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 for October 2023: This month we are supporting Breast Cancer UK: 'Our mission is to prevent breast cancer through education, scientific research, collaboration, and policy change. Around 56,000 women and 390 men a year in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer. Yet at least 30% of these cases could be prevented through lifestyle changes. That means an estimated 17,000 cases of breast cancer could be prevented, saving millions of lives, avoiding unnecessary suffering, and reducing the cost to the NHS by over £1.5 billion a year. It is raising awareness of these preventable factors which drive us. We believe our work can have a significant impact in helping women and men reduce their risk of developing breast cancer.'
