Churches Together in Southwell
Southwell Christian Aid Committee
Southwell Christian Aid Committee
The Committee is ecumenical and currently has 9 members, representing five of Southwell’s Churches. We work together to fundraise, promote the work of Christian Aid and coordinate Christian Aid’s annual door to door collection during Christian Aid Week both in Southwell and the surrounding villages. The representatives of the churches act as contact points for more than 100 volunteers who collect and count donations every May.
During 2024 a fantastic £ 8418 has been donated to Christian Aid. Part of this total came from our Churches Together Lent Lunch and The Minster Congregation’s response to the Middle East Humanitarian Appeal. But most of the funds were raised through our Christian Aid Week Electronic Envelope in May and your generous donations to the envelopes posted through your door by our volunteers. Your gifts will help the humanitarian charity continue its work.
Your support in Christian Aid Week will help the charity’s partners empower vulnerable people in Burundi to find practical and sustainable ways out of poverty. The charity provides vital training and support that enables individuals to buy and grow nutritious food, build a home to call their own, access healthcare and education for their children.
Also at this time Christian Aid is continuing its work with the poorest and most vulnerable people in the Middle East providing humanitarian relief in Gaza and Lebanon.
Its established partners in Gaza and Lebanon are responding as best they can, under intense pressure, with medical relief and community-led initiatives such as food, shelter, sanitation and cash. With ongoing conflict across the Middle East, and as the humanitarian situation worsens, Christian Aid will direct its resources to send support to where it is needed most
New delegates on the committee and new volunteers to collect or count during Christian Aid Week or help with our events are always needed and can be sure of a warm welcome.
Together we will beat extreme poverty!
