New Ways is made up of people from a wide variety of backgrounds and cultures. We are based in London but have members in continental Europe, Africa and the U.S.A. What we share in common is a commitment to use our talents, time and energy to help communities suffering deprivation, and bring new opportunity to some of the world's poorest people.

We make great efforts to keep our administration costs low (last year they accounted for 1.2% of income). As all of these costs are covered by subscriptions that we already receive and specific donations from benefactors, all of the money raised through our fundraising events or through other donations goes directly to project work.

While we are non-denominational, most of our funding goes to our main overseas partner organisation the Missionary Community of St Paul the Apostle (MCSPA), with a small proportion going to other organisations. The projects we support are almost exclusively health, education, water and agriculture and assist local people irrespective of their faith background. We support the objectives set out in the Make Poverty History campaign.

Our aim is to help reduce poverty regardless of the race, religion or politics of those in need.

New ways is a UK registered charity.
