Constitution: Charity/Trust ## Trustee Selection: Agreement of Trustees at the Annual General Meeting. ## Additional Governance Issues: 2=1 had its headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Due to the death of one of the Founding Directors in 2021, the headquarters were moved to Guatemala, where the new Global Directors are based. 2=1 (UK) takes its guidance from the international 2=1 corporation (2=1 Inc) and all the course material is provided by the 2=1 organisation. 2=1 (UK) is affiliated to Care for the Family and the Evangelical Alliance, both charities in the UK. Blessing the families of the earth _(Genesis 12:3)_ _2=1 is affiliated to Marriage Resource and a member of the Evangelical Alliance._ Registered Charity No. 1051998 ## Financial Review A copy of our 2023/24 accounts has already been submitted. 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 2023 we celebrated the fact that 2=1 has been established for 40 years! We did this by having conferences in various continents around the world and the Founding Director and Global Directors attended most of them. In Europe, we celebrated with a conference in Portugal. In the UK, we taught several _One for Life_ and _Married for Life_ courses to couples across the UK, in English and Portuguese. These courses are taught online as well as face to face. We have approximately 40 leadership couples. Over the past few years we have 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. This year we launched a major refurbishment of our UK website. ## Directors Roles 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 generally travel to Europe several times a year to visit the couples leading 2=1 in other European countries. We currently teach in 16 European countries including France for the first time for many years and now also have opportunities to expand into other European countries including Sweden, Luxembourg, Belgium and The Netherlands. We occasionally travel to other continents to teach leaders, particularly for our new Deepening Love course. In the last few years we have taught this in New Zealand, Malaysia, Australia and most recently in South Africa. 2 Blessing the families of the earth _(Genesis 12:3)_ _2=1 is affiliated to Marriage Resource and a member of the Evangelical Alliance._ Registered Charity No. 1051998 ## Unaudited Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31 March 2024 ## for '2=1(Uk)' '2=1(Uk)' ## Income Statement ## For The Year Ended 31 March 2024 |**TURNOVER**
