About Us

Faith, education and community — through play

Testify Foundation exists to put the Testify! board game into the hands of churches, schools, youth groups, hospitals and families, using it to advance faith, education, citizenship and relief of need.

Our Story

Why Testify Foundation exists

Testify! was created as a Bible-based educational board game — a way to make biblical literacy active, social and genuinely fun to learn. Testify Foundation was established to take that game beyond a single family's living room and put it to work across whole communities: churches, schools, youth groups, hospitals and families, starting in the UK and growing into a truly global footprint.

The Foundation is structured as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) under the Charities Act 2011, governed by a Board of Trustees who hold overall responsibility for every activity we run.

Our Charitable Objects

What we're here to achieve

Advancement of the Christian Faith

Using Testify! to build biblical literacy and a living, practical understanding of Christian faith.

Advancement of Education

Game-based learning that develops teamwork, communication and critical thinking alongside biblical knowledge.

Advancement of Citizenship & Community Development

Bringing families, churches, schools and youth groups together through shared activities and events.

Relief of Those in Need

Governance

Overseen by our Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees maintains overall responsibility for all of Testify Foundation's activities. Day-to-day delivery may be carried out by volunteers, staff or partner organisations, but strategic oversight — legal compliance, financial controls, risk management and impact monitoring — stays with the trustees at all times.

Dual-authorisation banking and independent examination of accounts
Regular review of risks, with steps taken to mitigate them
Monitoring of participation levels, beneficiary outcomes and mission alignment
All activities kept aligned with our charitable Objects, as set out in our Constitution

Safeguarding

Keeping every participant safe

Our work brings volunteers into contact with children, teenagers, youth and vulnerable adults — so safeguarding runs through everything we do, not as an afterthought.

Our Policy

A full Safeguarding Policy applies to every activity involving children and vulnerable adults, in line with Working Together to Safeguard Children (2023) and the Charity Commission's CC30 guidance.

Vetted Volunteers

Volunteers in roles with regular or unsupervised contact with children complete an Enhanced DBS check and activity-specific safeguarding training before taking on a role.

Clear Reporting

Every volunteer knows our Designated Safeguarding Lead and how to raise a concern the same day it arises.

Registration status. Testify Foundation is applying for registration as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. We operate under our adopted Constitution and governance policies while this application is in progress.
