ACAT’s goal is to mobilise and bring together Christians of all denominations to stamp out the evil of torture. We pray, write appeals and urge governments and authorities to end the torture and abuse of human beings. By exposing torture we can end it. We can improve conditions of detention and help achieve the release of prisoners who are often innocent of any known criminal offence. It is vital work. We also believe it is God’s Will.  

Acts 435 is a giving website that allows people to give money directly to others, and 100% of what is donated via Acts 435 goes directly to those in need.

When so many people need so much help giving to charities and good causes can sometimes feel overwhelming and hard. Acts 435 puts people who want to help in touch with people who are in need, through a network of churches and local charities. Acts 435 enables virtual, online giving for specific needs.

Antioch is an ecumenical, charismatic, covenant, Christian community based in West London, but with links around the country, including similar communities in Glasgow, Belfast and across the world.

We want there to be universal routine referral so that everyone can find timely, appropriate and effective support in the interests of their mental and physical health as well as practical, financial, social and spiritual wellbeing.

In some parts of the world, the Scriptures are difficult to access or are simply unavailable. In this country, the Bible is readily available but has lost its significance and its value is unrecognised by millions.

We’re working hard here at home and in key areas across the world to change this. We take the Bible and find ways to translate and distribute it, create digital formats, advocate for its place in society and help people relate to and make sense of it in their everyday lives.

All our efforts are driven by one conviction: we believe that when people engage with the Bible, lives can change – for good.

Breaker’s Anointing Ministries (BAM) has launched a program called ‘Working Together To End Homelessness’ that helps provide housing for the homeless and assists them to find work.

Additionally, the program works with Institutions that provide support services for those struggling with mental health issues. The program also connects its clients with housing benefit advisors and other social programs offered by social services. BAM expects to be able to expand the service to providing free items such as bedding, clothing, blankets and footwear, hot meals, to the homeless still sleeping on the streets.

The BAM homeless program works in close partnership with the Green Pastures organization and therefore as part of their extensive network the ministries presence is known in Bradford, Newport, Manchester, Barking, Bolton, Sheffield, Dartford, Cardiff, London and Dundee.

BRF Ministries is the home of Anna Chaplaincy, Living Faith, Messy Church and Parenting for Faith. As a Christian charity, we inspire, equip and support people of all ages to grow in faith.

The Deutsche Evangelische Kirchentag (DEK) has its origins in 1949 at the end of an Evangelical Week in Hannover (remember that evangelisch in German means Protestant). It was begun by Reinhold von Thadden-Trieglaf as a lay movement and an “organisation in perpetuity”, following the isolation of the church from the state during the Nazi era. The purpose was to “draw together Protestant Christians in Germany in order to strengthen them in their faith, to prepare them for responsibility in their churches; to encourage them in witnessing in the world; and to have solidarity with those in the world-wide community of Christendom.”

We are grassroots Christians from all sorts of traditions who have grasped the value of working together for the Kingdom of God.
We return from meetings, regional or international, buzzing with ideas and a thrist to develop church life, where we are in our own place of worship or on our local ecumenical scene.

Join us and our encounters with Christians and others across Europe and beyond permeate our spiritual outlook and responses.

The British Trust for Tantur was set up in July 1970 to support the work of the Tantur Institute for Ecumenical Studies in Jerusalem known as Tantur. The vision for Tantur was Pope Paul VI’s in the wake of the Second Vatican Council. The Vatican acquired the strategic site (between Jerusalem and Bethlehem situated now very close to the Separation Barrier) and the Pope requested the Catholic Universities of the USA to fund the building of a Centre. Tantur celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2013. Over the years it has received significant administrative and financial support from the Catholic University of Notre Dame in the United States. The British Trust has two of its Trustees serving on the Tantur International Ecumenical Advisory Board.

The pressures on members of the Police Service today are greater than ever.

Christians in Media is a UK network and community that supports, encourages and inspires Christians who work in, and with, media. As a profession, the Media holds the highest influence in our country. As Christians in this arena, we are charged with holding integrity – presenting the truth without bias or agenda, while holding firm to our Biblical beliefs and convictions. In a fast-moving culture, where the truth often appears capricious, remaining rooted in faith can be a deeply challenging place to be. Christians in Media meet the challenge created by this clash of culture. Our growing network brings Storytellers together as a community of Christian professionals in both secular and religious media.

Church Action on Poverty is a national ecumenical Christian social justice charity, committed to tackling poverty in the UK. We work in partnership with churches, and with people in poverty themselves, to tackle the root causes of poverty.

We speak truth to power, campaigning nationally and locally for policies that will loosen the grip of poverty on people’s lives.

We are a community of people who have been set free to follow God’s call in mission. Thousands of people from all walks of life are part of Church Mission Society – praying, learning and acting together in pursuit of that call.

We all have a part to play.

The Ecumenical Marian Pilgrimage Trust brings together Christians from each of Britain’s Christian traditions in honour and witness of Christ the Word incarnate, born of the Virgin Mary. Each year, a pilgrimage is arranged to explore the riches of the faith that unites us from the perspective of our Anglican, Catholic, Evangelical, Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Reformed traditions, experiencing each other’s worship and reflecting on presentations, talks and devotions from our rich spiritual patrimonies, as we pray and hope for unity. Every other year we go to Walsingham for a few days. In alternate years we spend a day at some other place where Mary’s prayerful presence has also been significant for Christians and ‘prayer has been valid’ in the past and to the present day.

Embracing Age is a Christian charity working towards a world where older people are valued, connected and full of hope, by combatting loneliness, mobilising volunteers, equipping churches and speaking out.

Eternal Wall of Answered Prayer is a huge Christian landmark. It will sit in the heart of the UK by the end of 2023. The gigantic monument of hope will host a million accounts of answered prayer, making it the largest database of hope stories in the world.

Each brick will recount a personal, specific way in which God has answered a prayer for people both now and in the past, offering a vast amount of experiences all explaining how God has come through for individuals in the midst of life’s storms. 

We want to see Jesus’ miraculous and loving nature celebrated through these answered prayers and believe that the one million testimonies will ignite faith, and belief in the power of prayer, on a national level.

Through its spirituality, which is based on the teachings of Scripture, its purpose is to work for dialogue and unity on all levels, following the inspiration of Jesus’ prayer to the Father “May they all be one”. (John 17: 12) It brings together people of all ages, backgrounds and vocations, who seek to live out the spirituality in their own families, work-places, schools, universities and so on. A small number live in community, and these Focolare houses are the centre for many activities and groups. In Britain there are Focolare community houses in Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, London and Welwyn Garden City (Herts) which is also home to the Focolare Centre for Unity (retreat/conference centre).

Friends of the Holy Land, is a non-political Christian Charity supporting the Christian population of the West Bank, Gaza, Israel and Jordan, supporting them to develop a resilient and enduring Christian community.

Seventy years ago Christians made up 29% of the population of the Holy Land. Today they account for less than 2%. Without support, the Holy places of the Bible, the birthplace of Christianity, could become cultural museums with no Christian presence at all.

Living as a Christian in today’s Holy Land is challenging. Travel restrictions, water shortages, limited access to medical or social care, and poverty means many Christians emigrate if they can. In addition, there is often a psychological effect; living in the shadow of an 18 foot high separation wall cut off from their land and olive groves.
Our Objectives are: Awareness raising, Prayer, Fund Raising and Pilgrimage
Our support to the Holy Land Christians falls into four main areas: Education, Employment, Health and Housing

In 2016, the decision was made to create a new charity to develop the national initiative into the future and Linking Lives UK was registered with the Charity Commission in November 2016.

We aim to see every street in the UK covered in Christian prayer. We hope to encourage as many Christians as possible to be not only pray, but get to know their neighbours. We live in times where with the click of a mouse, we can communicate half way around the World, and yet most of us do not know our neighbours living on our own street.

Most of our streets have people who suffer from loneliness, or social exclusion; there are estimated to be 1.7 million housebound people in the UK who rarely see a relative or friend. Loneliness is epidemic across generations, whether it is single parents, people who have suffered a relationship breakdown, or even children. We believe prayer combined with Christians following the teachings of Jesus and loving their immediate neighbours, could transform our nation and help end this epidemic of loneliness.
