My story

This May, St Mary's Peterborough are fundraising to support communities facing the climate crisis and hunger. 

On Saturday 10 May we'll be holding a sponsored 'Gospelathon' in church, reading through all four gospels out loud and hoping to beat last year's time of ten hours.

During Christian Aid Week 11-17 May we'll be holding a house-to-house collection round some of the roads in our parish, and inviting the residents to donate.

And on Wednesday 21, Thursday 22, Friday 23 & Saturday 24 May our vicar Revd Michael Moore will be walking a total of 70km on his sponsored walk round the parish.

Why are we doing this?  To support farmers in places like Guatemala, who 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 them build a sustainable future. Thank you.

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.
