Christian Aid Week - May 10 to 16
Christian Aid exists to create a world where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty.
It is a global movement of people, churches and local organisations who passionately champion dignity, equality, justice and love worldwide.
This has been a turbulent year, marked by the scale and intensity of emergencies around the world, and dramatic cuts in official aid funding.
In the face of war and hunger, disaster and despair, they sow seeds of hope from community kitchens and medical services in Gaza and Lebanon, urban farming initiatives in Kenya, to new climate-resilient farming approaches in the Guatemalan highlands.
Last year Christian Aid funded 463 projects in 28 countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East, working with 289 partners on the ground, directly reaching 4.1 million people making real and lasting differences in their lives.
None of this could be done without the generosity of committed supporters whose gifts enable life-saving and life-changing work all around the world.
Envelopes are being delivered with the May Link magazine.
You can return them to:
ARNCLIFFE & LITTONDALE - Lane Top House, Arncliffe.
BUCKDEN - Pike Foot, Buckden.
CONISTONE and KILNSEY - Fishers Barn, Conistone.
HALTON GILL - Church Cottage.
HUBBERHOLME - The George Inn.
KETTLEWELL & STARBOTTON - Kettlewell Village Shop.
Please don’t forget to complete the Gift Aid slips where applicable.
Alternatively donations can be paid direct into the Upper Wharfedale Fellowship of Churches Christian Aid account 20-78-42 account number 43851834 or cheques payable to Christian Aid can be sent to Joanna Clarke at Birchwood, Wharfeside Avenue, Threshfield BD23 5BS.
Thank you for your support, which is greatly needed by so many.
