CHRISTIAN AID WEEK 15 -21st May, 2022:  For the first time in a generation, global poverty is rising.   Covid-19, conflict and climate change are resulting in a struggle for survival for many people.  In Zimbabwe, drought is leading to widespread hunger and is highlighted in Christian Aid week's campaign this year.

 

Despite the pandemic, we raised an amazing £3500 in the Dunbar area last year, much of it from a delivery-only and online collection.  Can you help this year by delivering envelopes to houses?  We are hoping to double the number of volunteer deliverers in order to cover more streets in Dunbar.
