I am constantly amazed at the work that the Centre for Helath and Healing does here at St Martin in the Bull Ring in Birmingham and as part of the clergy team I am also very grateful for the valuable work that they do with those who are most vulnerable. Clergy provide spiritual support for anyone who needs it but the team of workers and volunteers are able to provide practical support and help in a much more effective way than we as clergy could ever do. It really is a place where faith can be seen in action.

But like many services across Birmingham, funding is always a struggle and so with the Great Birmingham Run looming on Sunday 23 October I thought this would be a great opportunity to help support their work by entering and raising money for them. I will be doing so as part of the Birmingham Diocesan initiative “Run the Race keep the faith” where we are aiming to have 100 Christian runners take part to raise £100,000 for charity.

Please help by donating now! It's easy and secure using the Justgiving website and the money will be paid straight to St Martins Centre for Health and Healing and will go towards helping the most vulnerable in Birmingham.

Thank you for your time and generosity.
