All We Can update
WMC: November 2018
All We Can: In October the church began its second year as a Partner Church with All We Can.
A reminder that their campaign for this year, "Let your light shine" enables communities to be transformed through the use of solar irrigation systems, with a particular focus on Malawi.
Our first fund raising event was connected with our Harvest Festival. Over that period our envelope fund-raising and some members other donations raised a total of £737.90p of which £605 was gift aided.
This means that All We Can will receive a total of approximately £890 from our first contribution in this second year.
