CIRENCESTER Christian Aid Group is pleased to confirm that this year’s house-to-house annual appeal, held in May, raised £11,567.

With the inclusion of Gift Aid, the total is £12,687, a ten percent increase on last year.

A huge thank you to everyone across Cirencester and the surrounding villages, who contributed so generously and to our team of wonderful volunteers without whom the appeal could not happen.

The monies raised will help fund projects targeted on the poorest and most vulnerable in our world and are not a ‘hand out’ but a ‘hand up’ empowering poor communities to help themselves.
