STREET COLLECTION - morning of Saturday 17 May in Cricklade High Street

When seeing the news from the most disadvantaged and war-torn areas of the world it is apparent that Christian Aid's help and support has never been more needed. The withdrawal of overseas aid in whole or part by the governments of the USA and UK has placed massive pressure on charities such as Christian Aid to fill the gap left. Christian Aid is continuing to respond to crisis and to maintain their extensive development work through their local partners but they need help. Over the last months Christian Aid has supported in particular relief work in Gaza, Israel, the West Bank and Myanmar.
