The Peace Building CIO
Annual Report for 2020/2021
It was a challenging year for everyone because of the pandemic and yet despite that, we were able to make excellent progress on the journey to achieve our vision of a peace museum in London. We laid sound foundations. We:
1. Registered The Peace Building as a CIO with the Charity Commission.
2. Opened a charity bank account with the Coop.
3. Registered with HMRC for GiftAid.
4. Developed the required number of policies.
5. Created a virtual peace museum – the first in the world!
6. Developed initial plans for new peace education work with schools.
7. Secured ongoing donations to underpin our future stability.
8. Explored and networked in East London, the chosen location for our real life peace museum.
9. Brought the well-established Peaceful Schools Movement under our aegis.
In 2021/2022 we aim to raise our profile, build visitor numbers, develop projects and access a range of funding. Our priorities are to:
1. Undertake consultation with schools in East London to create our peace education programmes.
2. Develop a ‘Peace Talks’ programme for all ages.
3. Work with partners to develop policies and action for a culture of peace.
4. Explore partners and locations in East London for our first real life museum.
5. Undertake a fundraising and PR programme.
6. Develop our ICT and administrative support systems.
