Another Successful Christian Aid Week 2016 in Larne

Many thanks to all who organised, collected and gave to Christian Aid Week 2016! Jackie Tennant (Christian Aid Co-ordinator for Larne) informs us that this year's collection realised £10,275.60 - yet again, an increase on the previous year.

Christian Aid not only responds to emergencies but works with overseas partners so that our global neighbours are better placed to help themselves in ways that are appropriate and sustainable. Being a good neighbour to the poorest and marginalised in our world also means raising our voices to advocate for these vulnerable people. Sending aid is only a "sticking plaster" gesture if it is not backed up with real efforts to tackle the injustices in global systems that would keep the poorest perpetually poor and vulnerable.

Each year Christian Aid Week raises funds and raises awareness so that what needs to be done can be done!
