Charitable Objects
To advance the Christian religion by providing training resources to churches to enable nonEnglish speaking members of the local community to participate in the activities of the local church, including by providing instruction in English language.
Introduction / Background
Two:Nineteen grew out of the ministry experiences of founders, David and Maura Baldwin. After eleven years’ missionary experience in Ethiopia, David and Maura arrived in Reading where they saw the need for high-quality conversational English to serve a real need in the community for improving English speaking skills, as well as providing the opportunity to build genuine relationships and share the gospel of Jesus.
Two:Nineteen was birthed in 2013, initially under Serving in Mission UK (Registered Charity No. 219763). Our vision was to help more and more churches connect with the international communities around them, sharing the model and their experience of using English as a way to serve and to share the gospel.
Two:Nineteen became an independent charity with its own Trustees and Leadership team on 1 October 2020.
Purpose and Aims
Two:Nineteen includes in its objects, ‘advancing the Christian religion’; it has also adopted a Statement of Faith. We seek at all times to reflect Christian principles and practice in all our operations.
The aims of Two:Nineteen are to:
-
Encourage churches to engage with the gospel opportunity presented by the presence of people from many nations in the UK.
-
Develop and maintain materials to equip churches with better cross-cultural understanding leading to welcoming, outreach and integration.
-
Develop and maintain conversational materials for English language teachers to use in linguistic and gospel work.
-
Provide consultancy and training to church-based language teaching
-
Promote networking and training for church-based language classes through running the English Teaching & Outreach Forum and other events.

Main Activities of the Charity
The main activities of the charity fall into three categories: resources and training for English language, cultural engagement and outreach.
New resources:
At the beginning of the year ‘Utter Wisdom’ was launched at our English Teaching and Outreach Forum event. It perhaps has a broader audience than previous publications and was championed by several contacts influential in teaching and training. During the year we also created and released two sets of cards accompanying it for use in class.
Two of the team spent much of this year working on the next book, which we hope to release in 2024 with endorsement from Dan Strange as a follow up volume to his ‘Making Faith Magnetic’.
Our design partner has also continued to work on animating the first ten stories from the So Lord Speak series, again for 2024 completion.
Training:
Across the year four training events have been completed, available online for maximum reach. These are offered free of charge to members.
Resourcing others :
We continue to have regular opportunities to speak and share at different churches and events. This year these included an interview about 2:19 with a Hong Kong national who will lead the service at Argyle Community Church, Reading and some cross-cultural training on “Welcoming Overseas People” at Duke Street, Richmond.
The ESL Lead Specialist and DO attended the Equipped to Welcome event at Glenabbey Church, Northern Ireland leading a seminar called “Talk, Talk” aimed at helping local churches start and develop English Language classes and storytelling clubs.
Staff:
The DO worked less hours due to family needs and the CEO took on some of the responsibilities previously assigned to her.
The Website and Social Media Manager increased her hours and we appointed a new part time Administrator to support the team.
Serving the Public Benefit
In its third year as a charity Two:Nineteen has served the public benefit by continuing to advise and support churches on issues relating to English language and cross-cultural engagement. We have delivered online training seminars which further helped volunteers develop their abilities.

Achievements against objectives set
Bearing in mind that Two:Nineteen is a new and relatively small charity, the above performance is in keeping with the modest objectives set out in our strategic document. The trustees are consequently pleased with these achievements.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Constitution, and the Trustees
The charity is set up according to the constitution submitted to the Charity Commission in 2020, and is registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, with six trustees that oversee the direction and work of the charity.
The initial tenure of the trustees was staggered at the formation of the charity (two trustees would serve for 1 year; two trustees for 2 years; and two trustees for 3 years). Each trustee could then volunteer to serve further terms of 3 years. This safeguards the continuation of knowledge through the trustees by ensuring no more than two trustees would change at any point.
Policies and Procedures
In the past twelve months of operation, the charity has reviewed and updated some of its policies and procedures, including creating a Financial Standard Operationing Procedures document.
Organisation structure and pay scales
At the end of this financial year the charity had six paid employees, all part-time. The six employees filled the following positions – Chief Executive Officer; Director of Operations; ESL Specialist; Materials and Resource Developer; Administrator; Social Media and Website Manager.
The charity has three tiers of staffing with corresponding pay scales. There were two employees in each tier.
Tier 1 - Executives £30,855.00 p/a Tier 2 - Specialists £28,050.00 p/a Tier 3 - Administrators £26,775.00 p/a
The trustees have agreed to review these at the start of the next financial year.
Employee contracts, training and CPD
All employees have signed two-year contracts with the charity. Employees are scattered across the country and generally work from home. Therefore, all employees were provided with information on Health and Safety procedures and asked to undertake a workstation selfassessment when they signed their contracts.

Compulsory training in matters such as GDPR have occurred during staff meetings. These regular meeting have also included training on other relevant topics. Employees are encouraged to undergo continual professional development in areas pertaining to their field of expertise. These include attending conferences, webinars and completing online courses.
Working with other organisations
We have regular contact with churches across the country, and many more in our wider network purchase resources or subscribe to our regular newsletters.
As the charity settles into its fourth year, we are slowly building relationships with other organisations who work within similar fields. We have extended our contract with Interserve (charity number 1020758) for a secondee to work with us eight hours a week, expanding our network into Manchester and developing more resources.
In 2023 our partnership with Bible Society for promoting and sales through the Bible Society website remained in place, although we have been disappointed with sales figures. A promotional push is expected in 2023-4.
Financial Review
Financial position at the end of the period
Our unrestricted income (mostly sales, with some donations) was £22,768, and the restricted income (donations to staff salaries and project funds) was £52,443 – a total of £75,211 (in 2021-22, total £136,903). Part of the reduction from the year before is explained by receiving a large donor’s grant towards salaries in one FY which is to be used in the next.
Our unrestricted expenditure was £15,362, and our restricted funds expenditure was £67,307 – a total of £82,669 (in 2021-22, total expenditure £99,909). We spent less than in the previous financial year, including some which was restricted funds received in that year.
Policy for holding reserves
Over the next year Two:Nineteen will seek to place £20,000 in reserve. This will cover payroll (wages and pensions) for a period of three months, with a small amount of additional funds to cover running costs and general expenses over the same period. A reserves policy has been produced and approved by the trustees, the budget for the subsequent fiscal years will build the reserve further.
Balance held
At the end of the year the charity held £15,940 in unrestricted funds; and £38,696 in restricted funds.
Principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)
The principal source of funding for the charity comes from donations, with product sales also providing a small income.

Charity Commission Annual Report for the year ending 30 September 2023
One major donor gives annually, specifically to cover payroll for the bulk of the charity’s employees. The trustees have identified this as a financial risk for future years and the team will be working to build the donor base in 2023-4 (see below).
We have a loyal base of donors giving monthly and another group of donors who give oneoff donations through the year. The majority of these smaller donations are restricted and are given to cover the payroll of specific employees.
Key risks facing the charity
Based on the risk assessment conducted, the charity faces two main risks, one financial and one around business continuity. Financially the loss of our major donor would be a significant risk to the continued smooth running of the charity. The second risk is less tangible, but the founders (a couple) hold a significant amount of the charity’s history, vision, and knowledge between them. They also hold the two executive positions in the charity. The loss of one, or both, of these persons would significantly impact the stability of the charity. The trustees will continue to discuss succession planning with the founders through 2023-4.
