I am certainly proud to be a trustee of FFWPU-UK

The FFWPU-UK is a charity (number 267917) which has been in existence since 25th June 1974. Being a charity of our size (about £1.4 million income per year) we not only need trustees and bookkeeping but we also need a proper trustees report made every year according to regulations called SORP and external auditing with an auditor’s report and the key numbers of the charity presented in a standardised form.

The trustees report can be seen as a nuisance thing that just has to be done by law or it can be seen (as the FFWPU trustees see it) as an excellent opportunity to show off to our own sympathisers (what we call “members”) but also all kinds of other people in the UK, and the world for that matter, what amazing and diverse work the FFWPU does based on its objects, and how much we spend on various kinds of activities. The report for 2015 was completed some time ago and submitted in its final form to the Charity Commission within the specified deadline on 31st October this year. The report for 2016 may come out much earlier since we outsourced national level bookkeeping and creation of the Annual Financial Statement to a very good financial contractor

It is really worthwhile going through this 56-page document which will hopefully make you really proud of what we are doing. If anyone wants to know what I think are the highlights of this report I am proud of – ask me.

I am certainly proud to be a trustee of FFWPU and to work closely with Gillian Schroder who volunteers her time to compile such a historic record.

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

 Media Relations and Public Relations Department remains in regular contact with representatives of the media and other organisations that are interested in our movement’s work. We aim to provide a culture of transparency that allows the media to report accurately on what our Movement’s work is all about. In that way we also communicate indirectly with the general public about our projects, values, and aims through the mass media.

 The Public Affairs Department which is in contact with political, academic, media, ecumenical and interfaith persons and bodies. The charity’s activities are not political in nature, but it is appropriate to keep political representatives informed and to seek their participation in matters which are associated with charity’s work. The Universal Peace Federation UPF) is the main project name under which the work of the Public Affairs Department is undertaken. This project’s objectives include:

o the promotion of peace, non-violence and understanding between people of different religions, cultures, races and nations; the promotion of moral and spiritual welfare including (but not limited to) good character, the value of the family and good stewardship of the environment; the advancement of conflict resolution; and the advancement of the education of the public, including (but not limited to) in the subjects of human rights, democracy, good citizenship and good governance. o Work with academics in the fields of religion, family values, interracial harmony, ecumenical and interreligious harmony, co-operation between nations, etc. has been undertaken extensively in the past and will be developed in the coming years. o International and national level conferences are co-ordinated by this department on topics such as religious unity, community cohesion, Forgiveness and Reconciliation and family values, etc. Contacts are maintained with the media and assistance is given, to publish books and papers about the Unification Movement, and to arrange the occasional appearance of representatives on national television and radio.

UPF has working groups made up of core UPF officers and Ambassadors for Peace in the following fields:

- Art and Culture - Community Cohesion - International Development and fulfilment of the MDGs - Marriage and Family topics - Interfaith work - Initiatives promoted by partners and affiliated organisations e.g. Women’s initiatives, service projects and character education.

 The Youth Ministry exists to share God’s blessing and the message of Founder with young people, creating a spiritually secure community where young people can enjoy fellowship as one family, and empowering young people to discover and fulfil their calling to serve God and others. It provides pastoral care for young people aged between 12 and 25, tailored for the following demographic groups: • The CARP Section specialises in the spiritual training of university students (roughly aged between 18 and 22), whether the children of long-time sympathisers or other young people, in personal development, high moral standards, citizenship and ultimately the mind-set to serve their community through practical service activities, domestically or overseas. • The HARP Section specialises in the spiritual training of young people from between the ages 12 and 18 (within secondary education or college) with similar objects to CARP while local Sunday Schools take care of the moral and spiritual education of children up to age 12. • Those young adults who have graduated from school or university and are entering professional employment, while involved in the programmes of the youth ministry, also receive training to prepare them for marriage and working life, thus establishing themselves as independent, core members of their own communities.

All three are assisted in their aims by the Education and Blessed Family Departments. The regular activities of the Youth Ministry include small study groups, as well as residential workshops and retreats for spiritual renewal and training.

Department leader meetings also take place on a bi-weekly basis while other meetings include local regional pastor’s meetings, the AGM, a National Gathering of all the regions and extraordinary meetings for special events and occasions (e.g. VIP visits).

Blessed Family Department

The Blessed Family Department (BFD)’s main responsibility is to support strong and loving blessed families and the passing on of tradition to the next generation. The BFD wants to create a community that can support, raise and include all blessed families in whatever situation or from whatever background.

The BFD consists of Co-directors, Ashley and Susan Crosthwaite, Book-keeper Huey Fisher and various volunteers who help with seminars or projects from time to time. Susan also works as a member of the European BFD Committee, and the Supervisor of the European 1st Gen matching System, thus spreading her efforts beyond the UK and serving from the base of the UK BFD.

During the year 01/01/2015 and 31/12/2015, the Blessed Family Department (BFD), increased its ability to serve greater numbers of people and its potential to offer more consistent services, through leveraging the strengths nd within other departments and others connected to the FFWPU. In order to do this BFD joined forces with the 2 Generation, who have been actively outreaching, and creative in their action planning for several years. The BFD also gained the support of increased knowledge, because of access to the Education Department’s skills and resources. All of this leads to the development of forward looking projects that harness more available skills.

CONNECTION TO THE VISION OF THE FFWPU NATIONAL DIRECTOR In January 2015, the National Director Matthew Huish, shared his vision for consistent, joined up working and aiming high. The Education Department (ED), Second Generation Blessing Committee (SGBC), and the UK Parents Matching Support Couple (UK PMSC) joined forces to either merge or collaborate.

ADMINISTRATIVE DEVELOPMENTS Administratively, databases and filing of records, including minutes, increased. Policies for protection and guidance were developed. Planning and preparation for international events and supporting those who would attend, were also prioritized. Kayo Hayashi was temporarily taken on part-time. He worked on the website and building the database. In October 2015 the BFD planned for and later advertised for another temporary part time worker to assist the Director in day to day efforts of supporting the department in the coming year. Kayo Hayashi set up the Blessed Family Department Facebook Committee page (a closed group page), and the UK BFD Facebook page (public access page), and regular meetings were also held in various places via Skype. Because of this, it became easier to keep each other informed, without excessive cost and loss of time travelling to meetings.

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FINANCIAL STRUCTURE Daniel Lindstrom became the Committee’s treasurer and has been working with Susan and the BFD’s book- keeper, Mari Warren, to care for the financial support.

UK PARENTS MATCHING SUPPORT COUPLE (UK PMSC) Chris and Carol Jubb reach out to parents who wish to match their children and also make themselves available to young people who wish to be matched by their parents. The UK PMSC began working with the BFD more directly from 30th Sept 2015.

SECOND GENERATION BLESSING COMMITTEE (SGBC) The Second Generation Blessing Committee proactively worked together to inspire other young people in various ways. Supporting and guiding young people through their lives regardless of religiosity. It met regularly, and supported those finding difficulty in various areas of life; those with children, separated, and those having difficulty conceiving.

BLESSING SEND-OFF In February 2015, a Blessing Send-off was held for Second Generation engaged couples. They also received gifts, including a book about marriage, lovingly prepared by Christabel Hill. This was spearheaded by the SGBC – with a plan to continue after the success of the 2015 event.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE BLESSING INFORMATION DAY The concept of Blessing Information Days (BIDs) was developed. Designed to give a broad view of the meaning and value of the marriage blessing and process. It is aimed at those who are interested/curious about marriage through Matching, and the Blessing ceremony. It also introduces the department; testimonies regarding the personal journey and process from couples; formal education about the meaning and value of the Blessing, and lots of time for networking, asking questions and creating discussions. The committee plans to take blessing Information Days to London, Birmingham, Manchester, Wales and West Country in 2016.

Education Department

The Education Department’s main responsibility is to develop and implement education programmes that disseminate the teachings of the Divine Principle relating to both theory and practice, for both the public and Family Federation members, together or separately.

Strategic Management

 The priority was to run regular workshops for the education of interested members of the public, for induction of new members and for spiritual revival of existing membership. These included:  One and Two-Day (Weekend) Divine Principle Workshops  Seven-Day Residential Divine Principle Workshops  Retreats, special lecture series and workshops that expound other related teachings that are endorsed by the charity (philosophy, applied psychology, marriage guidance, ministry training, critiques of ideology, etc.)

 Additional tasks were to:

 Develop lecture content for national (and Europe-wide) distribution  To build an education team - largely of volunteers - raising new lecturers and assisting existing lecturers to be in tune with current practice.  To develop the ethos and character of workshops and seminars, initiating developments and incorporating those from elsewhere in the Movement.

 This involved:

 Coordinating with other educators or practitioners.  Developing web-based lectures and other ways to use ‘new technology’ in disseminating the Principle.  Developing and supplying supporting literature for advertising and accompanying educational programmes.

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

 Developing and delivering training for members in the teaching of Divine Principle and public speaking  Providing teaching and support for children’s and young people’s workshops (HARP and CARP)

Organisational development

The education area touches the heart of the work that the charity is involved in and as a result is linked to many other key areas and personnel: Outreach, Youth (HARP, CARP, Sunday Schools), Publications, Public Relations, Ministry, Blessed Family Department, and more. This will entail:

 Liaising with and maintaining good communication with personnel in these other departments  Communicating with and supporting the education work of community leaders (pastors) around the country  Attending meetings that review and plan development in these areas, when necessary, and implementing decisions that arise from such meetings.  Developing the department to become a source of income for reinvestment in the education and outreach areas.

The Finance Department

The Finance Department continued to administer the financial aspects of the whole Movement as well as to hold regular meeting of the Finance committee to increase funding for the charity’s programmes involving optimising use of the charity’s assets, and investigating other types of initiatives over and above the currently established, quite steady and stable incomes from property rentals, donations, and Gift Aid claims.

The Legal Department

The Legal Department (manned by people with other responsibilities) did not need to be very active in 2015.

The General Affairs Department

The General Affairs Office (GA) has 2 members of staff. Tom O’Connell is Head of General Affairs for the FFWPU UK and Selina Luis is General Affairs Administrator. The GA Office manages the day to day operational needs of the FFWPU UK. It receives instructions and tasks from the National Director, the Board of Trustees and the Finance Committee. It also responds to the needs of the Pastors and members with up to date information and materials and also works to ensure that information and directives from the World Mission Headquarters and the European Office are communicated effectively.

HARP Sunday Services

Commence from 11am every last Sunday of the month (excluding holiday period, and September 2015 this past year)

The congregation joins in worship song, and hears a sermon aimed for the particular age group on topics ranging from individual spirituality to tackling peer-pressure, school work and family/friend relationships.

This is often followed by sports, games or picnics in the summer time.

Winter HARP Workshop (Motto: Soldiers of Truth) 27 December 2014 to 2 January 2015

This workshop aimed to equip us with the weapons and armour we need to become TRUE Soldiers of Truth! We wanted to become pillars of purity, make resolutions to change bad habits and aim for a higher standard.

‘Prayer Night was a prime example of the many breathtaking experiences I had during my time here’ Participant

‘The closest moment I felt with God was when I was in the older brothers’ purity discussion. I felt God through my brothers; the atmosphere was prefect; I had a warm feeling in my chest. It was an amazing discussion where we could talk about troubling things. I haven’t felt so happy in a long time.’ Participant

st th HARP Divine Principle Workshop (Motto: The Pursuit) 1 - 7 April 2015

The purpose of this Divine Principle workshop was to bring our young people one step closer to understanding the fundamental truths upon which our movement is based and allow them to take home something meaningful.

We were blessed to have had four 1st generation as part of our staff team, including Uncle David Hanna - our lecturer, and Uncle Jeff, Aunty Mitty and Uncle Andy serving as mentors and parents. This no doubt leant a wonderfully deep tone and feeling to the workshop, with an overall sense of a family atmosphere, assurance, protection and warmth.

‘I liken the Divine Principle to a paraffin lamp, guiding our way through the blackness and leading us safely with direction … but just like our faith, a lamp needs fuel to keep it burning.’ Participant

‘I have had many great experiences, and I feel like God has answered my prayers and come into my life through other people. I will continue to look for him inside myself.’ Participant

Every staff member worked tirelessly and wholeheartedly during this workshop, working well as a group, which created this wonderful feeling of togetherness and team spirit. I believe it is so essentially important that as young people we attend Divine Principle workshops, as learning the Divine Principle in depth is so vital to our growth and understanding. I feel a healthy combination of HARP and Divine Principle workshops attended regularly, combined with our own personal study and a good spiritual lifestyle is a surefire way of setting ourselves up for a healthy & happy life. We were lucky enough to have had this workshop during Easter, with lots of budding blossoms, flowers bursting into colourful bloom, and new life sprouting everywhere. What a perfect time to Summer HARP Workshops 1 & 2 (Motto: Refresh) 20 - 25 and 25 - 30 August start afresh, be reborn and begin with a new determination!

This workshop was a chance for us all to reconnect with core teachings, our own life of faith and values and also our true character and essence.

Winter HARP Workshop (Motto: Temple of God) 27 December 2014 – 2 January 2015

The Winter Workshop made me feel like there is hope in the new generation. I saw so much investment, talent, and genuine giving, even in trying circumstances, among the participants. This year we had a good bunch of team leaders and a large group of staff which was helpful. The fact that we staff came a day early to prepare was an incredible help and I cannot even remember how we managed without it.

The content of the workshop was particularly strong, reflecting the theme of the workshop ‘Temple of God’ extremely well. It appeared to make everyone self-reflect about their own situations and how they could go about improving themselves. It was also nice to see a good mixture of content from both 1st and 2nd generation, which provided both relatable and mature perspectives for the participants. Having Matthew Huish, the National Director of FFWPU, come to lecture and also stay for the purity talk was great, especially for the older participants. The message of Keishin’s purity talk; was really clear on drawing a line on do’s and don’ts as well as looking after oneself. 12

“The lectures were so inspiring, nd I like it when there’s 2 gen st doing the lectures and 1 gen because they all have different things to talk about and different experiences.” Participant

“I felt God whilst doing unison squats for challenge day. It helped me to realise the power and ability to grow that my team were seeking for, and they attained it. They kept on going no matter what.” Participant

The teams and participants seemed to get along very well. Having sports on the first day really was good for enabling everyone to break the ice and bond as a together. By the end of the workshop the teams had found their own identities and seemed close. Overall, the workshop was a great experience. It was a time for reflection both of the activities of the year and for everyone internally. It was also a great start to the New Year.

At the beginning of the last academic year Auntie Mieko Davies and her son Oliver Davies pioneered organising a Divine Principle lecture practice every Monday for students interested in practicing giving lectures on various chapters of the Principle. After many weeks, a strong sense of community was formed among the attendees. We were united in our shared conviction to Divine Principle. We all understood clearly the role this has played in our lives, so we wanted to teach others.

Uncle David Hanna, Ollie Davies and Auntie Mieko proceeded by organising a very successful 7- day Divine Principle workshop for CARP aged second generation, which was the first Divine Principle based education for second generation of this age group for many years. This was followed by a day of witnessing and lecturing at our church HQ in Lancaster Gate. This Monday lecture club grew into something bigger, something more special; we soon had a community that really loved the Principle. It was moving to see my peers engage with the truth and relate so freely with one another. I was truly moved by what could be created, and that it was accomplished by an individual with no position, simply a clear vision. I wanted to inherit this.

In the summer of 2015 we were invited to experience CARP in Japan for three weeks where we joined a Japanese CARP House in Tokyo with witnessing activities. We could learn a lot from the structure of CARP that Japan employs and we came back with a burning desire to create a CARP house of our own here in the UK. About a week after returning from Japan I had the opportunity to attend the ‘Top Gun’ workshop in Korea organised by Korean CARP. It was an invaluable experience where I could receive a lot from some of the most inspiring figures in our movement. I returned to the UK with my desire to create CARP in the UK cemented After several attempts to find a suitable CARP house a group of us finally decided to move into the Church HQ in Lancaster Gate, London where we are now occupying the basement rooms. From there we are organising witnessing activities on university campuses and events for guests. 13

CARP in the UK has two Objectives:

1 Evangelism

We want to revive witnessing in the UK through CARP.

2 Raising Leaders

As well as its evangelical purpose, CARP will raise second generation leaders who will continue what our first generation started. HARP members have been attending our events so we see CARP as a transition for HARP members into later church mission life. We hope to organise a summer program for transitioning from HARP to CARP.

Vision for raising guests:

1. Guest attends regular CARP events 2. Teach DP one on one and through one day seminar  Attends two day workshop  Attends 5 day CARP workshop  Integrate into church events  Blessing education  Blessing

The 2-day workshop onwards is organised in association with the Education department and Blessing department.

1. CARP Events

CARP Talks The main event CARP organised this academic term was the ‘CARP Talk’: a public speaking event inspired by the American CARP program. The weekly event is held from 6:30pm every Wednesday. It consists of a public speaking exercise followed by an inspiring talk given on a value from Divine Principle e.g. ‘Spirituality’, ‘Purpose’, ‘Genuine Relationships’, ‘Maturity’. We have found these topics very interesting to students, especially as they don’t get many opportunities to discuss these deeper issues during their studies.

Genuine Relationships - Ollie Davies (11/11/2015)

Ollie gave an intriguing talk based on the ‘Four Realms of Heart’. He spoke about how essential the parent-child relationship is and how it can affect the success of all the other relationships in our lives. His message was that we need to prioritise working on our Parent-Child relationship first. He did a wonderful job of including essentially pure Principle into his talk along with a life experience to make it much more relatable. We had three guests to our first talk and 20 young people attended in total.

Purpose - Samuel Read (18/11/2015)

Purpose is something we are all looking for in everything we do. Samuel’s talk made us reflect on what we are doing in our lives at the moment and if those things are really the best for us. Will they bring us long term happiness or just short term pleasure? Purpose is something that a lot of us may be unclear about in today’s current society as we may feel a sense of purpose through making money or becoming a successful person. Samuel shared his feelings that these things are just tools for us to achieve the real purpose in our life. 14

Spirituality - Michael Schroder (25/11/2015)

I spoke about an experience where I found God in my mid teens. I spoke about how I understood the painful side of Gods heart for the first time. It was truly a life changing moment in my life in which I hope the audience could gain inspiration. I touched on the nature of responsibility. I shared about how I want to relieve God of his/her burden and become someone whom he/she can trust. I encouraged everyone to strive to do the same. We had three guests this week.

Integrity - Dominic Gough (2/12/2015)

Integrity is often something people find hard to define; however Dominic made it easy for us to understand what it means to be a person of integrity. The audience felt inspired to become people whose actions matched their words, people who were honest not only with others but with themselves. We welcomed a nice audience of 22 students with three guests.

Maturity - Y. H. (9/12/2015)

Yasu was a CARP leader in Japan for 3 years. He was an obvious choice of speaker for this topic. He is one of the most mature individuals I know. He gave a light hearted talk that really gave people hope that they could become mature people. He challenged Value people’s - Victoria Ormondconception of what a mature (17/12/2015) person is. Is it someone who is successful? Someone who understands life? Or is it as simple as someone who can love people?

At our CARP Talk events we either have public speaking exercises, where we develop our eloquence when speaking publicly or we have the opportunity to give our own CARP Talk on the topic for that event. It’s an opportunity for us to practice public speaking but also for us to lay down the barriers that we often protect ourselves with and open up to our friends about experiences in our lives.

We had three guests at this event.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

Value - Victoria Ormond (16/12/2015)

Victoria moved many of the guests, some even to tears as she shared a very honest testimony about how she has found value in her life through several key experiences she’s had. She spoke about her father and the influence his life and death played in her valuing her own life immensely. We welcomed 6 guests in total and 15 second gen for our final CARP Talk of the year. We finished with a bang for sure as we sang songs together and chatted the night away over food and drink.

A constant thought regarding care for guests during our time organising these events, week after week, was ‘What is the next step?’, ‘Where do we go from here?’. This event is very much a gateway event for students to experience the Principle. But how exactly we bridge the gap between the CARP talk and DP lecturing is another question. The CARP Talk is an event that builds relationships with people; it also makes people think more We hadwhile deeply 6 guests. developing public speaking skills. We’ve concluded that a 1-on1 character education mentoring scheme may very well be a good link to the DP lectures. We will implement this in 2016.

Share Your Passion The ‘Share your passion’ event is designed to broaden our knowledge on the subjects our friends are studying at university and to understand the new and exciting advances those respective fields are making. Students can share about what makes them passionate about their subject and how it relates to living a principled life.

Agents of Change - Elisa Brann (8/12/2015)

Elisa Brann was the first to share about her studies. She spoke about her field of Cognitive Neuroscience and how it relates to the Principle. She gave a passionate talk about the human experience of mind-body control. She gave us some perspectives into how scientists are carrying out experiments to deepen our understanding of the nature of control. We had a full room of 18 young people.

2. Teaching Divine Principle

Divine Principle Lecture Practice for CARP members

We wanted to raise members in our community who could deepen their understanding of Divine Principle while learning how to teach it. We organised weekly lecture practice every Monday evening, where we heard a lecture from a CARP member. Every week a different CARP member gave the lecture on the next topic. The audience then had the opportunity to give the lecturer feedback. In this way we are hoping to establish a group of us who are competent in teaching the Principle so as to have a large variety of young lecturers to choose from in the future. This will allow us to tailor our lectures to individual guests. On occasions we were lucky enough to receive model lectures from our Director of Education, William Haines. These allowed members to consolidate their thoughts on the Principle.

Family Churches minister to the spiritual needs of local populations of both core Unificationists and sympathisers of the FFWPU. They are also “supporting, expanding and advancing Christian unity” and “winning support from all kinds of people to adopt the teachings of the FFWPU on family values, interracial harmony, ecumenical and inter-religious harmony, and co-operation between nations”. Sunday schools are held in each region and have a national curriculum as a guide. The regional family churches operate autonomously and in line with the main objects of the charity.

In 2015, the 10 regional offices continued to organise their local Sunday services, Sunday schools for younger children, outreach programmes, UPF work, summer workshops for young people and marriage and enrichment programmes for couples.

North London

The North London congregation is spread from Wembley in the south to Milton Keynes in the north and from Chesham in the west to Muswell Hill in the east.

We have service every Sunday except the last Sunday when we either have services in people’s homes local to each other or in the park with a picnic, usually in June and July. We share Lunch on every second Sunday of the month after service. We encourage member to be active in their communities or neighbourhood’s in some way.

The main 4 areas are Harrow, Watford and Milton Keynes and Rickmansworth. We actively engaged in these places especially in Inter-faith activities and social cohesion projects. We have been active for more than 16 years in the interfaith communities. David Rennie continues to be chair of Milton Keynes Interfaith where he and his wife Christa also support and drive many initiatives, working together with the whole community and David can be heard talking on BBC 3 counties radio. Francoise and myself have been working in the Watford area for over 15 years with Watford Interfaith Association. One of our initiatives is “Watford Celebration”, an annual community event, which has been running for 10 years now. Both Watford and Milton Keynes have Muslim communities who work together with us on these projects. Francoise also does other volunteer work and is well respected in the community as a peace maker. In Watford I started to focus on a Peace Garden project working together with volunteers from the various communities.

In Rickmansworth, Susan heads up a local community centre with lots of community activities including an annual event which works with the major churches and other religious communities. Other activities include house group meetings and helping in local community

On a grass roots level, some members continue to witness door-to-door and hand out literature at stations or on the street.

Keiko supports the above and youth activities with regular meeting in her home for teenagers. Every second Sunday of the month we have a Youth (HARP) service, which runs alongside our main worship service.

Chris continues to arrange children’s summer camps which are attended by young people from around Europe.

service. People enjoy staying for fellowship for quite a while. Most weeks we have guests attend the service and visiting members from other communities.

Our young people continue to develop the music ministry. Many people are involved on a rota basis.

Tradition is important in our spiritual life and we keep the tradition of holy day pledge services and celebration evenings religiously. We have prayer meetings twice weekly and ongoing witnessing outreach two days a week. In the summer, we set up a series of additional witnessing action days over a couple of months.

Some women started a ‘Women Together’ event. This is a programme reaching out to ladies in the local neighbourhood. The ladies love coming and have quickly build closeness and friendship with each other.

Following on from the restructuring of the FFWPU UK, we formed a local church council. This was to have a better structure and support system for the running of the community. The members on the local council are people who take responsibility for different aspects of our local church, such as pastoral care, Sunday service, education, volunteering, young people, finance.

We have started a fund to support members with projects which benefit the society. Throughout the year, we have organized various activities, such as: Blessing Education Day Half-term workshops and youth club for primary school children Workshops for HARP students (age 13 – 18) Summer Camp: a one-week family camp full of activities which is the highlight of the year. 120 people took part. We organized a men’s together meeting, where they could share their life stories and experiences with each other.

We organized an 8-week couple dancing course. It gave the couples a chance to learn something new and enjoy a different kind of evening. Both younger and older couples took part. Our Peace Embassy continues to be a place which many local community groups hire for their events. They feel very much at home.

Central London

The 3 CIG missionaries were witnessing every Tuesday and Friday and some Saturdays from Lancaster Gate. They hold a regular small group meeting and cultural evenings for their guests. They have around 20 guests at different stages of education. A few of our community were supporting them but from November, the CARP members led by Michael Schroder took the initiative to witness together.

We held several outreach action days to encourage our community in witnessing outreach with limited results. Joanna Hartl was our main support for the CIG missionaries for two years but she sadly has moved to Swindon.

We have established 7 care groups in our community and meet with the leaders regularly. We hope this will develop well, some groups are quite successful.

UPF is developing well under the leadership of Anthony Okotcha and he meets regularly with a supportive group. Several members actively support the national UPF.

Sunday service and home groups

Sunday service is still our main weekly event and around 80 attend with an active Sunday school. We hold 3 th services a month and on the 4 Sunday we hold 4 regular home services. We have had a lot of feedback on how to improve our services and the Sunday service team are looking into these.

We have 3 regular home group meetings each week for members and guests. Once a month an elder member gives their life testimony to a group of mainly members on a Sunday evening. We have re-established the tradition of celebrating the main Holy Days with the community.

Each group is fairly independent, doing a variety of different things. A general group meeting includes time for scripture study, reflection and discussion, as well as some games or activities.

A handful of individuals within the community actively aim to share their faith with their friends and associates. Divine Principle education is usually delivered through private lectures on a one-to-one basis.

There is a 10:30am worship service in Livingstone House every Sunday morning with an average attendance of around 60. There is a crèche provided for toddlers and a Sunday school for children aged 4 – 10. On the 5 major holy days a holy table is prepared and the community is invited to attend a pledge service in Livingstone House at a time in the early morning that is convenient for those who need to go to work or school. Families in Maidstone also organise holy day celebrations on a convenient Saturday afternoon for families in the Medway area. These families also host local worship services once every other month.

Prayer Ministry

A prayer team meets on the 2nd Thursday of every month for a prayer meeting. During the rest of the month the members of the prayer team accept prayer requests from the community and beyond, prayed for the points requested.

One ascension ceremony (memorial service) was dedicated for a member of the community who passed away in May.

North of England

We are a small community of about 20 families.

Every two weeks we had a youth education/sharing meeting where 8 to 12 of our youth gathered to hear education and have discussion in the home of our eldest young blessed couple who not only host but give the blessing and family preparation education.

Each week we had a Sunday service where 20 to 35 members attend, which was usually held at our pastor Dale Rose’s home in Bolton or, in rotation, once a month at other family homes around the region. A separate service was held for members in Newcastle twice a month, where they hired a building. We worked with the Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP) in Bolton to organise projects and public presentations about once every two months.

We also worked together with the International Relief Friendship Foundation (IRFF) in Bolton and in 2014 three of our members attended the service project in Uganda and Kenya. Our community sponsored them 50% and also raised £2,000 to support the purchase of an emergency Medical vehicle for the Ugandan programs.

£1,000 Sponsorship was also awarded to support Unificationist children in Congo to attend Divine Principle education and other workshops.

We also sponsored 50 – 100% our youth and guests to attend Divine Principle education workshops at Cleeve House and Livingstone House.

A North of England Harp Workshop was held 13th - 15th February 2015 The workshop was held at Hawkhirst Scout Activity Centre, Kielder Water, Northumberland. There were opportunities for children to take part in Archery, Climbing and an Adventure course.

During 2015 we have held 10 Sunday Services and a Christmas Celebration, averaging 9 attendees.

In January we welcomed Pastor Kevin Thompson from America who shared a profound Sermon and Testimony from Korea. On this occasion we had 18 members attending.

We held a Harp Seminar during the February Half-Term holiday at Kielder Forest Scout Camp.

5 members supported the Peace Road event in Edinburgh, Scotland with 2 riding bicycles over the Forth Road Bridge.

Birmingham/Midlands

Development of our Family Evenings and study of the Principles of Peace Birmingham - July to September 2015.

As we continue to try and develop our potential to share the Principle with more people, we have been looking at the balance between informal and formal ways of interacting with one another during our Family Evenings, and also the value of sharing with our friends and guests practical things that we are doing in our movement, as well as the principles behind them. In other words, a balance of ‘words and deeds’ to show that we are ‘practicing what we preach’. People generally find this very inspiring and empowering, and it helps them to connect to and more deeply understand the Principle.

Although our evening begins officially at 7.00pm, people begin arriving from 6.00 o’clock onwards. Some are coming straight from work, so we provide some pizza, salad and drinks. This often draws other people into the kitchen for an ‘unofficial’ meeting of chatting and catching up with the news! Others can also relax in our living room, where we encourage self-introductions and making new friendships.

We rarely manage to begin at 7.00pm (!) but the friendly exchanges beforehand can help to create a good atmosphere, so we don’t worry too much. On moving into the study room, our resident musician, Tom Pritty, generally leads us in a couple of songs which helps everyone to focus together. If there are any Muslim friends with us, we try to sing some gentler, more devotional songs and generally this is no problem for them. Usually any Muslim guests are quite open-minded in order to come to the Family Evenings in the first place.

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

We try to be consistent in having one Family Evening each week, which is no simple task, and to alternate one week for new/newer guests and then one week for our more advanced guests and new members. We have a core group of brothers and sisters in our community who have been faithfully supporting the Family Evenings for the last few years, and also some of our new members will come along to support the newer guests when we have an introductory evening, which is wonderful.

When we have any new guests Patricia will give a 15 - 20 minute talk, with PowerPoint slides, outlining some of the main activities we have carried out locally, or been involved in at the national and international level : social and humanitarian projects, educational activities, discussion meetings and conferences, and especially meetings where we bring diverse groups of people together to meet and learn from one another. This gives credibility to what we then have to say, and opens peoples’ minds to the possibilities for peace. David then speaks for 40 minutes or so, trying to share a few key points which can catch everyone’s imagination, trying to make the Principle relevant to what is happening in our world, and relevant to peoples’ day-to-day lives, but also going a little bit on the spirit of the occasion and the feeling coming from the guests who are there.

A few months ago in July, for example, we had an Introductory Talk with several new people present. One was the wife of a Christian minister, and another a young Nigerian woman. The young woman, a Muslim, had come to study in Birmingham but her college had lost its license, and was refusing to refund the fees she had paid, resulting in difficulties for her with the Home Office and her possibly being forced to return home empty-handed. She was fasting that day because of the seriousness of her situation, and David happened to use her as an example when he was speaking about the mind being subject over the body, briefly outlining her troubles. Patricia had also given her talk about our peace activities. The next morning the minister’s wife called Patricia and said that she wanted to give us £1000 : £500 for our peace activities, and £500 for the young woman to help her with her difficulties !

On July 10th, we had 24 people from our advanced group study the life and work of Jesus, and then 12 new guests heard an Introductory Talk on the 17th. In August, with many people being on holiday, we had one evening for our advanced group when 17 people looked at the special role of women in Providential History on the 21st. On September17th, 21 of our advanced group heard the Parallels of History again with lessons for our present time (pictured below), and at an Introductory Talk on the 22nd we had 15 new guests from 10 different countries.

We generally conclude each evening with the opportunity to ask one or two questions, or make comments, one song together, and then serve drinks and refreshments. We chat to everyone and encourage them to make friends, with the possibility of meeting again next time and progressing on our journey together.

Women’s Peace Meeting “Love and Friendship can conquer Hatred and Fear” November 2015

Following the tragic events in Paris in November 2015, during which almost 500 people, from so many nations and cultures, were either killed or injured, we decided to hold a Women’s Peace Meeting in Birmingham with the title “Love and Friendship can conquer Hatred and Fear”. Our usual broad spectrum of women, around 120 of us, from so many different faiths, cultures, nationalities and social standings, gathered together to share our heart of concern, in defiance of the negative forces at work in our world to create division, fear and prejudice.

Our first speaker, Dr Surindar Dhesi, a lecturer in Occupational Health, Safety and the Environment at Birmingham University, described the efforts she had made to get a small grant which allowed a study to be made, in July 2015, of the conditions which several thousand migrants were living in, in the temporary camps near Calais. This gave a somewhat different perspective to that being portrayed in the general news media.

Surindar and her colleagues looked at 11 areas of concern, such as food, water, dust, air pollution, sanitation, etc, in an objective, scientific manner, presenting their findings to the media and the UK Parliament. Unexpectedly, they had found very few Syrian refugees in the camps, finding people mainly from Egypt, Afghanistan, Eritrea and South Sudan, amongst others. There was very little organisation, and a genuine sense of frustration, hopelessness and despair. The French government were providing one meal a day, and various other individuals and charitable organisations were providing relief in the form of food, clothing, shelter and toiletries, etc, from time to time.

Surindar described how the migrants would save some of the food from their daily meal, in an attempt to stave off hunger during the remainder of the 24 hours but, without any refrigeration, their analysis showed examples of food-poisoning bacteria in a number of samples they took back to University with them. Open fires were a cause of poor air quality, and asbestos was also found in the camp. All of these factors correlated with their findings of stomach illnesses and chest complaints when health checks were carried out. There was limited medical care present, mainly provided by Medicins du Monde, and no mental health provision whatsoever.

There were serious limitations to the water supply, both for washing and drinking, and the presence of litter and rubbish everywhere meant that rats and mice were a common sight, increasing the chances of infection and illness. Surindar described the overall conditions as “pretty grim”, and mentioned that the camps’ population had increased from 3,000 to 6,000 since she had been there, increasing the likelihood of far more of the problems described.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

Surindar speaking to a very attentive audience. and in the overflow extension room.

Our next speaker, Janet King, was a member of the Liberal Democrat Council for Refugee Support. As such, she could share with us knowledge of the political landscape, about the work of the United Nations, particularly UNHCR which is very low on money and therefore in its ability to support refugees, and the different possibilities for migrants to be helped to relocate - as refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable people. She mentioned that the British government has already given a lot of financial support, and is the 2nd largest donor in the world in terms of financial aid. She suggested ‘Calaid’ as a good vehicle for sending aid to the camps in France.

Janet then spoke about ‘welcome groups springing up all over the place’ as a positive feature in the UK, including in Coventry, Kidderminster and the Malvern Hills district. She herself has

Everyone was so focused during the talks and discussion. been instrumental in helping to establish a ‘Bromsgrove Welcomes Refugees’ group, and quoted Bromsgrove as being 99% white, with very few new migrants so far. She said the group is very informal, has 90 supporters so far, and is busy raising money to help furnish homes. “There are so many ordinary things that we can do to help.”

Catherine was our third speaker. She became a Muslim 30 years ago, now belonging to the Clifton Road mosque community and part of the Shia tradition. She recounted the story of Prophet Mohammed’s grandson Hussain and lessons which could be drawn from it, including the fact that goodness can eventually emerge from extremely difficult situations. Her own life experience has caused her to draw the conclusions that:

One should always do what one feels to be right, according to one’s own conscience; We should do good, and support others who have the desire to do good; We should try to feel the pain and suffering of others. To respond to this with kindness is ‘to be alive and human’; Doing good always makes a difference, and gives hope to future generations;

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

Catherine concluded by saying that there is much bad news very day, but in gatherings like this we can find great hope to counteract it, and empower one another to do good things.

Muslim speakers, Catherine and Farhana. There were many comments from the audience.

Farhana, who works at the Al Mahdi Institute in Selly Oak then read some extracts from the ‘Avaaz’ website where people have been commenting on the current climate of uncertainty and fear. Among these were ..”Muslims ..have been the greatest victims of IS, and have the greatest power to help defeat it”. “Let’s answer hate with humanity, and seize this chance for transformative change. For all of us - Muslims and non-Muslims everywhere - to welcome each other into our human family like never before.” “At the darkest times, our light as humanity can shine brightest.” “Let’s seize this moment with wisdom, to bring down the monster we all face.” “Let’s encourage Muslim and non-Muslim communities everywhere to embrace each other, and welcome refugees with compassion..”

Finally, Lucie, who had driven all the way up from the Asha Centre in the Forest of Dean to be with us, concluded with an inspirational, hopeful message, spoken with passion and the power of youth. She described her own journey of transformation during her initial 9 months of volunteering, engaging with other young people from around the world in an environment of friendship and openness, which the Centre uniquely provides.

Lucie sharing her story with heart and passion Older and younger generations listening together

She learned to love the ‘ordinariness’ of people, and how each person is so special. To believe in the ‘whole person’ in a holistic way, and our connectedness to one another. To meet one another person-to-person, rather than simply through the news and social media. To try all methods as long as they speak to the heart. And to believe in one another, especially the next generation.

Following further comments and discussion, with many valuable contributions, we finished with a quiet time of reflection, meditation and prayer. Then, as always, refreshments, chatting and networking which has become a concluding feature of our meetings, renewing acquaintances and making new friends, allowing us to leave with hope and encouragement for the future. 30

A WFWP / UPF fundraising event to support the people of Nepal. “Peace through Friendship” Saturday August 8th 2015

Approximately 200 people came together on Saturday August 8th to help raise money for the ongoing effort to help the people of Nepal rebuild their homes, and their lives. In addition to the fundraising, we held a Bridge of Peace ceremony under the banner of ‘Peace through Friendship’, followed by food and a wonderful cultural programme. Mainly through the entrance fee, and with some additional donations, we made a total of around £1300. The proceeds will be sent to Nepal and used by the branch of the Women’s Federation there to support their existing aid projects.

The fundraiser was sponsored by both the Women’s Federation and the Universal Peace Federation. Adults and children from our local community worked really hard to staff the event. The venue, the meeting hall of Selly Oak Methodist Church, was quite full but with a good kitchen, stage, foyer and children’s room we had the flexibility for a pleasant occasion.

David Earle began proceedings by welcoming everyone and recognising several VIP guests, amongst them Ms Lorraine Olley who was representing Birmingham’s Lord Mayor, Cllr Ramesh Srivastava former Lord Mayor of Rugby and currently Chair of the British Organisation for People of Asian origin (BOPA), Davinder Prasad - Sec Gen’l of BOPA, and Mrs Chanchal Jain - President of the Indian Ladies Club. Apologies were offered for Cllr Yvonne Mosquito, the West Midlands Deputy Police Crime Commissioner who was to have been our main guest speaker, and who had to cancel at the 11th hour. He also thanked Mrs Tina Coombs (WFWP), Mrs Margaret Ali (UPF) and Mr Bernard Chellew who had all come from other parts of the country to help with the programme.

He then introduced Lorraine Olley who spoke about the value of friendship and community, and the need to consistently strive for greater harmony and understanding between the many, diverse cultures, races, religions and ethnic groups in our society. Lorraine was followed by Mrs Tina Coombs who has held positions nationally and internationally for WFWP. She spoke about the importance and meaning of the Bridge of

Many new friendships were formed, and the room began to buzz as personal details were exchanged, people chatted to each other and then we stood to say our Friendship Pledge together. (Photos of all the new friends made are at the end of this article.) After a while we invited people up, table by table, to enjoy some delicious food, much of it provided by arguably the best Indian caterer in the West Midlands, Shankars Sweet Centre. Mr Shankar and his family business have consistently supported our events for many years. As everyone started to eat, Bernard began the musical programme by singing ‘Forever Young’, followed by a variety of songs from our western, Caribbean and Asian cultures. One highlight was Frances Redihough who captured everyone’s heart with her song for peace, and concluding words … “We are One Family under God”. Bernard expertly kept the programme flowing, culminating in the well-known Reggae number ‘One World One Heart, performed by Basil, Catherine and Candice Gabbidon which inspired quite a few of us to get up and dance.

The West Country

The West Country Community hosts our main education centre, Cleeve House, as well as the Farm and the Wonjon (the burial ground dedicated to FFWPU).

One of the main activities in Cleeve House is HARP workshops. Last year we had a Winter workshop, two Summer retreats, a 7 day Easter workshop. HARP is the high school age activity in the FFWPU. The rest of the FFWPU activities last year were: Three UPF events (that is the Universal Peace Federation), 11 West Country Sunday Services, and a 5Day High School retreat.

The Swindon Interfaith Group attended in Cleeve House a one-day event with a total of 16 guests. We have an official presence in the Swindon Interfaith Group, with the logo of FFWPU featuring with the other faiths in the official literature.

The West Country operates an office in Swindon which offers presentations on the Divine principle and the nature of the spirit world. 16 guests attended and half of them study regularly with us..

Sunday Services are held once a month in Cleeve House and the rest of the month in “Home groups” at different family houses. Every two weeks a prayer service is held in Swindon.

Our West Country Youth has been meeting with some youth of the Welsh community for leisure activities. One activity has been canoeing in the Cotswold Water Park.

On the grounds of the Farm, where the Wonjon is situated, we held one of our Sunday Services in the Summer and another time we had a midnight prayer meeting. Because of the geographical nature of our Community, some families live far apart from the others. Barbara and I have visited some of the distant ones.

Ron German is the community leader overall responsible for the Wales community. Each regional centre has its own local leader

Wales region has several centres of activity:

1. Cardiff & Newport - both come under Cardiff 2. Barry and the Vale of Glamorgan - come under Barry 3. Swansea & Neath - come under Swansea

 Sunday services o We hold Sunday services in Wenvoe village hall on the 1st Sunday of each month. This is our main service of the month to which members come from all over our Wales region o We also hold a service on the 3rd Sunday of the month in a member’s home in Cardiff. This service is for all members but usually it is the members from Cardiff and some from Barry who attend and this particular 3rd Sunday service. o Other Sundays members are encouraged to hold their own “Home Services” where they will either hold one in their own home for their family and other invited contacts or else they will gather at another member’s home within their locality and share time together. o Sunday school for the youth and younger children run parallel to the main service at each venue and on each occasion

 Meetings o Other meetings are held in member’s homes according to their own programmes but there are few regular home event beyond the Sunday service.

 Outreach o Outreach programmes involves street witnessing, door-to-door witnessing, leafleting and personal contact invites to events/meetings/lectures. o Supporting other local churches in their programmes o Supporting members’ personal programmes e.g. running Tai Chi Qigong classes

 Youth programmes o The youth hold regular monthly activities which can range from craft making in one of the youth member’s home to outdoor activities such as walking, service projects and fun activities. Programmes usually have some educational content - a talk, lecture, discussion etc. - as part of the ongoing character education which is part of our youth development programmes.

WFWP Wales  Meetings are organised once every two or three months only. This is mainly due to the lack of personnel who can be involved in organising and running the Women’s Federation events.

UPF Wales  Regular involvement in the local Progressive Christian Network meetings. This is a mainly, but not exclusively, a group of Christian ministers and other Christian leaders who meet to share and discuss various issues related to the Bible and current religious topics.  Otherwise there are no specific meetings. Again, this is due to the lack of personnel available.  Attending events set up by other organisations.

FFWPU in Scotland held regular Sunday services at South Queensferry throughout the year. Several of these services were arranged by young adults, and their elders attended.

The young adults also held a retreat weekend near Dundee in January.

Members from Scotland attended events in May in Vienna, presided over by Mrs Moon, widow of the founder of FFWPU, Reverend Moon, as well as an event in London, where Sun Jin Moon, her daughter, gave a speech.

Scottish members also attended several events of Interfaith Scotland during the year in places such as Glasgow, Edinburgh, Linlithgow and Inverness. FFWPU in Scotland is an associate member of Interfaith Scotland.

The highlight of the year was the bicycling event we held in Scotland as part of the world-wide Peace Road. th Fifteen members of FFWPU bicycled over the Forth Road Bridge on 5 July, the very same day that the Forth Rail Bridge was given UNESCO World Heritage status. We were greeted back at South Queensferry by the local Edinburgh councillor, Alastair Shields. The purpose was to promote peace by connecting the world through a network of highways, bridges and tunnels – an idea proposed by Reverend Moon. There were at least seven nationalities among our cyclists.

National Director

International Meetings The national director attended a meeting in Korea during the summer to align with the vision and strategy being delivered by the international HQ of FFWPU. There were also a couple of meetings in Germany whereby the national director represented the UK FFWPU to discuss how to collaborate with other European communities.

Ascensions There were a number of seong hwa ceremonies (ascension/memorial services) and associated won jeon ceremonies (burials) for deceased members of the community in various parts of the country that were attended by the national director. He also attended a ceremony in Germany acting as a representative of the UK communities.

Visiting Communities The national director visited six of the ten communities over long weekends to spend time ministering to the pastors and members of those communities.

Directing Departments The national director had regular meetings with the various departments of the FFWPU, as well as correspondence with the department directors, managing those under his immediate supervision: blessed family, HARP, Young Adults, ABC, finance committee, trustees, general affairs and education.

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

Job Creation The national director created a new education department and recruited an education director, as well as a CARP department and a CARP director.

Restructuring Process

The final stages of a process to restructure the governance of the charity was overseen by the national director. This was ratified by the FFWPU’s membership in the summer and since then the national director has begun implementing the proposals from the new governance document, including the creation of a Council of Communities for community representation and decision making.

Communication

The national director recorded a number of messages to be shared with the national membership, articulating the vision, mission and values he would like FFWPU to pursue.

Financial review

During the year the charity raised funds totalling £1,429,903 (2014: £1,098,038), expenditure totalled £1,167,534 (2014: £1,045,640). There was an overall surplus of £262,369 (2014: £52,398), and the £769,693 (2014: £4,287,951) gains on investments brought the final net movement in funds to £1,032,062 (2014: £4,340,349). The Trustees are pleased that the “Unrestricted funds” were maintained in positive territory in 2015, and the value of the restricted funds was relatively low.

Rents received continued to increase to £899,156 (2014: £670,143).

All other numbers in the accounts are within normally expected parameters.

The charity does not keep any sizeable cash reserves other than a constant positive sum in the bank account to cover eventualities and unforeseen expenses.

Reserve policy

The way the trustees / Finance Committee see the different cost centres operating within FFWPU UK outside of HQ (the regions, the buildings) is that they are all quite self-sufficient and are holding sufficient funds to meet adverse situations (and could even, in extreme cases, be bailed out by HQ).

Therefore internally, when we talk about having reserves, we mean reserves for our HQ operations. If FFWPU UK HQ was heavily dependent on donations / fundraising there be a case for maintaining reserves of 4 – 6 months HQ income. However since about 90% of HQ income is from relatively very stable rental income sources (LG, the Stanton Estate, CH) we recently decided that it would be sufficient to hold 2 months of income of HQ.

This equates to about £70,000 – somewhat higher than the outdated number £50,000.

Investment policy

The Trustees differentiate between earned income and capital income (from the sale of assets) and seek as far as possible to invest capital income in developments which will bring a net return on investment in excess of 20% p.a.

Risk register

Main risks for FFWPU amongst others are:

Estate and facilities: Potential liabilities attached to property including new legislation. Significant costs incurred not included in the financial plans. Failure to comply with statutory requirements leads to prosecution and closing down of some buildings Failure to complete new projects/maintenance on schedule. Disruption to an income source. Deterioration of property stock. Poor physical security of buildings leading to theft or damage to equipment/IT hardware and compromising the safety of staff Failure to manage properties / assets properly leading to public accusation and loss of reputation.

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

Improvements in the management procedures and also numbers of persons “looking out” for such eventualities in recent years has increased our ability to get early warning of any inappropriate situations developing and to deal with them swiftly. The watchdogs include the Trustees, the Finance Committee, the new National Council, the property managers themselves and the accounts function which monitors incomes, outgoings and liquidity levels. Together they cover all of the above-mentioned points. We have also increased our insurance spending on assets.

Equipment, Information and IT:

Major IT disaster - loss of information or use of central hardware, e.g. from theft or a fire, viruses. Disruption to work/projects Failure to comply with data protection legislation. Unsecured information held at department level. Damage to reputation Potential litigation Systems fail to meet operational needs due to failure to innovate or update systems. Danger of loss or stealing of information through hacking.

Apart from corruption of data in the Accounts Department two years ago due to faulty antivirus protection we have never had an IT incident. We regularly use an IT specialist at HQ who can advise us on improving procedures (this person may change).

Financial issues: Inadequate fund generation to cover costs leading to loss of assets or “grinding to a halt”. Failure to identify future liabilities and needs. Failure to maximise sources of income Fund-raising • Unsatisfactory returns. • Reputational risks of campaign or methods used. • Actions of agents and commercial fund-raisers. • Compliance with law and regulation Budgetary control and financial reporting • Budget does not match key objectives and priorities. • Decisions made on inaccurate financial projections or reporting. • Decisions made based on unreliable costing data. • Inability to meet commitments or key objectives. • Poor credit control. • Poor cash flow and treasury management. • Ability to function as going concern.

Compliance with donor imposed restrictions • Funds applied outside restriction. • Repayment of a grant. • Future relationship with donor and beneficiaries. • Regulatory action

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

Fraud or error • Financial loss. • Reputational risk. • Regulatory action. • Impact on funding Loss of assets, financial loss to the charities. Adverse publicity

The financial situation of FFWPU has improved dramatically since 2014. The non-HQ operations are very unlikely to “grind to a halt” financially and HQ will have about £220,000 unallocated funds at 31/12/16. We have sought and have succeeded to maximise most sources of income. We are currently in talks to increase income from Cleeve House from 2017 by at least 50%.

We do not do fundraising.

The budgetary controls and financial reporting are always improving and will be boosted by the cooperation with Natural Numbers.

The reserves policies has been covered above, cash flows sensitivity is very well monitored throughout the charity, dependency on income sources is always an issue but the different sections of FFWPU UK have strong buffers.

We have very little borrowing, just two loans regularly being paid off well, we are currently discussing investment policies now that we have money to invest, we do have compliance with donor imposed restrictions, we know of no fraud or error, we are aware of the theoretical case of loss of assets, financial loss to the charity but do not see any dangers of this nature at this time and we do not currently suffer from adverse publicity at this time having made major efforts to work with the media over the last 5 years.

Staffing issues: Employment issues: Disputes, health and safety issues, claims for injury, stress, harassment, unfair dismissal, past grievances. Equal opportunity issues. Adequacy of staff training. Low morale High staff turnover. Loss of experience or technical skills. Operational impact on staff morale and service delivery Health, safety and environmental issues Staff injury Lack of ability to operate

Creation one year ago of a professional HR department at HQ has greatly improved our response to these HR type questions.

All of the above points either do not currently apply (low morale, high staff turnover, loss of experience or technical skills) or are being covered by a professional HR operation.

Organisational issues: The charity lacks direction, strategy and forward planning Trustees are benefiting from charity (e.g. remuneration) Organisational structure • Lack of information flow and poor decision making procedures. • Remoteness from operational activities. • Uncertainty as to roles and duties. • Decisions made at inappropriate level or excessive bureaucracy Activities potentially outside objects, powers or terms of gift ( restricted funds) • Loss of funds available for beneficiary class. • Liabilities to repay funders. • Loss of funder confidence. • Potential breach of trust and regulatory action. • Loss of beneficiary confidence Poor reporting to trustees (accuracy, timeliness and relevance) leading to an inadequate basis for making proper decisions Failure to win respectability / acceptance leading to non-achievement of basic aims

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

Installation of a new dynamic National Director, implementation of a Restructuring Proposal accepted by the donors and the creation of two new management Councils will ensure that the charity does not lack direction, strategy and forward planning, (there are no trustees being employed by the charity), the organisational structure is becoming adjusted and is becoming even more effective, there are no activities potentially outside objects, powers or terms of gift (restricted funds), poor reporting to trustees (accuracy, timeliness and relevance) leading to an inadequate basis for making proper decisions is not the case and there is no failure to win respectability / acceptance leading to non-achievement of the basic aim

Plans for 2016 and onwards

Efforts to better exploit the Charity’s property assets will be continued in 2016 The trustees and management team will continue to pursue a number of significant plans to improve funding of operations and to strengthen reserves. These include:

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

Governance and Management

We had seven Trustees until 28/06/2015 when June Darby retired, leaving us with six Trustees. The Trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the administration of the Charity. Any two Trustees make up a quorum. Upon retirement of a Trustee, a replacement is appointed under deed by the remaining Trustees. This is done by exercising the power of appointment contained in the Trust Deed. During the year the following were Trustees of the charity:

J Darby (until 28/06/2015) E Hartley G Simon C Turfus R Williamson N O’Neil G Leonard-Schroder (appointed 27 September 2015)

Administratively, the charity is organised on a departmental basis with the decisions of the Trustees (taken in Trustee Meetings) being passed to the relevant department heads for implementation. These are reported to sympathisers of the charity over its website and an Annual General Meeting/Report for review, discussion and consultation.

The charity is the UK branch of a world-wide organisation operating under a variety of additional working names such as:

 Youth Federation for World Peace  Universal Peace Federation (UPF)  High School Association for the Research of Principles (HARP)  Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles (CARP).  The Religious Youth Service (RYS)

The FFWPU also fully encompasses the work of the previous operative charity of the Unification Movement in the UK, HSAUWC UK, which no longer exists as a separate entity. It reports about its activities to a European Office and also to a world-wide co-ordination centre. Although it may need to take account of world-level charitable initiatives it is essentially autonomous within the UK, financially and for the vast majority of its work.

The Trustees have delegated overall day-to-day management of the charity headquarters activities to the following senior staff members:

J Corley Chairman until 12 July 2016, succeeded by M Huish D Hanna Education Director D Franklin General Affairs Director until October 2015, followed by T O’Connell from October onwards S Rosselli Finance Director R Marsh Public Affairs / Universal Peace Federation Secretary General

Arrangements for setting pay and remuneration of key management personnel

Remuneration is reviewed annually. Since installation of a professional HR function at HQ and the current round of budgeting for 2017 is taking place including “arrangements for setting the pay and remuneration of the trusts key management personnel and any benchmarks, parameters or criteria used in setting their pay”, there is a project running in the HR function at this time to do exactly this and to have updated policies in place by 31/12/16

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

 select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;  observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;  make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;  state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;  prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Statement as to Disclosure of Information to Auditors

So far as the Trustees are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity’s auditors are unaware, and each trustee has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a trustee in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity’s auditors are aware of that information.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

We have audited the financial statements of The Family Federation for World Peace and Unification for the year ended 31 December 2015 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Charity Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Statements of Cash flows and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including FRS 102 ‘‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’’.

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and auditor

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement set out on page 42, the Trustees’ are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view.

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s (APB’s) Ethical Standards for Auditors.

Scope of the audit of the financial statements

An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the charity’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the trustees; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Trustees’ Annual Report to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

Opinion on financial statements

In our opinion the financial statements:-  give a true and fair view of the state of the group and charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2015 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;  have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and  have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:-  adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or  the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or  certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or  we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of preparation The Family Federation for World Peace and Unifications is registered charity in the United Kingdom. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are detailed on page 2.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014, the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

1.2 Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS102 and the Charities SORP FRS102 a restatement of comparative items was needed. No restatements were required.

In accordance with the requirements of FRS102 a reconciliation of opening balances and net income/(expenditure) for the year is provided with the net income/(expenditure) under previous GAAP

Reconciliation of reported net income £

Net expenditure as previously stated 52,398 Adjustment for gains / (losses) on investments now treated as a component of net income 4,287,951

2014 net income as restated 4,340,349 _____________

1.2 Incoming resources All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.

Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and property. It includes dividends, interest and rent. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the charity’s right to receive payment is established.

Rental income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which it is receivable.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015

1.3 Resources expended Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. The irrecoverable element of VAT is included with the item of expense to which it relates.  Costs of generating funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income.  Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

1.7 Support costs allocation Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Premises overheads have been allocated on an insert detail basis and other overheads have been allocated on an insert detail basis.

The analysis of these costs is included in note 2.

1.4 Funds accounting Unrestricted general funds are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Trustees.

Restricted funds are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restriction arises when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes

Designated funds represent funds invested in fixed assets. The designated fund balance has been represented to ensure that fund balance stated accurately reflects the designation policy adopted by the Trustees.

1.5 Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows: Fixtures and fittings - 15% straight line Technical equipment - 20% straight line Freehold buildings - 2% straight line Freehold Improvements - 2% straight line Motor vehicles - 20% straight line Plant and machinery - 25% straight line

All assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised and a full year’s depreciation is charged in the year of acquisition.

1.6 Leasing commitments Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the lease term. Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. The interest element of these obligations is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

1.7 Investments Investments are included at market value at the year end. Gains and losses on the revaluation and disposal of investments are reflected in the Statement of Financial Activities.

1.10 Tax The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2015

1.12 Going concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

1.13 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty Accounting estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Useful economic lives of tangible assets The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re- assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 11 for the carrying amount of the property plant and equipment, and note 1.6 for the useful economic lives for each class of assets.

There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Bad debts Trade debtors are regularly reviewed for recoverability, any debts which in the opinion of management are not recoverable are provided for as a specific bad debt.

There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014.

The charity, which is registered with the Charity Commission under number 267917, is established under a Trust th Deed dated 25 June 1974.

Governance and Management

We started the year with five Trustees and in December two new Trustees were appointed. The Trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the administration of the Charity. Any two Trustees make up a quorum. Upon retirement of a Trustee, a replacement is appointed under deed by the remaining Trustees. This is done by exercising the power of appointment contained in the Trust Deed. During the year the following were Trustees of the charity:

J Darby E Hartley G Simon C Turfus R Williamson N O’Neil (appointed 07/12/2014) G Leonard-Schroder (appointed 07/12/2014)

Induction and training of new Trustees comprised an initial meeting with the Chairman and senior staff member s where an overview of the charity’s objectives and programmes was given as well as financial information. This was followed by a short period spent by the newly-appointed Trustee with several department leaders and a regional leader.

Administratively, the charity is organised on a departmental basis with the decisions of the Trustees (taken in Trustee Meetings) being passed to the relevant department heads for implementation. These are reported to sympathisers of the charity over its website and an Annual General Meeting/Report for review, discussion and consultation.

The charity is the UK branch of a world-wide organisation operating under a variety of additional working names such as:

 Youth Federation for World Peace  Universal Peace Federation (UPF)  High School Association for the Research of Principles (HARP)  Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles (CARP).  The Religious Youth Service (RYS)

The FFWPU also fully encompasses the work of the previous operative charity of the Unification Movement in the UK, HSAUWC UK, which no longer exists as a separate entity. It reports about its activities to a European Office and also to a world-wide co-ordination centre. Although it may need to take account of world-level charitable initiatives it is essentially autonomous within the UK, financially and for the vast majority of its work.

The Trustees have delegated overall day-to-day management of the charity headquarters activities to the following senior staff members:

London headquarters (43 Lancaster Gate)

The central organisation at the London headquarters concentrates on the main administrative and national activities of the charity which include:

 The Blessed Family Department which supports the marriages and families of the FFWPU through counselling sessions and family seminars to facilitate personal development, teach high moral standards; promote citizenship and the mind-set to serve the wider community.

 The Education and Outreach Department provides seminars and DP workshops and actively develops curricula for all supporters of the FFWPU and affiliated organisations according to requirements.

 The Finance, Legal and Personnel Department takes care of all activities which are inferred by its title including management of any charity-owned properties which are investment properties and any new fundraising activities, since these are an integral part of the task of guaranteeing adequate funding for the charity.

 The General Affairs Department takes care of all relations with international FFWPU and UPF organisations, the logistical organisation of conferences and meetings, visits by VIPs and a multitude of small and large administrative matters which arise.

 Media Relations and Public Relations Department remains in regular contact with representatives of the media and other organisations that are interested in our movement’s work. We aim to provide a culture of transparency that allows the media to report accurately on what our Movement’s work is all about. In that way we also communicate indirectly with the general public about our projects, values, and aims through the mass media.

 The Public Affairs Department which is in contact with political, academic, media, ecumenical and interfaith persons and bodies. The charity’s activities are not political in nature, but it is appropriate to keep political representatives informed and to seek their participation in matters which are associated with charity’s work. The Universal Peace Federation UPF) is the main project name under which the work of the Public Affairs Department is undertaken. This project’s objectives include:

o the promotion of peace, non-violence and understanding between people of different religions, cultures, races and nations; the promotion of moral and spiritual welfare including (but not limited to) good character, the value of the family and good stewardship of the environment; the advancement of conflict resolution; and the advancement of the education of the public, including (but not limited to) in the subjects of human rights, democracy, good citizenship and good governance. o Work with academics in the fields of religion, family values, interracial harmony, ecumenical and interreligious harmony, co-operation between nations, etc. has been undertaken extensively in the past and will be developed in the coming years. o International and national level conferences are co-ordinated by this department on topics such as religious unity, community cohesion, Forgiveness and Reconciliation and family values, etc. Contacts are maintained with the media and assistance is given, to publish books and papers about the Unification Movement, and to arrange the occasional appearance of representatives on national television and radio. 3

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

 UPF has working groups made up of core UPF officers and Ambassadors for Peace in the following fields: o Art and Culture o Community Cohesion o International Development and fulfilment of the MDGs o Marriage and Family topics o Interfaith work o Initiatives promoted by partners and affiliated organisations e.g. Women’s initiatives, service projects and character education.

 The Youth Ministry exists to share God’s blessing and the message of Founder with young people, creating a spiritually secure community where young people can enjoy fellowship as one family, and empowering young people to discover and fulfil their calling to serve God and others. It provides pastoral care for young people aged between 12 and 25, tailored for the following demographic groups: o The CARP Section specialises in the spiritual training of university students (roughly aged between 18 and 22), whether the children of long-time sympathisers or other young people, in personal development, high moral standards, citizenship and ultimately the mind-set to serve their community through practical service activities, domestically or overseas. o The HARP Section specialises in the spiritual training of young people from between the ages 12 and 18 (within secondary education or college) with similar objects to CARP while local Sunday Schools take care of the moral and spiritual education of children up to age 12. o Those young adults who have graduated from school or university and are entering professional employment, while involved in the programmes of the youth ministry, also receive training to prepare them for marriage and working life, thus establishing themselves as independent, core members of their own communities.

All three are assisted in their aims by the Education and Blessed Family Departments. The regular activities of the Youth Ministry include small study groups, as well as residential workshops and retreats for spiritual renewal and training.

 European FFWPU – The European Office

This structure of the FFWPU is reflected in the direct charitable expenditure:

 “Local Congregation” refers to the running costs of the Family Churches  “Interfaith and Ecumenical” refers to the running costs of the Public Affairs Department  “Education and Training” refers to the running costs of the Education and Outreach Department  “International and Overseas” refers to the costs of supporting overseas missionaries plus qualifying donations to related overseas charities or the costs of international conferences  “Special Events” refers to such costs as those incurred while running internationally instigated conferences in the UK or during visits from speakers or ministers from abroad.  “Youth Department” refers to the costs of HARP, CARP and Won Hwa Do  “General Affairs” refers to the costs of the General Affairs Department  “Church Affairs” refers to the costs of the National Co-ordinator and Movement affairs  “Missionary” refers to the costs of inland missionaries  “Management and Administration” refer to salaries and office costs for the Finance, Legal and Personnel Department, including audit fees  “Conferences” refers to HQ sponsored central conferences including those arranged and attended by Ambassadors for Peace.  “CLC” (now ABC) refers to costs of meetings and conferences for Christian ministers allowing them to discuss common points between the various denominations and specific issues concerning their responsibility towards society.

Achievements and Performance in the year 2014

All departments of the FFWPU continued to develop their work in 2014. Activities of and developments in the various departments were as follows:

Blessed Family Department

The Blessed Family Department (BFD)’s main responsibility is to support strong and loving blessed families and the passing on of tradition to the next generation. The BFD wants to create a community that can support, raise and include all blessed families in whatever situation or from whatever background.

The BFD consists of Co-directors, Ashley and Susan Crosthwaite, Book-keeper Huey Fisher and various volunteers who help with seminars or projects from time to time. Susan also works as a member of the European BFD Committee, and the Supervisor of the European 1st Gen matching System, thus spreading her efforts beyond the UK and serving from the base of the UK BFD. Susan organised preparation for the Wedding Blessing with a Blessing preparation Workshop for UK candidates in January at the South London Peace Embassy. Susan was one of the European Staff members at the International World Peace Festival in Korea, in particular the Holy Wedding ceremony held on February 12th 2014. Susan worked with Dr David Hanna to hold the first European Matching Supporter Training which was held from April 25th through April 27th in Camberg, Germany, presented by Susan. She also worked as a counsellor for 6 weeks in July and August at a summer retreat held at the International Training Centre in Kapyeong, South Korea, helping to take care of 100 teenagers from several continents. At a 4 day conference ‘Vision 2020’, after that summer retreat, Susan presented a ‘best practise’ presentation about the European 1st Gen. Matching System, explaining how we prepare our candidates for marriage in Europe. Throughout the year Susan attended and presented at three 1-day conferences of the UK Community and Department leaders and Ashley and Susan together attended a 3-day Residential meeting held in March. With the help of the Youth Department leaders we worked to inspire and motivate one or two UK 2nd Gen Blessed people to form a committee to support our young married couples. In the UK Ashley and Susan both carry out between 5 and 7 counselling sessions a week. We supported Nancy Jubb to promote and organise The Marriage Course, carrying it out twice in the Haslemere Centre, Thornton Heath.

Susan worked with Dr David Hanna to form the reformed European BFD Committee, and arranged regular Skype meetings for that Committee. Finally, Susan supported our colleague Hans Karlsson to organise a meeting for Jacob children’s families in Camberg, Germany, extending and strengthening our network of caring and concerned families. It was held from 12th to 14th September 2014.

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

This department continued to hold counselling sessions but mainly concentrated on family seminars to facilitate personal development, teaching high moral standards, promoting citizenship and service to the community.

Programmes run during the year included:  Personal Development Seminars held at the South London Peace Embassy  Programmes to help couples improve their relationship including recommendations to use The Five Love Languages, Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage and the Heart Power Program.  A Blessed Couples Weekend Workshop in September and one for young couples  Development of the Rights of Passage programs includes “One Heart-One Mind” – a purity program for 14 to 18 year olds.

Education Department

To develop and implement education programmes that disseminate the teachings of the Divine Principle relating to both theory and practice, for both the public and Family Federation members, together or separately.

Strategic Management

 The priority was to run regular workshops for the education of interested members of the public, for induction of new members and for spiritual revival of existing membership. These included:  One and Two-Day (Weekend) Divine Principle Workshops  Seven-Day Residential Divine Principle Workshops  Retreats, special lecture series and workshops that expound other related teachings that are endorsed by the charity (philosophy, applied psychology, marriage guidance, ministry training, critiques of ideology, etc.)  Additional tasks were to:

 Develop lecture content for national (and Europe-wide) distribution  To build an education team - largely of volunteers - raising new lecturers and assisting existing lecturers to be in tune with current practice.  To develop the ethos and character of workshops and seminars, initiating developments and incorporating those from elsewhere in the Movement.

This involved:  Coordinating with other educators or practitioners.  Developing web-based lectures and other ways to use ‘new technology’ in disseminating the Principle.  Developing and supplying supporting literature for advertising and accompanying educational programmes.  Developing and delivering training for members in the teaching of Divine Principle and public speaking  Providing teaching and support for children’s and young people’s workshops (HARP and CARP)

Organisational development

The education area touches the heart of the work that the charity is involved in and as a result is linked to many other key areas and personnel: Outreach, Youth (HARP, CARP, Sunday Schools), Publications, Public Relations, Ministry, Blessed Family Department, and more. This will entail:

 Liaising with and maintaining good communication with personnel in these other departments

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

 Communicating with and supporting the education work of community leaders (pastors) around the country  Attending meetings that review and plan development in these areas, when necessary, and implementing decisions that arise from such meetings.  Developing the department to become a source of income for reinvestment in the education and outreach areas.

The Finance Department

The Finance Department continued to administer the financial aspects of the whole Movement as well as to hold regular meeting of the Finance committee to increase funding for the charity’s programmes involving optimising use of the charity’s assets, and investigating other types of initiatives over and above the currently established, quite steady and stable incomes from property rentals, donations, and Gift Aid claims.

Sunday schools are held in each region and have a national curriculum as a guide. The regional family churches operate autonomously and in line with the main objects of the charity.

In 2014, the 10 regional offices continued to organise their local Sunday services, Sunday schools for younger children, outreach programmes, UPF work, summer workshops for young people and marriage and enrichment programmes for couples.

North London

The North London congregation is spread from Wembley in the south to Milton Keynes in the north and from Chesham in the west to Muswell Hill in the east. Some members tend to go to Lancaster Gate for service when more convenient from a transport point of view and some alternate between our service in Hatch End and Lancaster Gate.

We have service every Sunday except the last Sunday when we either have services in people’s homes local to each other or in the park with a picnic, usually in June and July. We share Lunch on every second Sunday of the month after service. We encourage member to be active in their communities or neighbourhood’s in some way. The main 3 areas are Harrow, Watford and Milton Keynes. We actively engaged in these places especially in Inter-faith activities and social cohesion projects. We have been active for more than 16 years in the interfaith communities. In 2014 I stood down as Chairman on Watford Interfaith, a roll that I held for the previous 2 years, David Rennie continues to be chair, and is one of the main driving forces in Milton Keynes Inter-faith, where he also supports and drives many initiatives, working together with the whole community. Francoise has been doing similar things in Watford. One of her initiatives is Watford Celebration, an annual community event, which has been running for 10 years. Both Watford and Milton Keynes have Muslim communities who work together with us on these projects. In Watford I started to focus on a Peace Garden project working together with volunteers from the various communities. On a grass roots level, some members continue to witness door-to-door and hand out literature at stations or on the street. Keiko supports the above and youth activities with regular meeting in her home for teenagers. Every second Sunday of the month we have a Youth (HARP) service, which runs alongside our main worship service.

South London

Our main focus throughout the year has been holding Sunday service on a weekly basis. We also have had weekly early morning devotion and prayer meetings. We put a lot of emphasis on pastoral care and this has taken up most of our time.

Throughout the year, we set aside two days for the purpose of outreach and sharing of the Divine Principle. A regular flow of people came to study. We organised cultural evenings in order to help the public to bridge the gap between different peoples and cultures. A regular event has also been the German-British Friendship Club organised by one of our German members Sigrun.

Our young people engaged in fundraising activities for the purpose of making one of our rooms into a lounge. They have used this room for homework club, testimony and games evenings. The young people have also taken part in fundraising walks to support the charity International relief Friendship Foundation (IRFF). As a FFWPU community we collect second hand clothes and items in support of IRFF UK.

We continued to work on education and youth development. Our young people have developed their musical and performance skills, and have used their talents to improve our Sunday services. They have also performed at different concerts and various community events.

Once a year, our community organises a summer camp for young and old, bringing the generations together. We have 6 days of activities: sports and swimming, team work and games, etc. it is a bonding experience for everyone and leaves the participants with an unforgettable summer experience.

We run workshops teaching teenagers to make good moral choices in their lives.

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

In December 2014 we celebrated 10 years since we bought our premises in Thornton Heath and started the renovation and building work. We celebrated one Sunday after service with a big hog roast and entertainment to say thank you to our members for their great efforts in making our peace embassy become a reality.

We organised two 8-week marriage courses in 2014 to help couples with their relationships and one course in couples dancing.

Our building has been supporting the wider community; it is being used for a variety of events, including zumba, yoga, martial arts, after school club, board-and-staff meetings, children’s birthday parties and supporting other religious groups. In the last 10 years we have become quite known as a good community centre, not just for our own events but also for others.

Central London

Probably the most important project that we worked on in 2014 in our community was developing our church council into a properly operational body that manages the different aspects of our church community life.

The Sunday school has been developing well under Ajay Rai who has introduced new programs and a varied choice of activities for the children and teenagers on a Sunday morning. They now include martial arts for the older children and teenagers, arts and crafts for the younger children, and a teenage worship service that they organise themselves with Ajay’s support.

Joanna Hartl has been working hard developing small group study meetings that several members of the congregation take part in and to which they also invite their friends and guests. She has also had a regular Sunday night program once a month that is focused on telling the story of different people’s lives that also includes musical performances.

We have continued to invite William Haines to teach on Monday evenings and he has been methodically taking the students who attend through the Old and New Testament as he teaches the Divine Principle.

In 2014, we went through a process of reviewing the role of the pastor and passing on several of their usual responsibilities to the chairperson of the council and the council members. This was to free them up to focus on the key role of taking care of members of the congregation and pastoring to the different needs that exist in the community. This has been quite a change because traditionally the pastor has often been an all-doing, all- decision-making, responsible-for-everything kind of job. We also introduced a process where the congregation had input into choosing the new pastor.

Chris Moloney, together with his team, have continued to work on developing our Sunday program, and has managed to keep many of the cultural changes we have made over the years. It is very easy for positive changes to slide and a return to the old status quo to creep back in. For example, we have recently discussed the importance of vetting guest speakers well and informing them that they cannot just carry on speaking way over time. We have also looked at developing the prayer ministry in our service and finding ways to keep it alive.

Our community in East London consists of at least 16 families, most of whom, including our pastor, Marva Sobambi (who has recently passed away), are either full-or-part - time employed. Sunday Services were held at the YMCA in Romford for members, their families and guests. This included family members living in Ipswich and Norwich who joined us regularly on the first Sunday of every month.

Guests were invited to monthly lectures in Stratford, given by David Rennie, covering the various chapters of the Divine Principle. These meetings included some musical performances by our pastor Marva Sobambi who is a professional singer and David Rennie, who is an excellent flautist. These were followed by discussions and refreshments.

Home group meetings were held at the pastor Marva Sobambi’s home in Stratford where members and neighbours gathered to read passages from the Divine Principle and other sacred texts.

Once a month (the last Sunday of the month), the East London youth attend the joint Youth Sunday Service with the youth from our Central London community at Lancaster Gate. After the service, the young people all go to Hyde Park to play football and other games together or table tennis indoors.

We have also supported the re-birth of our sister organisation Women’s Federation for World Peace (W FWP) in our community led by Mrs Rosemary Hoyte.

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

There were a small number of established and regularly held home group meetings. There is a young men’s group and a young women’s group and a Russian-speaking young mothers group. There are also emerging two new groups, one for mature men and one for mature women. Each group is fairly independent, doing different things, but the general format of each group meeting includes time for reading, discussion and fellowship, usually accompanied by some games or activities.

A handful of individuals were either introduced to our community or brought closer to it by the evangelical efforts of their spiritual parents. Divine Principle education is usually delivered through private lectures on a one-to-one basis. New and returning guests attended the weekly worship services.

There is a 10:30am worship service in Livingstone House every Sunday morning with an average attendance of around 60. There is a crèche provided for toddlers and a Sunday school for children aged 4 – 10. Once a month there is also a worship service in Maidstone for the young families in the region who cannot travel so easily. On the 5 major holy days a holy table is prepared and the community is invited to attend a pledge service in Livingstone House at a time in the early morning that is convenient for those who need to go to work or school.

The Marriage Course nd The Marriage Course was offered once last year, with two 2 generation couples participating.

Prayer Ministry nd A prayer team met on the 2 Thursday of every month for a prayer meeting. During the rest of the month the members of the prayer team accepted prayer requests from the community and beyond, and prayed for the points requested.

Media Projects

A project was developed to produce a podcast which will entail discussions about relevant topics connected to faith and the world. A website was being designed and some recordings were made in anticipation of launching the website in July 2015.

Music Events

Once in a while there are musical events hosted to raise funds for specific causes; an event in November raised funds to support the Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP) activities in Jordan.

Children’s Ministry

There was an Easter camp organised over a weekend for nearly 20 children in the Huish family home.

North of England

We are a small community of about 20 families.

Every two weeks we had a youth education/sharing meeting where 8 to 12 of our youth gathered to hear education and have discussion in the home of our eldest young blessed couple who not only host but give the blessing and family preparation education.

Each week we had a Sunday service where 20 to 35 members attend, which was usually held at our pastor Dale Rose’s home in Bolton or, in rotation, once a month at other family homes around the region. A separate service was held for members in Newcastle twice a month, where they hired a building.

We worked with the Women’s Federation for World Peace (W FWP) in Bolton to organise projects and public presentations about once every two months.

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

We also worked together with the International Relief Friendship Foundation (IRFF) in Bolton and in 2014 three of our members attended the service project in Uganda and Kenya. Our community sponsored them 50% and also raised £2,000 to support the purchase of an emergency Medical vehicle for the Ugandan programs.

£1,000 Sponsorship was also awarded to support Unificationist children in Congo to attend Divine Principle education and other workshops.

We also sponsored 50 – 100% our youth and guests to attend Divine Principle education workshops at Cleeve House and Livingstone House.

Birmingham/Midlands

1. We held regular evening programmes, virtually once a week throughout the year in which a wide variety of people came together to study Principles of Peace, and their practical application into everyday life.

2. We were invited to attend a number of interfaith meetings, organised by the Birmingham Council of Faiths, including this one in a mosque in Sparkhill where we discussed methods of preventing Islamic extremism.

3. Both David and Patricia Earle spoke at a meeting of the Congolese community in the West Midlands, organised by a local Congolese FFWPU member on the 1st anniversary of the death of a famous musician, Emeniya Mubiala. His widow attended from France.

4. Patricia Earle spoke in an Anglican church in Sutton Coldfield, invited there by the Mother’s Union to speak about her women’s peace activities, and to open the minds of a largely white Christian audience to the possibility of collaborating with people of other faiths.

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

5. We held an Interfaith Peace Blessing to celebrate and recognise the importance of marriage and family as the basis for a peaceful, healthy society. Couples from all faiths participated, from across the Midlands and our chief guests of honour were the Lord Mayor of Rugby and the former High Sheriff of Leicestershire, pictured. It was particularly meaningful to have Jews, Christians and Muslims participating in an event together for peace, as well as members of other faiths.

6. David Earle was invited to speak, together with the Lord Mayor of Birmingham and the Police Crime Commissioner of the West Midlands, at an event organised by Families for Peace, aimed at helping teenagers understand the dangers of gun and knife crime. Around 100 school children attended the event, hosted by Birmingham University.

7. Patricia was invited to speak at an International Women’s Day event, organised by the pastor of an independent church in Birmingham city centre. She spoke about her peace activities with women, and a number of women were both impressed and empowered by her talk, wishing to become members of the Women’s Peace group.

8. Patricia was also invited to speak to an international audience in a hotel at the National Exhibition Centre. The event was the Annual Conference of Unitarians from around the world, with selected speakers explaining about their work in the Birmingham / West Midlands region.

In 2014 we had 16 Sunday services, two of them with guest speakers Dale Rose from the North of England and David Fraser Harris from Scotland.

The West Country

Monthly Sunday Services were held at Cleeve House in Seend, Wiltshire.

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

In 2014 we also held three weekend workshops there, three UPF workshops, two HARP workshops with participants from Britain and from Mainland Europe and a Junior Harp workshop.

Three pastors meetings and a 40 year celebration of the purchasing of Cleeve House were also held there.

The largest event of the year is the Annual National Gathering with around 600 people from the British Isles.

Cleeve House is also rented 10 months a year by “Cleeve House Limited”, an independent Company in the hospitality industry.

Major improvements to Cleeve House have been the building of a kitchen area near bedrooms 11 and 12, repairs to lead roof above the Main Hall, pointing of chimneys and walls at lower level, bedroom floor sanding and varnishing in the East Tower.

Our community in Wales is quite small. However, we are active in a number of ways.  We have quite an active youth group - 12 - 18yrs (HARP) - who met up each month. They enjoyed many activities together such as bowling etc. but among their programmes were activities where they looked for some volunteer work as a group, such a litter picking in a local area, local fundraising using products they made themselves and participating in educational programmes run by our church community.  Our older youth-”Young Adults Ministry” - met weekly for football and have been doing so for a number of years. They usually play against some other group’s football team but they are also open for others to join in their team simply for a game. This has proved to be very good for developing a growing community spirit and bringing together youths from various backgrounds. They also participated in educational programmes aimed at developing a better understanding of themselves through character development education.  The community, as a whole, held periodic “Peace Walks” - lasting about 1 1/2 - 2 hrs. at some nice countryside location and this was usually followed by some tea/coffee and cake in a farm cafe. Apart from this the community held regular Sunday services which included education for the younger members of the community e.g. Sunday school. The Sunday programme also gave the opportunity for those inclined to do so to share a musical performance e.g. guitar/singing, solo performances on flute, clarinet and also poetry recitals.  Apart from the formal Sunday service gatherings members also held “Home services” in various members’ homes which has now been taking place for at least two years. Still relatively few in numbers but nevertheless, a big contribution to the community spirit.  Some members were involved in regular outreach programmes but also held more formal programmes through WFWP and UPF also participating as representatives of WFWP and UPF in programmes hosted by others.  The community met several times during the year for group outings and picnics - always subject to the weather - but this has proved very effective for the building of good relationships and generally getting to know one another better. This is also a good opportunity for members to invite their personal friends and contacts who are not part of the movement but who benefit enormously from sharing with us.  The community also shared in charity activities. This was mainly, through offering funds to support charity projects in Chad, Central Africa, which is run by one member of the local community who travels to Chad as often as possible and who has worked on the installation of water wells and other projects. The community was also looking at ways to support local charities either through offering manpower or supporting financially.  Education was a regular part of community life and this was experienced through home group meetings and attending education workshops to better understand the principles of our movement.  Members were encouraged to attend Divine Principle education seminars as often as possible but as and when they were able.  Some members also travelled to participate in international programmes which are part of the larger movement’s development.

THE FAMILY FEDERATION FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNIFICATION

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

We held our service every Sunday in the South Queensferry High School. Before the service, a Korean class was given by the pastor’s wife. The service was generally attended by between 20 and 30 persons, between a third and half of them young people. The younger children attended Sunday school. Numbers increase on major holy days.

The sermon wasusually given by the pastor, although other leading members also gave sermons. The second generation gave the service once every month or six weeks. Young people from Scotland also attended FFWPU workshops in Cleve House, Chislehurst, and in Germany, as well as the DONE programme in Slovakia.

An evening meeting washeld once a week in Edinburgh, in the house of a member, and this included reading of sacred texts, prayer and discussion. rd The annual gathering was held at Loch Lomond on 3 August. This included a morning service and lunch in a village hall, followed by an excursion to an island in the loch. th On 30 November (St Andrew’s Day) we held an interfaith meeting at Augustine Church, Edinburgh, on the theme of “Families and Faith”, as part of the events of Scottish Interfaith Week. Speakers were from the Muslim, Sikh, Mormon and Unification faiths. A member of the Hindu faith prayed. This event was sponsored by Interfaith Scotland. th st We also received the visit of three Japanese sisters from 17 – 21 December, who invited people in Edinburgh to hear Divine Principle. One lecture event was held, and the sisters attended Sunday service as well as visiting sights in Edinburgh.

Financial review

During the year the charity raised funds totalling £1,142,249 (2013: £1,110,849), resources expended totalled £1,089,851 (2013: £1,002,446). There was an overall surplus of £52,398 (2013: £142,802), and the £4,287,951 gains on investments (2013: £1,245,95) brought the final net movement in funds to £ 4,340,349 (2013: £1,353,998). The Trustees are pleased that the “Unrestricted funds” were maintained in positive territory in 2014, and the value of the restricted funds was relatively low.

Rents received continued to increase to £670,143 in 2014 (2013: £644,419). It was possible to increase rental income in 2013 after some major improvements had been completed to some of the charity’s investment properties.

All other numbers in the accounts are within normally expected parameters.

The charity does not keep any sizeable cash reserves other than a constant positive sum in the bank account to cover eventualities and unforeseen expenses.

Reserve policy

The Trustees aim to hold reserves of approximately £50,000 (2013: £50,000) to cover liabilities in the event of unforeseen circumstances. The balance of general funds at year end was £228,249 (2013: £142,802).

The Trustees are satisfied with the level of general funds and review the policy annually.
