Our Charities

As a church family we continue to support four charities. Until last year (2024) we supported 'Christ for all in Andhra Pradesh', for over a decade. Church members are also encouraged to take part in a town wide initiative to create Christmas Shoe boxes – in 2024 the main destination was Serbia. In recent years, and with the passing of time, those who had taken responsibility for organising and promoting certain charity events, were no longer able to do so. The PCC took the decision to move to a position of only adopting charities where we could get someone who would 'champion' the cause for their nominated charity. In 2024, a total of £1,130 was given.

Our 'nominated' Charities for 2025 are:

St Luke's Hospice (Winsford)

St Luke’s is the hospice for mid & south Cheshire; it exists to offer care & support local people affected by life-threatening illness. It provides residential care as well as caring for day patients. It also actively provides support for the patient’s families.

Crisis

Crisis is a UK national charity for homeless people. The charity offers housing, education, employment and well-being services. It has centres in East London, Newcastle, Oxford, Edinburgh, Yorkshire, Croydon, Brent, and Merseyside. These centres are called Crisis Skylight Centres. Crisis asks for your support and says “Together we will end homelessness.”

UCB Support

USB's Vision Statement – United Christian Broadcasters is a Christian media charity that exists to offer every person, in every place, every moment of the day, the opportunity to hear, watch or read the Word of God in a relevant and engaging way.

Hope for Justice

Hope for Justice works in the UK, USA, Ethiopia & Uganda to bring freedom from human trafficking and modern slavery by identifying victims, supporting survivors and preventing exploitation. Activities include outreach, community prevention, shelters, advocacy, training, and policy work. Our subsidiary, SFA helps organisations protect their supply chains against modern slavery and exploitation.

We support these four charities across the year with a direct gift from church funds and various fundraising events and initiatives.  We also, on occasion, collect for Christian Aid, the Foodbank, and the Children's Society.
