The Church of Melanesia is focused on mission. Through the spreading of the word of God and sharing their faith through their actions, the Anglican Church across Solomon Islands and Vanuatu continues to grow. To resource the work amongst young and old, men and women, and rural and urban, the church needs to funds to carry out its mission work.
If you would like to support the work of the Church of Melanesia please send cheques, payable to 'The Melanesian Mission' to:-
The Executive Officer,
15 Covell Close,
Bury St Edmunds,
Suffolk, IP33 2HU.
As a Registered Charity, The Melanesian Mission can reclaim tax through the Gift Aid system. If you are a UK tax payer and would like to Gift Aid your donation please let us know.
Over the past 150 years legacies left to the Mission have played an important role in resourcing the mission and its work. Please do consider the Melanesian Mission if you are making or reviewing your will. Thank you.
All the administrative costs of the Mission are covered by income from historical investments thus allowing all donations to be sent directly to the Church of Melanesia.
Every penny that is given to the Melanesian Mission in the UK goes directly to the Church of Melanesia. Each year over £40,000 is sent as a block grant to enable the Church of Melanesia to help meet its priorities for mission. This money comes from individuals, churches and schools. The money is sent in this way to enable the church to set budgets and plan its work each year.
In addition to the block grant extra money for specific special projects is sent when available. These range from buying bicycles for clergy to travel across their large parishes, funding training courses, helping to build the Christian Care Centre (a refuge for abused women and their children), through to emergency funding during times of disaster like the recent tsunami. An extra £5,000 was raised during a special tsunami appeal which has helped pay for emergency food and shelter, trauma counselling, repairs to water supplies and transport costs
