Christian Aid Week

Posted on June 19, 2005

A really big thank you to everyone in our villages, givers and collectors, for a magnificent £4,014!

This is the third year running that our collection total has increased; due to your generosity but also to more people completing the Gift Aid form on the envelope which this year amounted to £1,418.

It is always difficult to thank all the people who have helped us, but we would like to record a special thank you to Les Bradbury, who has been a collector for 18 years and is now "resting" - well done Les!

Many thanks also to our friends at 'Churches Together' for organising the coffee morning and Christian Aid service.

This year's collection is especially important as 2005 is "Make Poverty History Year" and you have responded with a 15% increase over last year's collection, a wonderful contribution. The important fact to remember is that Christian Aid works through partner organizations in developing countries and so gives support directly to people in need - rest assured you all made a difference to our planet.
