Directors. Report
for the year ended 30 June 2024
Structure. govemance and management
Faith, Truth and Hope is a charitable company limited by guarantee constituted by a set of
Memorandum and Articles of Association incorporated on 5 September 2007. This charity
exists to advance the Christian faith and to pursue such other charitable purposes as the
trustees from time to time think fit.
The directors who are also trustees of the charity are named within this document and have
served either throughout or during the year ended 30 June 2024.
The trustees met and communicated with each other throughout the year to manage the
affairs of the charity.
Public Benefft
The trustees have a strong desire to preserve the Christian heritag8 of our nation which is
distinctive and of enormous public benefit. The Christian faith has done much to shape our
society for good and for the benefit of all.
The trustees have referred to the general guidance provided by the Charity Commission on
public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives and in planning current and future
activities.
The charity has continued to advance the Christian faith by sponsoring activities and by
making grants to other Christian organisations.
Reflecting the trustees. commitment to the future and raising up a generation of younger
Christians who will be able to impact the church and the world. the charity has supported
leadership development activities for young people. These are particularly focussed on
undergraduates and young professionals. who are believed to be strong future leaders. and
who are already interested in understanding the relevance of the Christian gospel in modern
society and are prepared to think through its practical outworking in the future.
As in prior years, grants were made to fund presentations and exhibitions in churches and
online, designed to educate and increase awareness of Christian ethics and responsibilities
in the twenty first century. The trustees remain confident that the Christian faith is being
advanced through grants. with significant public benefit both now and in the future.
Objectives and activities
The direction of the charity has remained unchanged in the short term and the trustees will
continue to review the activities in future to meet the main objective of advancing the
Christian faith.
The trustees are grateful for the faithful support from all donors. During the year. the charity
received donations from several hundred donors, with some exceptionally generous support
f rom private individuals.

The charity has continued to support events run by Christian Concern which are. in the
majority. free to enter. publicly advertised and open to all. The events seek to inform and
educate those in attendance about modern ethical and moral issues and the latest political.
legal and cultural developments and to interpret them in the light of biblical teaching,
particularly where there may be issues of concern to those of the Christian faith.
During this period, Christian Concern either hosted or was invited to speak at a total of 118
events lexcluding Round the Table). For example, Education Revolution gathered ov8r 220
people from across the UK with v8ry positive feedback. The event aimed to help support and
equip faithful Christians who are wanting to develop bold education initiatives, and also those
who are seeking to remain faithful in the education sphere.
Christian Concern continued to host a weekly online podcast. known as Round the Table.
where members of the team invited guests to discuss Christian perspectives on topical
issues. Round the Table was watched live by an average ol 40 people each week. and
thousands have watched since with an average total viewing of 1030 per episode.
Faith, Truth & Hope continues to support Christian Concern's work to inform and equip
communities online by providing a free education, news and information service.
Faith Truth & Hope has continued to support the work of the Wilberforce Academy. In
September 2023 over 70 delegates attended the Academy for a week of training and
equipping in Christian cultural engagement and biblical worldview. There has been significant
growth and development of the Wilberforce alumni community leading to the launch of the
Wilberforce Collective, a hub for Christian cultural engagement and thought leadership. The
Refocus Days. days of further teaching. t8Stimonies and fellowship. have continu8d to see
strong attendance. The Wilberforce Cultural Leadership Programme took place for a fourth
time in partnership with Crosslands Training. with over 20 young adults completing the
programme. The programme equips and empowers delegates to faithfully engage with their
spheres and communities.
Faith Truth & Hope continued to support the work of Wilberforce Publications Limited, which
publishes books (including e-booksl that assist and encourage readers to understand different
areas of society, culture. politics and philosophy. and apply Christian thinking.
An '80th Anniversary of D-Day' edition of Beyond the Odds.. Prowdence in Britain s W8rs of
the 20th Centurywas released in hardback format during the year.
Work commenced on The Nation's Gospel Volumo 311900-79451, a substantial tome. which
