Charities

We care about the world and the community in which we live and we support a number of local, national and international charities. Often this can be through a variety of fundraising events. We also allocate funds to charitable causes as decided annually by our church council. Each year we aim to give away a minimum of 10% of our planned income to others who need our help.

We have a weekly ‘copper collection’ too during our 10.30am Sunday Services. This money goes to charities which are suggested by the young people in our church.

In 2024 our charitable giving together represented more than £3,300 in financial support.

Practical Help

We give practical help to the Porch Project and our friends at the Salvation Army with gifts of food and sometimes clothing. Plus we make up ‘Shoe Boxes’ filled with small gifts for children suffering hardship and donate toys and clothing to The Eagles Wing.

Financial Support

In addition to those mentioned above, the charities that we financially supported in 2024 included: Christians Against Poverty, Church Homeless Trust, Church Mission Society, Derian House, Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, Practical Action, The Royal British Legion, Tearfund, The Eagles Wing and WaterAid.

We also supported The Christie with money received over the Christmas period. Our Vicar is currently receiving treatment there.
