One is a children's shop selling toys, clothing, books etc. and one is an adults shop which mainly sells clothing, jewelry and books. Go to find a bargain!
Toilet Twinning aims to bring safe water and sanitation to poor communities, using donations to build basic toilets, create access to clean water and provide education on good hygiene. You may have seen around our churches where we have a photo of a toilet or toilets that we've been able to twin with our donations, usually just by collecting change!
JMA or Junior Mission for All was created so children could learn about and support the mission of the church in a fun, creative way. The JMA allows children to get involved with raising money for the Methodist Church's World Mission Fund and Mission in Britain fund meaning they are a part of improving people's lives across the globe.
Hope in Sri Lanka is a charity that supports orphans and abandoned children in Sri Lanka, particularly in the wake of the 2004 tsunami. Pam and Keith Pollen started the charity after volunteering in Sri Lanka where they saw the need to help the children left orphaned after the disaster. They go out to Sri Lanka at least 3 times a year to take donations and their current project is the refurbishment of 'Hope Cottage' which will then be a place for the older boys from the orphanage to stay.
Christians Against Poverty or CAP are a charity who are on a mission to release as many people as possible from the stress and worry of debt. Through counselling, community groups, job clubs, advice and support CAP continue to help people manage their debt and move forward without its horrible grip. While CAP has a strong Christian ethos the majority of their clients aren't Christians and they fully respect their beliefs.
Sat 7 is a UK charity that aims to bring a message of faith, hope, love and peace directly into the lives of people across the Middle East and North Africa with the power of television and digital media. The programmes encourage isolated and persecuted believers and introduce them to the Good News as well as offering hope to these places in the world that have suffered so much conflict, oppression and instability.
Over the past year or so the Rossendale Circuit has been able to welcome various people to their church families who have sought asylum in the UK after facing religious persecution in the country they lived in. Having left behind family, all their belongings as well as jobs and businesses it is understandably a tough time of readjustment. The circuit has set up a fund that can be drawn upon in order to help these individuals if needed to offer them a helping hand as they start their new lives in England. Please contact us for more information or to donate.
