Objectives, strategies and activities Christian Associates United Kingdom ("CAUK") is the UK charitable trust which receives donations made in the UK for Communitas International (previously Christian Associates International} missionaries and projects. In the interests of maximising their involvement, donors are invited to identify to which, if any, specific missionaries and projects they would like their donations to be allocated and to communicate their choices to the trustees. Although the trustees aim to take these donor preferences into account when making grants, they do not represent any kind of restriction. Public benefit CAUK works out its Public Benefit in a variety of ways, in line with its objective of promoting the Christian religion in the United Kingdom and the rest of the world. CAUK believes that the Christian faith is of benefit to society and individuals, bringing a vision of transformation for peace and social harmony. Its activities focus on helping to establish and support churches that follow Jesus in transforming their world. This includes supporting the provision of opportunities for public worship and leaching of the Christian faith, the training and development of church leaders and attendees, and the delivery of various local projects that promote human rights, community development and multicultural integration.
