Laurence Singlehurst (Chair) Mark Greenwood David Oludoyi Andrew Kilby – resigned 23[rd] October 2024 Pauline Mack Rev Nigel Coles
2. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The principal object of the charity is to advance the Christian faith in the UK and overseas.
The aim of HOPE is to encourage the diverse range of churches across the United Kingdom to engage in word and action community mission amongst the 65 million residents.
The ongoing work is intensified to build around the Christian calendar and to communicate the Gospel of Jesus Christ through word and actions, creating a lasting legacy of both physical and spiritual change in individual lives and communities.
The work of Hope is being financed by a large number of personal supporters and Trusts who have a particular interest in the success of mission. In addition the mainstream churches are supporting the work financially both locally and at national level. While fundraising is important it is the aim of Hope to keep the central office small and administratively efficient.
The Trustees would like to thank all the people who have joined in again by giving sacrificially to Hope both financially prayerfully and physically. Special mention needs to be given to all the thousands of volunteers around the nation who are again rising to the challenge of embedding mission in our communities.
3. PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT
When planning our activities for the year, the trustees have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit and in particular the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.
4. Hope Together 2024 End of Year Report
2024 was an extraordinary year for Hope Together. We fulfilled our vision to equip, encourage, envision, and enable evangelism across the UK. The team delivered another outstanding year of impact, achieving results well beyond our size and spreading the good news nationwide.

Talking Jesus Research in 2024
The Talking Jesus research, first published in 2022, continues to shape how we think about faith in the UK and where evangelism opportunities lie. It underpins the development of our resources, ensuring they’re not only beautiful to receive but genuinely useful and lasting. The impact goes beyond Hope Together: in addition to the hundreds of digitally downloaded reports, in 2024, 2,743 printed reports were received by those looking to turn the findings into practical, local solutions. By year-end, we were talking with other national partners about updating and expanding the research for 2025–2027.
Talking Jesus Course
The Talking Jesus Course remains a practical, welcoming way to help local churches equip everyone to speak about Jesus in the everyday contexts. This year, the accompanying workbook helped 1,974 people deepen their understanding and application. An updated film version has been well received and continues to embed this important research at the local level.
Talking Jesus: Healed Restored
Our Healed/Restored handout, inspired by Isaiah 64:8, is a bright, encouraging resource reminding us that we are the clay and God is the potter, healing and restoring us with his loving hands. It proved popular used alongside the Talking Jesus course and as a standalone resource, with 3,920 distributed in 2024.
Talking Toddlers
The Talking Toddlers Webinar continued to run termly, equipping toddler-group leaders to make the most of the missional opportunities in this age group and with their parents. We’re exploring plans to revisit the 2019 research in 2025, recognising the strategic potential of mission to this demographic.
Great Gospel Giveaway
In November 2024, we set a bold aim: to place 30,000 Gospels in the hands of non-Christians across the UK through local churches by the end of 2025. The campaign leaned into the Talking Jesus findings—about one in three non-Christians who talk with a Christian want to learn more about Jesus or encounter Him, and the figure rises to nearly one in two for younger generations. It was also noted that 47% of Christians in the Finding Jesus research said Bible reading helped bring them to

faith. By the end of 2024, we’d helped churches distribute 4,572 Gospels. In November the campaign sort to raise funds to help us with the 2025 vision.
Special Gift and Community Customised Gospels
To widen the Gospel’s reach, we began planning a special addition the Gospel of John for the 80th anniversary of WWII that was coming at the beginning of 2025. Hope specialises in turning cultural moments into missional moments and could see that this opportunity could be exciting. We also began to investigate city-collaboration initiatives to customise the IWitness Gospel of Mark with local imagery, making it feel familiar and special to recipients. To plan to work with London Mission week that is coming in 2025.
God’s Big Story Series
Happyland continues the journey from Talking Toddlers, providing fresh mission resources for children aged 0–4. In 2024, 13,395 God’s Big Story books were distributed to families, toddlers’ groups, and other children’s groups across the UK, alongside related titles, animations, and songs. Two new titles were added to the collection as it grows to assist this vital area of outreach.
ALIVE film Series
Launched in April 2024, the ALIVE series explores the resurrection accounts with creative storytelling and contemporary testimonies, showing how meeting the risen Jesus can transform lives today. Over 487 groups took part in the launch. A leaders’ guide, Sunday sermon notes, and a more indepth book supported deeper engagement.
The project also partnered with The Way UK to develop a youth strand, with in-house resources for children as well. Feedback has been positive, and some new believers credit the series with their journey of faith. We’re excited to build on this success in 2025 and beyond. Hope Together also produced an eye-catching newspaper that churches used to promote the series giving out 40,735 copies in Easter 2024.
Christmas at Hope Together 2024
As with ALIVE and Easter, Hope Together prioritized outreach resources for Christmas, a key moment in the Christian calendar.
Gift of Christmas
First released in 2023 and authored by Dr Rachel Jordan-Wolf, Gift of Christmas explores the truths and traditions of the season. In 2024, we distributed 6,157 Gift of Christmas books. We expanded the resource suite with two Christmas card options, sending 1,850 cards to friends and family using the same illustrations.
Lego Christmas Cards and Lego Trail Sheets

Hope 08 Ltd (limited by guarantee and not having a share capital)
In collaboration with Go Chatter, we produced Lego Christmas cards linked to the Go Chatter Lego Nativity film, aiming to engage younger generations. We’re continuing to grow this partnership past Christmas 2024 and into 2025.
HOPE for All Christmas Magazine
Over 83,400 copies of our 2024 HOPE for All Christmas magazine were distributed through services, posted to doorsteps, or included in gift bags. The refreshed design, moving stories, and celebrity testimonies make this a much-loved, staple resource for churches during the festive season.
Amplify
Hope Together’s Amplify project continued to empower more than 100 young evangelists, offering mentoring and coaching to help them start new outreach in their own contexts. Many are reaching out in schools, with inspiring stories that keep Amplify growing year after year.
OIKOS App
Our partnership with Every Home for Christ continued to bear fruit in 2024. The OIKOS app helps people pray for their streets and engage with their communities. Over the course of the year, the app was used in over 715 places, with more than 31,500 streets prayed for and 4,995 homes reached.
Conclusion
Hope Together continues to prove that a small, focused team can achieve outsized impact across the UK. We prioritise agility and collaboration, staying lean to respond quickly and to maximise missional opportunities. Partnership is a core part of our mission. By partnering with churches, organisations, and communities, we extend our reach and reinforce our impact. Our ongoing mission is to equip and encourage as many believers and churches as possible to live out the vision to see Everyone, Everywhere Know Jesus.
5. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The board administers the charity and meets at least two times per year. Trustees are required to stand down in rotation as specified in the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
I am pleased to report that the Directors/Trustees and members of the Leadership Team met formally six times during 2024, to develop the ongoing vision and strategy for Hope 08 Ltd.
6. FINANCIAL REVIEW (INCLUDING RESERVES POLICY)
The Charity had a deficit for the year of £2,024 (2023 - deficit £4,759). Its unrestricted reserves stood at £ 151,381 (2023 £233,053) at the year-end. Its designated reserves stood at £137,451 (2023 £57,803) at the year-end.
The trustees recognise that 12 months operating costs would be ideal on an ongoing basis and have achieved that. However, the nature of the charity is faith based and we expect full provision for our needs, but equally are wise about correct stewardship of God's money. That said, the Trustees are pleased to report that sufficient funds have been provided and a surplus can be carried forward into 2024 to create a secure financial base.

state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS -FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2024
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
General information and basis of preparation
Hope 08 Limited is a company limited by guarantee incorporated 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.

Hope 08 Ltd (limited by guarantee and not having a share capital)
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS -FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2024
Income recognition
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.
No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). Further detail is given in the Trustees’ Annual Report.
Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
Expenditure recognition
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the headings as set out in note 2.Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
Tangible fixed assets
The trustees have reviewed the accounting policy for fixed assets and consider that the capitalisation level is set at £5,000. Other assets purchased are taken at cost in the year of acquisition and no provision is made for depreciation.
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate.
Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
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.
13
Hope 08 Ltd (limited by guarantee and not having a share capital)
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS -FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2024
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.
2. Hope Publishing
During 2017 Hope 08 Limited set up a subsidiary Hope Publishing Limited (a Company Limited by Guarantee). Hope 08 is the guarantor for the shares and has the sole right to appoint the Board of Directors. Hope Publishing Ltd. Is a trading subsidiary and has taken over the production and publishing of books and magazines on behalf of Hope 08 Ltd. Hope Publishing has pledged to donate any surplus it makes to Hope 08 Ltd.
