In May this year the clergy from Kingston churches walked an incredible 1.8 million steps to raise a staggering £18,529 during Christian Aid Week.

Now we turn our attention to the festive period, when we hoped to gather a small and socially distanced group of carol singers in Kingston town centre. Sadly Tier 4 rules mean that we can no longer do so. 

That said, we still have our sights set on £20,000, which will help poor communities across the world build hope in the face of the pandemic. 

Please help us raise what we normally would through our carol singing efforts to support those who need us now. 

Remember that Christian Aid works with churches, individuals and local organisations in communities worldwide, supporting people of all faiths and none to rise out of poverty. We help people survive disasters, deal with the impact of climate change, find shelter from conflict and have a voice in their communities.

And a message from Christian Aid:

As this virus spreads across the world, love rises up in response. You've already shown incredible kindness to your neighbours. Now is the time to reach out to your neighbours both near and far. Your love protects. From storms, from drought, and now from coronavirus. Your love protects our global neighbours battling the spread of this illness. Your love protects. With soap, clean water and medical supplies. By supporting us this Christian Aid Week you can reach out and protect more of your neighbours today. For over 70 years, we've been standing with the poorest of our neighbours, with people of all faiths and none, to stand up for dignity, equality and justice. Let's stand together with our neighbours near and far.
