transforniwork Annual Report 1st February 2024- 31st January 2025 We Give Thanks We give thanks to our Heavenly Father for His ongoing blessing upon our workplace mission. Every year we reflert and celebrate His love in artion as we inspire individual workers to live out their faith at work, encourage groups of Christians as they come together in W0)13CeS and across business sertors and see organisational change through their faith. Our mission continues to grow and we praise God for the work He has called us to in Scotland which is now bearing fruit. We recognise His hand in all we do and His faithfulness to us. Our Mission We inspire, connect, equip and support Christians to transform the places they work in, so they can openty express their faith in word and action. We do this primarity through a tearn of Ambassadors who connect with and help develop Christian Workplace Groups (CWGS) across the public sector and many industries in the private sector throughout the UK and beyond. We also SUPPOrt and connett Christian Professional and Sertor Groups (CPSGS) vtho represent a host of professions such as law and health, and sectors such as media. education and politics. We have a team of Associates with specialist skills who can offer specific expertise to Christians at wor We are developing our mission across the UK and we have an increasing number of international connections.
transformwork Strategic Direction 2021-2025 We are now in the final stage of our five-year strategy to Deepen, Widen and Influence our impart. This has been an interesting period as the UK has moved through Covid lockdown and emerged with a more hybrid workplace culture which we are supporting. Deepen We have deepened our foundations through a governance review. financial streamlining, and further embedding of prayer. We have also increased our support for workplace. professional and sector groups by developing our Ambassador team and Associates, and launching a variety of new materials from faith literacy to workplace prayer. Widen We have wldened our regional support to cover North England, East Anglia (with a focus on Cambridge) and Scotland, and launched a variety of new professional sector groups. We continue to widen our international connections building reLitionships with global charities and supporting Christians as they extend Christian workplace groups across global organisations. We have refreshed our brand and increased our support base on social media. including a new and growing WhatsApp community. We have supported the launch of the multifaith initiative Faith Friendly Workplaces. linked with the global REDI initiative. Influencing This year (202516) we have a specific strategic focus on the following areas: 1. Exploring new income streams to diversify our donor base- areas including legacies. alumni network and Christian CEO sponsorship 2. Improving the support we give our Ambassadors and their development 3. Reviewing our transformational impact across the UK through workplace groups 4. Developing our church workplace ministy mission following a successfvl North East pilot 5. Continuing to develop a sustainable base in Scotland 6. Continuing to renew our presence in London by recruiting new Ambassadors. Trdnrfom WorK 8 MaalSe3 Road, London, SEI IHL • Registervj ChaiTty No. 1120053 . Company No. 6203863
transforniwork We will also develop our next five-year strategic plan, developing strategies for regional growth in London. Wales and Ireland: the new generation of young workplace leaders: harnessing our working movement to transform on a national basis: and providing global support for Christians in the workplace. We reflect on the grace that God has given us over the past five years and we are grateful for His sustenance across a challenging period. We are listening to His voice for how we shape our next stage of strategic growth as we develop our next fwe-year strategic plan. Christian Workplace Groups We are now supporting 474 group5 and 92 individuals seeking to start new groups. This year, we have helped to start 34 new groups. It remains more challenging for Ambassadors to keep in touch with groups as many now meet virtually in a hybrid working environment. The groups are at different stsges of development depending on how well established they are in their organisation. This ranges from Level I where we know of only one individual Christian within an organisation through to Level 6 where the group is well established and highly regarded by the organisation. At the end of this year the number of groups at different stsges of development was as follows; o Level 1: individual (92 individuals) o Level 2.. initial contact (56 groups) o Level 3: earty formation (124 groups) o Level 4: organisational acceptance (162 groups) o Level 5: formal integration (62 groups) o Level 6: organisational celebration (70 groups) We assess the ffiealth, of our groups according to a number of criteria - for example. whether they are meeting regularly. looking outwards as a group, developing new leaders. Of those we have assessed. 110 groups are Ylourishing, 208 are 'improving, 76 are struggling and 94 are Yailing. This analysis helps us to know which groups need more help and where we need to focus our supporL We have not had recent contart with a number of our groups and during 2025 we intend to re-establish contatt wherever possible.
transforniwork Christian Professional and Sector Groups We are now supporting 63 Christian Professional and Sector Groups (CPSGS) and helped to form 3 new CPSGS this year: Christians In Food + Retail Christians in Trade Unions Christians in the Automotive Industry We assess the Thealth. of these groups also according to a number of criteria - for example. whether they are meeting the needs of their members. are outwardly focused, engaging with their professional body. reaching out to new members. students and graduates and developing new leaders. Of those we have assessed, 28 group5 are Ylourishing, 17 are'improving, 11 are'struggling and 7 are failing. Again, this analysis helps us to know which groups need more help and where we need to focus our support Other developments The weekly Tuesday lunchtime 30-minute prayer calls have grown in number. Transform Work continues to host and facilitate these weekty sessions. An excpting initiative began halfway through the year after Thy Kingdom Come. where it felt right to have monthly sector prayer meetings. On the first Tuesday of each month the CP5Gs pray in sectors - so far we have established the Health and Social Care settor and Education settor. We hope to see more sector prayer meetings take place throughout 2025. In March we held our second hybrid annual CPSG leaders, meeting in London. This was well attended with keynote speaker Sam Webster, in-house solicitor for The Christian Institute. In the afternoon Mark Pickering of the Christian Medical Fellowship facilitated group discussions on how we might work effettively as a network. CPSGS through Transform Work exhibited at the David's Tent conference alongside the Christian Ambulance Association, FireFightersforChrist and The London In5titvte for Contemporary Christianity. Transform Work facilitated the engagement of the CPSGs to participate in the National Week of Prayer from 6th - 14th September, enabling the Church to pray specifically with knowledge for those working in the professions and settors. Resource material: We have jointly produced seven ethical calls to UK election candidates designed a Christmas card listing all CPSGS on the back for CPSG leaders to send to seniors in their respertive professional bodies and to MPS. o updated the CPSG leaflet which is downloadable from the website. A WhatsApp group continues to be a strength of encouragement and communication to the CPSG leadership. Email: oifice@tran5frJmiwork.net Website.. w*h¥.transformwork.net
transforniwork There has been a shfft in momentum amongst the CPSG leaders in how they relate to each other and their commitment to work together so that each group can better connect, support and equip Christians within their profession or sector. Objectives for 2025 1. Design a fresh look for the CPSG website portal add a search bar to deal with the increase in groups. 2. Provide a Development Level structure for CPSGS similar to the CWGS to help us grow healthy groups. 3. Attend national Christian events as a network to share resources and costs. and Christian Workplace Ministries Christian Workplace Ministries (CWM) include chaplains to the workplac¢ business and entrepreneurial groups as well as larger ministries that seek to support wothplace Christians who are neither part of CWGS or CPSGS. This year we have five additions to our database of 93 workplace ministrles: Asone P3 Business Care Holy Trinity Boar Lane Workcare West Midlands Here l am We are aware of the potential to collaborate with these ministries. We are looking for someone to manage this database and identify how we can work effectively in parmership with them. Transform Work Team Ambassadors We now have 23 Ambassadors. with 5 new amba55adorsjoining us this year. Andy D Smith - East Midlands Josh Lees - Leeds and Bradford Julie Smith - Norfolk and Suffolk David Black - Scotland (Energy Sector) David-lsaac Arinze - Scotland (Local Authorities) Two Ambassadors have given notice of finishing their volunteer roles With us.

transforniwork Projects and events Kickstart Scotland Pioneering into Scotland has been a bumpy journey. We started strongly. excited to receive grant funding in December 2023 as confirmation to go. However. as the months went on. we realised how tough the terrain was. especially for the newly appointed Scottish Lead Ambassador. Andrea Thomas. who was also completing a Masters at the same time. Work stopped between June and September as Andrea took unpaid leave for study and health reasons and eventually resigned from her post as circumstances dirtated that she move back to London. However. in their commitment to supporting the work in Scotland. the Board of Trustees of Transform Work had already booked their tickets to gather in Edinburgh at the same time as she resigned. It was a little unsettling and yet there was an unusual expectation that the Lord had something planned for us as we journeyed to Scotland. We were extremely blessed and surprised at The Lord's wonderful solutions Gathering round the tsble in The Hilton Hotel on the afternoon of Friday 1 Ith Ortober were the Transform Work Board members wlth invited workplace friends Martyn Link from The Business Connection and Gavin Matthews from Solas. We wanted to learn more about the spiritual dirnate in Scotland and workplace endeavours. to understand how we best fit. We wanted to come and support what was taking place rather than reinvent the wheel. On hearing their reports, it felt like a barren land spiritually as seemingly church after 13
transforniwork church were d05ing and there was reluttance for Christians to make themselves known for fear of losi jobs or being persecuted In work.. and yet there was hope. New congregations were springing up in unusual places and Father was speaking. Martyn shared how at the start of 2024 he felt The Lord told him to gather workplace Christians again through the Thrive Scotland inrtiative. However, he had laid the project down as others were not convinced. The plan was to have a series of conferences across Scotland during one week covering 5 major cities - Glasgow, Aberdeen, Inverness. Dundee. Edinburgh - to awaken and strengthen workplace Christians to action and to call this revived movement Thrive 25. We had received a prophetic word at our retreat in February 2024. Ipen doors in ?4 soyou con thrwe in ?5" So on hearing Martyn say Yhrive 25" our whole Board erupted with smiles and joy, very much to Martyn's surprise. All became clear when we shared the prophetic word and Gavin also sensed this was a Holy Spirit appointment. Together we agreed to support Martyn rfthe current Trustees of The Business Connettion also felt progressing Thrive 25 was of the Lord. It was important to be unified going forward. Suddenly we all felt now is the time and together we all bowed our heads in the bar area of The Hilton Hotel, Edinburgh and prayed and prayed and prayed for God's Spirit to move amongst the Christians in Scotland, for revival to come again to this land and for guidance for Thrive 25. We all felt it was a Holy Spirit moment and history was made as The Lord knit us together relationally in one accord. After we finished prayin& a couple who were visiting from the USA came over to thank us. They were surprised and challenged by our boldness in openly praying in the hotel. We ministered to them individually and as a couple while the Holy Spirit spoke through us to them. It was a special time. We also blessed the hotel stsff before endeavouring to find somewhere to feast together and to continue conversations. 14 Email.. ¢)ffi@ban5rOImW0rk.net . Website.. www.transformth.net
transforniwork The next day members of the Transform Worf( Board prayer walked the city in the morning and then met in the offices of Daysix Design agency in the afternoon, who wonderfully opened their workplace to us. After discussion and prayer It was agreed that Ros Loaker would take on the lead for Scotland in the absence of a Scottish lead ambassador. Three months later, we now have two volunteer Ambassadors, David-lsaac Arinze for the Local Authority sector and David Black for the Energy sertor. We are still seeking the Lord to provide the right person to lead the Education sector and especially to grow Christian Workplace Groups in the 19 Scottish universitles. We are also keen to find a Lead Ambassador who can coordinate the networking and support other Ambassadors as other settors develop such as health and social care, finance and insurance. arts and media. food and retail. We now have 18 groups established and are currently working with 5 individuals to start groups. A monthty online lunchtime networking meeting has been established for leaders of groups and in January monthly energy sertor meetings were also started. // At the start of 2025 we were part of the interview process for the Thrive 25 Project Manager (who is now in place) and we look fonvard to working viith Lindsey Mccowan to accomplish all the Lord has in storel We are thankful to the Haldane Trust for their grant that helped us kickstart groups in Scotland. for Andrea Thomas for her patience as we pioneered this hard ground. for the early adopters of leaders of Christian Workplace Groups who caught the vision which spurred us on. for the two voluntary ambassadors who said yes. and of course the Hoty Spirit who set us up in The Hilton Hotel to bring vision to reality as workplace frlends joined as one. We are so very thankful for hearts that are open to Fatherfs bidding and exclted to be working with The Business Connertion and Solas on mission for Thrlve 25 to play our part in seeing the transformation of Scotland as Christ followers kneel in prayer and stand boldly for The Truth in work! Maranotha. 15
ansforniwork Team Day We held our hybrid Team Day on Saturday 30th November, an opportunity for the Ambassadors. Associates. Office team. and Trustees to come together and connert. 23 members of the team attended (13 in person and 10 online) and we used the opportunty for a mixture of worship. prayer. teaching and fellowship.

transforniwork David"s Tent In August we held a joint exhibit stand at the David's Tent festival with the Christian Ambulance Association and Firefighters for Christ. The aim was to represent a wide range of Christian Professional Sector Groups. provide information. answer queries and generate referrals for follow up after the ftstival. This was very productive and we jointly achieved nearly 600 referrals, whilst talking to around 800 individuals. There were referrals to seventeen sector networks, the main ones being to the Association of Christian Teachers. Christian Medical Fellowship and the NHS Christian Network. There was also interest in the Food, Tech and Retail settors which did not have sector groups - we have subsequently helped to launch a Retail network. We also spoke to a number of church leaders about starting workplace ministry in their churches and encouraged a number of members of Christian Workplace Groups. International Connections Transform Work supports Christian Workplace Groups in many organisations that operate globally. We continue to develop relationships with like-minded organisation5 such as Corporate Christ in India, Transform Work Italy and F ve lokgl based in the USA. Transform Work and Faith & Work Movement Global have continued to jointly promote workplace gatherings in London. Prayer Thursdays 7.'30am This weekly zoom prayer call provides a weekty opportunity to pray for Transform WorK Christian Workplace Groups, workplace related events. issues of national concern affecting the workplace - whatever God puts on our hearts. All are welcome to join. Jesus to be Reveoled We continued with our two corporate days of prayer and fasting. These were at the start of Lent in February and the beginning of Advent in November. Online prayer meetings were arranged during each of these weeks where we prayed for specific sectors and were joined by representatives of several CWGS and CPSGS as well as our donors and volunteers. 17
transforniwork Strategic Prayer Leads Wth the support of Lloyd van Vuuren from Concert of Prayer. we completed our "Corporate Prayer Academy,. seeing 6-10 people from CWGS participate in online training sessions to learn how to lead others in corporate prayer, specifically in a workplace context. In January 2025 we launched Transform Prayer with our new prayer lead David-lsaac Arinze leading half-hour online prayer sessions on Mondays. Wednesdays and Fridays. We also worked with Anne de Leyser from Local House of Prayer to develop training in how to take our place as part of the Royal Priesthood to speak blessings over our workplaces and organisations. Anne led one of ourjesus To Be Revealed prayer sessions. Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer Transform Work continues to partner with Eternal Wall to galvanise workplace answered prayer to feature on the Eternal Wall, In the words of Founder Richard Gamble. "I can build this wall of a million bricks, but we needyour help, we needyour workplace on5wered pray5. So that when sonRone comes on thi5 Sitefrom the police, or insurance or dentistry and sees an answered proyer in their profession or sertor, it could be lrfe changing for them. Wisit our website and please addyour testimony." Thy Kingdom Come Thy Kingdom Come is a global call to prayer started by the Church of England but is now supported by Christians from many denominations across the globe. It runs between Ascension and Pentecost. calling Christians to pray for those they meet in their daily lives. Over the past five years, we have provided workplace materials and hosted prayer calls led by Christian Professional and Sector Groups. This year we also provided an article on the wider Transform Work mission and the opportunities for Christians coming together in the workplace which was published by Thy Kingdom Come and emailed to 30k recipients. Faith Friendly Workplaces it&L is an initiative led by our associate Dave Law. with the involvement of several of our team, that aims to encourage HR departments to support faith employee resource groups. The initiative recognises that many HR departments have limited faith literacy and do not wish to be seen to be favouring one faith over another. As such, they have adopted 18 Email: offiL•ardomiwork.net .

Their launch conference was held in March 2024 with around 60 higher level executives in attendance and received good post-conference feedback. The UK Religious IEquity, Diversity and Inclusion (REDI) Awards were given for the most Faith Friendly companies Baringa Partners, Rolls Royce, NATS, OVO Energy and Thames Water. A reception with the APPG for Freedom of Religion and Belief on the following day celebrated the winners.

Finances We give thanks for a 13% year-on-year increase in our income compared with 2024, which also represents a doubling of our annual income since 2021. Translorm Work Income& ExpendSture Donations accounted for two thirds of our income. and the remainder from grants including the Haldane Trust which kickstarted our work in Scotland above. to ?tQD 2lllJ zro4 Our income was marginally higher than our expenditure. with our main investments being. a) Refresh of our website. which included simplifying the back-end system so that future changes are easier to implement. These changes mean we are making greater use of the website. for example registration for events. This will increase traffic to, and use of. the website. b) Klckstart Scotland. where we hired Andrea Thomas to initiate this project, and then continued it through our CEO, Ros Loaker. We launched the 100 Campaign in November. with the aim to increase the number of regular givers to Transform Work by l 00 people. By the financial year end. we were already over 10% of the way towards this target. We were delighted with the generosity 19
transforniwork of those who joined this campaign - we asked for a regular do[tIOn of £IO/month but most people signing up are gFving signfficantty more than this. This will provide a stronger financial base to the organisation, which we can supplement through grants. one-off gifts and other income sources. We have also undertaken a comprehensive review to identFfy new income streams. This has involved input from our team, Trustees, Ambassadors, leaders of Christian Workplace Groups and a dedicated workshop at our Team day. We now have some clear changes to introduce. which we aim to roll out through 2025. Help Transform Work transform every workplace Transform Work has the largest datsbase of Christian Workplace Groups in the country. We support each one of them through our Ambassador networK our extensive resources and through our partnerships with Christian Professional Sector Groups. But we know this is only a fraction of the total number of UK organisations with Christians working in them. We also know that not enough people know about Transform Work and the vital work we do to support Christians on their everyday frondine - their workplace. Our vision is that every workplace In the UK has a Christian Workplace Group (CWG), supported by Transform Work, that is equipping and supporting Christians to do their best work and infuse their organisations With the message of Christ. Thank you so much to everyone who Is already supporting Transform Work. whether that be financially. through prayer. through involvement and in many other ways. You are helping us achieve our vision.
