Christian Aid Week is from 10th to 16th May this year.
Main Web Site

Christian Aid’s work has never been more vital: their work amongst communities devastated by climate change around the world, their support for projects providing water and sanitation during the pandemic crisis, their work fighting injustice for the world’s poor. And all this against the backdrop of the UK government’s reduction in the UK Aid budget. Christian Aid represents all the UK churches and this year celebrates 75 years fighting global poverty. In Windsor we are always delighted to work together as representatives from almost all the churches, to support their work.
Again this year we have a justgiving website if people would like to give directly to Christian Aid Week 2021. Please publicise this page as much as you can. We are not undertaking the usual house to house collection with red envelopes and people might like the opportunity to give directly:

£30 could buy six taps for a dam’s waterpoint, helping communities access water
£50 could buy over 400kg of cement, building a strong and durable dam a community can depend on
£100 could teach 225 farmers how to plant drought-tolerant crops that can survive drought caused by climate change
