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.

Updates
On Thursday 8th. May again I travelled to Berwick Station and from there walked to join the South Downs Way at Alfriston. This time I patronised Ye Olde Smugglers Inne before making my way westwards to Southease for 15 kms. There were sheep everywhere calling to their lambs, another good day.
On Friday 16th. May I returned to Southease, had lunch amid gossamer and lady smocks with a view in the distance of Brighton Football Club's Amex Stadium and a very faint noise from the A27 road, to which I was making my way. A bird of prey swooped overhead and again the sun shone. After an unpleasant stretch beside the A27 I arrived at the bus stop by Housedean Farm camp site, 10.5 kms.
On Saturday 3rd. May I walked from Eastbourne Station up Beachy Head, where it was wonderful to hear the larks twittering overhead, past Belle Tout Lighthouse, where I ate my sandwiches, and over the Seven Sisters to the Seven Sisters Country Park 12 kms, a gloriously sunny day.
On Monday 5th. May I walked from Berwick Station to join the South Downs Way at Alfriston, where I enjoyed a very expensive half of Harvey's bitter at the handsome George Inn before walking back, eastwards this time, to the Seven Sisters Country Park 7.5 kms. The weather wasn't so good; the sun came and went.
