Supporters

Our supporters include dioceses, churches, church groups, schools and individuals from across the UK. There is no membership or official enrolment, but supporters are encouraged to engage with the charity’s work through prayer, donations and fundraising, volunteering, climate justice and hosting events and visiting Melanesians. As a small charity we reply on the generous support of prayer, time and giving of our UK community to enable us to work in so many areas.

Prayer requests and news from the charity and region are shared on our News pages, through social media, in our bimonthly email newsletter, in our Annual Report and at our online and in person events.

The charity also supports and promotes the work of the Companion and Associates groups in the UK for the four Anglican religious orders. These groups meet regularly in person and online to pray with the religious orders and to discern how best to support them.
