The way we lead our own
lives can have a tangible
impact in the fight to end
poverty. By ‘doing the right
thing’ we show we have a
commitment to a sustainable
lifestyle that places a high
value on helping others
Christian Aid Week is a moment
unique in its power to inspire
people to give, act and pray in
support of some of the world’s
poorest communities, writes
director Loretta Minghella
In my first
18 months
as director of
Christian Aid,
I have been
inspired and
moved by the
dedication
shown by the
thousands of volunteers who make
Christian Aid Week happen every year
– holding events, raising awareness
and, most importantly of all, pacing the
pavements and going house to house to
raise the money that allows us to provide
vital assistance to the poorest and most
vulnerable people in the world.
We’re all too aware that times are
tough for everyone at the moment, but
we don’t want to cut back on any of the
assistance we provide to our partners
– which is why we’d love Christian Aid
Week this year to be even bigger and
better than ever! We’ll be doing all we
can to make the week as successful as
possible this may, bringing in even more
money and involving even more people
in the fight to end poverty.
To that end, we’d love as many of you
as possible to get involved – perhaps
through your church, work or community
group – to ensure this year’s collection
effort reaches into every corner of
our communities, or by becoming a
volunteer speaker and spreading our
message across your neighbourhood.
We hope that you’ll join us and help
make this the biggest Christian Aid
Week ever!
