How to Help

BEATS is a small charity, with no employees. Trustees work voluntarily. There are no 'middle-men' between BEATS and our Indonesian partners. This means that 100%* of the sponsorship money is transferred directly to our partners.

BEATS 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.

Thank you for helping victims of earthquakes and tsunamis through BEATS.

*BEATS' minimal expenses have so far been covered by the BEATS' Trustees.

Have you thought about a Legacy?

By leaving a gift to BEATS, you'll be helping us be there for even more people affected by earthquakes and tsunamis in the future. A gift in your will for BEATS is a gift for people you will want to help because you know how hard it can be when families are affected by disaster. Your gift can provide lasting practical, emotional and financial support for those coping with disaster.

What could a Legacy provide?

A legacy gift could be put towards a wide range of projects, for example capital projects such as the provision of new buildings, equipment, including the rebuilding of earthquake-shattered homes. It could also be used for those students who wish to attend university.

The kind of gifts you can leave to BEATS are:

A share of your estate (Residuary Legacy): Once you've worked out what you're leaving to family and friends, you can donate a share (or all) of what's left.
A specific sum of money (Pecuniary Legacy): Leave a lump sum to BEATS, by specifying an amount in your will.
A specific item: Perhaps jewellery, or any item that you think will be of some value to BEATS' work when sold.
