International Aid

Alongside our local work, we extend support globally, partnering with local organisations in developing regions to provide education, healthcare and community support for young people in need.

What we do

Our International Aid programme delivers impactful support to underserved young people around the world, addressing urgent needs in education, healthcare and essential resources. By collaborating with local organisations, we create sustainable projects that uplift and empower communities facing hardship.

Recently we supported a local church in Albania with financial assistance to expand its youth outreach and community services. In West Africa, we helped build a school in Togo to improve access to education in rural areas, and we’re filling a trailer with clothes, educational materials and essential items to support these communities further.

Who we support

We primarily support vulnerable children and young people in developing regions, particularly where access to education, healthcare and basic resources is limited, including communities affected by poverty, conflict or limited infrastructure.

Each project aims to foster resilience and self-sufficiency, creating a foundation for long-term growth.

When to get involved

Our aid projects are ongoing, with specific initiatives timed around community needs and project schedules. You can get involved at any time through donations, sponsoring a project, or volunteering.

Our current effort to fill a trailer with donated clothes and valuable items for Togo relies on contributions from our local community, with regular shipments planned throughout the year.

Why it matters

Every young person deserves access to education, healthcare and opportunities for a brighter future, wherever they live.

Projects like building a school in Togo and supporting the Albanian church’s outreach show the difference we can make together, helping break cycles of poverty so young people can reach their full potential.

Where it happens

Our international work is coordinated from our base at George Road Community Church in Oldbury, with project sites across Europe and Africa, including Albania, Romania and Togo. Our team visits these sites to connect with local leaders, review progress and identify emerging needs, so resources are used effectively and transparently.

We also run community events in Oldbury to raise awareness and gather resources for our international projects.
