Bethany Christian Trust (Scotland)

Bethany Christian Trust is a national charity whose mission is to relieve the suffering and meet the long-term needs of homeless and vulnerable people in Scotland. They put Christian love into action working towards the aim of Ending Homelessness in Scotland. Their integrated approach consists of 3 core streams of life-changing services: Homelessness Prevention, Crisis Intervention and Housing & Support. Bethany’s Community Support and Development work encompasses smaller projects in Scotland, meeting local needs to prevent homelessness.  

Funds raised will help to support some of this work, which includes Self Reliant Groups in the East of Scotland, Bridge to Freedom addiction recovery in Torry and Inverness, The Aberdeen Toastie Club and various projects in the West of Scotland including cooking groups and Bible studies.

Sparkle Sisters creates a committed, loving community and a safe place where vulnerable women can experience friendship, care and community and be given an opportunity to explore the effects of their experiences on their wellbeing. It is their desire to bring hope through the love of Christ and ultimately healing to the many visible and invisible women in their local community whose lives have been adversely affected by trauma. 

They believe in the unique value and worth of all their women and seek to reflect the love of Jesus in practical ways while encouraging emotional and spiritual growth. 

Funds raised for Sparkle Sisters will support the Cornerstone Coffee Project and will also help to cover the cost of taking the women away on trips.

MISIUR (Peru)

‘Misión Integral Urbano Rural’ (Holistic Mission in the City and Countryside)

This grassroots Peruvian organisation was formed by former Colegio San Andrés pupil and graduate of the Free Church College, Rev. Pedro Arana. The organisation runs community development projects in the city and countryside of Peru. 

MISIUR works with over 130 children and teenagers in two needy communities, offering after-school activities which include the provision of a nutritious meal, academic support, Bible teaching, counselling and health checks. The children’s families are invited to help cook the meals at the centres and attend meetings on parenting skills and combatting gender violence. Training courses in baking and hairdressing are offered to help develop skills and obtain work. The work is carried out with close links to local Presbyterian churches so that the children, young people and their parents are invited to join in church activities and feel part of the Christian community.

Funds raised will go towards the provision of water tanks and solar panels to provide families with access to clean water plus enable children to study in the evenings and recharge mobile phones to take part in virtual classes.
