Communities of Hope
We’re pleased to share the COACH Network 2025 Impact Report – Communities of Hope!
As we reflect on the year that has been, we’re encouraged by the ways local churches and community organisations have continued to walk alongside people doing life tough through the implementation of COACH Community Mentoring, Financial COACH, and Empowered Faith Communities.
Last year, 286 of our partners engaged with and supported 1,840 participants. Across all programs, we saw encouraging outcomes, including a 48% increase in life satisfaction through COACH Community Mentoring, a 76% average financial capability score through Financial COACH, and 50 first-time commitments through Empowered Faith Communities.
Behind these numbers are stories of people rediscovering belonging, growing in confidence, and taking meaningful steps forward. More than that, they are signs of God’s love at work through ordinary people and local communities choosing to show up with compassion, faith and hope for a better future.
This report reflects something we believe deeply, that when people are seen, encouraged and invited into genuine community, lives can begin to change. Across Australia, Aotearoa/New Zealand, the UK and Hong Kong, we continue to see communities of hope taking shape as churches embody the love of Christ in practical and relational ways.
We are deeply grateful to every mentor, coordinator, partner, volunteer and supporter who is part of this journey. Your commitment is what makes this work possible.
Thank you for walking for the opportunity to walk together.
