Stewarding Your Money

We’re committed to integrity and transparency when stewarding your a gifts and donations.

In Jesus, there’s always hope

Our hearts break when we see the devastating effects of extreme child poverty. This isn’t what God wants for his world.

But in Jesus, there’s always hope. And because of that, we don’t turn away.

We take our lead from the example of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10. Jesus calls us to open our eyes, feel the pain of those around us and let our hearts be moved to action.

This is what it means to move with compassion–saying ‘yes’ to Jesus’ invitation to bring practical help and the hope of Christ to those who need it most.

“Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him."  Luke 10:33 (NLT)

Here at Compassion we’re passionate about doing things with excellence, including the way we manage our finances. We work hard to ensure donations are used strategically, for the greatest benefit of children in poverty.

From our fundraising activities to our programme activities, we’re accountable for every penny we spend. Our field offices have both internal and external audits regularly and our own office here in the UK is audited externally each year. As a UK Charity and Limited Company, all our accounts are filed with Companies House and the Charity Commission.
