Reasoning & Evidence21 Jul 2026
The claim is that Hope Not Hate Limited's 2024 annual report stated it received grants totalling £787,858 from the Hope Not Hate Charitable Trust.
Key evidence:
1. Charity Commission data for the financial year ending 31 December 2024 shows that HOPE Unlimited Charitable Trust (the registered name for what was formerly called "Hope Not Hate Charitable Trust" and has since been renamed back) reported "Expenditure – Grants institution" of £787.86k for 2024. This is consistent with a figure of £787,858 (the Charity Commission rounds to the nearest £10 for display purposes in the summary table).
2. Guido Fawkes (order-order.com) reporting from May 2026 explicitly states: "In their 2024 annual report they note a grant of £787,858, against a total charitable expenditure from the charity of £893,701 for the period." This matches the Charity Commission's figures (£893.70k total charitable activities expenditure for 2024).
3. Hope Not Hate's own website confirms the relationship: "HOPE not hate receives grants from HOPE not hate Charitable Trust, which are used to undertake work falling within HOPE not hate Charitable Trust's charitable objects."
4. The Trust's 2023 accounts (available via the Charity Commission) explicitly show a grant of £650,000 was made from the Trust to Hope Not Hate Limited, establishing this as the pattern of funding between the two entities.
The figure of £787,858 is corroborated by both the Charity Commission's regulatory data and independent reporting citing the annual report directly. The naming is accurate — the entity was known as "Hope Not Hate Charitable Trust" during 2024 (it was renamed to "HOPE Unlimited Charitable Trust" and then back to "Hope Not Hate Charitable Trust" in October 2025).

I have written to the Electoral Commission demanding an investigation into potential breaches of electoral law by Hope Not Hate.
Public trust in our elections depends on the rules being followed by everyone.
