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: AUGUST- Christian Aid is an international NGO that works for profound changes that eradicate the causes of poverty. It is the official relief and development agency of 41 British and Irish churches, and works to support sustainable development, stop poverty, support civil society and provide disaster relief in South America, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia (including the Middle East). The Charity strives to achieve equality, dignity and freedom globally for all regardless of faith or nationality. www.christianaid.org.uk
