Christian Aid Week 2026
May 10th - 16th
This year Christian Aid Week focuses on Kenya and Christian Aid's partner, Beacon of Hope, who work with urban
farmers, providing tools, seeds and specialist training.
With seven days to make a difference, every gift, act and prayer counts:
- £5 could buy the seeds that kickstart a family's nutritious vegetable garden.
- £10 could pay for the pair of chickens that produce fertiliser for an urban farmer.
- £15 could purchase the hand tools that mean an urban farmer can tend their crops.
- £30 could buy the trio of cone garden planters that host hundreds of plants in a tiny city space.
You can find out more about the campaign at caweek.org, or you can donate through the Lancaster and area Christian Aid group digital envelope:
