Christian Aid Week 2021
75th Birthday – Celebrations ?
This year Christian Aid should be celebrating its 75th birthday. It was created by UK Churches (including ours !) in the aftermath of World War
It has gone on to help millions of people in the poorest parts of the globe.
However, the threats caused by Climate Change & the Covid-19 Pandemic have meant celebrations are muted and the focus continues to be on fighting the Pandemic and stopping the climate crisis.
Christian Aid Week (10th – 16th May) is a main source of income for Christian Aid but the Pandemic has meant most local fund raising activities are delayed or cancelled. Hopefully our Church will be able to do a collection for Christian Aid at the service on May 9th but if you can’t make this you can still donate…locally we have a Just Giving page with a somewhat long address :
or on the national Christian Aid website:

and you can find out much more about Christian Aid Week below, including how the action from the Christian Aid partner, the Anglican Development Services Eastern, in Kenya is helping alleviate drought.
