Charitable Objects

To advance the Christian religion by providing training resources to churches to enable non-English 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 highquality 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:

  1. Encourage churches to engage with the gospel opportunity presented by the presence of people from many nations in the UK.

  2. Develop and maintain materials to equip churches with better cross-cultural understanding leading to welcoming, outreach and integration.

  3. Develop and maintain conversational materials for English language teachers to use in linguistic and gospel work.

  4. Provide consultancy and training to church-based language teaching

  5. Promote networking and training for church-based language classes through running the English Teaching & Outreach Forum and other events.

Main Activities of the Charity 2024-2025

New resources:

In this period we have produced a new resource book, ‘The Rescuer’, which is a hardcopy resource book, connecting with existing resources and especially the animations previously reported. It has proved very popular.

More creative projects are in the pipeline to help churches engage the nations in their communities and these will be reported on in future years.

Training:

We are now running quarterly online training sessions and these continue to be well attended, with positive feedback. In future, we aim to appoint someone to co-ordinate and develop this online training further.

In person training this period included the following highlights:

There was no Forum in this period, but planning was underway throughout this time for the October 2025 Forum, which will be reported on in next year’s report.

Personnel:

It was sad to say farewell to one staff member after 8 years working together, as Jonathan Norgate relinquished his part-time role with us to go full-time with his other employer, Crosslands. Jonathan will continue working alongside us in a voluntary capacity and will invite 2:19 to present to Crossland students.

It’s good to report that the team grew in the year 24/25 through one secondment and the recruitment of one specialist consultant.

Stuart Ward joined was seconded to 2:19 Teach to Reach from Grace Church Stirchley in July 2025 for one day per week. Stu’s role is Midlands Hub and Resource Developer. The hope is that this secondment runs well and is renewed in June 2026.

2:19 Teach to Reach also recruited a marketing consultant for 4 hours per week. Gavin Delap joined us during this period and has begun developing a marketing strategy and policy, alongside the Director of Operations. This role may be expanded to include social media posting in subsequent years, if things go well.

Serving the Public Benefit

In its fifth year as a registered charity Two:Nineteen has served the public benefit by continuing to produce high quality resources, advising and supporting churches on issues relating to English language and crosscultural engagement. We have delivered online and in person training seminars which further helped volunteers develop their abilities.

Achievements against objectives set

Bearing in mind that Two:Nineteen is a relatively small charity, the above performance is in keeping with the modest objectives set out in our strategic document. More in person and online training events have been delivered when compared to the previous year, showing growth. Our resources portfolio continues to grow, which is the main thing churches are demanding and for which they express their gratitude. 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.

Esther Houghton is nearing then end of her term and would like to be relieved in light of her other commitments. Mr Peter Root has been suggested as a replacement. He has many years’ experience both in the world of mission and in HR.

Policies and Procedures

All policies and procedures continue to be reviewed and updated, as necessary. This year we have identified various gaps as we grow and expand. A marketing policy and a collaboration policy will be produced and mentioned in next year’s report.

Organisation structure and pay scales

During most of this period the charity had five paid employees, all part-time. One left at the end of August 2025, as mentioned above (Jonathan Norgate). These employees filled the following positions – Chief

Executive Officer; Director of Operations; ESL Specialist; Materials and Resource Developer (ended August 2025); Administrator.

After last year’s pay rise of 5% (Feb 2024) salaries have remained the same during this period. The charity has three tiers of staffing with corresponding pay scales. There were two employees in tier 1 and three employees in tier 2 for most of the reporting year.

Tier 1 - Executives £32,397.00 p/a Tier 2 - Specialists £29,452.00 p/a Tier 3 - Administrators £28,113.00 p/a

During this period we instructed a marketing consultant (Gavin Delap) for 4 hours per week and entered into a secondment agreement with Grace Church Stirchley for Stu Ward to work with us for 1 day per week. These two arrangements, though not employments, increased our expenditure on personnel.

Employee contracts, training and CPD

With the exception of the employee who left in this period, all employee contracts are due to be reviewed and, hopefully, renewed in September 2025 to refresh on 1[st] October 2025, again as two-year contracts. Employees are still spread 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.

We are looking at the need for more face-to-face meetings, which will be reported on next year. This year we had a staff day together in March and considered various high-level topics, including staff input into our strategy review.

Compulsory training on various topics continues every 6 weeks during staff meetings. Employees are encouraged to undergo continual professional development in areas pertaining to their field of expertise. These include attending conferences, reading recommended books, webinars and completing online courses.

Working with other organisations

Naturally, we have regular contact with churches and church networks across the country.

We continue to build relationships with other organisations who work within similar fields and are regularly in contact with many such. E,g. The Salvation Army contacted us this year to discuss a possible resource collaboration. And people from other organisations often deliver our webinar training.

We note a need to develop a collaboration policy to ensure that these contacts and occasional collaboration opportunities are well thought through and that all charity activity continues to meet our charitable aims, as detailed above. This will be mentioned in next year’s report.

Financial Review

Financial position at the end of the period

Our unrestricted income (mostly sales, with some donations) was £9,739, and the restricted income (donations to staff salaries and project funds) was £77,321– a total of £87,060 (in 2023-24, total £100,582).

Our unrestricted expenditure was £6,316, and our restricted funds expenditure was £76,108 – a total of £82,425 (in 2023-24, total expenditure ££85,665).

Reserves

In line with our reserves policy, we continue to put £100 pcm towards building reserves. The goal is to have enough to cover payroll (wages and pensions) and operating costs for a period of three months. At the end of this period the reserves stand at £4000.

Balance held

At the end of the year the charity held £16,562 in unrestricted funds; and £57,625 in restricted funds.

Principal sources of funds

As previously reported, the principal source of funding for the charity continues to come from donations from individuals and churches. Product and service sales also provide a small income, including income from our membership programme, which will be reviewed and refreshed next year.

Two major donors give, one annually and another monthly, specifically to cover payroll for the bulk of the charity’s employees. The trustees have identified this as a potential financial risk for future years and the team continue to work towards broadening the donor base and attracting funding from trusts and grant making bodies.

We have a loyal base of donors giving monthly and another group of donors who give one-off donations through the year. Most of these smaller donations are restricted and are given to cover the payroll of specific employees.

Key risks facing the charity

As previously reported, the charity continues to face two main risks, one financial and one around business continuity. Financially the loss of one of our major donors would be a significant risk to the continued smooth running of the charity. The second risk is less tangible, but the founders (a married 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 the next period. This discussion will naturally sit alongside financial planning for the needs of the charity.
