Trustees all have regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit. The charity’s governing document is a Constitution of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The charity is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation whose only voting members are its charity trustees (‘Foundation’ model constitution). Trustees are recruited in several ways, including through advertising vacancies and through our networks and partnerships. We audit skills and knowledge gaps within the Board and seek to meet those needs.
We are currently looking for Trustees with expertise in marketing, evaluation (learning capture, dissemination and research in related fields) and managing organisational growth. Potential Trustees are sent an information pack, required to complete an application form, and interviewed by existing Trustees and the Director. If selected, references are sought. Candidates may be asked to complete an induction of three to six months and work with the board and staff to get to know the organisation before beginning their appointment.

2. Conversations That Matter - Introductory Comments
Who is Your Neighbour? is a charity that delivers development, intra-community* facilitated dialogues and story work, primarily with white people in South Yorkshire communities that are dealing with change or challenges that could weaken their capacity to live together peacefully.
WiYN? invites people to share their experiences, welcoming subjects like race, immigration and culture respectfully and with empathy. This can inspire curiosity and reciprocal empathy, which can disrupt divisive influences and discourses and help people get along better. The charity also delivers training and consultancy for individuals and organisations around the UK.
*with people from the same social group
3. A Joint Message from our Director and Chair
Thank you for your interest in our activity during 2024-25.
In the summer of 2024, violence targeted at hotels housing people seeking asylum had a profound impact on parts of South Yorkshire, among other places. The unrest followed the tragic murder of children in Southport and was stoked by the spreading of misinformation after the tragedy: it was distressing to watch events unfold, even if they did not come to us as a surprise and were part of a wider picture. We are proud that, with partners, we were able to respond.
The 40th anniversary of the miners’ strikes in June had, before this, prompted us to reflect on the ways industrial decline continues to come up in conversations we hold. We produced resources inspired by this, that outline a narrative framework for the journey some people might undertake and communicate in dialogue. A new and comprehensive set of video resources about what we do has enabled us to deliver more, digitally, this year.
In the team, crucial capacity has been added to our national development work and to the management of our South Yorkshire work. A broader and stronger network of national and regional relationships enabled us to continue developing our training and consultancy programmes. Good news about funding included, in March, confirmation of £200,000 across four years from Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
We look ahead to 2025-26, both ambitious and careful - aware of the risks posed to neighbourhoods by global and domestic issues, what we have to offer and our limitations. We will continue to discern our place in the ecosystem of organisations, as one distinctive resource among many available to people and neighbourhoods navigating troubling times, in South Yorkshire and beyond.
4. Regional Impact
Much of our regional work during this period relates to rioting which took place in a suburb in the heart of South Yorkshire in August 2024. Following the tragic murder of three young children in Southport (July 2024) violence broke out across the UK, targeting Muslims and people seeking asylum, fuelled by false information spread online. On 4 August, hundreds surrounded a Holiday Inn inhabited by people seeking asylum. Some members of the crowd threw bricks, smashed windows and attempted to set fire to the building.
Residents inside were panicked and traumatised. Police described it as the worst violence they had encountered in their careers. The events had a profound impact on South Yorkshire: there was a spike in hate crime and increased fear amongst local people, particularly Muslims.
Page 2
Who is Your Neighbour? Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Who is Your Neighbour? was in a strong position to respond. Our Development Workers had already spent time in this area, listening to concerns and seeking to understand the impact of the hotel on the community. This meant that, on 13th August, WiYN? could host, in partnership with two local groups (South Yorkshire Communities Together and Rotherham Cohesion Advisory Group) an event bringing together local residents, support organisations, people seeking asylum, a representative from the Refugee Council and members of community and faith groups. Our skilled facilitators asked two questions: How are you feeling right now? ; What do you want to happen next?
This facilitated conversation provided space to express and process a complex range of emotions: shock, grief, fear for self and others, loss, anger and shame.
“I felt like a black cloud had been put over me.” – Participant “We have lost our friends – the brotherhood we had.” – Participant
Participants could then imagine what might come next. They discussed educating children, a conference for local women to help them feel safer, changes needed in local and national government policy, and initiatives to help neighbours understand one another better. By the end of the event, people in this diverse group were openly supporting one another. There was a sense of togetherness and a shared determination to ensure something positive emerged from the tragedy, with several tangible actions agreed upon.
“WiYN?’s facilitated conversation was incredibly helpful. It was well planned, safe, and expertly held.” – South Yorkshire Communities Together
“I am mobilised into action, to bring people together and rebuild.” – Participant
These events underlined the importance of WiYN?’s development and dialogue work in places at risk of becoming sites of division and unrest. Success was down to effective partnership working and WiYN?‘s unique capacity to hold conversations in highly-charged spaces, transforming grief / trauma into something positive.
Other regional activity has included establishing and developing connections with organisations focused on restorative justice, like Remedi, local councils, the police, the South Yorkshire Combined Mayoral Authority, local MPs, Barnsley’s Migration Partnership, Sheffield’s universities – and many other community groups. A priority was attending community events in places close to the riots, in the months that followed.
5. Being A National Resource
The impact of the riots was felt around the UK and led organisations working in other regions to reach out to WiYN?, seeking to make connections and share learning. Before this, members of the team had been developing a suite of training courses: in May 2024, the full staff team participated in one of our new training courses, thus equipping all our facilitators to deliver that course. In Bradford in July, the reconditioned oneday course was delivered, in partnership with the Jo Cox Foundation, to members of its network.
The increased interest galvanised WiYN? to complete this stage of developing its training offer. WiYN? now offers three courses: a short introduction (online or in person); a one-day course on responding to troubling things in conversation (in person, with a digital version in planning); and a 6-day in-depth course, co-produced with participant organisations, that equips others to make use of WiYN?’s development and dialoguefacilitation methodologies and learning in their context (hybrid, in person and online). A key event, building on relationships formed through Paul Hamlyn Foundation’s Migration network, was delivering, in September, an online session to members of IMiX’s network, out of which important partnerships have emerged.

Who is Your Neighbour? Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Feedback about training delivered so far shows WiYN? is filling a crucial gap in the UK, offering practical skills in community-based dialogue and responding to polarisation in local contexts. Participants report that they have gained skills and tools to respond to harmful or discriminatory comments and incidents, including:
-
techniques to slow conversations down, listen, and ask thoughtful questions
-
a deeper understanding of conflict, including conflict mapping and narrative conflict analysis skills
-
appreciation of the nuance in people’s perspectives
-
an understanding of the importance of curiosity and being open to discomfort
-
deep learning from real-life examples shared by WiYN? practitioners that help to ground theory in lived experience.
“Working with Who is Your Neighbour? has been a pleasure, due to the skills, flexibility, creativity and professionalism of their team. The session content and facilitation enabled people to become more confident in responding to sensitive topics, and to have better conversations.” – The Jo Cox Foundation
Between January and March 2025, facilitators delivered WiYN?’s 1-day training to audiences in London, Sheffield and Cardiff; various team members contributed to the inaugural delivery of a new, advanced 6-day course, designed specifically for team members from partner organisation, the Jesuit Refugee Service.
So far, 100% of people completing WiYN?’s ‘Troubling Conversations in Everyday Settings’ training report that:
-
their understanding of options available to them when they hear troubling things increases
-
they gain knowledge of, and have practiced, how to respond to troubling things they hear
-
they feel more confident opening up a conversation in response to something troubling that they hear
“Valuable and eye-opening training. I learnt a lot about myself and how I respond to situations, which has made me more open to understanding and being curious about others.” Participant in January training
At the national level, WiYN? has been invited to participate in activities where knowledge and insights are shared, such as policy events, roundtables and panel discussions. A panel organised by Hope Not Hate as part of the fringe programme at The Labour Party Conference 2024 (September) is just one example.
6. Telling Stories
WiYN? continues to resist simplistic, blaming narratives that can be used to gain power over and instead opens up spaces in which stories can become a tool or ‘way in’ for people and communities that might be rediscovering or reclaiming a sense of their identity and agency in telling stories about their experience.
Creating spaces for people to tell their story is an integral part of our development and dialogue work, and is the starting point for how we pose questions to visitors at ‘pop-up’ events, like community fairs, markets or sites with footfall in areas where WiYN? wants to work. Asking people to tell us what it’s like living where they do, capturing quotes and photographs, is part of our involvement and presence at events like a community fair and a Christmas market in areas close to the rioting.
Trauma lingers in South Yorkshire following the unwanted / imposed cessation of industry in, for example, coal mining or steel production. This sometimes comes up in our development and dialogue work. Other parts of the UK have similar stories to tell, perhaps related to their own industrial heritage and sense of identity. Timed for release around 18th June, 40 years since the infamous ‘Battle of Orgreave’, WiYN? produced and released ‘ ’ storying resources called It Comes Up … In Conversation , which codifies the ways experiences of place and industrial decline might be shared and processed in conversation. The resource also explores how trauma caused by industrial decline might increase vulnerability to divisive, blaming narratives.

for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
As WiYN?s services are in greater demand, there is a greater need for quality digital resources as we communicate our learning and experience with others. In the autumn, team members completed work on a series of in-depth videos about the charity, since used in training and other events. A trailer capturing the 3 key principles upon which our (dialogue) work is founded was completed in March 2025.
An emerging partnership with LUNG theatre saw stories from members of WiYN?’s team featured in its Calling Barnsley project.

Financial Review
Income
During the twelve months ended 31st March 2025, WiYN? received income totalling £108,374 (2024- £134,245). Within this figure, grant income reduced to £101,851 (2024- £128,570), which was the main reason for the fall in income this year.
Expenditure
In the year to 31 March 2025, WiYN? incurred expenditure totalling £137,977 (2024- £114,458). The increase in expenditure in the year was mainly due to an increase in staffi ng costs due to the addition of a part-time sta ff member and due to an increase in training costs in the year.
£29,603 (surplus of £19,787 in 2024) which decreased the total fund balances from £102,723 at 31st March 2024 to £73,120 at 31st March 2025.
As at 31 March 2025, the balance within restricted funds totalled £31,094 (2024 £77,555) and the balance within unrestricted funds totalled £42,026 (2024 £25,168.)

Who is Your Neighbour? Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
Reserves policy
Who is Your Neighbour?’s reserves policy is to maintain a contingency reserve, in order to provide for closing down costs and unbudgeted staffi ng costs, as well as to fill gaps between grants, grasp new opportunities and pilot innovative work. We manage contingencies both by setting aside reserves and by building flexibility into our costs.
As a going concern, there are a number of staffi ng-related events that could occur during a year that are generally not budgeted for and would be typically funded from reserves. The main one would be backfilling a staff role because of sickness.
ff salaries and some overheads, such as phone costs, IT support, web subscriptions, finance. These currently amount to just over £100,000 and we expect them to rise roughly in line with inflation each year.
a range of freelance roles, and project costs such as comms costs, IT development, evaluation, fundraising. We have some activity we have to deliver to meet funder requirements, and we have to meet costs to deliver activity to generate earned income.We have a number of variable overheads such as room hire, travel expenses, offi ce costs etc.
Our unrestricted resources include:
Earned income from training and consultancy Accumulated cash built up in past years Donations Unrestricted grants
We aim to maintain unrestricted reserves of at least six months of expected expenditure, taking account of fluctuations as we spend unrestricted grants and adjust variable costs. Unrestricted reserves at 31 March 2025 amounted to three months of expected expenditure. We anticipate that reserve levels will increase in the coming years as we implement our strategic priorities.
