CHAIR'S INTRODUCTION
A messaqé from Maraaret Cosens
It is a pleasure to introduce The Oxford Group's Ann￿￿1 Report and Accounts for 2023. For a Charity
which carries the strapline of "building trust across the wor￿'S divbdes. the year was a challen9ing one
indeed for lofc UK, as a member of lolc International, as for so many others across the world. We have
witnessed Ihe unbearable news of human suffering arising from the unwillingness, and refusal, to
expbre potential pathways lo peace in every continent. In other ways ttx>, the worfd is changing in front
of our eyes.. in 2023 the global aver8ge temperature wa$ the wamiesl on record," artificial intelligence ha$
become embaddad in our èveryday lives and Wofk,. the five countries of the BRICS bloc admitted six new
members., India passed China as the most populous ￿unty on earth- and the fourth country to land a
spacecraft on the moon.
Yel year in, year out, lofc's own mission does not change. At its core is a decBion to behave always
with personal integrity, accepting values of absolute honesty, unselfishness, love and Purity of motive as
a personal yardstick., while hokJing a wider ambit￿n lor a °hate-free, fear-free, greed-freg worfd". Within
that framework, our vision in lofc UK is to inspire 10,000 leaders who have the faith and courage to
contribute lo a just, peaceful and sustainable world in which everyone, responding to the call of
conscien￿. makes their unique contribution. The focus areas remain geared t¢)ward Irust-building,
ethical leader8hip, and Sustainab￿ living.
I saluts the many members of thè ne￿Ork and fellowship, the Staff teams and the Board, for the
outpouring of lime. energy, ￿MMItMent and flair that has gone into all their work, seen and unseen.
Signrficanl events for us were the acceptance by Professor Rajmohan and Mrs Usha Gandhi of lofc
UKS invitation to come to the UK for a four-week visit, covering a wide range of events. private and
public. We were absolutely delighted lo hold our first Fell¢)wship Weekend for four years in October (full
housell and tsvo truly special feature5 were the presence of Rajmohan and Usha Gandhi, and of thirteen
Visitors representing lofc Boards from eight European countries. An ongoing conversation has
conb"rtued among the latter, aiming lo ¢c￿neCt better with one another across our lofc ts)mmilmenls and
our European borders. To have lofc UK'S Refugee8 as Rebuilders programme fomially granted Institute
of Leadership and Management Icty and Guilds) accreditation was an 8norrrous vole of Conf￿enCe in
the quality of that programme. Another vote of confidgnce was evKlenced by Blun81 University
commissioning lofc UICS Sustainable Communities programme to conts'nue to run a workslream on
kniffrcrime.
11 is a matter of great personal joy that at the end of 2023 Denis NowLgn accepted the ro￿ of Executive
Director of lofc UK. The Board had consistently supported the view that, despite the long gap, we wouk
appoint only when we were uniledly clear that we had found the right person for the job. Denis retired in
2022 as Managing Editor of BBC Radio 4 and Radio 3. Earlier in his career he radio and TV
prtsJuc1￿ teams as an EXe￿tiVe Produtsr for B8C Religion and Ethics.
I wantto thank all my f¢lbw Trustees, particulady those who havg sth￿d down, for their sellless seNce.
The Board has now been strengthened by several new members. I wish them and Mike Kane. their new

DIRECTORS, REPORT
The Board of Trustees presents its report with the audited accounts of The Oxford Group operating as
Initiatives of Change {'Ihe Charity, or'lofc'l for the year ended 31 De￿mber 2023. The financial
statements have been prepared in accx)rdance wth relevant accounting policies and in compliance with
the Charity's governing document 8rKI applicab￿ law- in parlicu￿r the Companies Acts of 1985 and
2006, the charit￿S Act 2022, the Charities {Accounls and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the latest
Charities Stslemenl of Recommended Practice ISORPI, using Finanoal Reporting Standard 102.
The Oxford Group was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee on 15 August 1939 {Company
No. 3559871.11 is a registered charity in England and Wales, number 226334. The Charity now operates
under the name'lnitiatives of Change. and is a member of the Intemalional Association of Initiatives of
Change, ￿gistered in Switzerland, which coordinates the lofc network woddwide. The Trustees are
responsib￿ for the govemance of the Charity and serve a¥ Directors of the Company. The Trustees who
served during the year arg set out on pages 4 and 25.
The Objects of the Charty, as set out in the Articles of Association. are.. 'the advancemenl of the
Christian ￿lIgIon, and in particular by the means and in accordan￿ with the principles of the Oxford
Group movement, founded in or about the year 1921 by Frank Nathan Daniel Buchman.. Dr Buchman
was a pioneer who reached out to people of differentfaiths as well as many who were agnostic of even
atheistic. He expressed ￿irrtUs7 truths in ways that were unconventional and somets.mes did not sound
religious- although they sprang from hi8 deep Christian faith. The Trustees follow in that tradition and
view all the acb"wlie$ described in the remainder of this Report as pk*lieal expressions of Chrisvs
mmands thereby advancing tho Christian religion in accordance with the Charity's Objects.
Th8 farth basis of Iniliakn'ves of Change is as follows..
Initiatives of Changg 1$ faith-ba$gd in ils work and lif8style and is open to all.
Frank Buchman's aim from the beginning was to help each person find their calling. He invited everyone
to face the wr￿g in their lives in the light of absolute moral standards. to ask for forgiveness, to make
apprcpriate restitution, and lo surrender their seif-will to God or the highest they knew.
For many, the result of this spirilual cleansing has been lo trigger a life-bng sense of liberation ar
renewdl. Daily morning quiet limes refresh this experierbce and give dIrect￿n. Fri)m this wmes the
transformation of relationships, new energy, and clarity about wrpose in life.
This approach ha8 become an effective basigfor people of different culture8 and belief8 to work together
lo respond lo urgent workj needs. Initiatives of Change is a challenge to everyone lo live this out and to
exprèss their experEnces sgnwtively as an enrichment to others.

Put)lic Benefit
In Compli￿Ce with their duty under the Charities Act 2011, the Trustees have had due regard lo
guidan￿ on public bgnefil published by the Charity Commission. In particular, the Ael requires the
Trustee8 lo explain how the activities of the Charity benefit the public or 8 section of it.
The Trustees believe that the cofe purpose of Initralives of Change- to help individuals search for G¢)I'5
plan for their lives," lo live by the highest values.. and to find a sense of calling about their contributKJn to
the worfd- is, intrinsically, of benef(t lo society. As Henry Drummnd, author of The Greatest Thing in
the Wortd. put it.. 'Nexi to losing the sense of a personal Christ, the worst evil that can befall a Christian is
lo have no Sense of anything e15e...The first great epoeh in a Christian's life, after the awe arKI wonder
of its dawn, is when there breaks into his mind some Sense that Christ has a purpose for mankind., Faith
is important. not just for ils value lo the individual but because it is often the molivaling factor in enabling
people lo lum their lives around,. and equipping Iham to make significant contributions to society. More
speafic benefits to the PLt)lic are demonstrated. implicitly or explicitly, under the various sections of the
report of actiMb"es. It is the Trustees, aim constantly to seek ways lo illciease the effecliveness and
impact of the Charity, so as to expand its benefiaal effects as wdely as possible.
Trustees con5ideT the prinaples sel out in the Charty Govemanc£ Code, refreshed al the end of 2020,

person who subscribes lo and promotes the charitable 0￿.ects and demonstrates their adheren￿ lo the
Ch81ity's ethos, may become 8 member of the Company. subject to nomination by existing members

mltlgats.ng and Responding to Rlsk
Initiatives of Change UK consders that it has a moral obligation to promote safe practices and accepts
that we cannot ever be risk-free. Some of the environments where Initiatives of Change UK works have
inherent risks and we work hard to pre-empt, mitigats, and manage any potential risk Many extern?1
risks are outside our direct control. so our aim 1$ always to mitigate the potential Thpact of risks that
could arise.
We recognise that risk m8nagemenl is not a stand-alone activity that is separate from our main activities,
and we aim to embed risk management in lofc UK'$ key decision-making processes and all our
activities.
The Trustees eonsider that they have identified the main risks that lofc UK faees. Appropriate systems
lo miligale risk are continuously under review. We consider that how we manage all types of risk (for
instsnce, financial, operational, reputath)nal. govemance and eompltancel. induding the implementation
of agreed act•)n$ and procedures, will reduce the p)lential harm of these risks lo acceptabk levels.
Significant risks are compilgj on a risk register which is reviewgj by the Audit and Risk Cornmittee. The
Trustee Board Gonsiders risk fomially an annual basis, however emergent and significant risks a
discussed on a rolling basis. We continue to invest our resources in wothng to reduce risk in our day-lo-
day work. As part of our ongoing commitsnent lo risk vigilance, several risks remain as a standing item
on our significant risks lisL
