Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

The money donated through JustGiving is going directly to BMS World Mission. This money will count towards the £4350 that I have to raise as a contribution towards the total cost of the programme.

To find out more about the work of BMS World Mission go here: www.bmsworldmission.org, or to find out more about BMS Action Teams go to the website (www.bmsworldmission.org/actionteams) or Facebook page (www.facebook.com/actionteams)

Once I arrive at BMS in September 2012, I will be keeping a blog on the BMS website throughout the year to keep people up to date with what I’ve been doing.

Please note that anyone who is a ‘connected person’ to me can’t Gift Aid their donations. This includes:

•             a relative (brother, sister, mother, grandfather etc.)

•             the wife, husband or civil partner of a relative

•             a company under the control of the donor, or under control of connected persons

 If you are feeling very generous(!) and would like to give a more significant sum of money (more than say £50) please consider sending it directly to BMS by cheque with a covering note explaining it’s for my (i.e. Ruby Pickard-Pasong’s) Action Team placement. Please make sure that you do this otherwise the money will just go into the BMS general fund and will not count towards the money paid so far for my Action Team placement. Sending large amounts directly (by cheque only!) is to save the commission charges from Just Giving. Cheques can be made payable to BMS World Mission and sent to PO BOX 49, 129 Broadway, Didcot, OX11 8XA.
