Governance and Management
Appointment of trustees
Trustees are appointed or reappointed annually at the annual general meeting.
Risk policy and review
The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks that the charity faces and consider that they are adequately mitigated through insurance, strategic planning, policies, systems and procedures.
During this period the most significant risks to the charity have been those associated with (1) Increasing church and neighbourhood activities to meet increasing need in the communities we serve and (2) managing operational costs of the church building following the surprise closure of the ‘anchor tenant‘ (Silverbells Preschool) in April 2023.
-
Increased Need and Opportunity: Responding to identified and emerging needs in the church and the local communities we serve required more volunteers and increased voluntary hours each week as we launched and maintained new mid-week activities in addition to those previously established.
-
Financial Risks associated with building operating costs: This was the first full year that the charity was responsible for the operating costs of the former St Barnabas Church building – at a time where global energy prices remained high and subsequent operating costs were significantly higher than originally forecast. Additionally. the charity had to respond quickly and effectively to the surprise closure of Silverbells Pre-school who were the building’s ‘anchor tenant’ during weekdays.
-
Closure of Silverbell Pre-School: The governing committee of Silverbells pre-school (a separate, unconnected, and unrelated party to the church) notified us of their decision to close due to insufficient government funding in April 2023 shortly after notifying their staff. In May 2019, we (Living Hope Church) launched a joint venture with Silverbells called Little Stars - a stay and play for children 0-3 years old and their parents/carers each Thursday afternoon. The Silverbells governing committee were required to sell off the nursery’s assets, including the toys and equipment used in our joint stay and play venture.
The surprise announcement of the Silverbells closure was hugely disappointing for us and the wider community. We moved into the former St Barnabas church building in September 2022 with new investment into the building and the community – and we were excited to develop our partnership with Silverbells, just as they were with us. We recognise the decision to close the pre-school must have been extremely difficult and upsetting for the Silverbells governing committee.
Ensuring we effectively managed the risk of a further reduction of activities and services (e.g., Little Stars stay and play) while mitigating the impact of the loss of rental income became a top priority for trustees at the start of this reporting period.
It is pleasing to report that despite these challenges this has been a successful year, where significant increases in income, together with tightly controlled expenditure, has resulted in strong financial and operational performance of the charity.
Little Stars stay and play has continued (despite the absence of a joint venture partner) and is now thriving together with several new mid-week groups and activities that have launched and been maintained.

Safeguarding
Trustees are assured of the ongoing implementation (and appropriate updates) to our safeguarding processes and procedures during this period. Our Safeguarding Children, Young People and Vulnerable Adults Policy is reviewed and updated as required. We continued to engage with our independent safeguarding advisors Thirtyone:eight (formerly Churches Child Protection Advisory Service) in the effective management of safeguarding risk and response to any concerns identified or disclosed during this reporting period.
Networks and Membership Groups
Living Hope Church is a member of the ELIM NETWORK. Elim is a growing movement of Christian congregations in the UK and Ireland committed to making disciples, developing leaders, growing churches, and reaching nations. Our affiliation with ELIM was strengthened during this period with ministry input from several Elim ministers as well as network groups and communities for leaders.
We value our partners from local churches including through the DUDLEY CHURCHES TOGETHER and the LOVE BLACK COUNTRY network (THE BLACK COUNTRY NET) where our Lead Pastor, Lisa Parkes, continues to serve on the leadership core team. Staff and volunteers from partner churches and charitable organisations have supported our work in this period.
Objectives and Activities
The objects of the charity are:
-
To advance the Christian faith
-
To advance education, in particular, but not exclusively by providing training to leaders of activities
-
To relieve poverty, sickness and distress in any part of the world
Activities, Achievements and Performance
This period (April 2023 to March 2024) was the first full year in our new building (the former St Barnabas Church building, Middlepark Road, Russells Hall, Dudley).
Following the surprise decision of Silverbells Pre-school to close in April 2023 we set an ‘emergency budget’ to tightly control expenditure in response to the loss of our anticipated income from the use of the building each day in school term time.
Despite this challenging start to the reporting period, we are delighted to report a very successful financial year. Building on the significant increase in tithes and offerings from the church congregation last year we have seen a further increase in this reporting period (+47% compared to last financial year). Securing more regular donors and current donors increasing their regular monthly donations in-year have contributed to this strong financial performance. Because a proportion of the increased donations received are from UK Tax Payers, we also benefitted from a 36% increase in Gift Aid received compared to last year.
Beyond donations from individuals, we received a £10,000 ‘Awards for All’ grant in this period which was used for continued development work and renovation of the building.
Building operating costs in this period were c.20% higher than what was budgeted for, largely due to higher utility costs (Gas and Electric) and higher than expected in-year costs of repairs and maintenance (small

LIVING HOPE INTERNATIONAL Registered Charity Number 1106417
works). However, it is important to note that the increased income more than covered the additional expenditure/operating costs.
In respect of our charitable objects and church priorities, more was achieved this year because of the increased income received (that was better than what was budgeted for). We also recorded a 20% end of year operating surplus meaning nearly £20,000 was added to the charity’s reserves to be used for future major capital projects – which are a requirement of our lease agreement with the Church of England.
A new roof for the main church hall was installed in March 2024 which was part-funded by a grant from Enovert Community Trust (an environmental body which supports community and environmental projects). As the grant income received, and the building capital expenditure incurred for this project were both in April 2024 they will be included next year in our 2024-2025 financial statements.
Easter 2023 events and activities were a highlight for us at the start of this reporting period with services in our building in Middlepark road for the first time. Sunday gatherings were maintained in person throughout the period with increasing use of the building midweek by church groups and other community groups as the year progressed. Highlights included the dedication of children and our first adult baptisms in our new building which coincided with our 21[st] anniversary in September 2023. Church youth activities also resumed for the first time since the COVID pandemic during this period.
Regular building usage this period included the following:
-
Sunday church gatherings
-
Tea Dance
-
Monthly youth gatherings (Sunday afternoons)
-
Midweek Connect Courses
-
Midweek Alpha Course – a precursor to a future community Coffee Afternoon group
-
Little stars stay and play toddler group
-
Pilates Health and Fitness sessions
-
Girlguiding Brownies
The building was also used several times during this period as a polling station for local, regional and national elections.
We hosted community celebrations and events of national significance during this period including for The King’s coronation and a community summer fun day and BBQ party. Our work to provide fun, engaging and faith-filled input into children in the communities we serve continued throughout the period on Sundays and with a community ‘light party’ (alternative to Halloween) in the October half term school holiday.
We reviewed our work to further our charitable objectives overseas using this period with update reports and visits from overseas missionaries. Our long-established support for the Albania Mission continued this period with a visit to Albania (from our Lead Pastor) to review the work on the ground and the impact of the charity’s support for the mission.
The build into Christmas 2023 included our first ‘Christmas Fest’ community event in partnership with Friends of Russells Hall Park – which included a Santa’s grotto, live music, Christmas stalls and free face painting for children. In preparing for Christmas, we hosted a series of Midweek Advent groups where each of the Advent themes (hope, peace, joy, love) were explored together through creative worship together with guidance for practical implementation in day-to-day life.
Our Christmas programme, the second in our new building, included Christmas carol services and a community service called ‘The Story’ which featured children telling the Christmas nativity story. Each year we support a local charity at Christmas, this year we furthered our support for and partnership with CHADD
5
LIVING HOPE INTERNATIONAL Registered Charity Number 1106417
(Churches Housing Association of Dudley and District) which included hosting a midweek carol service for the organisation in our building led jointly by our Lead Pastor and the Bishop of Dudley who is Chair of CHADD.
Future Developments
2024/25 will be a year of further growth in our new building in respect of church attendance, community group activities/building use, and deeper partnerships with our local schools and other charitable organisations.
We plan for 2024/25 to be a year where large capital projects are completed, and capital funding required for the next phase of building developed is secured.
We plan to further increase the number of church-led activities building on the successful growth of Sunday and midweek groups in this reporting period.
