Caring for people around us, globally
The Methodist Way of Life commitments include "We will care for ourselves and people around us". And as we are part of a global Methodist community, this particular commitment allows us to think about caring for people around us, globally.
As Methodists, we believe in learning and caring as part of our discipleship and there are plenty of opportunities for us to support the Church whether that’s in prayer, the giving of our time or the giving of our money.
Through our global relationships in the Methodist Church, the World Mission Fund (WMF) is able to support over 100 partner churches and organisations in Africa, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific in their mission and ministry to respond to the gospel of God's love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission. They do this through evangelism, mission work, schools, hospitals, environmental projects, emergency situations, administration, training and much more.
The WMF is a joint fund of the Methodist Church in Britain and the Methodist Church in Ireland. It supports projects and individuals around the world and this work is only made possible by your kind donations.

The World Mission Fund supports the following programmes which are currently administered through Global Relationships:
Mission Partners
Mission Partners are ordained persons initially trained in this country and invited to serve for periods of at least one year by partner churches in the Caribbean, South and Central America, Africa, The Pacific, Asia and Europe.
Fund for Mission in Europe
Solidarity Grants
These grants are to a partner who is facing particularly difficult circumstances or an emergency situation. Although the grants may seem quite small in the global scale of things, they are a rapid response that express solidarity in partnership and can often open the door for our partners to receive other funding from around the world.
Applying for a grant from the World Mission Fund
Grants are based on partner mission priorities. Money is applied for through, and in full consultation with, the relevant Partnership Coordinator in the Global Relationships Office (GR) of the British Methodist Church.
In all cases, grant requests are scrutinised by a committee drawn from global partners before being approved.
