Christian Aid Week in Danbury, Lt Baddow & Bicknacre

Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of their dignity and lets injustice thrive.

We seek to eradicate extreme poverty by tackling its root causes. Together with people living in poverty, we amplify our voices to speak truth to power and create lasting change.

Christian Aid started in May 1957 driven by Christians concerned at the plight of post-war refugees, worldwide.

Everyone is equal in the sight of God. For over 75 years, this truth has inspired us to stand together in solidarity with our most marginalised global neighbours, of all faiths and none. Christian Aid and it's partner organisations are helping people find ways to combat their catastrophes with programmes to learn how to grow crops, dig wells,form self-help groups and provide vital medical care.

In Danbury, the first committee was formed in the early '60's with a programme of fundraising events and a house to house collection covering the village. We now have been joined by Lt Baddow and Bicknacre and remain one of the top fund raisers in the South East. We need to maintain our efforts, the need is still there and house to house collections has been replaced by online giving.

This year "The Week" is 12th-18th May and we have once again set up this Just Giving page to enable on line donations.Any amount however big or small is always gratefully received. Thank you so much for your generosity.
