In this report the trustees od Rethinking Conflict present a summary of its purpose, governance, activities, achievements and finances for the financial year 31 December 2024. The charity is a regristered charity and hence the report and results are presented in a form which complies with the requirements of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and, although not obliged to comply with the statement of Reccomended Practice applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102, the organisation has implemented its recommendation where relevant in these financial statements. 

## **Appointment of Trustees** 

The Trustees of Rethinking Conflict meet four times a year, with an AGM held in May/June. The Trustees recruit and select new Trustees as needed.  They are recruited on the relevance of their knowledge, skills and experience, and their potential to be able to make a helpful contribution to the governance of the organisation.  Trustees serve one year and may be reelected at the AGM. 

The Rev. David Kerr retired in February 2024 and we are deeply grateful for her wisdom and guidance since the organisation’s inception. He was replaced by John McGrath. 

## **Charity Purpose** 

Rethinking Conflict aims to work in current zones of conflict and post conflict using the principles of conflict transformation, peace building and reconciliation to develop new and lasting relationships.  We also work with individuals and organisations in the area of dealing with conflicted situations. 

We currently work in three main geographic spaces – Northern Ireland, the Middle East (Israel and Palestine) and the United States of America. 

The overall direct benefit from our work is increased dialogue and discussion between people from different religious, cultural and/or racial backgrounds, leading to greater understanding, tolerance and acceptance, which results in meaningful relationships and reconciliation. 

## **Activities and Achievements** 

In setting RTC’s objectives and planning our activities the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland’s guidance on public benefit to ensure that the activities help to achieve the charity’s purposes and provide a benefit to the beneficiaries.

## **Trustees' Annual Report (continued)** 

## **Activities and Achievements continued…** 

2024 was a very strategic and busy year for our organisation, our global networks are increasing on a regular basis, there is immense interest globally in the NI peace process and we have hosted this year some very significant groups looking at lesson form the NI peace process. The highlights of the year included: 

Our Dialogue Weekends continue to go exceptionally well.  These are quiet below the radar conversations with those in the Republic of Ireland, these conversations have been exceptional in the last year, dealing with some of the protracted and outstanding issues of our peace process and we’re very positive and constructive. 

The growth and ongoing development of our Compass Points dialogue group, which is now numbering up to 100 people from across the island of Ireland. We debated and  wrestled with a number of issues in 2024, from the scourge of drugs post conflict, in May President Jimmy Carter’s Centre sent a sizeable delegation of both Republicans and Democrats, from a political and faith based leaders looking at lessons from the Irish peace process in contested times and they joined the dialogue group for a full day which was incredibly positive and constructive. We also as a group hosted the Abraham Initiatives which is a leading NGO based in Israel of both Arabs and Jews where we spent a full day at the Skainos Centre in Belfast looking at the institutions that were put in place as part of our peace process to ensure equality, justice, and human rights for all. 

The Emerging Young Leaders group continues to be a real success story for us. One of the main goals of this group is developing and passing the skills of conflict transformation and peace building to another generation. We had several different sessions and evenings together and some examples are - “Impossible Peace” a presentation by the leading former BBC security correspondent Brian Rowan. The emerging young leaders have been meeting with different political parties and putting a younger perspective to them in relation to politics. We also had a session on the Good Friday Agreement, as well as an evening during the Carter Centre’s visit looking at politics and division from a younger perspective. 

One of the goals of our organisation is sharing lessons from the northern Irish peace process with wider groups globally. We hosted several groups from the Israeli-Palestinian region, such as EcoPeace, Abraham Initiative as well as groups from the United States exploring political and religious polarisation. These groups include academics, students, churches, politicians, civic leaders and meetings with a wide range of key actors in our peace process. The organisation was able to make continuing our work in the Israeli-Palestinian region. We continue to support conflict transformation colleagues and peace building in colleagues on both sides of this very difficult conflict and have facilitated a number of encounters virtually.

## **Trustees' Annual Report (continued)** 

## **Activities and Achievements continued…** 

Our main visit to the United States was conducted late summer early autumn. The Executive Director is an adjunct Professor at the Candler School of theology at Emory University in Atlanta. He is also an affiliated expert and partner to the Negotiation Strategies Institute at Harvard university for Israelis and Palestinians and a visiting academic at the University of Central Florida in conflict transformation, political violence and negotiation. The executive director has continued to build a relationship with the Carter centre in Atlanta and is a consultant to this leading global organisation in the area of religious and political polarisation. All of these positions provide us with access and connections to experience academics and experts which in turn supports our ongoing work in the Irish context, the Middle East as well as lessons from our peace process in dealing with our colleagues in the United States. 

## **Going Concern** 

After making appropraite enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseable future.

## **(e) Income continued** 

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would be willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

## **(f) Expenditure**

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of these amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discounted rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability.
