We're Agapé UK.

Agapé UK exists to help people discover Jesus together. Our vision is that every person will have the opportunity to discover Jesus and live their lives to the full in relationship with Him.

We are a UK charity, registered with the Charity Commission, with staff based in 9 cities across the UK.  

We are led by an Executive Leadership Team, governed by a Council of Management (Trustees), and supported by a Panel of Reference. 

Executive Leadership Team

Lesley Cheesman, UK Director

Lesley has been involved with Agapé UK since the day she came to know Jesus as a teenager. Apart from a short stint in banking, she has been an Agapé UK staff member for most of her working life. Starting in youth work in the North East, her passion for seeing people grow and thrive led her into directing Leadership Development before her current role as UK Director, leading the UK ministry to help people discover Jesus together. 

Jude Daniel, Field Director

Jude has been part of Agapé UK for the past 17 years, first as a university student leader within his local campus movement, and then as a member of the student ministry. In 2020 Jude took on the role of Field Director to give strategic direction and focus to our field teams, who are helping people discover Jesus in different walks of life, at home, at work, at university and abroad.
