ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Activites and Achievements Our main work is delivering drug prevention and life skills sessions to children and young people, and training the adults who work with, and look after, them. Ideally this work takes place In person, over several sessions. We go where we are invited, and work with the host to develop relevant and bespoke sessions to the groups we will be working with. However, we will also deliver online workshops - some we host ourselves, others are for organisations where this is helpful for them. We also offer a suite of resources for organisations and Individuals to download and use, including e-learning units, lesson plans, games and activities.

In-Person Sessions In 2025, we took 2,277 in-person sessions, working with 24,931 people. These sessions are usually a mixture of drug information and related issues - including county lines, recognising grooming, and life skills. As usual we worked with a wide variety of ages and groups. We continued to work with schools and youth groups, foster care agencies, mentoring organisations, social workers, Street Pastors, ladies’ groups, health visitors and many more. New groups included Sheffield Inclusion Centre, Bexley Grammar School, Thurrock Deanery Synod, Wellingborough Job Centre, Antioch Centre, Grace Church, Worcester Cathedral, Rock UK, West Mercia Police - and many morel We worked in Scotland, Wales and England.

In 2025, we increased the number of at-risk young people we worked with or had an impact on. This was achieved both through working directly with the young people themselves, and in training school staff and others working with children and young people. Sessions included training with foster care agencies - their staff, foster parents, and social workers, as well as sesstons for looked after young people. We also worked with alternative provision providers - again training staff and working directly with their pupils.

‘Well done on the training - I've heard nothing but really positive comments from anyone, and that hardly ever happens.’ (Youth Worker, Worcestershire)

‘Thank you so much for coming to Worcester and delivering the training to our team. We have had a lot of feedback already to say how much they enjoyed the training and how much they found the sessions both interesting and informative. Lots of practitioners say they feel they are now better equipped to have conversattons about substances, how they are used and how to support families using them.’ (Family Support Workers, Worcestershire)

Juntor Citizens and Safety Zones In 2025, we were involved in 15 schemes, working with 18,042 year 6 pupils. Students spent a morning or afternoon learning from the police, ambulance and fire services, Hope UK (doing a basic drug workshop), TfL (In London) and various other organisations. We covered a variety of substances and use each one to give a relevant message. For example, we might show a bag with a herb in - the group will decide it might be cannabis. We then use this to discuss drugs and mental health, and also to teach about criminal records, and how they can affect your future. As in 2025, we were joined by a post-GCSE work experience student - who impressed us with her willingness and ability to watch us and then take over the workshops!

In Nottinghamshire we continued to be involved with a similar scheme - Safety Zones - reaching 1,581 year 6 pupils. We were also able to deliver our own JCS scheme in our Kettering bullding, supported by Kettering Police, Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue and the Schools Healthy Eating team.

Detached work and exhibitions When we do exhibitions, we tend also to do detached work. We use our education activities to do informal drug prevention and life skill work with people who visit our stand, For example, we might focus on identifying drug samples, so participants can learn what | drugs look like (for adult only exhibitions). ' This year we hosted stands at the Joined-Up conference, Big Church Festival, Christian Resource Exhibition and the National Youth ; Ministry Weekend. We also led seminars at all except the Blg Church Festival. Other events : Our Annual Quiz Night in our Kettering office. As usual we had a full house of people from various groups and businesses who Joined us for an evening of quizzing and food, donating to Hope UK for the privilege!

Local Work and Locally Affiliated Groups 1 From time-to-time small temperance groups close and give their remaining resources to Hope UK.

In 2025, Hope UK East Midlands and Hope UK Sheffield were the most active. Hope UK Northamptonshire recruited : a new project worker who started with us in April and our new project worker in South Wales completed her training and started : working In local schools, with a small group of volunteers. | Page 3 i

Hope UK Sheffleld: The last year has been an exciting one for Hope UK Sheffield. During the 2024/25 school year, we decided to offer a limited number of free lessons to schools. During this period, we delivered 13 sessions to nearly 400 pupils. As well as being really well received, this also generated teacher evaluation comments that could be used to support grant applications. We completed applications to seven charitable foundations and received grants from three, totalling £5900. This has allowed us to offer 75 hours of free lessons to Sheffield schools in the 2025/26 academic year and the same again for 2026/27. There has been really good uptake from schools across the city - both primary and secondary. In total, we delivered 26 sesstons tn schools during 2025 reaching over 850 students. We also delivered sessions for youth and family workers, Street Pastors, parents, and a youth club. Andy once again exhibited at Joined Up conference, an annual youth and family workers conference, gathering people from across the city, and for the third consecutive year he was invited to lead a workshop as part of the day. Volunteer Tabi has helped Andy with some sessions and has led a workshop for a church youth group and represented Hope UK at a COFFREE event. Hope UK Sheffield has continued to be served faithfully by Jonathan Bucktey (chair), Adele Pilkington (secretary) and Helen Shackleton (treasurer).

Andy continued to support the delivery of the local authority project in Worcestershire, both in-person and leading online courses; and the basic training programme for volunteers.

Hope UK Northamptonshire:

Our part-time project worker started with us In April 2025. Her local group, Hope UK Northamptonshire, has continued to have Graham Tilney as Chair, Kate Sandison as Secretary and Chrissy Becares as Treasurer. Currently, there aren't any volunteers in Northamptonshire, and this is a priority for 2026. Throughout the year, the project worker was busy running detached stands at various events and meeting with many individuals for collaboration purposes.

Our project worker attended and facilitated 17 events in 2025

The attendance and facilitation of these events created opportunities for future collaborations with other organisations. In addition, it has raised awareness for the work we do in Hope UK Northamptonshire.

Hope UK East Midlands: Hope UK East Midlands continued to be ably facilitated by Michelle Arthurton (Chair), Maureen Miller (Secretary) and Jackie Jamieson (Treasurer). The Hope UK East Midlands Team consists of Michelle, Maureen, Osas, Ruth, Jackle (who trained as an Educator during the year) and also lan Michell, who is the Project Worker.

The members of the team led a variety of sesstons in Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire during the year.

As with tast year, most of the team participated in Safety Zones, which involved taking drug prevention sessions for a total of 1,581 year 6 pupils across Nottinghamshire. These took place over 14 days in three locations.

And in Lincolnshire, Michelle and Jackie delivered five drug prevention sessions in two primary schools near Skegness; St. Helena's and Burgh-le-Marsh.

Other sesstons, most of which were organised by Michelle, involved a further 87 participants, including events at a Boys' Brigade group, Praise in the Park, and a nursery.

In total we spoke to about 3,000 children, young people and adults during the course of the year. The above could not have been accomplished without the hard work of our voluntary drug educators in the East Midlands Team.

Hope UK South Wales:

During 2025, Trish Best, our local project worker, facilitated two drug awareness sessions for adults (parents, grandparents) in a church in Llanelli, Trish and our two experienced Hope UK volunteers in Swansea have just started delivering drug awareness sessions in a primary school in Swansea, with a year 5/6 group. Trish has also been contacting local churches In the Swansea area, and hopes to develop links in 2026. Trish completed two full length church talks in 2025, one of which was in Llanelli and one was Ina church in Swansea. She also had her first Hope UK stand at a family fun day, which was well attended. Trish successfully completed and passed all the OCN Drug Awareness accredited courses and the OCN Planning, Delivering and Evaluating drug awareness sessions, accredited course. She has also attended the Drug, Life and You course.

Social Media Hope UK is active on Instagram and Facebook, using these platforms to promote our work and highlight drug-related issues. In 2025, we increased our followers and interactions in both social media sites.

Media Our press and media officer gained increased coverage of our work in 2025 compared to previous years. Hope UK stories were published in 18 print media, Including local newspapers, Christian media and one national newspaper. Mary's stories promoted a new member of staff - Trish in South Wales - and featured the work of our East Midlands team at the summer Safety Zones programme in Nottinghamshire. As well as this, Mary delivered Hope UK responses to news stories about alcohol and drugs on Christian radio; she was heard both live and pre-recorded on Premier Christian Radio and UCB on numerous occasions throughout the year. UCB 2's ‘This is my Story’ featured Sarah sharing her own personal story - and how and why she got involved with Hope UK. In addition, Mary obtalned coverage of events Including our Juntor Citizens at Kettering HQ and our Band of Hope audio-visual history evening in the Northamptonshire Telegraph online, as part of our media strategy to promote our work and presence locally. Hope UK's Christmas tree at this year's Kettering Christmas Tree Festival featured briefly on Anglia TV news - our logo prominently displayed in the final shot of the news bulletin!

Annual Meeting and Conference: Our Annual Meeting was held in April, at our Annual Conference. This was attended by staff, trustees, volunteers, Generation Hope members and supporters. We used the event to get people caught up with new resources and activities, update their drug knowledge, and to give people a chance to practice their skills. Staff Team Our staff team in 2025 Included five full-time members of staff - CEO, Finance Officer, Administrator, Fundraiser and Volunteer Support Co-ordinator. Our Volunteer Co-ordinator retired in February and was replaced by our new Volunteer Coordinator and Church Engagement Officer. We have four part-time local workers in Sheffield, Northamptonshire, South Wales and East Midlands. We have an assessor employed part time, and a part-time PR and press officer. In 2025 we recruited a part-time administrator who will also help us improve our social media posts and videos.

The Volunteer Drug Educators For the last 31 years, Hope UK has been training suitable volunteers to become Drug Educators in thelr own communities, working with children and young people in schools, colleges, pupil referral units, hostels, youth groups, and from stands in busy streets and marketplaces. Drug awareness sessions are also provided for parents, teachers and other professtonals to enable them to include drug education in their work with children and young people.

Educators can volunteer to run ‘detached’ stands - working in very informal environments (for example, a shopping centre) doing drug-prevention activities with passers-by. The training course we use to train our educational volunteers Is accredited with the Open College Network and consists of 120 hours of distance and online learning and four (usually residential) practical training weekends.

At the start of 2025 our Volunteer Co-ordinator - who had been on long-term sick leave - retired. We were delighted when Becky joined our team in September, as our new Volunteer and Church Engagement Officer. She will be working on rebuilding our team of volunteers. Despite our lack of a volunteer co-ordinator for most of the year, our volunteers were active delivering JCS/Safety Zones, working with youth organisations, speaking to church and community groups and running detached stands.

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Plans for 2026 In 2026, we want to focus on developing activities we know are effective, and on recruitment and training of new volunteer educators. As part of these aims, we hope to:

Activities, Achievements and Plans for Scotland

We do not currently have an employed member of staff tn Scotland. Our Volunteer Co-ordinator continues to support the two active volunteers, and we hope to recruit more volunteers in the future. Our volunteers engaged in activities where possible - including regular (weekly) one-to-one work with families, In 2025, our volunteers ran a detached stand at a hospital and continue the one-to-one work, meeting approximately 124 people.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Risk Factors

The Trustees consider that areas of risk fall into two overall areas of finance and infrastructure (income, expenditure, buildings, equipment, ICT and security); and personnel and operational issues (recruitment, training, provision of talks and training by staff and voluntary educators, health and safety, management systems, employment legislation issues, safeguarding, and confidentiality).

,

The Trustees have mitigated the finance and infrastructure risks by:

The Trustees have mitigated the personnel and operational risks by:

Governance

in 2022, trustees began a process of reviewing all areas of governance, using the Charities Governance Code, produced by NCVO and others. This process Is a continuous part of trustee meetings, where relevant. Trustees are happy that we were acting in fine with the code. Where some minor issues were Identified, relevant changes were initiated as soon as possible, at least by the next trustee meeting.

Resources Hope UK relies on income from trusts, companies, other voluntary organisations (like churches), and Individual donors. An investment portfolio (see below) is managed to produce Income in the form of dividends and Interest. As a service-providing charity, Hope UK normally does not make grants to other charities. However, the Trustees reserve the right to make small grants to organisations that will further Hope UK's aims. Hope UK's capital resources relate to the 25(F) Copperfield Street property which had been used as the national office and was held on a 999-year lease. This was sold in 2017 to provide further operating capital for the work of the charity.

Fundraising

We employed one full-time fundraiser until she left in September 2025. We are currently in the process of recruiting a new fundraiser. Trusts continued to support our work in 2025, and we are very grateful for them. We also used our social media campaigns to ralse funds and awareness. In October, we hosted our annual 'Coffree’ event, where people give up drinking coffee (or tea, or other caffeinated drinks) for one month, and donate the money saved to Hope UK. We also hosted a quiz night and fashion show to raise money.

We also received money from our contract with Worcestershire Public Health, to deliver training to school staff and youth workers 2025.

A Finance Group meets at least five times a year as a sub-group of trustees, reporting and making recommendations to the Trustee board. In 2023, this group, after discussion with our investment managers, moved our investments to lower-risk funds.

To comply with the charity's objects, the Trustees have implemented an ethical investment policy prohibiting investment in companies dealing with alcohol, tobacco, gambling and pornography.

Trustees have a policy to use reserves to support the work of Hope UK until the value of our reserves fall to six months’ worth of expenditure. We enter this year with just under twelve months' worth of reserves, and trustees continue to monitor this and will take appropriate action where necessary. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document Hope UK is a registered charlty In England, Wales and Scotland (1044475 registered on 24th February 1995 with the Charity Commission for England and Wales; and SC040550 registered on 2nd June 2009 with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator) and also a company limited by guarantee in England and Wales (3022470 incorporated on 16th February 1995). Hope UK (formerly the UK Band of Hope Union) was established under a Memorandum and Articles of Association which sets out Its objects and powers. In the event of the company being wound up its Trustees are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 each.

Recrultment and appointment of new trustees Hope UK's Trustees, who are also Directors for the purpose of Company Law, are normally appointed for three-year terms at the Annual Meeting. Should a casual vacancy occur, then a Trustee may be elected to fill the remaining term of that vacancy. All Trustees must be members of Hope UK.

Trustees retire by rotation and, If nominated, are able to offer themselves for re-election at the Annual Meeting.

The Trustees bring a wide range of professional and voluntary experience, including that of church pastor, youth worker, support officer for fostering and adoption, civil servant, optometrist, school governor, scientist, accountant, actor and cost assurance manager. Some of Hope UK's drug education and prevention work Is delivered by voluntary Drug Educators. Eight of the Trustees are also voluntary Drug Educators and bring this experience to their roles. Two of the trustees are members of our youth branch, Generation Hope.

From time to time the Trustees consider the mix of skills and experience represented amongst them and, when appropriate, have sought to maintain a broad mix by actively seeking nomination for sultably experienced individuals.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Organisational structure The Chief Executive Officer is accountable to the Trustees, who are provided with monthly updates of the charity's work. The CEO participates In Trustee meetings but has no vote. Trustees meet five times per year including the Annual General Meeting held in April. Trustee subgroups have been established to consider topics such as youth involvement, vision, marketing, fundraising, and finance.

In 2025, Hope UK had five full-time HQ staff members who functioned as one integrated team, though with differing responsibilities. Towards the end of the year this number reduced to four full-time staff members as our fundraiser moved to live abroad. We are currently in the process of recruiting a new fundraiser. We had four part-time Local Project Workers responsible for recruiting and supporting volunteers as well as delivering drug education in Northamptonshire, Sheffield, South Wales and East Midlands. We have a part-time PR and Press Office, a part-time assessor and part-time administrator.

We drew up a three-year plan at the end of 2024 and the start of 2025, to cover 2025 - 2027. This working document was used to Inform our work in 2025.

Induction and training of new trustees New trustees are given access to the NCVO's 'Good Trustee Guide’, and an explanation of the role and responsibility of Trustees is Included as part of the recruitment process. New trustees often attend NCVO training for new trustees. They also have meetings with the Chair, CEO, and Treasurer.

Trustees are sent Charity Commission Guides and other helpful information when they become available. Any training opportunities are forwarded to Trustees (for example, from our investment managers). All Trustees are encouraged to attend the Annual Conference and Annual Meeting to meet members and those who are providing drug education on Hope UK's behalf, and to participate in the training that takes place at this event. Specific items which require training or further Information are addressed as part of a Trustees’ meeting. Occasionally, trustees run short training courses for each other in their specialist area.

Responsibility of the Management Committee (Hope UK’s Trustees) Company law requires the Management Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of Its incoming resources and application of resources, Including income and expenditure, for the financlal year. In preparing those financial statements, the Management Committee should follow best practice and: - select sultable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the company will continue on that basis.

The Management Committee is responsible for maintatning proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Management Committee Is also responsible for safeguarding the assets and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Members of the Management Committee Members of the Management Committee, who are directors for the purpose of company law and trustees for the purpose of charity law, who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 3.

In accordance with company law, as the company's directors, we certify that: - so far as we are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s Independent examiner is unaware; and - as the directors of the company we have taken all the steps that we ought to have taken in order to make ourselves aware of any ‘relevant information and to establish that the charity's Independent examiner is aware of that information.
