## **A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO**
This year has marked a significant transition for Kintsugi Hope as the co-founders Patrick & Diane Regan moved on halfway through the year, and I took on the role of CEO.
In a time when many feel fractured and alone, Kintsugi Hope has, through its network of partner churches/organisations, continued to offer something rare: safe spaces where people are allowed to be vulnerable, and where healing begins not in isolation, but in community.
From the highlands of Scotland to the streets of London, and from church basements to Zoom calls, the message from our volunteer Wellbeing Group Leaders has remained the same:
We are not alone, and our brokenness does not disqualify us. In fact, it may be the very place where transformation begins.
Thank you for walking with us, praying for us, supporting us, and believing with us that restoration is possible. I hope you are inspired as you read the stories of hope and evidence of impact in this report. With gratitude to all our supporters and hope for all Kintsugi Hope participants,

## **THE HEART OF OUR WORK: WELLBEING GROUPS**
At the core of Kintsugi Hope is a belief that everyone deserves a place to feel safe, seen, and supported. During 2024/5, this vision has taken shape through a growing network of wellbeing groups that meet regularly across the UK. These groups are not counselling sessions they are communities of kindness. They provide space for people to explore topics such as anxiety, shame, resilience and hope, all through the lens of faith and compassion. 308 **GROUPS**
**BY THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD, 308 ACTIVE GROUPS HAD BEEN RUN, INVOLVING OVER 2,800 PARTICIPANTS.**
**EVERY ONE OF THESE NUMBERS REPRESENTS A STORY, A PERSON WHO DARED TO SHOW UP, AND A JOURNEY OF TRANSFORMATION.**
**4**
**"I was just surviving, going through the motions. The group became my anchor. I could finally talk about the pain I’d carried for years. And I wasn’t judged I was embraced."**
**The number of youth and student wellbeing groups was also encouraging. Over 38 youth groups ran this year, with more than 380 young people engaging with the material in meaningful and life-giving ways.**
## **STORIES OF TRANSFORMATION: VOICES FROM THE COMMUNITY**
“The group gave me the courage to speak about things I’ve never shared before. I no longer feel alone.”
Participant, Chelmsford Diocese
“I came to the group feeling broken. I left feeling seen, heard, and valued. It’s changed how I see myself.” Group Member, West Yorkshire
“Our wellbeing group has become a lifeline for so many in our church. It’s not just a course; t’s a community.” Group Leader, Scotland
“I was nervous to join, but the warmth and honesty of the group helped me open up. I’ve found hope again.” Youth Participant, Northern Ireland
“Running a group in our school has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve done. The students are more open, more resilient, and more connected.”
Teacher, Kintsugi Youth Group
“The training was excellent. I feel equipped and empowered to support others with compassion and confidence.” New Group Leader, London

## Mark tells us about starting a Men’s Wellbeing Group
**In early 2024, after having facilitated two previous Kintsugi wellbeing groups, I was conscious that men had been underrepresented. I thought to myself this did not seem right. Men also have emotional health needs and challenges. An idea came to set establish a men's only group. Would men then be more likely to sign up?**
**The group was advertised and within two weeks 12 men had signed up. After some hesitancy in the first few weeks, the conversations opened as we worked through each of the course topics. Honesty, openness, thoughtfulness, challenge, debate, good humour and warmth ensued...along with copious coffee, tea, biscuits and pizza.**
**The group were from mixed backgrounds in terms of their life experiences. This enriched and widened our understanding of each other, while taking comfort and hope from our common humanity and struggles. All continued through to complete the course. I had been convinced we would lose a few en route but it was not to be. Indeed "What now?" was a common question at the end!**
**Feedback from the group was positive having appreciated the way the course helps us have a healthier, more hopeful, relationship with our emotions. As a group facilitator, ably assisted with my co-facilitator, the course was deeply fulfilling to run. It is not possible to run the course and not grow in some way yourself. For these 12 weeks, it was my favourite evening of the week!”**

## **GATHERING, CELEBRATING AND EQUIPPING**
This year’s highlight for many was our “No Ordinary Hope” Conference. It brought together a diverse family of volunteers, group leaders, staff, and supporters. Over half of the attendees were active group leaders. Through worship, stories, workshops and laughter, we were reminded that hope isn’t naïve; it’s defiant. It’s a light that refuses to go out.
One group leader reflected afterwards:
**“I arrived weary, wondering if I still had anything to give. I left with tears in my eyes and fire in my heart. I remembered why I said yes in the first place.”**
Across the year, we also held information sessions, group experience taster events, and regional gatherings to help grow awareness and deepen the sense of connection among our community. Partner events at Spring Harvest, Elim Leaders’ Summit, and the Brighter Days Tour allowed us to extend our reach to thousands of people.
## **PARTNERSHIP AND PRESENCE ACROSS THE UK**
Kintsugi Hope would not be possible without our Partner Organisations; churches, charities, chaplaincies and community groups who carry the vision into their local contexts. This year, we welcomed 31 new partners into the Kintsugi Hope movement and we trained over 150 new volunteer Group Leaders. We’re looking forward to seeing this number multiply as we keep pressing forwards to see hope-filled safe spaces in every town and city in the UK.
While we did see a number of partners pause or conclude their involvement reflecting the changing landscape and pressures on the local church, we know there are many who are able to partner with us still and are encouraged by the number of people joining information sessions to find out more.
In Scotland, Northern Ireland and England, our regional teams have continued to spark new opportunities; from training youth workers to equipping social prescribers, from speaking at conventions to writing election-focused case studies on the church’s role in mental health care. These regional developments are vital to ensuring our support is relational, contextual, and sustainable.

## **YOUNG PEOPLE AND STUDENTS: MEETING THE NEXT GENERATION**
Our work with young people has taken bold steps this year. Joel Harris, our Youth Lead, spoke on main stages at national events, including Spring Harvest and Youth Alpha's “Open Generation” conference. We also hosted our own youth retreat, where young people from partner organisations came together for worship, reflection and fun.
In schools, youth groups and churches, Kintsugi Hope Youth is helping young people find words for their struggles and hope for their futures. One teenager told us,
**“I thought I was the only one who felt like this. Now I know I’m not alone, and that changes everything”**
**11**
## **TELLING OUR STORY AND SPREADING THE WORD**
Through newsletters, articles, radio interviews, social media, and national campaigns, we continued to raise awareness and challenge stigma. Our online reach grew by over 100%, with tens of thousands engaging with our content each month. We’ve published articles for Evangelical Alliance, participated in public debates, and spoken into national conversations around mental health and spirituality.
Our donor newsletter and behind-the-scenes stories reminded people that every gift makes a difference.
## **FAITHFUL GIVING AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH**
The past year hasn’t been without its challenges, including some unexpected funding changes and a dip in recurring contributions. Yet, our community has responded with generosity and faith. We secured new grants and submitted several promising applications with trusted funders.
We also took part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge and continued to invest in digital systems that will strengthen our financial resilience in the years to come.
In total, over £30,000 in new trust applications were submitted, and over 1,000 individuals continued to give through monthly donations.
**12**
## **A YEAR OF TEAMWORK, TRANSITION AND TRANSFORMATION**
Behind every event and every group is a team of people giving their best; often behind the scenes. This year involved leadership transitions, staff changes, system upgrades, and a lot of prayer. From our national conference to our staff retreat, we’ve worked hard to stay grounded in our values of authenticity, generosity, honesty and relationships.
We welcomed new colleagues, said goodbye to others, and leaned into the deep sense that this is a movement, not a machine. A living, breathing community held together by shared purpose.
**13**
## **RISK**
The risks faced by Kintsugi Hope are reviewed at Trustee meetings. This review includes changes in terms of level or likelihood, steps taken to mitigate risks, and any new risks identified. Current risks identified include:
Cost of living crisis, reduction in donations
- Lack of cash flow to sustain the organisation
- Organisation growth vs capacity to deliver
- Skills and capacity of Trustees
- Safeguarding
Reputational risk
A strategic plan is in place for each area of risk to plan for minimal risk level or likelihood.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
I report on the accounts of Kintsugi Hope for the year ended 31st March 2025 which are set out on pages 20 to 27.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (The Act) but that an independent examination is needed. The charities gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Association of Accounting Technicians.
It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s Statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes considerations of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In the course of my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **KINTSUGI HOPE**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025**
## **1.1 Basis of the preparation of the accounts**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement on Recommended Practise applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
## **1.2 Income recognition**
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations, are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the granting of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
## **1.3 Expenditure recognition**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings.
## **1.4 Depreciation**
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected life as follows:
