Christian Aid Week: Monday 10 May to Sunday 16 May

The local Christian Aid Group are currently planning this year’s Christian Aid Week and most PACT Churches are taking part in the ‘house to house’ collecting. If you are interested in helping to collect, please click on the Church you attend to see the roads where you can help, or if you would rather offer to do the road where you live, then find out which church collects the street you live in, and send an email to us.

For those who are organizing the road collections, click on your church to view or/and print an additional copy of the roads you collect.

If you find roads on your list that are no longer collected by your church, then please let us know by sending an email to Christian.Aid@pact.org.uk. If you would like to start collecting one of the roads which is currently not allocated, please also email us to let us know.

Maggie Burton-Page is Christian Aid Co-ordinator for the area and deals with ordering materials; she is not involved with allocation of roads. Maggie's email address is: maggiebp@freeuk.com

Christian Aid Week is Britain’s longest-running fundraising week and has been a firm fixture in the calendar of many thousands of people each year since 1957. It is famous for the distinctive envelope that drops through the letterboxes of millions of homes each May – and for the massive impact that the week has made in the fight to end the scandal of poverty around the world.

For example, people such as Catherine Nyaata, in the slums or informal settlements of Nairobi, Kenya have been given a significant boost as they try to work their way out of poverty. Thanks to Christian Aid partner organisation MNU, members of Catherine’s community have been able to install five toilet and shower blocks. ‘They have brought us more dignity. Previously there was none,’ says Catherine.

Christian Aid is an international development agency with a vision – an end to poverty – and it believes that vision can become a reality. It works through partner organisations in around 50 countries for profound change that eradicates the causes of poverty, striving to achieve equality, dignity and freedom for all, regardless of faith or nationality.
