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 Covid lockdowns.

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!
