Beat The Bounds Walk For Christian Aid 2023

On Saturday 13th May, we will walk a shortened version of our parish boundaries, to raise money for Christian Aid. We set off from church at 10am, to walk approximately 4.5 miles and then return to church for soup and sandwiches.

There will be a small charge for the food, which will be donated in full to Christian 

It's a steady walk with the emphasis on having fun, while appreciating our beautiful villages and countryside.

How your money helps

Poverty pushed Aline to the brink. She was abused, homeless and hungry. But Aline pushed back harder. With Christian Aid funded small business training, she achieved what had seemed impossible, a vital income for her and her children.

Fundraising this Christian Aid Week will ensure more people in Burundi get the skills and knowledge they need to push back against the inhumanity of poverty.
