My story

This Christian Aid Week, I’m fundraising to support communities facing the climate crisis and hunger. 

In places like Guatemala, farmers like Aurelia are fighting back against extreme weather that’s destroying their crops and food sources. Despite these challenges, they are learning new skills to grow resilient crops and protect their families from hunger. 

Your support can help fund the vital training these farmers need. Please give what you can to help families like Aurelia’s build a sustainable future.

Walk completed

Well, what a day last Friday. Humbled by the generosity and welcome from friends across Black Country Methodist Circuit as I walked 22 miles to every church in the circuit.
It was a beautiful day. I feel blessed to have been able to do this walk, yes I ached, but recognise how lucky I am compared to many who live in poverty across our world.

How your money helps

This Christian Aid Week, you can support communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis.

In places like Guatemala, extreme weather is destroying crops, deepening hunger and threatening livelihoods. But with the right tools and training, farmers can build sustainable futures.  

Every pound you raise could help:

  • Provide climate-resilient seeds to help families grow food.
  • Fund water conservation techniques to protect crops.
  • Support vital training so farmers can build a sustainable future.
