Christian
Aid week falls in the middle of May each year and is a charity actively
supported by St Giles church. Whilst physically impossible to cover
every street in the Parish volunteers cover a fair proportion of them.
Delivering and collecting envelopes is a worthy life-saving effort to help
those far worse off than ourselves.
Christian Aid
An agency of the churches in the UK and Ireland, Christian Aid works wherever the need is greatest, irrespective of religion. It supports local organisations, which are best placed to understand local needs, as well as giving help on the ground through 16 overseas offices.
Christian Aid believes in strengthening people to find their own solutions to the problems they face. It strives for a new world transformed by an end to poverty and campaigns to change the rules that keep people poor.
