In 2018, Relational Mission churches in the UK and mainland Europe were given the opportunity to submit proposals to be put forward for this years Christmas Appeal, that would see people empowered and lives transformed in their local communities. A number of churches took the opportunity and we have shortlisted five projects to be included in this years appeal that tackle key issues facing communities today.

Your giving will help restore broken families, release people from debt, support those experiencing mental ill health and isolation and overcome prejudice so marginalised communities can be reached.

All these projects outlined below focus on empowerment, not short term fixes and aim to provide sustainable and long lasting transformation in peoples lives, offering them an escape from the poverty and hopelessness they are trapped in.
