Rachel

Hello! I’m Rachel, and it’s a real privilege to lead the amazing Hope Together team. They are brilliant, dedicated, able and creative. You can meet them here:

As for myself, I’ve been passionate about introducing others to Jesus since I was small and I still think choosing to follow Jesus is the most important thing that anyone can do.

Some highlights of what I’ve done prior to Hope include being part of a YWAM team in the red light district of Amsterdam and gaining a PhD from King’s College London. I’m still fired up by evangelism and excited by good research. 

I currently live in East London with my husband Darren where we’re part of a church plant that he leads. We are passionate about church family and community and share our home with four great people from our church.

I love a coffee out, dark chocolate and visiting markets for a good browse.

I’d like to introduce you to the rest of the team:

Dan

Hi I'm Dan. I’m Youth and Young Adult lead for Hope Together and I’m passionate about seeing the younger generation live fearlessly for Jesus.

I’m married to Marina and we live in Burnley, where we’re active in leadership in a local church - in particular, working with young adults.

I love watching Burnley FC, drinking a decent coffee and listening to indie and alternative music.

Sammy

Hi, I'm Sammy! It’s great being part of the Hope Team. I lead the Hope for Every Home branch of HOPE’s work. This is about being good news where we live; on our streets, with neighbours and in our communities - think street-level evangelism.

I live with my husband Shaun and my son in Eastleigh. We are part of a church plant on a new housing estate where we live, love and serve our community. To unwind I love gardening, walking with friends and chatting with a neighbour over a cuppa.

Rochelle

Hello, I'm Rochelle. I’m the part-time head of digital marketing, and I love using my skills in communications, brand and digital to work with Hope Together to help them resource local churches. 

I live in East London, I’m married and have a great little boy. I’m part of a church in East London and I help with their messaging too. 

I love being with my son, changing the world through media and catching up with friends.
 

Roy

Hi, I'm Roy. I started Hope some time ago and am now Hope Together’s president.

I’m passionate about even more people knowing Jesus across the world and so I’m taking all we’ve learnt and spreading Hope Together out globally. I do this alongside leading Revelation Trust, where we mentor and coach gospel entrepreneurs. 

I live in Rugby with my wife Flo and we've been part of the same local church for many years. They are keen supporters of Hope Together. I love football, playing with my grandchildren and starting new projects.

Sue

Hi, I'm Sue. I’m part of the backbone of Hope Together - when you call to ask questions, it’s usually me who picks up the phone. I love talking to people and helping them (especially with the Hope shop) and getting to hear all about what you’re doing with our resources.
 
I live in Daventry and am married to Rob. We help lead worship in our local rural church. 

I love my grandchildren, going on holiday and knitting and crocheting for family and a local baby project.

Alex 

Hey, Y'all! I am Alex- I work as the ops manager for Hope. I love getting to be a part of all the different projects produced by the team. I believe that there are very few things that can't be fixed with a good colour-coordinated spreadsheet and a cupcake!

I am passionate about people knowing that God's love covers each and every person, and advocating for spaces where everyone feels welcomed, included and safe. 

Anna

Paul
 

Hi, I’m Paul Sawrey and have joined the Hope team as the HEH Scotland Project Lead. I’m an ordained Pioneer minister. I live in Scotland with my wife, Katy, who’s an artist, and our four children.
 
I am passionate about partnership and networking. During ordination, we helped plant a Church (KXC) in London King’s Cross, before a couple of years in ministry in New Zealand. Since returning to the UK in 2018, we have been ministering in Edinburgh and are currently helping to plant another church called Take Hold Church.
 
Through the work at Hope Together, I am excited to encourage and support other churches to prayerfully and lovingly communicate the love of Jesus to every street, home and heart in Scotland.
 

Our board

Hello! We’re the board of Hope Together. We’re passionate about everyone, everywhere knowing Jesus, and believe that Hope Together is a key part of seeing that happen in the UK and beyond. 

We give our time to Hope Together to make sure that the charity runs well and meets its core objectives.
