Glasgow where we partnered with EcoCiv (Institute for Ecological Civilization) in the continuance of our Imaginal Conversations, and with the Museum for the UN Live with the New York Times. **CEO** Despite the pandemic, Reboot remains resolved to bring about change at scale, and meet the challenges of a sustainable future head-on. Whatever the future brings, Reboot will continue to help lead the way. **Kim Polman Co-Founder & Chair** 4 5 ## Who we are Reboot the Future reminds us of the tools we already have to move towards a better and more compassionate future - for everyone. We start with an ancient and simple message, the Golden Rule: ## to treat others and the planet as you’d like to be treated. We broadcast that message in every aspect of our lives, from our families to our infrastructure, with the knowledge that if we have the courage to tune in, it will become our common universal frequency that progresses us towards a better future. Reboot the Future is about possibility, hope and courage. In a year dominated by Covid 19 and where global leaders gathered in the UK for the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), we asked the question: how will you reboot the future? We asked this online, and in person, in classrooms and in the halls of power. We used: 1. Campaigns 2. Education 3. Conversation We listened and we connected leaders and young people from around the world in spaces where compassion, learning and action could flourish. 6 7 ## Xiomara Acevedo Xiomara Acevedo is a climate change activist and social entrepreneur from Colombia. She is the founder and director of Barranquilla+20 – a youth-led organisation whose mission is to educate youth on climate change, biodiversity and water. Xiomara was one of nine global young activists who took over Unilever’s instagram during COP26 as part of our Reboot COP26 campaign. She says ‘I’ve been an active climate activist since 2012 because words are not enough to protect ecosystems and biodiversity.’ Imaginal cells are the innate cells in the caterpillar that hold the vision of the butterfly. They come alive in the cocoon as the caterpillar decays. They emit a common frequency so that they find each other, which allows them to form into the beautiful butterfly. Many people around the world are emitting the common frequency of the Golden Rule, **treat others and the planet as you’d wish to be treated.** By living this principle, these individuals and organisations, with courage and hope, work towards a compassionate and sustainable world. We call these individuals **Imaginals** . Reboot has been growing this group of transformative imaginal people since its foundation. ## Rachel Burns Rachel Burns is a Spanish teacher at Wirral Grammar School for Boys. This year she joined our Imaginal Educators group, offering insight and feedback on our Education Programme. Rachel is passionate about global learning and promotes it across her whole school. She uses our wall planner and resources to structure assemblies and form times, and encourages every department to use our resources to share how their subject area impacts society. She says “Reboot the Future’s calendar has given us a great structure, and my vision is that this will help us realise how we need to embed this within each curriculum area moving forward. Your Golden Rule is key here.” ## Jonathon Porritt Jonathon Porritt is Founder Director of Forum for the Future, a ‘veteran campaigner’ and writer and commentator on sustainable development. The focus of his recent work has been supporting young people in their environmental campaigning. Jonathan worked closely with Reboot in 2021 on the ‘How Will You Reboot the Future’ campaign, including writing a novella ‘Rise Up’ for young adults, speaking at events and providing strategic support. Jonathan has spent his entire career rebooting the future and we’re proud and grateful to have worked so closely with him over this past year. 8 9 ## Vanessa Arelle Vanessa Arelle is Chief Strategy Officer at BuffaloGrid who are brining the StreamSpot+ to Bangladesh, Nigeria and Refugee Camps in Sub Saharan Africa this year. Vanessa co-hosted one of our Imaginal Conversations in 2021, bringing this transformative experience to 20+ business leaders, social entrepreneurs, leaders in education, and young activists. Vanessa says of the conversations that she “loves synergy that starts when people with like minded values connect”. Vanessa also featured in a live discussion panel hosted by our partners EcoCiv and will feature in an episode of the ‘Conversations for a Life Economy’ podcast series ## Dominique Palmer Dominique is a climate justice activist and organiser in the global youth movement Fridays for Future, Climate Live and a member of ‘Bad Activist Collective’. Her activism includes utilising creative means to engage people and campaigning for climate action for leaders. She also focuses on specific arising issues such as her work in the Stop Cambo campaign in 2021. She was noted in Forbes 2020 Top 100 UK Environmentalist List and has been featured in DAZED, and the Guardian Weekend. Dominique has been a regular contributor to Reboot’s work in 2021, including in our Reboot the Conversation campaign with M&S, as well as speaking at numerous Reboot events including at the Royal Festival Hall. Speaking in Reboot the Conversation, Dominique said ‘it can feel overwhelming but turning that into action is one of the most important things’. ## Cherry Sung Cherry Sung is a 15-year-old student and youth activist from South Korea and is one of the 2021 International Young Eco Heroes. Cherry was one of nine global changemakers who worked with Reboot and Unilever to bring stories of climate change from the frontline. As part of this she spoke live on instagram from Seoul during COP26 on how to reboot the future of cities and the built environment. “Thank you for all of your efforts to share diverse youth’s voices for climate action and COP26!” 10 11 Year in Review This is our story of 2021 JANUARY APRIL JUNE We relaunch the Global We launch our flagship Our 2021/22 wall planner Dimension platform, campaign: How Will You goes live bringing connection, Reboot the Future? conversation and **We distribute 5,900 wall** compassion to the **13,000+ views of campaign planners to classrooms,** classroom **resources including every school in 875,000 are reached on Glasgow ahead of COP26 16,000 subscribers social media 260k + page views 30+ campaign partners 70+ partners** MARCH MAY We deliver our final We launch a partnership #GoodAfterCovid19 with The Institute for event and launch Ecological Civilisation our Values for a Life (EcoCiv) to bring Imaginal Economy manifesto Conversations to the world **25 global experts 49 Leaders join a participate conversation in 2021** OCTOBER NOVEMBER We team up with We attend COP26 and host Unilever to launch the a series of events at the Reboot COP26 campaign.

In 2021, building out from this core principle, we collated the following values in collaboration with a few hundred top thinkers from around the world and across sectors following our Good After Covid-19 discussions. These values promote a Life Economy ― a system that works toward the wellbeing of all life on our planet. We commit to practising these values, for the good of each other and the planet. ## 1. Love each other: We promise to love our neighbour as ourselves. ## 2. Care for each other: We promise to practise compassion and empathy. 3. Love our Earth: We promise to recognise the sacredness and fragility of the world, treating the earth and its species with compassion. ## 4. Find more balance: We strive to find more balance. ## 5. Empower our youth: We promise to listen to our youth and co-create our future. ## 6. Educate: We promise to educate in ways that promote deeper purpose and values. ## 7. Be global citizens: We encourage a deeper understanding of what it means to be a global citizen, one that supports a planetary ethos of stewardship. ## 8. Be good ancestors: We promise to do for all future children what we would have wanted our ancestors to do for us. ## 9. Work in partnership: We promise to work in collaboration. ## 10. Build a Life Economy: We promise to build a life-centred economy, focused on being and thriving rather than merely doing. **----- Start of picture text -----**

15 CAMPAIGNS ## CAMPAIGNS ## How Will You Reboot the Future? **How Will You Reboot the Future?** was our flagship campaign delivered in the run up to the UN Climate Summit (COP26), designed to inspire new conversations and to support young people to take action on the climate crisis. We worked closely with leading environmentalist Jonathon Porritt, as campaign advisor, to develop: **‘Rise Up to Reboot the Future’,** authored by Jonathon Porritt: a young adult novella telling the story of three young people looking back from 2026. **Rise Up films:** a suite of five films telling the story of five young people who, over the next five years, each play a role in rebooting the future. ## **Teaching Resources** A set of teaching resources aligned to each film and the book, aimed to support discussion in the classroom. “One of the most powerful and original [initiatives] out there and all ready to go, free to teachers.” **Cindy Forde, Founder - Planetari** The campaign was launched in April, and achieved: **----- Start of picture text -----**

In September, Reboot the Future teamed up with Marks and Spencer to inspire sustainable action through kitchen table conversations. The campaign had four core aims: - 1 To spark conversations between children, parents, grandparents and friends - To increase understanding about climate change and sustainability - 2 - 3 To create a space for people to share their hopes and concerns about the future ## We promoted conversation through: An interactive **starter game** and downloadable conversation cards - 4 To identify actions that make a difference - individually, as a family or alongside a local community. **Video content of 6 young campaigners** in conversation with their family members The campaign was designed to come alive in people’s homes, around the kitchen table, through an online hub www.reboottheconversation.org. A 6 week social media campaign reaching 492,342 people, with 1,255,935 impressions. **A partner engagement pack** promoted across our partner and amplifier network **Events** to bring groups of people together in conversation, including an in-store event for local students and M&S employees in Glasgow on 26th October **A live broadcast** of a conversation with young campaigners and celebrity Chef Chris Baber for a Sparks Live event on 25th October 22 23 ## CAMPAIGNS ## Reboot COP26, with Unilever In November, Reboot the Future and Unilever came together to amplify the voices of young changemakers from around the world. During COP26, Reboot took over Unilever’s Instagram channel - filling it with 18 Reels and videos that captured the inspirational stories of **nine young changemakers,** gaining thousands of views and likes. Changemakers engaged audiences in eight days of live Q&As via Instagram Stories, connecting thousands of people with the lives of those on the front line of change. Through this two week campaign, we were able to: 24 25 EDUCATION ## EDUCATION ## EDUCATION FOR A COMPASSIONATE AND SUSTAINABLE WORLD Reboot the Future’s Education programmes engage learners of all ages to connect more deeply with themselves, each other and the planet. ## Partnership with Pearson In 2021 we secured a strategic partnership with Pearson – the world’s leading learning company. We share the ambition of creating life-long learning opportunities where people feel empowered to take action for a more compassionate and sustainable world. This has included a focus on delivering values-based educational resources to schools through our education platform Global Dimension, and producing and curating exciting new educational content. 28 29 ## EDUCATION Some of our highlights from 2021 have included: Global Dimension ## **Teaching resources to bring global connection, conversation, and compassion to your classroom** In January we relaunched the Global Dimension education platform, with a new, interactive site, improved user features and regular In Focus topics for teachers. The newly improved site attracted 250,000 visitors in 2021 and our community of subscribers has grown by over 2,000, totalling 16,000. We have continued to provide hundreds of teaching resources from top publishers, and have diversified our engagement with our community of teachers including through the set up of a Teacher Advisory Committee. Global Learning Wall Planner **The Global Learning Wall Planner lays out Global Days and celebrations across the school year, to help educators engage their students.** The theme of the 2020-21 Global Learning Wall Planner was ‘Values for a Connected World’ with each month focusing on a different value, and exploring its importance in relation to addressing global issues. The content was designed to be easily adapted and was suitable for both primary or secondary students. We delivered 5,945 wall planner posters to classrooms across the UK and countries around the world including India, USA and the Philippines - reaching approximately 140,000 students. For the first time we produced and sold out of new poster packs to support our wall planners. We responded to COP26 by providing every school in Glasgow and the surrounding counties with free wall planners. Golden Rule Masterclass Our Shared World coalition **For the third year in a row, we delivered our Golden Rule Leadership Masterclass with Franklin University in Switzerland, targeted at students studying for Masters of Science in International Management, and Executive Education students.** **In the Advocacy space, we have taken on a leading role in the Our Shared World coalition, which brings together a large network of actors seeking to advocate for and support the successful realisation of SDG 4.7 across England by 2030.** Taking place across four days, our Masterclass aimed to activate a values shift in students. With a blend of self-reflection, group work and case studies, students were invited to put the Golden Rule at the centre of everything they do, and shown how their ideas can shape the world. As co-chair of the Social Movement Working Group, we are exploring ways to create a grassroots social movement that will drive demand for an education system that equips our society to create a more sustainable, fairer, peaceful and resilient world. The Masterclass was delivered by Kim Polman, Anthony Bennett and Barbara Bulc in partnership with the Franklin team, and we were delighted to welcome Phil Clothier, John Perkins, Ron Oswald and Paul Polman as guest speakers. In 2022, we will focus on expanding our Masterclass to new institutions in the UK and globally. 30 31 CONVERSATION ## CONVERSATION Through our conversations we are building the community of Imaginals - people who live in connection and care with one another and the planet - people who live by the Golden Rule. Conversations for a Life Economy In 2021 Reboot the Future began a partnership with the Institute for Ecological Civilisation (EcoCiv), with the intention to engage leaders in transformative conversations to shift to a system that works towards the wellbeing of all life on our planet – a life economy. Conversations for a Life Economy is a programme of conversations, first private and then public, aimed at closing the space between private emotion and public action. Reboot the Future and our partner The Institute for Ecological Civilization (EcoCiv) have: Held a series of three private, transformative, conversations with leaders hosted by our founder, Kim Polman and high-profile business leaders. Held six live discussion panels (four of which were held in a public forum at COP26) recorded and shared via social media channels. Private conversations took place over two hours with a total of 49 professional leaders and youth activists. Conversation themes were: **‘Wild Love’** - explores a Golden Rule approach to nature, and what it means to accord the natural world with the same respect as we wish for ourselves. **‘Deep Time’** - explores how we as a culture relate to time and what this means for life on earth and our own well-being. 34 35 ## CONVERSATION ## Bringing the conversations to the public stage EcoCiv President, Philip Clayton, has interviewed business leaders who have attended the private conversations in a series of 1-hour public discussion panels; two streamed live online via YouTube and four to live audiences at COP26. Each discussion panel is a guided conversation to deepen exploration of issues that are explored in the private Imaginal Conversations. Participants share the experiences that shape their values and their motivations in creating compassionate and sustainable businesses. 2022 will bring 3 more private conversations, 2 live discussions, a podcast series and toolkit for public use. “I loved taking the time to stop, think and share how we feel about nature and exploring WHY we do what we do. I do not take this time very often to stop and think about this… It was also really good and comforting to hear others relate to how we feel”. **Global Business Leader** “I loved the softness/gentleness of the conversation, the “caring & loving” beyond impact and purpose, the “wild love” wonderful and meaningful title, the possibility to speak out our hearts and minds, the beautiful encounters, the golden rule reminder.” **Leadership coach & poet** 36 37 ## FINANCES **----- Start of picture text -----**

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. ## _**Income**_ All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. ## _**Expenditure**_ 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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. ## _**Tangible fixed assets**_ Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment 33.33% straight line basis ## _**Debtors**_ Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. ## _**Creditors**_ Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method. 7 **Reboot the Future (Charity) Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021** There were no trustees' remuneration or other benefits for the year ended 31 December 2021.

I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) 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: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. 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 independant 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.
