Bible Society - http://www.biblesociety.org.uk/
Bible Society exists because millions lack the Bible in a language they can understand, in a form they can use or at a price they can afford. At the same time millions still have no understanding of the Bible’s value for them and their communities. They work with the worlds of the media, politics, arts and education to show how the Bible connects with life. The society offers many services including: Translation, audio, Braille and sign language.
CMS/SAMS - http://www.cms-uk.org
Currently we support financially and prayerfully our mission partners the Reads (Eric, Sandra, Peter and Atiyyah) who are working in the Philippines. Please see the notice board and Parish magazine for regular updates on the work they are doing there. On 1 February 2010, the Church Mission Society and the South American Mission Society became a single new joint entity known as CMS – a community of mission service benefiting from the rich history of both societies’ work in Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Christian Aid - http://www.christianaid.org.uk/
Christian Aid has a vision – an end to poverty permanently. To do this they need to tackle the root causes of it. That's why they campaign and organise their work to ensure the issues that cause poverty for billions are addressed.
