Hands of Love UK Accounts

We have changed our financial year end from 7th April to 31st December in order to coincide with Hands of Love USA and Hands of Love Uganda.

The accounts to 7th April 2010 and previous years are available to view on the Charity Commission website but they are unable to process two periods ending in the same year and nor can they accept a period longer than eighteen months.

The Charity Commission therefore does not require to see the accounts for the period 8th April 2010 to 31st December 2010 and cannot accept them. We, the trustees of Hands of Love UK, consider financial transparency to be of key importance and you can view these accounts below:

We will publish future accounts on our website.

A Gift for Christmas

Why not buy a Christmas Gift card for family and/or friends this Christmas?

At the Hands of Love Orphanage and School we have over 400 unsponsored children and we aim to give each one a small gift in addition to a Special Christmas Meal. By purchasing a Gift Card for a minimum donation of £5 (up to as much as you like) you will help us to achieve this dream.

Five different Christmas Gift designs are available in addition to our normal Gifts of Love.

Please give generously to help create a bright future for the children.

To order the cards, please print and return the order form on the Gifts of Love page.

A warning regarding fake Hands of Love email

Fraudulent email
An email asking for money that has been sent to some supporters. The email pretends to be from Hands of Love, but it is a scam and can be safely deleted and ignored. Pastor Elijah will never send an email of this sort. If in doubt, please email Hands of Love and we will confirm or deny the validity of any email you receive regarding Hands of Love.

This is a copy of the fraudulent email. Please do not respond to it if you receive it:
