Christian Aid 2019 – report
In Sandhurst & Yateley, we had another successful Christian Aid Week, as can be seen in the table below.
The continued decline in House to House collections was partially off set by new ventures, such as the collection at The Meadows, but more needs to be done if we are to continue to assist the poorest in the world.
Our Church continues to actively support Christian Aid, and for that we are all grateful. A date for your diary is Saturday May 16th 2020 when the Quiz for Christian Aid will be held again at St George’s Church, Owlsmoor.
