DailyHOPE
The DailyHOPE telephone line was launched on Sunday 26th April 2020 as a response to support older people who would not be able to access online worship during lockdown.
DailyHOPE has brought prayers, hymns and reflections, 24 hours a day, to thousands of people for almost four years.
Following our announcement earlier this year that we closed the DailyHOPE phone line, we've had a wonderfully generous offer of financial support to keep the line going a while longer - this is an INCREDIBLE answer to prayer!
Please pray for our DailyHOPE team while we develop the very best next steps to continue to make the line available far and wide with great spiritual content for older people, especially those who are home based and not online.
If you have previously called DailyHOPE or you’re supporting someone who did, please let them know that the service is up and running again on 0800 804 8044. If you'd like to share flyers or display images of the number in your community, we have some printable images for you to download on this page here.
We also offer a few resources below to encourage and support those who are unable to get to church at this time.
