The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The public benefits from the activities of FPIN because: - Corruption harms the public. - FPIN develops the capabilities, competences, skills and understanding of Christian leaders with respect to promoting public integrity and addressing corruption. ## **Achievements and performance** From September 2016 until 29 April 2022 FPIN existed as an informal network, led by a Steering Committee. After careful examination of various options for incorporation in different jurisdictions around the world, FPIN became registered with the England & Wales Charity Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 29 April 2022. During the period 29 April 2022 to 31 March 2023 the Trustees met online via Zoom on 5 occasions, and corresponded several times by email. The main activities undertaken during the period 29 April 2022 to 31 March 2023 were: - Organising 2 private webinars (FPIN members only) and 2 public webinars: |**Date**|**Topic**|**Speakers**| |---|---|---| |10 Mar,

During this period FPIN’s income was £1,705; FPIN’s expenditure during this period was £1,701, leaving a balance of £2,256 on 31 March 2023. The Trustees do not consider it necessary to hold any other reserves because FPIN has no financial liabilities. ## **Structure, governance and management** FPIN is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, and is governed by a constitution that is closely modelled on the Charity Commission Foundation Model Constitution. The Trustees of FPIN are chaired by Martin Allaby, who also chairs the Trustees of FIG. The Trustees of FIG have agreed that Martin’s role as chair of FPIN will be noted as an interest and, in circumstances where it could be a conflict of interest (e.g. when FIG is considering grants to FPIN), Martin will provide any relevant information, but will then stand aside from the discussion and decision- making process. The methods used to recruit and appoint new charity trustees are as follows: (1) Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. (2) In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO. ## **Reference and administrative details** The name of the charity is Faith and Public Integrity Network (Charity Commission registration number 1198787). FPIN’s registered address is 22 Poplar Road, Oxford, OX2 9LB.
