Purposes 4 The organisation’s purposes are: The advancement of health : ‘Hope’ is a Christian organisation that regards each individual as unique and valuable, with the potential to heal and grow. We believe that when hope is rebuilt and renewed then individuals have the capacity to overcome the greatest of challenges in life. The service will be offered to individuals age 12 years upwards who after assessment are considered appropriate for counselling or emotional support. ‘Hope’ will offer support to individuals irrespective of financial status, gender, sexual orientation, religion or ethnic background. The service will offer 1:1 support, group sessions, workshops etc. ‘Hope’ will offer counselling sessions and emotional support to individuals experiencing emotional and psychological difficulties that are impacting upon daily life. These difficulties may arise as a result of a loss or change in an individual's life or a situation that they are struggling to cope with. It may be underlying feelings of anxiety, anger or low mood that are making life harder to manage. We aim to offer compassionate and empathic support that builds hope and resilience in individuals and coping skills to improve mental health and emotional wellbeing. This service will be delivered by a team of people with a passion and a vision to serve the local community by using their gifts and professional skills. The team have a significant level of professional experience working in mental health services and counselling services. 4.1 The relief of those in need: Hope is a service that recognises the growing issue of poor mental health in our community and the alarming suicide rates. The service acknowledges that this has put significant pressure on the NHS and there is increasing demand for services to offer counselling and emotional support and therefore increasing waiting lists. Although there are private counselling services available locally this is not always affordable for people. Those who cannot afford private counselling and do not feel that they can wait are significantly disadvantaged. ‘Hope’ aims to offer affordable and accessible support whilst working alongside other services statutory and third sector to address the growing need in our community. 4.2 Advancement of Religion: Hope Rising is the Christian church fellowship under the umbrella of the ‘Hope’ charity. The church offers people opportunities to practise their beliefs and develop their unique gifts through Sunday services and prayer groups as well as missionary and community outreach work. Hope Rising Church supports the work of Hope Wellbeing and Hope Youth financially, prayerfully and in the congregation giving of their time and talents to serve the local community. The church aims to provide a significant level of pastoral care to those in the congregation and wider community.

No charity trustee information available
From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.

If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions.
Copyright

From 30 June 2025, OSCR began collecting charity trustee information through OSCR Online. Providing this information is a legal requirement for all charities. The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.
