Structure, governance and management
This is the fourth annual report for the Charitable Incorporated Organisation Re-Alliance, which registered with the Charity Commission on 6th April 2020.
Our governing document was adopted on 30.09.19 and is a Constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. Re-Alliance has a small but stable governance of five directors (listed previously) supported by four staff members who work on a part-time basis. Re-Alliance initially formed as an informal network of humanitarian and development practitioners united by a focus on regenerative practices. Invitations were made within the network for directors and four individuals with a broad range of experience stepped up to fill the roles and were formally appointed on 30th September 2019 in accordance with section 13 of our constitution. In December 2022, Geoff O’Donoghue joined the team as our 5th Director and in August 2024 Gideon Adeyeni joined as our 6th trustee.
Our directors come from employment backgrounds of academia, education, regenerative business and large INGOs and some have voluntary experience in charity governance and development. Our directors invested and demonstrated their skills during the establishment and growth of the organisation including initial meetings, fundraising and pursuit of charity status and recruitment of freelance staff. We have grown our original group of four directors to six, to increase the capacity of the team and ensure a diverse skill-set is represented.
While the directors oversee the strategic direction of Re-Alliance, day-to-day responsibilities are delegated to our Coordinator and three Managers, who we refer to as the ‘core team’. Financial administration is managed by the core team with all revenue and expenditure inspected and approved quarterly at directors’ meetings. Our treasurer has banking access and inspects bank statements as they are made available. With the exception of one member of staff, the core team and directors have been involved with the organisation since its inception, are deeply motivated to pursue its aims and have overseen the establishment and approval of its constitution, policies and practices, ensuring that there is a thorough shared understanding of its governance and purposes.

Financial review
At the end of the period the charity held total funds of £127,123 These break down as:
Unrestricted: £35,753 Restricted: £91,370
At the close of the financial year, Re-Alliance maintained free unrestricted reserves of £30,000, equivalent to 6 months’ running costs. Re-Alliance holds these reserves:
to provide a level of working capital that protects the continuity of our core work
to provide a level of funding for unexpected opportunities to provide cover for risks such as unforeseen expenditure or unanticipated loss of income.
The board of directors will review the above criteria with reference to Re-Alliance’s strategy and Annual Plan and determine the target level of free reserves to meet these.
The board of directors may at times designate funds from free reserves for significant project costs or replacement of major assets.

Public Benefit, Objectives And Activities
Our directors consider that they have complied with the duty (set out in Section 17(3) of the Charities Act 2011) to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission. In exercising their powers and duties as directors, the Board considers that the organisation’s strategies, aims and activities they have put in place are for the public benefit and this is fundamental to all areas of our operation in undertaking current activities, planning future activities and measuring outcomes.
Our organisational purpose is to advance the education of the public in general (and particularly amongst humanitarian and development professionals) on the subject of regenerative development and to promote research for the public benefit in all aspects of that subject and to publish the useful results. We do this by providing educational services, acting as an umbrella or resource body, making grants to other organisaionts, providing training, conducting research and through supplementary education.

Grant Funded Project: Regenerative Settlements
