Financial Review
A copy of our 2021/22 accounts is hereby attached.
Objectives of the Charity: Proclaiming, teaching and educating Christian and nonChristian persons by means of educational resources in order to advance, strengthen and support marriages and family life in the UK and elsewhere through the world, based on the principles, standards, ideals and doctrines of the Christian faith.
Summary of Main Activities
To teach married couples (and couples preparing for marriage), how to live their marriages and parent their children in accordance with the principles, standards, ideals and doctrines of the Christian faith. Our main course, Married for Life, has also been made available on video for group use, and was also available for individual couples during the Covid-19 pandemic. We also hold teaching weekends and conferences.
Achievements and Performance
During 2022 we taught the first 2 of our 4 courses: One for Life, Married for Life, Deepening Love and Parents for Life to couples across the UK, in English and Portuguese. We generally teach these courses online as well as face to face, and it has been good to see a return to face to face courses as the Covid-19 restrictions have eased up this year. We have approximately 40 leadership couples.
Over the past few years we have also updated our website to allow for online registration, payment and reporting. We have also uploaded most of our manuals so the course can be done without paper manuals.
Expansion in Role
Mr and Mrs Thomas have been the UK Directors for 2=1 since 2008 and in October 2015 became the International Directors, Europe. This means that they have travelled to Europe several times a year (outside of the pandemic) to visit the couples leading 2=1 in other European countries. We currently teach in 13 European countries and now also have opportunities to expand into other European countries including France, Sweden, Norway and Austria. Since March 2020 the vast majority of our work had been online, but this has returned to teaching courses in person over the past year or so.
We occasionally travel to other continents to teach leaders, particularly for our new Deepening Love course. In the last few years we have taught in New Zealand, Malaysia, Australia and this year in South Africa.
