Transparency Notice

We have supporter data (names, address, contact details) in order to process donations, communicate the impact of the charity and share how people’s prayers, encouragement and resources are making a difference. We send regular print and email supporter publications to share feature articles, profile recommended resources, fundraising appeals and promote ministry opportunities with AWM-Pioneers and like-minded organisations.

• When you give financially, you will be automatically subscribed to our print magazine and offered our other communication channels. Unless already opted-out, all magazine subscribers are offered a fundraising appeal letter after three magazine issues. Those who have given financially in recent years, will also be given an opportunity to donate again to a similar appeal through a fundraising appeal letter. With every fundraising appeal letter, there is an option of opting out of future appeal letters.
• We send out regular email newsletters, which communicates the impact of the charity and promotional material related to the ministry. New subscribers join these email mailing groups on consent-only basis either by opt-in for Enthuse or double opt-in for our prayer bulletin prayerline on our website or through contact forms.
