Hope Together

What Hope Together does

Hope Together is a UK-registered Christian charity (Charity Number 1116005) founded in 2008 and operating from London with a 9-person staff. The organisation functions as a national mission-coordination and resource-production body, equipping UK churches and individuals to share the Christian faith through published materials, training courses, and coordinated outreach campaigns. Its core operations are not technology-platform based; instead, they centre on producing illustrated Gospel publications, children's books, magazines, and course materials, alongside running community initiatives such as Hope Spaces, Amplify, and national mission frameworks (e.g. Hope 23-24).

The product portfolio includes the illustrated Gospel of Mark, Luke, John, Acts, and New Testament publications (co-produced with Biblica in NIrV), regional and language editions (London, Ukrainian, Christmas), the God's Big Story Happyland children's series, the Hope for All and ALIVE magazines, and structured courses such as the 8-week Wellbeing Journey and the 6-session Talking Jesus course. Supporting assets include proprietary research (Talking Jesus, Talking Toddlers, Influencers: Peer to Peer) and a step-change into multimedia through the ALIVE film series developed with Bible Society and Kingsgate Church.

Hope Together's revenue model combines one-time product sales through its direct e-commerce shop (with public, tiered bulk pricing) with recurring donation income from individuals, churches, and partner organisations. Distribution leverages an ecumenical network spanning the Church of England, Baptist Union, and other denominations, alongside para-church partners (Bible Society, 24-7 Prayer, Cinnamon Network, Share Jesus International), with international reach into Ukraine, Ireland, and a planned Farsi edition for Iran. Demand generation is executed through the website, email newsletter, webinars, Christian media partnerships, social media, and the church network itself.

Direct peers

• Every Home For Christ: International mission organisation that partnered with Hope Together to distribute 5,000 Ukrainian Gospels via 990 churches. Comparable in door-to-door and community-wide Gospel distribution methodology and in mobilising volunteer networks.
• London City Mission: London-focused Christian mission organisation doing street evangelism, church planting, and outreach to under-churched communities. Comparable in mission (sharing the Christian faith) and methodology (street-level outreach, partnerships with local churches).
• Steiger International: Global mission organisation that partnered with Hope Together on Ukraine Gospel distribution. Comparable in international evangelism, creative outreach, and partnership-based mission model.
• Bible Society: UK-based Bible publishing and distribution charity that produces and disseminates Scripture resources, including translation work and public-facing Bible materials. Directly comparable as a co-publisher (ALIVE partnership) and overlapping mission of placing Scripture in the hands of UK audiences.
• Youth for Christ UK: National charity focused on youth evangelism, schools work, and discipleship — overlapping directly with Hope Together's Amplify programme and youth-facing courses (Wellbeing Journey, CROPS partnership).
• Biblica: International Bible publishing ministry that co-produces the illustrated Gospel series (Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Ukrainian) with Hope Together. A direct content partner and the most natural peer given shared production, distribution, and translation activities.
• Scripture Union: Long-established UK Christian charity focused on Bible engagement, schools work, and youth mission. Directly comparable as a publisher of Bible-based resources and provider of youth and schools evangelism programmes (parallel to Amplify and God's Big Story).
• 24-7 Prayer: UK-based prayer and mission movement that co-developed Hope Spaces with Hope Together. Operates in the same evangelism and church-mobilisation space, with comparable scale and ecumenical reach.

Broad incumbents

• Church Missionary Society (CMS): Large, historic Anglican mission agency with cross-cultural evangelism, training, and resource programmes. A broader incumbent operating at significantly greater scale but in the same cross-denominational mission-and-resourcing category.
• Alpha (HTB Network): The largest UK-based evangelism course provider, run out of Holy Trinity Brompton. Alpha is a much larger incumbent running the dominant introductory Christianity course, and is referenced as a downstream destination for many Hope Together outreach campaigns — making it both a peer and a complementary channel.
