Hope UK works in partnership with locally constituted groups in some areas of the UK. These groups have their own local workers, volunteers, trustees and accounts, but use the Hope UK central office to provide head office support. This  includes training, access to policies, resources and help, fundraising support and financial oversight/management. Some groups have their own bank accounts, others use the Hope UK financial processes. Where Hope UK financial processes are used, funds are separated and shown as restricted funds in our accounts.
