Christian Aid Week 2022
Christian Aid Week 2022 focused on the droughts which numerous countries around the world face. It recognised that droughts have become more intense and more common because of the changing climate and sought to help those who have been affected.
All Saints’ Church held a Big Brekkie on Sunday 15th May to raise funds for this appeal.
Big thanks for the Big Brekkie and activities for Christian Aid:
We raised £672.49 in our Big Brekkie fundraising on 15th May! It will go to the 2022 Christian Aid Week appeal. It will buy 22 taps🚰 to help to alleviate the effects of climate change in Zimbabwe which Wendy talked to us about on 15th May. Thanks to Sara and Mark and everyone who helped.
Mr Hunter says: “Thank you to the children, teaching staff and students for their fantastic steps – well over 700,000 steps in total which equates to 192 miles and with Sunday’s additional miles at The Big Breakfast for Christian Aid we reached nearly 200 miles!

Thanks to Everyone who donated to our Shoebox Appeal 2021
Members of our church have been supporting this appeal for many years. It is organised by the Christian charity, Samaritan’s Purse.
Shoeboxes are packed with gifts for children who would otherwise not receive a gift.
The gifts are packed with prayer and love and spread the joy of Christmas and of Christ to those who need to hear it.
