From your website: "We are linked to a local Church called Rainbow Church, and work within the same offices."
This pledge looks very worthy, but I do not wish to give money to religious organisations.
I know this is just me, and that not everyone feels the same way, but I think that you should have made this clear on the original pledge.
Thanks for your comment, just to clarify, Jae is not a religious organisation in itself, we have historic links with Rainbow Church and rent space in their offices but we don't have any religious intent nor do we educate young people about any particular religion.
I did not want to overload the description with all of that information, when the pledge is complete I will ensure that all of the pledgees' recieve our annual report and other trust information, including the history of the project. Thanks for your comment it is very much appreciated.
Don't take my word for it, after every session we run we try and take evaluation forms from students and teachers to improve on our work, it also gives us a great feeling when we read positive comments!
