Compassion
Compassion is a Christian child development charity that sees beyond the devastating reality of poverty to the God-given potential in every child and family. In partnership with 9,000 local churches across 29 countries, they move with compassion to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name.
More than 2.4 million children receive education, healthcare, and life-changing support tailored to their individual needs. Led by Jesus, Compassion empowers children to thrive and bring hope to their communities.
Care for the Family
Care for the Family is a UK charity committed to strengthening family life. The impact when things go wrong can be devastating, but we believe every family should have somewhere to turn to in the tough times and put down strong roots in the good times to see through the storms when they come.
We help parents, couples and those who are bereaved through our events, courses, podcasts, volunteer befrienders, books and accessible, evidence-based resources. We also train and equip those who support families, whether professionally or informally, so that more people can access help, hope and encouragement when it matters most.
Scottish Bible Society
Since 1809, Scottish Bible Society has sought, under God, to put the Bible into people’s hands and hearts. Our goal is to make the Bible available in every language, form, and at an affordable price, to enable genuine encounters with God.
In partnership with individuals, churches, and organisations across the globe, we distribute Bibles, New Testaments, and other Scripture-based materials in a range of media. Our volunteer network includes Action Groups, local Church Representatives, and speakers, all helping to spread the Word of God and finance the distribution of the Scriptures at home and overseas.
Our vision is to see individuals, communities, and cultures transformed as people encounter the God of the Bible. Our mission is to equip people in Scotland and around the world to share this Bible so that these encounters can take place.
