Trustees’ Annual Report Year ended 30 June 2025

The trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statements of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

Objectives and activities

The purpose of Hope2families, as set out in the Company’s Memorandum of Association, is to help families who are suffering through the illness of cancer, and subsequently those affected by other debilitating illnesses, by bringing them hope through the Lord Jesus Christ. Hope2families in the last year has increased its vision and is continuing to help those affected with alcohol and drug addiction.

Public benefit statement

1) PES support for families | We want to provide practical, emotional, and spiritual support for families that come our way, specifically those battling with cancer.
2) Instilling hope for families | We want to instil hope to any individual who comes in contact with our charity.
3) Restoration for families | We want to provide restoration for children, parents, and families; mending wounds and healing hurts.
4) Raising awareness for families | We want to raise awareness for cancer sufferers, those with addiction and impoverished families, providing them financial support and making people aware of the difficult situations’ families are so often plunged into.

The public continue to benefit in many different aspects, with help being brought to all families whether that is hospital visits, hospital appointments, the Drop-In café, rehabilitation referrals. Drug community appointments and speaking at various events by Marc Taylor throughout the year.

Achievements and performance

1) Diverse Online Content. We live in an age of technology, so we want to utilise it. We continue to upload various content on a range of platforms, including podcasts. We have endeavoured in the last year to engage with a wider audience and provide many motivational and encouraging posts in relation to addiction, cancer and mental health. During the past year we have tried once again to bring encouragement and challenge to many hard-hitting subject areas.
2) Our Programs. We provide informative training programs such as education on drug and alcohol rehabilitation, education on supporting those with cancer and our ‘abiding support program’ whereby we help those with cancer understand their diagnosis, reconcile their diagnosis and adjust to life with their diagnosis. In the last year we have overseen several drug addicts going into recovery and 50% have not relapsed. Our Friday night social nights have proved to be a huge success with so many coming in for Pizza and Movie, or Puddings and Movies, this has given many in the local community who struggle at the weekends with something to do a safe place to come and enjoy a great evening.
3) Events. The Causeway Coast And Glens Age Concern have launched this year their Dementia Cafe & Support Group. This has been such a huge success and many dementia sufferers and their carers have been coming on a Wednesday afternoon. During the year we held two outreach events at the University with over 100 students in attendance on both occasions, another event is upcoming in Stranmillis University in November.

Trustees’ Annual Report Year ended 30 June 2025

4) Hands of Hope. This is the practical hands-on side of the charity. This has continued to be a huge benefit to people not just in Coleraine. During this year we have had the privilege of helping many move into their new homes, cutting grass, painting and cleaning up.
5) Agape Charity Shop. This year we have been putting together the finishing touches to our new Agape Charity Shop, this provides the public with many items from new and used clothing, bric-a-brac and household items at very reasonable prices.
6) Prison. We continue to visit prisoners in both Maghaberry and Magilligan and during the past year we had our first visit into Hydebank Prison.
7) Hospital Visits. These visits have increased somewhat over the last year with two days per week on average (sometimes more) and also continuing to visit many on their discharge.

Hope2families in the last financial year has continued to achieve its purpose and goals. We have saw an increase in numbers coming to Hope Café especially on a Friday for soup kitchen. Over the year we have been privileged to provide groceries and household appliances to various families. The monthly Friday night movie and pizza/popcorn nights have proved to be a great success with many coming from the local community.

Financial review

The financial results are as set out on pages 8 – 10 of the accounts. The charity’s main source of income is from donations. Total income for 2025 was £38,075 compared to 2024 of £32,419. Total expenditure for 2025 was £45,262 compared to 2024 of £47,292.

Structure, governance, and management

The board of trustees named above continue to work to be the accountability and over-riding decision making management of the operation of the charity. This is achieved through quarterly and regular planned trustee meetings at which a full outline of past progress and strategic forward planning and any financial changes are discussed, and the appropriate minutes recorded. Financial accountability is always made readily available through regular recording, receipt keeping, and all monies being handled from the free-will offering box within the Hope2Families centre, all of which is accounted for by two people being present.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity trustees (and also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

• examine the accounts under section 65 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008;

• follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act; and

state whether particular matters have come to our attention.

Basis of independent examiner's report

I have examined your charity accounts as required under section 65 of the Charities Act and my examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act. The examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as charity trustees concerning any such matters.

Notes to the Financial Statements Year ended 30 June 2025

1. General information

The company is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in Northern Ireland. The address of the registered office is 15 Ballyveely Road, Armoy, Ballymoney BT53 8UX.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 201 9 )’, issued in October 2019 and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Income

Income is recognised in the period in which the Charity is entitled to receipt and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in capital and reserves, except to the extent it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in capital and reserves in respect of that asset. Where a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in capital and reserves in respect of that asset, the excess shall be recognised in profit or loss.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Premises improvements 10% straight line Fixtures, fittings & equipment 10% reducing balance Motor vehicles 15% reducing balance
