THE BRITISH PILGRIMAGE TRUST (CIO) TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2022

The British Pilgrimage Trust CIO

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Mission and aims:

The British Pilgrimage Trust CIO (The BPT) aims to promote pilgrimage in Britain by helping to develop and publicise new and old paths as well as the practice of pilgrimage itself by making it open to all.

The surge in public interest in pilgrimage in recent years gives us an exceptional opportunity to build on this momentum and to encourage more people to discover the benefits of pilgrimage.

We are now at a pivotal point where we need to invest in our physical and digital presence. We will increase our Physical presence on the ground through partnering with local organisations and communities to ensure people have opportunities to practice pilgrimage, whoever and wherever they are. Regarding Digital , we will give more pilgrims – at no cost to them – the tools they need to make pilgrimage by providing practical tips, access to hundreds of routes and inspiration.

We: provide free access to a pilgrim route network that currently has over 250 routes across Britain with maps, photos and info; and a Britain-wide Sanctuary low-cost pilgrim hostel accommodation network;

provide online guides to introduce concepts, logistics and practices to help you make your own pilgrimage;

publish our book Britain’s Pilgrim Places (600 places and 100 routes), and promote other guidebooks;

communicate the way pilgrimage answers modern needs;

form an online community of pilgrims and BPT Friends, and also work with local communities on the ground.

Significant activities:

In 2022 we have been developing our long-term strategy. We have probed how the BPT can add most value to the wonderful pilgrimage work which is now springing up ‘grass-rootsstyle’ in many parts of Britain. As a result, we are now focussed on becoming the best platform to promote pilgrimage in Britain, in all its forms.

We have focused in recent years on a hybrid model of being a general promoter of pilgrim routes all over Britain, whilst also establishing specific local routes such as the Old Way from Southampton to Canterbury, and the Wexford-Pembrokeshire Pilgrim Way. We will continue to facilitate the creation of new routes but will shift focus towards improving our overall digital presence.

2022’s developments have reflected this new thinking, which is that our objective is to get people out of their homes and onto pilgrim paths so they can be transformed by the pilgrimage experience. Therefore, we aim to:

Inspire: redefine pilgrimage to make it appeal to everyone and communicate the benefits to everyone. Activity : Redesign website, conduct research on mental and physical health

for the year ended 31 December 2022

benefits and monitor pilgrim activity on the ground.

Inform: plug people into the world of pilgrimage and show them routes. Activity : Build online guides & continue printing our Britain’s Pilgrim Places book. We pledged in November 2022 to make resources available for free to encourage as many people as possible to make pilgrimage. To this end, we removed the paid subscription barrier to the Old Way Online Guide and the Sanctuary Network.

(We also pledged in November 2022 to make resources available for free to encourage as many people as possible to make pilgrimage, as that is our main goal moving forward. To this end, we removed the paid subscription barrier to the Old Way Online Guide and Sanctuary Network. This will require us to raise funds from other sources.)

Plan a pilgrimage: show accommodation, travel logistics and connect to a community. Activity: Grow Sanctuary network offering pilgrims low-cost community-run accommodation in churches, church, and village halls & and partnering with Independent Hostels and Youth Hostel Association.

(From a mass participation perspective, the lack of low-cost walking accommodation across Britain will hold many back from setting out on a path.)

Make pilgrimage: create navigation & location-specific content, show guiding options and deliver a passport. Activity: upload our routes to smartphone walking apps & invest in the Route Champions network, i.e., regional teams of active pilgrimage promoters, affiliated with the BPT to build pilgrimage participation in their region. (We also continued to develop a volunteer training programme for those who want to lead guided pilgrimage events around Britain. This is for guides ‘under our banner’ who learn our methods of leading these events, whilst allowing for freedom of each guide’s individual expression. In 2022, several guides led successful pilgrimages as part of our events schedule.)

PROJECTS & DEVELOPMENTS in 2022:

Wexford–Pembrokeshire Pilgrim Way

We completed the design of the route, led a group of artists and musicians along the whole route for the ‘Creative Camino’, launched the website, hosted, and led various guided pilgrimage and local community events (100+ pilgrims have walked with us), and have created an online guidebook & audio guide. In 2023, we will launch the pilgrim passport, an accommodation accreditation scheme, hold an academic/business/policy conference in Ireland, and help create two new legal entities in Wales and Ireland. The project ends in July 2023.

Old Way

The Online Guide was completely overhauled. Nature content was added earlier in the year, to ensure we are inclusive of those seeking to connect with the land. In the autumn, we restructured the guide, converting thirty-eight sections to fourteen stages, returning to the Gough Map waypoints as guidance and supplying itineraries of various daily distances to accommodate the measured and swift-paced alike. The result is much more mobile-friendly, easier to access logistic information on the move and adaptable to the needs of both planning and spontaneous pilgrims.

The guide is now free to access (formerly it was £10) which should enable even more pilgrims to step out on the path.

THE BRITISH PILGRIMAGE TRUST (CIO) TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2022

We worked with a variety of partners to expand our programme of guided pilgrimages and events. We joined Kent Downs AONB, Hope Walking and Airbnb to deliver a programme of winter half-day pilgrimage experiences, and trialled a sell-out run of silent pilgrimages. We also supported the Kent Pilgrims Festival with some facilitated journeys with bespoke downloadable guides (resulting in 100 new Old Way pilgrims) and the Pilgrimage of the Chough, a two-day guided pilgrimage which brought together the strands of Becket’s story, heritage and modern wildlife conservation to inspire a journey of transformation, and collaboration continues with Canterbury Cathedral to monitor pilgrims.

An estimated six to seven hundred pilgrims walked the Old Way this year.

Looking forward, with a new route structure in place, we are rolling out QR coded wayfinding posters along the route in lieu of waymarking, a pilgrim passport and guided pilgrimages including Sanctuary stays.

National Sanctuary Network & Pilgrim Accommodation

After much interest in the Sanctuary scheme from route organisers, accommodation providers and pilgrims planning to walk a variety of routes, we seized the opportunity to roll out the Old Way model on a national basis, presented with a new website feature that displays an Airbnb-like set of listings.

We have added a further three routes to the scheme as well as Old Way (12 sanctuaries): the Cornish Celtic Way (22), the Golden Valley (Herefordshire; nine, including the first Cathedral Sanctuary at Hereford Cathedral), and the Northern Saints Trail (to Durham; 5). Additionally, over eighty other potential locations have approached us for guidance regarding setting up their own Sanctuary, either from custodians themselves, parishioners seeking to engage their own church, or pilgrims wishing to encourage locations along their preferred routes. To meet this demand, we created our ‘Sanctuary Starter Pack’.

We are delighted to have made Sanctuary open to all by extending access outside of Friends of BPT and Old Way subscribers free of charge this year. We look forward to cultivating Sanctuary across Britain next year and will be actively encouraging the provision of Sanctuary on several routes which rely on traditional tourist accommodation.

To further tackle the challenges of low-cost accommodation for pilgrims, we have also collaborated with other hostel providers to include low-cost accommodation information on our routes, with pilgrimage routes being added reciprocally to their collection of longdistance walking routes. Cross-links with low-cost hostels have been applied to fifty-four routes, as identified by Independent Hostels, also adding Youth Hostel Association (YHA), Scottish Hostels, Mountain Bothies and Hostel World. Other forms of accommodation will be added in due course.

Volunteer Programme

We experimented with a range of volunteer roles this year, exploring how these opportunities could work on a remote basis. Our volunteer guides raised £7.5k to support our wider charitable work. It enabled us to expand our reach with guides volunteering from Cornwall to Cumbria. Pilgrims surveyed gave 4.5* ratings (out of 5) for their experience.

Page 3

THE BRITISH PILGRIMAGE TRUST (CIO) TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2022

We created a range of web-based written, podcast and video training materials along with a weekly approach that encouraged guides to get out on the path.

We are expanding the volunteer guide programme next year, fully supported with in-person training and at targeted locations where we can build teams to cater for regular, silent, and pedal pilgrimages. This will ensure we are reaching pilgrims in all parts of Britain, expanding our audience through variety and value for money.

OUR TEAM:

Fond Farewells

We said goodbye to our Chair Peter Gangsted, who has helped steer the charity since 2016, overcoming many challenges to become the nationally recognised pilgrimage innovator in Britain today. We thank Peter for his leadership and look forward to seeing him again as a pilgrim on our future events.

Sylvia Perrins also stepped down as a trustee. Sylvia has been a significant source of support, both in her role as the Finance specialist, but also as someone with a deep love for pilgrimage and a passion for ensuring everyone can experience its benefits. We would like to thank her for everything she has done and wish her well with her future projects.

Warm Welcomes

We were delighted to appoint our new Chair, Simon Guild, and new trustee, William de Winton, to the Board.

Simon has 15 years’ experience as a non-executive director helping founders build online businesses. He has been a trustee of Blood Cancer UK for 8 years and a fellow of the RSA for 20 years and was previously CEO of MTV Networks Europe.

William has been a valued supporter of the BPT for many years. He spent much of his career following the financial sector. He sits on several charity boards and is a founding Trustee of Unlocking Potential. He is also a founding Trustee of the SpringBoard Bursary Foundation which is the UK’s largest boarding school bursary charity.

LOOKING FORWARD :

britishpilgrimage.org

We will be significantly redesigning our online presence to help fulfil our mission of being the best promotional platform for pilgrimage in the UK. By creating a much better user experience through our website, we will attract pilgrims and encourage them to walk a pilgrimage by removing technological barriers to smartphone navigation. We will improve the community functions of the website to facilitate greater contribution from pilgrims who want to share and talk about their journeys with the wider world.

Route Champions

We are establishing a network of volunteers and local stakeholders to champion local routes, working with destinations such as cathedrals, shrines, and landmarks to enable pilgrimage in their area to flourish. 2

The initial focus will be cathedrals, consisting of establishing local champion and pilgrimage event guides, delivering guided, silent, and cycling pilgrimages, and working initially with cathedral teams to promote pilgrimage through their networks.

Guided Pilgrimages

We will build a programme of guided pilgrimages across the country, delivering volunteer-led experiences including Silent and Pedal Pilgrimages alongside our usual offering. We are working with an initial ten routes and hope to expand from there.

THE BRITISH PILGRIMAGE TRUST (CIO) TRUSTEES’ REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2022

National Sanctuary Network

After a great start this year, we will continue to build the network, improve our guidance, and support more locations to offer low-cost Sanctuary accommodation on more routes.

Between the Chalk and the Sea

We will be celebrating the publishing of Gail Simmons’ new book about the Old Way, Between the Chalk and the Sea. It explores pilgrimage past and present as she makes her own discoveries about the route, the land and herself whilst walking the Old Way during the pandemic.

Regional Pilgrimage

We hope to inspire informal or formal teams of active pilgrimage promoters in their region, affiliated with the BPT to build pilgrimage participation in their region. This is a nascent idea, but we will explore it further in 2023.

Meet-up Pilgrimage Groups and Societies

We want more local groups and societies to grow around Britain which should make it easier for groups of strangers who want to make pilgrimage together in their local area. We hope to build a framework for how this might best happen in 2023 to increase engagement.

Fundraising Goals

The delivery of our ambitions in 2023 and beyond will require us to step up our fund-raising activities. We will focus on:

Doing this will ensure that the charity operates from a sustainable base and has the resources required to deliver its mission of promoting the practice of pilgrimage in the UK.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the year ended 31 December 2022

1 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The British Pilgrimage Trust is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) registered in England and Wales.

The address of the principal office is given in the charity information on page 10 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are to re-establish and refresh the practice of Britain's distinctive pilgrimage tradition.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) issued October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Practice.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following the 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) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

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.

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.

THE BRITISH PILGRIMAGE TRUST (CIO)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

for the year ended 31 December 2022

1 Accounting policies (continued) 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.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which the expenditure arose.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings 15% on a straight line basis

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

THE BRITISH PILGRIMAGE TRUST (CIO)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2022

1 Accounting policies (continued) Cash

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Debtors

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Financial instruments

The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. Trade debtors, trade creditors and accruals are held at amortised cost as detailed in notes 10 and 11. Prepayments are not financial instruments. Cash is measured at face value.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
