BEATS is a small charity, with no employees, only volunteers. It maintains a close and personal relationship between its supporters and projects, so that groups and individuals are able to choose to support people and projects to which they can relate.
Thanks to everyone who sponsored Sarah, 50% of the final total to BEATS, the other 50% to St Wilfrid's Hospice.
Some of the readings are on YouTube, search "New Testament Read Bosham" if you would like to listen to them.

BEATS primarily operates in Indonesia, collaborating with five organisations. We partner with GBI Church in Ambon (E Indonesia) to aid earthquake victims through home rebuilding, child sponsorship and a start-up business loan program. Additionally in Sumatra (NW Indonesia) we work alongside YSI, which conducts disaster preparedness and runs micro enterprise schemes as well as YACAN and YASAH who operate Children's Homes. YASERA helps communities with disaster preparedness along with health and development programmes in various locations in Indonesia.
The Talakua family (Dad, Mum, their 4 boys and 1 girl aged between 12 and 24) have been living in the 2 bedroomed shack seen here since the earthquake in September 2019. The foundations of their original home can be seen in the foreground. BEATS have supplied funds so they now have a new, extended house. They will use their old shelter as a storage place.
For information on how BEATS has already helped in Ambon see the information on our Ambon page.
