Help The Persecuted
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Help The Persecuted's direct assistance is for Christians facing religious persecution in hostile regions, so a group whose work or beneficiaries lie outside that focus is unlikely to fit.
- Its objects also allow grants to organisations supporting persecuted populations, so a group already working with persecuted Christians is the clearer match.
- No public application process is published and no grant range is given, so the route is not an open application: direct help reaches people through local organisations referring cases to HTP Group staff, and a small group should ask how that referral route works before it writes a request.
- The annual report shows £345,000 paid, but the register does not confirm that scale, and the sources give no typical size or timing for a grant, so ask staff about both before framing any figure.
- Cases are verified against strict criteria before help is agreed, which suggests a relationship-led process.

Priority Areas
Help The Persecuted provides direct practical and spiritual assistance to Christians in the most hostile regions of the world, focusing on people living in poverty or distress because of religious persecution. Local organisations refer cases to HTP Group staff; before direct assistance is agreed, case details are verified against strict criteria and needs assessed. The charity provides relief and pastoral care to individuals and families, including safe accommodation, basic living expenses, school fees, medical care and trauma counselling, as well as livelihood support such as small-business grants and vocational training. It works with other Help The Persecuted organisations internationally and indigenous staff to identify and direct support to persecuted people. Its objects also allow grants, services and programmes for individuals in need and organisations supporting persecuted populations.
