Anvil Trust is a registered charity (No:1010354) that was established on 20th March 1992.

Anvil Trust is the centrepoint and legal foundation of a radical and inclusive understanding of Christian spirituality, with a focus and emphasis on universal lifegiving values, the spiritual ‘mother-tongue’ across our planet’s many cultures. In Hebrew tradition the concept of shalom is seen as the central source from which all lifegiving values flow. While usually translated as peace, shalom is better understood as wholeness, completeness, wellbeing, harmony, and the integrity of all things.
 
The aims of Anvil Trust are:

• To provide teaching and learning opportunities
• To produce teaching and learning resources
• To promote respect for different faiths and beliefs

The purpose of Anvil Trust is to articulate, advocate, and advance a world-embracing shalom-shaped spirituality:

• A spirituality that is not only deeply personal, supporting individuals from every background to find their own unique personal spiritual path that is true for them, wherever it may lead, A space where they can thrive within themselves, while also touching the lives of others for good.
• A spirituality that is also passionately global, positively engaging with the huge contemporary challenges of our time, such as climate, conflict, and culture (to name just a few), and to do so both locally and internationally, in a way that respects the environment, supports activists and inspires hope.

The current Anvil Trust trustees are:

• Rob Taylor (Chair)
• Andrew Chaplin (Financial)
• Christabel Fearon (Legal)

Their responsibilities are to make sure all the legal requirements of the Trust are met, while also playing an important part in the decision-making process of the Trust
