The Youth Charity Foundation
All Saints has supported and worked with the Youth Charity Foundation for over ten years.
YCF provides a safe home for over forty underprivileged children, with access to a good education that prepares them for life ahead.
All Saints helps to administer and funnel around one million baht ($30,000) annually to YCF through its UK All Saints Chiang Mai Mission charity (Charity No. 1182147) and also raises money locally.
We also have many joint activities, and church members lead a twice-weekly choir practice for the children who want to join developing both their musical ability and English-language skills.
Helping Trans People to Relocate to safety.
transACTIONrefuge was founded with the help of All Saints, Chiang Mai, and is now an independent organisation.
With the growing hostility to trans people in the US and other western countries, transACTIONrefuge exists to help trans people relocate to Thailand – a tolerant, safe and welcoming country in South-East Asia.
transACTIONrefuge is led by trans people, and allies, to help other trans people in need of support. It has its own structure, Facebook Page, and Website.
Chiang Mai has a vibrant expat community consisting of digital nomads, teachers, and retirees. transACTIONrefuge aims to help trans people and their families navigate the pitfalls of moving to an unfamiliar country – giving help with visas, accommodation, healthcare, jobs, and daily living.
transACTIONrefuge is a trans & queer-led not-for-profit in Chiang Mai, Thailand, helping trans folks relocate to safety, and find a community to thrive in and works in collaboration with the Thanthayar Foundation
Help for Myanmar / Burma
The Burmese border is only 4 hours drive from Chiang Mai but in many ways Myanmar is another world. Riven by years of civil war, it was hit by a magnitude 7.9 earthquake at the end of March.
All Saints has collected money to send to a partner church in Mandalay near the epicenter of the earthquake, and continues to collect clothes which we take to refugees near the border.
A number of church members also work or volunteer with NGOs working to provide medical care in our war-torn neighbor.
