Significant events

• “C3 Liverpool was the final church to sit under the C3 Trust UK umbrella until 1 April 2025 and continued to operate under the terms of the scheme of delegation and work within the wider structure of the Board of Trustees through the Interim Chief Executive. From January 2025 the role of Interim Chief Executive ceased to exist with the Lead Pastor of C3 Hope being the most senior officer of the charity.”
• “On 1 April 2025 C3 Liverpool became independent from C3 Trust UK in line with the planned changes to the overall structure of the charity. Despite extensive delays in being awarded charitable status, C3 Liverpool was successfully registered as a CIO on 19 September 2024. This marks the end of a period of transition which began in 2020 which has been successfully led by the Interim Chief Executive with the support and guidance of trustees and the local leadership and cooperation of Lead Pastors.”
• “C3 Liverpool vacated their premises at 79-81 Kempston Street in agreement with trustees, and we were successfully in obtaining a new sub-tenant for the premises, Hillsong Church in Liverpool. Hillsong church moved into the premises in early 2024 under a simple tenancy at will, whilst working towards a full assignment of the lease to Hillsong Church. The successful assignment was completed on 12 December 2024.”
• “it has been agreed with The Message Trust that Hope Community Foundation will take on the running of the grocery in a social franchise model from 1 January 2025, whilst still receiving key support from the team at The Message Trust.”
• “The Nursery which is currently operated by Hope Community Foundation is due to be sold in February 2026 to another charity for a nominal £1. They will take over the running activities of the Nursery along with the staff and will rent the premises from C3 Trust UK.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
