This is the fiftieth year of Christian Aid Week. Many of us feel sad when we see on our TV screens the terrible poverty in the world but feel that there is nothing we can do to change this. Last year �15 million was raised in Christian Aid Week so together we can make a difference. We can be part of the army of 300,000 house to house collectors whose efforts, although individually small, can make real improvements to the lives of many thousands of people. Please do consider whether you can spare a couple of hours to be part of this great fundraising week. If you would be willing to be a house-to-house collector, either on your own or as part of a group, please contact Peter Corbett (01923 267066) Janet Cornell (01923 262468) or John Stickland (01442 832090).
