Each year, the congregation at St. Andrew’s nominates charities, both local and national, who they‘d like to support over the coming twelve months, over and above their weekly giving to the Church. The congregation then votes and the top ten charities (plus the annual Bishop of London’s Lent Appeal and CofE Schools in the Diocese) are each allocated a month and details of the charity are posted in church and donations placed in the collection box.
Charity of the Month: December: Breast Cancer Care is the only specialist UK-wide charity in the UK providing care, support and information to anyone affected by breast cancer, regardless of their geographical location, race, age and background. BCC also fight breast cancer in countries across the globe to reduce breast cancer mortality worldwide. www. breastcancersupport.org.uk
