Among the topics for the December PCC each year is the selection of missions and causes we wish to support as part of our First Sunday of the month collection (with the exception of November, when it takes place on the second Sunday, and December, when it covers four services). Here is what we have chosen:
January, February, April, June, July, August | Water Aid
March | The Bishop of London’s Lent Appeal | Modern Day Slavery
May | Toilet Twinning | Tear Fund
September | The Leprosy Mission
October | RABI | The Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution
November | SSAFA | Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association
December | Housing Justice | Winter Night Shelters in London
During December St Giles has played host to a good number of charity carol services and we are grateful to Debbie in the office and Suzie managing things on these nights; a collective total of something over £20,000 has been raised which is a great achievement.
