  • Working with Churches Together in Lancaster with the Good Friday Walk of Witness
  • Working with Churches Together on Christmas events in the City Centre
  • Having dialogue with the police and some council departments
  • Meeting together as Church Leaders to plan and consider how to serve the area

HOPE encourages the whole church to do more together in word and action. HOPE seeks to resource and equip the Church for doing mission locally. Be part of it. Be part of something bigger!

Lancaster and Area Christian Aid Group

 

 We are a local group working together with around twenty churches and groups to support the work of Christian Aid.  

Christian Aid is an organisation which works globally for change that eradicates the causes of poverty, striving to achieve equality, dignity and freedom for all, regardless of faith or nationality, and providing assistance where need is great, tackling the effects of poverty as well as its root causes. Christian Aid works with local partners in some of the world’s poorest communities: http://www.christianaid.org.uk

Our group’s main fundraising focuses on Christian Aid Week every year in May, but along with other local social justice groups we support national campaigns and initiatives, including climate and tax justice campaigns.

Please do get in touch if you would like to get involved, or to find out more about what we do.

Group organiser: Gill Burgess 07790 507326                    

Group chair: currently vacant – any interest in taking on this role would be most welcome.
