Stand by Me rescues children and then we do whatever it takes to provide the love, care and attention they need to thrive.

I am delighted to introduce our 2025-2026 CE Missionary Project – Stand By Me. They have sent us a short introduction about who they are and what they do:

Stand by Me rescues children and then we do whatever it takes to provide the love, care and attention they need to thrive. We work in 6 different countries, caring for thousands of children who each day face the realities of poverty. Through the provision of nutritious meals, access to healthcare and the opportunity of a life changing education we hope to make a lasting difference, helping the children in our care to overcome the obstacles they face and become the people God created them to be.

We are excited to partner with CE this year and love helping children and young people in Northern Ireland discover the difference they can make in the lives of our kids around the world. We have some resources available for leaders to use with their young people, helping them to think about what life is like for the children in our care, and would love for CE groups to partner with us through fundraising, either by participating in February on the Floor, or coming up with your own ideas! We are so grateful for CE’s support this year in helping to transform the lives of Stand by Me kids around the world.

Stand By Me have put together a Missionary Pack with details about their work and how we in CE can support them. This includes resources for both Juniors and older members of CE, as well as information about their February on the Floor campaign which you might like to get involved with in your CE society, so please do have a look and make use of these within your CE group.

All the resources prepared by Stand By Me are available through their website – if you click the link below, you will be brought straight to them: www.standby.me/ce
