In addition, a number of people and institutions are affiliated to the Community for various personal and historical reasons, which we warmly welcome and encourage. The constitution of the CCN (UK) recognises the importance of these relationships and links, and allows and encourages people to become individual members of the CCN. We are looking for a membership lead to enable this and grateful for those who have sought to make or renew connections during the year. 

Three new partners were welcomed during 2024: the Eric Liddell Peace Garden at Morningside United Church in Edinburgh, the Fellowship of Reconciliation, and the Friends of the Holy Land. As with other CCN partners, they have fascinating and unique stories which link people and principles of reconciliation, partnership and advocacy for justice across a range of contexts and countries. 

Members of the network continue to join pilgrimages and share information, as well as work, pray and worship together. We are grateful to Coventry Cathedral for its pivotal role as a hub for the network and for its practical support with coordination and communications, and would welcome a treasurer and/or membership secretary to enable individual membership in 2025 and beyond. We look forward to our first retreat, in May 2025, at which we will also explore and discuss how the language of the original Litany of Reconciliation could become more inclusive as we seek to heal the wounds of history, learn to live with difference, celebrate diversity, and build a culture of justice and peace. 

The charity has received no membership fees or funding during the year due to delays in opening a bank account, and has therefore also incurred no costs. There remain no assets or liabilities.
