LinksCharities We Support To be a receiving church we must be a giving church too. So we have chosen to support one charity each month. They are currently:
The chosen charity receives 10% of our open collections at services during that month. Each month's charity is featured in a display
on the porch notice board. Christian Aid, working as it does amongst the poorest of the world's people, is supported both at the time of Christian Aid Week and at Christmas. There is a strong Christian Aid committee
in Helmsley, which organises events, including a fundraising sale in
Christian Aid Week, as well as the door-to-door envelope collection.
For more information or to volunteer to help make contact via the Contacts
section. The Yorkshire Historic Churches Trust,
part of the National Churches Trust (our February charity), is also
supported through our involvement in their annual Sponsored
Bike Ride. www.yhct.org.uk
Farm Crisis Network (FCN, www.farmcrisisnetwork.org), helping farming people through difficult times, is a UK network of groups of volunteers drawn from the farming community and rural churches. It sells the Vicar's books, A Vicar's Diary and A Summer's Diary for their funds. Click here for details.
