| SUPPORT FOR CHARITIES
Our policy is to actively support a number of charities and to give at least 10% of our church income to support charities.
We have five ‘core’ charities who we support throughout the year namely : –
The Children’s Society
The Church Army
The Mission to Seafarers
The Scripture Union
The United Society for the Propagation of the Gospel |
In addition we support the following charities with special events or by other fund raising :
PSALMS (Painswick and Stroud Area Local Ministry) – particularly youth work
Christian Aid – in May every year
World Vision – Lideta project – particularly at Harvest time
Christianity in Action Group, which has three strands
(1) Fair Trade
(2) Delivering Aid to Stroud Homeless (DASH)
(3) Letter writing (in support of Christian Aid objectives, Christian Solidarity Worldwide and other issues of freedom and justice raised by members of the group)
