Did you know that ....
every pound you give to Cheltenham Christian Aid for the current project to help refugees in Lebanon and Iraq will be matched at a rate of 6:1. So, the pound in your pocket is worth 7 pounds to refugees from Syria!
if you are a British tax payer, you can gift money too - for every pound you gift aid, the govenment reimburses the 25p tax directly to Christian Aid!
The dates of some events that are planned for 2023 are shown below (further details will be available in due course). In the meantime, Christian Aid's work remains as essential as ever - if you want to support the work, you can make a donation on the Christian Aid Appeal page.
Saturday 13 May 2023 - Sponsored Walk
14-20 May 2023 - Christian Aid Week
Saturday 20 May 2023 - Street Collection in Town Centre
Saturday 19 August 2023 - Picnic in the Park
Carol Singing . December 2022
In 2022, it was good to be able to go out again, and sing carols for Christian Aid in various locations in Cheltenham, after a gap of two years. The carol singing raised £145 on 15 December and £1068 on 17 December. Thank you to everyone who took part!

For safety reasons, it was not possible to hold many local fundraising events in 2021, but we hope to stage more events in 2022. Christian Aid's work remains as essential as ever - if you want to support the work, you can make a donation on the Christian Aid Appeal page.
Events planned for 2022 are:
15-21 May - Christian Aid Week. This year in Cheltenham we
will be delivering envelopes to streets throughout the town, but
we will not be collecting them. Instead we will be asking for
online donations.
Saturday 10 September - Sponsored Walk. Details to be
announced.
Christian Aid Week 2021
Although, following Coronavirus Guidance, it was not possible to do house-to-house collections this year, Cheltenham churches were able to raise more than £14.000 for the Christian Aid Week appeal - this includes money raised in sponsored walks by several supporters. Thank you to everyone who helped to raise this excellent total.
