ASCM is a student movement, but could not exist without the support it receives from sources outside its student members.
One of our main sources of support are Friends. Friends are mainly people who were members of ASCM while at University, and still wish to keep in touch with the movement. Some Friends were never ASCM members, but are sympathetic to our aims and wish to be involved.
Friends offer varying levels of support and involvement. Some are on Area Councils, others are Trustees, another maintains the Friends e-mail list. Others choose not to take on particular roles, but support us through prayer and donations.
ASCM has many Friends, and it is always a pleasure to receive news from them. One way of doing this is through JG. Another way to stay in touch is through passing on news via mail and e-mail. We ask that if you have any news about Friends, especially pastoral issues, that you contact either the National Coordinator or your local Area Council.
If there is any news that you would like to share via this website, then please contact the webweaver.
The reality of operating a movement such as the ASCM is that things cost! Our largest budget line is for travel, both to committee meetings within Australia, and overseas conferences. The aim of these meetings and conferences is to build the leadership capability of our members for the benefit of both ASCM and the broader community.
We send out an annual appeal each year, and all responses to that are gratefully received. However, some of you might find it convenient to give at other times, which you can now do very easily from this website.
Another support to the ASCM is the Centenary Trust. This was set up in 1996 to provide us with a financial asset. Donations are still being made to the Trust, and we are gradually approaching the target amount! ASCM applies to the Trustees for access to the interest to fund particular projects. Donations to the Trust (and to the WSCF) can be made using the same form as for a donation to the ASCM.
Here are the various ways to make a donation:
Donations to the ASCM or the Trust cannot be used as a tax-deduction.
