CHRISTIAN AID 2022: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Hungry for Justice<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This year we took our lead from women in Zimbabwe who struggle to survive due to the climate crisis. With training to use different farming methods, seeds and types of crops they are successful in growing enough to eat, store and sell.<\/p>\n Post pandemic we needed new ideas this year to raise money. After much consideration we included:<\/p>\n A Coffee, Cakes and Books morning: This was supported well from the local community here in Wenvoe, with visitors from Sully, and St. Lythans. Friends and family members also came and enjoyed the event. The total raised was \u00a3573.75 (including gift aid).<\/p>\n Another new idea was \u2018Delivery Only Envelopes\u2019 throughout the village. Volunteers delivered envelopes, including information of where they can return a filled envelop back to the volunteer\u2019s address or to the church. This was most successful raising \u00a31,558.93 (including gift aid).<\/p>\n Gwenfo school held their usual Big Brekkie for lunch and had a non-uniform day raising \u00a3219.30.<\/p>\n Additional donations of \u00a3245.69 were received from the churches in Sully and St Lythans.<\/p>\n This was a great result and was only realised with the work of all concerned including, young people taking a lead in the Christian Aid service, cake makers, book donators, refreshment servers and book sellers, balloon crafts people and bunting hangers, poster maker, envelop delivers, money counters, a chief cashier and a verifier!<\/p>\n All these efforts combined to make a great week\u2019s activities and an amazing financial result. This in turn should enable women in Zimbabwe to continue to gain training to develop their skills.<\/p>\n Lastly, many thanks to all who so generously donated to the total of \u00a32,597.67 (including gift aid).<\/p>\n Jude Billingham<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n CHRISTIAN AID 2022: Hungry for Justice This year we took our lead from women in Zimbabwe who struggle to survive due to the climate crisis.
