**RETHINKING CONFLICT** TRUSTEES' REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 

## **Trustees' Annual Report** 

## **ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

The trustees present their report and the unaudited the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2025. 

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

The Trustees' Report contains the information required to be provided in the Trustees' Annal Report under the Statement of Reccommended Practice (SORP) guidelines. 

In this report the trustees of Rethinking Conflict present a summary of its purpose, governance, activities, achievements and finances for the financial year 31 December 2025. 

The charity is a registered 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 re-elected at the AGM. 

## **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** 

2025 was a year of continued growth, development and engagement both locally and internationally. There continues to be a strategic interest in our work from a number of quarters both locally, nationally and internationally and as an organisation we are incredibly grateful for that.

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

## **Activities and Achievements continued…** 

The highlights of the 2025 year included - 

Locally, we continue to work extensively in the ongoing process of building peace in the wider British/Irish context. We continue to facilitate a number of weekends in Dublin, which are primarily defined as, quiet below the radar strategic engagements between our two respective traditions, north and south of this island. 

Our Compass Points dialogue group continues to go from strength to strength and numerically we have 100 people on our books for these quarterly meetings. We covered topics in the 2025 year from legacy, racism and finished the year with a very successful conference, based around Sam McBride and Fintan O’Toole’s book, “For & Against a United Ireland.” It was a great way to finish 2025 and with approximately 100 people in the room, and the authors of the book speaking and very strategic speakers from all generations, responding to this challenging, but worthwhile conversation. 

Our emerging young leaders group which was formed in 2019 has continued to go from strength to strength, we have around 70 people engaged in this project. In the 2025 year, we engaged with local politicians from the five main parties, as well as looking at political and religious polarisation, diplomacy and peace building, legacy and dealing with the past and the topic of remaining in the UK or developing a new Ireland. This project for this group which we established in the Irish British context, has completely overtaken our original thinking for this project. A couple of years ago a similar group was developed in the Israeli Palestinian theatre, who are linked with our young emerging leaders and in the latter part of this year of 2025 we have plans in the calendar year 2026 to launch and develop three more emerging young leaders groups globally. 

On the International front, our organisation works in two main areas the Israeli Palestinian region and also the United States. 

In the United States, we work in the area primarily of political and religious polarisation, drawing on lessons from the Northern Irish peace process. We are engaged with a number of different groups, religious and political NGOs, think tanks and we had some very successful visits this year as well as ongoing seminars and engagements. We also spent time in the United States in the early part of 2025 and also in April 2025, where we engaged with a wide range of different groupings and spoke at very significant and worthwhile conferences and meetings in that region. 

The complexities and difficulties of the Middle East region still continue to occupy the minds of so many people globally. It is a region in which we have been working in, since the inception of our organisation and have hosted here in our own context, a number of very significant change-makers and influencers across both political and religious bodies, both Palestinian and Israeli drawing on lessons from our ongoing peace process.

**RETHINKING CONFLICT** TRUSTEES' REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025 

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

## **Activities and Achievements continued…** 

As an organisation, we’ve been very fortunate to engage with leading universities, think tanks and academics in both the United States and in the Israeli Palestinian region on these areas of conflict transformation. We have also been able to engage with leading British and Irish politicians particularly exploring the complexities of the Middle East and our experience that we’ve gained in that region now for well over a decade. Our Executive director has been involved in some very key below the radar conversations particularly, around the Middle East. 

We are deeply grateful as an organisation for the support, encouragement and advice we received from a wide variety of sources globally and we don’t take the interest in our work and in our organisation lightly, it is very deeply valued and appreciated. 

## **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. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details reqarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies. 

## **Financial Review** 

The results for the year ended 31 December 2025 are set out on pages 8 and 9 of the financial statements. 

The total income for the year ended 31 December 2025 amounted to £280,136  (2024: £347,824). The total expenditure was £298,742 (2024: £281,646) 

The Trustees consider that the unrestricted funds of the charity is sufficient and adequate to fulfil their obligations. The charity held £72,012 in reserves at the year end (2024: £67,482). 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The income of the charity is considered adequate and the risks associated with any significant reduction in income is regarded as unlikely. The Trustees are satisfied with the current level of reserves at the present time. The Trustees are reviewing the Reserves Policy in the current year.

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity.
