It operates through Hope Not Hate Limited, a private company limited by guarantee incorporated on 22 August 2012 (Companies House number 08188502), and through a registered charity, number 1013880, which was named the Searchlight Educational Trust from 1992 to 2012, Hope Not Hate Educational Limited from 2012 to 2016, Hope Not Hate Charitable Trust from 2016 to 2025 and HOPE Unlimited Charitable Trust from 24 October 2025.[^1][^2] The charity is the former Searchlight Educational Trust of the [Searchlight Magazine](/organizations/searchlight-magazine/) organisation run by Gerry Gable. In 2011 [Nick Lowles](/people/nick-lowles/) and a group of trustees and directors separated from Gable's magazine, and in October 2012 the company Searchlight Information Services Limited was renamed Hope Not Hate (1986) Limited.[^3][^4] ### Searchlight Units Before 2004 Three bodies shared the Searchlight name before the separation. Searchlight Information Services Limited (company 02055070) was incorporated on 12 September 1986 with Gerry Gable as a director appointed before 31 December 1990 and Sonia Gable as secretary from 1 November 1992.[^4][^5] The Searchlight Educational Trust (company 02738367) was incorporated on 7 August 1992 and registered as a charity in August 1992.[^2][^6] Searchlight Magazine Limited (company 02516837) was incorporated on 29 June 1990, with Gerry Gable as a director until 1 June 2025 and Sonia Gable as secretary.[^7] In May 2002 the Charity Commission received a complaint that the Educational Trust was carrying out political activities incompatible with its charitable status, and opened a statutory inquiry under section 8 of the Charities Act 1993 on 28 June 2002. The Commission's report records that the Trust's annual income was approximately 140,000 pounds, that its publication When Hate Comes to Town encouraged members of the public to carry out direct action "by, for example, disrupting political meetings", and that the Trust, the magazine company and Searchlight Information Services shared a telephone number and a postal address. The Commission advised the trustees not to use the general label "Searchlight" when referring to the charity. The inquiry closed on 9 September 2002.[^6] ### The 2004 Campaign Later HOPE not hate publications and its founder's award nomination give 2004 as the year of founding, in response to the rise of the British National Party.[^8][^9] The Electoral Commission register of donations lists a regulated third party named HOPE not hate Ltd from April 2004, with a donation of 9,750 pounds from the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust accepted on 5 April 2004 for the European Parliament election of 10 June 2004.[^10] Nick Lowles was appointed a director of Searchlight Information Services Limited on 25 June 2005.[^5] In the July to August 2012 issue of its magazine, HOPE not hate described itself as having been founded in 2004, with over 165,000 online supporters, and stated that it "comprises Searchlight Information Services and our charitable wing, the Searchlight Educational Trust".[^11] ### The 2011 Separation Larry O'Hara's Notes From The Borderland published a timeline of the dispute that states that in March 2011 Lowles and Cormac Hollingsworth asked the Gables for the Searchlight magazine shares and for Gerry Gable to resign from Searchlight Information Services and the Educational Trust by the end of June 2011, and that Gable was offered an honorary presidency. The timeline further states that on 23 September 2011 Lowles resigned as editor of the magazine, that on 24 and 25 September the Gables removed about twenty filing cabinets of archive material from the Trust's offices, which the timeline describes as "liberate" in the Gables' term and "steal" in the term used by HOPE not hate, and that on 27 September the Trust's trustees met and removed both Gables and contacted the police. The timeline's author opposes both sides.[^12] Companies House records agree with several dates in that timeline. A company named Hope Not Hate Ltd (number 07719229) was incorporated on 27 July 2011 with Gerry Gable and Sonia Gable as its directors, and they resigned from it on 25 September 2012, when Lowles was appointed director and Ruth Smeeth secretary.[^13][^14] On 4 December 2011 Gerry Gable resigned as director of Searchlight Information Services Limited and Sonia Gable as its secretary; Simon Tuttle was appointed director and Ruth Smeeth secretary on the same date, with the new officers' correspondence address at the solicitors Gallant Macmillan, 3 Greek Street, London.[^5] Hope Not Hate Limited (08188502) was incorporated on 22 August 2012 as HOPE NOT HATE (LBG) LIMITED. On 25 October 2012 Searchlight Information Services Limited was renamed Hope Not Hate (1986) Limited and the Searchlight Educational Trust became Hope Not Hate Educational Limited.[^1][^2][^4] Martin Bright wrote in the Jewish Chronicle on 9 August 2012 that Gable "has retained control of Searchlight magazine and its website" and that Lowles, described as Gable's heir apparent, "has effectively spun off Hope Not Hate as a separate organisation"; Bright declined to take a side and called the dispute "genuinely Oedipal".[^3] Ed Caesar reported in The New Yorker in 2019 that Matthew Collins began collaborating with Lowles on HOPE not hate in 2007, that the campaign "split from the magazine in 2011", that Collins believed Gable had been cavalier about his safety while he was a Searchlight informant, and that Gable denied this.[^15] The HOPE not hate magazine continued to describe the organisation as comprising Searchlight Information Services and the Searchlight Educational Trust in its September to October and November to December 2012 issues, after the Companies House renaming of 25 October 2012; the May to July 2017 issue describes it as comprising HOPE not hate Ltd and HOPE not hate Charitable Trust.[^16][^17][^18] Searchlight's obituary of Gable, who died in January 2026, states that the split was "eventually healed when Gerry publicly offered the hand of friendship" to Lowles at an anti-fascist anniversary event in 2023.[^19] Companies House records Gable's resignation as secretary of Taxinform Limited on 3 January 2026.[^20] ### Companies and Directors After 2012 Hope Not Hate Limited files accounts consisting of a balance sheet only. At 31 December 2024 it reported current assets of 720,485 pounds, including 702,053 pounds in cash, creditors due within one year of 544,621 pounds and members' funds of 175,864 pounds, against 136,556 pounds a year earlier.[^21] Its directors have included Lowles (22 August 2012 to 18 February 2020, and again from 1 September 2026), Simon Tuttle (25 September 2012 to 2 September 2026), Hollingsworth (9 December 2014 to 30 July 2019), Anthony Painter and Peter Jacobs (both from 9 December 2014), Matthew McGregor (19 January 2020 to 29 April 2022), Anna Turley (8 April 2022 to 11 July 2024), Jon Cruddas and Simon Gallant (both from 24 March 2025). Lowles was the company's secretary from 31 August 2023 to 1 September 2026.[^22][^23] The Parliament members register records Anna Turley as the Labour Party (Co-operative) member for Redcar, with her latest House of Commons membership beginning on 4 July 2024.[^24] The charity's directors have included Peter Adams (from 1 February 2011), Gurinder Singh Josan (from 9 December 2014), Imam Qari Muhammad Asim and Ros Wynne-Jones (both from 5 February 2018), and, in its 2023 accounts, Simon Tuttle. Lowles was its secretary from 31 August 2023 to 30 June 2025, and Kelly-Anne Duffill from 1 July 2025.[^25][^26] ### The Charity as Grant-Maker The charity's annual report for 2022 records that after a strategic review in 2021 its trustees changed its focus to fundraising and grant-giving with effect from 31 December 2021.[^27] Its grants to Hope Not Hate Limited were 625,000 pounds in 2022, 650,000 pounds in 2023 and 787,858 pounds in 2024; at the end of 2024 the company owed the charity 48,102 pounds.[^26][^27][^28] Employment costs in the charity fell from 608,595 pounds in 2021 to 132,259 pounds in 2022.[^27][^29] The Charity Commission register gives gross income of 1.16 million pounds in 2020, 1.08 million in 2021, 792,940 pounds in 2022, 418,240 pounds in 2023 and 984,870 pounds in 2024, with government grants of 55,980 pounds in 2020 and none in later years.[^30] Restricted funds itemised in the charity's accounts include the following. For 2020, grants described as Home Office Counter Extremism Unit funds received through the Bedfordshire and Luton Community Foundation and the London Community Foundation, grants from the Trust for London (49,679 pounds), the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and the Barrow Cadbury Trust, and an unrestricted grant of 46,000 pounds from the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust in each of 2019 and 2020.[^31] For 2021, Home Office Counter Extremism Unit funds received through the London Community Foundation, 125,750 pounds from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, and restricted funds from Google, the Sam and Bella Sebba Charitable Trust, an anonymous family trust, Community Union and the Network for Social Change.[^29] For 2023, 45,000 pounds from the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, 18,000 pounds from the Aziz Charitable Foundation, 10,000 pounds from Stonewall and 20,000 pounds from Toms Trust.[^26] For 2024, 208,000 pounds from NPT Transatlantic Ltd, 50,667 pounds from the AB Charitable Trust, 40,000 pounds from the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, 63,000 pounds from the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and 60,000 pounds from This Day.[^28] NPT Transatlantic describes itself as offering donor-advised funds.[^32] The Sigrid Rausing Trust lists HOPE Not Hate as a grantee supported since 2013, with previous grants totalling 1,615,000 pounds and a current grant of 250,000 pounds starting in February 2026.[^33] The charity's accounts for 2020 to 2024 do not itemise a Sigrid Rausing Trust grant, and Hope Not Hate Limited does not publish an income statement.[^21][^26][^27][^28][^29][^31] ### Electoral Commission Donations The Electoral Commission register of donations lists HOPE not hate Ltd as a permitted third party receiving the following donations accepted between 2004 and 2019, in pounds: the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust 9,750 (5 April 2004), 11,025 (5 April 2005) and 42,500 (14 December 2009); the Trades Union Congress South and East Region 9,000 (5 April 2005); UNISON 19,500 (5 April 2005), 80,000 (14 May 2009) and 70,000 (12 March 2010); Amicus 10,000 (30 May 2005); the Fire Brigades Union 8,500 (21 May 2009); Unite the Union 13,250 (21 May 2009), 65,000 (14 December 2009) and 10,000 (1 March 2010); the GMB 8,000 (28 August 2009); the National Union of Teachers 60,000 (17 February 2010); and individuals recorded as Henry Tinsley 10,250 (31 December 2009) and Mailk Karim 27,500 (31 March 2010).[^10] For the general election of 12 December 2019 the register lists 200,000 pounds from an individual recorded as David Sainsbury (4 November 2019), 15,000 and 60,000 pounds from Open Britain Ltd (28 November and 5 December 2019) and 100,000 pounds from Mr Greg Nasmyth (12 December 2019), together with 17,000 pounds of donations not reported individually. The register also lists a donation of 5,000 pounds in cash from an unincorporated association named HOPE not hate (Yorkshire Region) to the Labour Party's accounting unit Morley and Outwood CLP, accepted on 19 January 2010.[^10] ### Regulatory Scrutiny, 2024 to 2026 The Charity Commission stated on 22 January 2026 that it had closed a compliance case on HOPE Unlimited Charitable Trust, formerly Hope Not Hate Charitable Trust. It stated that the action arose from repeated complaints across several years that it was not clear whether the activities of Hope Not Hate Limited, a separate non-charitable organisation, were connected to or endorsed by the charity; that it gave the trustees regulatory advice and guidance in 2024; that it opened its latest case in July 2025 and was critical that limited action had been taken by then; and that the charity had changed its name, recruited three new independent trustees, appointed a new secretary and assured the regulator of its intention to appoint a paid administrator and a paid grants manager with no existing role at Hope Not Hate Limited. The Commission set an expectation that the charity could evidence its grant-making decisions, noting that its new grant criteria were limited in detail.[^34] The Conservative member of Parliament Jack Rankin wrote to the Commission's chief executive David Holdsworth in September 2025, describing Hope Not Hate Limited as "a purely political operation" and stating that he believed the charity's status was being used for funnelling taxpayer funds into the company; the Commission said it was assessing the concerns as part of the existing compliance case.[^35] In 2026 Nigel Farage wrote to the Commission alleging that the charity had breached charity law by distributing leaflets supporting the Labour candidate Andy Burnham in the Makerfield by-election, and that Hope Not Hate Limited "continues to be funded almost entirely by grants from the HUCT". The charity said the claims had "absolutely no basis in fact". The Commission stated that it was provided with evidence that the charity's funds were not used in producing or circulating the materials and that the company had appealed to the public for funds, and it took no further regulatory action. A spokesperson for Hope not Hate said that Hope not Hate Limited "is a non-party campaigner registered with the Electoral Commission".[^36] ### Informants and the National Action Investigation Matthew Collins, HOPE not hate's head of intelligence, had been active in the British National Party and the National Front and took part in a 1989 British National Party attack on an anti-fascist meeting at Welling Library in south London. The New Yorker reported that he afterwards telephoned Searchlight anonymously and became a Searchlight informant, that he then associated with [Combat 18](/organizations/combat-18/) and the Ulster Defence Association with the organisation's blessing, that in 1991 a senior Combat 18 figure ordered his murder, and that Scotland Yard's Special Branch expedited a passport and visa for him to leave for Australia, where he stayed for ten years. A [BBC](/organizations/bbc/) film about his return to Britain, Dead Man Walking, aired in 2004, and since 2010 Collins has coordinated an intelligence network for HOPE not hate. Collins told the magazine that he ran about a dozen regular informants, and Lowles told it that he also ran several, one of whom had gone undercover nearly twenty-five years earlier. The magazine added that the British government treats infiltration of extremist networks as the domain of the Security Service ([MI5](/organizations/mi5/)) and the Metropolitan Police Counter-Terror Command, that Collins considers HOPE not hate's work a provocation to those bodies, and that a [Metropolitan Police](/organizations/metropolitan-police/) spokesperson declined to comment on its intelligence-gathering. Gable told the magazine that Collins "bottled it" in a libel case in which he declined to identify himself as Searchlight's mole: "He was no hero."[^15] Robbie Mullen, a member of [National Action](/organizations/national-action/) and deputy to its leader Christopher Lythgoe from April 2016, e-mailed HOPE not hate in April 2017. On 1 July 2017 at the Friar Penketh pub in Warrington, Jack Renshaw told the group that he planned to murder the Labour member of Parliament Rosie Cooper and a police detective, Victoria Henderson. Mullen texted Collins, who was on holiday in Portugal, "Ring me ASAP". In an extract from his 2019 book published by HuffPost UK, Collins wrote that police had no knowledge of the plan before Mullen contacted HOPE not hate.[^15][^37] Before the arrests the government offered Mullen witness protection and two years of his current salary, which he declined. Eleven suspected members were arrested on 27 September 2017, police issued Mullen the first of five Osman warnings that evening, and HOPE not hate helped him relocate. Collins paid many of Mullen's expenses in advance himself, and Lowles later found him work as a researcher for the organisation.[^15] At the [Old Bailey](/organizations/old-bailey/) the barrister Crispin Aylett, who represented Lythgoe, put to Mullen that he had "exaggerated aspects of your evidence, told lies, all to get Christopher Lythgoe and others convicted and to bolster your credibility with your paymaster, HOPE Not Hate." On 18 July 2018 the jury convicted Lythgoe of membership of National Action and acquitted him of encouraging Renshaw; Renshaw pleaded guilty to preparing an act of terrorism, and was sentenced on 17 May 2019 to life imprisonment with a minimum term of twenty years.[^15][^38] The jury at the first trial could not reach a decision on Renshaw's membership of the group, and at the retrial a jury was unable to reach a majority verdict on any of the charges.[^15] The HOPE not hate magazine for September to October 2018 stated that its previous issue made no mention of the trial because "our evidence will also be used in another trial", and referred to "two leading members of National Action jailed based on information from a source inside the organisation".[^39] Collins published an account of the case with Mullen in 2019 under the title Nazi Terrorist: The Story of National Action.[^37][^40] The September to October 2017 issue of the magazine carried an interview with Patrik Hermansson, a Swedish volunteer who had spent a year inside the alt-right under the name Erik.[^9] ### Litigation In December 2016 Nigel Farage wrote after the Berlin Christmas market lorry attack that "Events like these will be the Merkel legacy"; after a reply from Brendan Cox the exchange moved to the radio station LBC, where Farage said that HOPE not hate pursued "violent and undemocratic means". HOPE not hate began a crowdfunded libel action. On 14 November 2017 it announced that Farage had filed a statement in the High Court which, in the group's account of the text, said he was "happy to acknowledge that Hope Not Hate does not tolerate or pursue violent or undemocratic behaviour" and would not repeat the claim. Farage said he was "perfectly happy to accept that the organisation doesn't pursue violent or undemocratic means", that the case had been "a complete waste of their donors' money", and that he had paid no damages and no apology; the group said Farage was left with costs of around 100,000 pounds.[^41] ### Personnel and the Labour Party Ruth Smeeth was secretary of Searchlight Information Services Limited from 4 December 2011 and of Hope Not Hate (Services) Limited from 25 September 2012.[^5][^14] Hollingsworth, a director of Hope Not Hate Limited from 2014 to 2019, was described by the Borderland timeline as becoming chair of the Educational Trust's trustees in February 2011.[^12][^22] Anna Turley became a director of Hope Not Hate Limited on 8 April 2022 and resigned on 11 July 2024, seven days after the start of her latest membership of the House of Commons.[^22][^24] Lowles was appointed MBE in the New Year Honours of 2017 as "Founder, Hope Not Hate", for services to community cohesion and combating extremism.[^42] [^1]: Companies House, "HOPE NOT HATE LIMITED, company number 08188502", overview (incorporated 22 August 2012; previous name HOPE NOT HATE (LBG) LIMITED, 22 August to 18 October 2012), accessed 1 October 2026. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/08188502 [^2]: Companies House, "HOPE UNLIMITED CHARITABLE TRUST, company number 02738367", overview (incorporated 7 August 1992; previous names SEARCHLIGHT EDUCATIONAL TRUST to 25 October 2012, HOPE NOT HATE EDUCATIONAL LIMITED to 12 May 2016, HOPE NOT HATE CHARITABLE TRUST to 24 October 2025), accessed 1 October 2026. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02738367 [^3]: Martin Bright, "Tragedy of a serious split between anti-fascists", The Jewish Chronicle, 9 August 2012. https://www.thejc.com/opinion/analysis/tragedy-of-a-serious-split-between-anti-fascists-p843rzof [^4]: Companies House, "HOPE NOT HATE (1986) LIMITED, company number 02055070", overview (incorporated 12 September 1986; previous name SEARCHLIGHT INFORMATION SERVICES LIMITED to 25 October 2012; dissolved 14 July 2015), accessed 1 October 2026. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02055070 [^5]: Companies House, officers of HOPE NOT HATE (1986) LIMITED (02055070): Gerry Gable (director, resigned 4 December 2011), Sonia Kathleen Emma Gable (secretary from 1 November 1992, resigned 4 December 2011), Nick Lowles (director, appointed 25 June 2005), Simon Anthony Tuttle (director, appointed 4 December 2011), Ruth Smeeth (secretary, appointed 4 December 2011), accessed 1 October 2026. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02055070/officers [^6]: Charity Commission for England and Wales, "Charity Commission Report on the Searchlight Educational Trust" (inquiry under section 8 of the Charities Act 1993, opened 28 June 2002, closed 9 September 2002), reproduced at https://www.infotextmanuscripts.org/searchlightarchive/s_a_charity_commission_report.html (page last updated 20 August 2003).
