The Christian Aid Committee for Minehead and Alcombe wish to thank everyone who donated money or gave of their time to ensure a very successful week.

Thanks to your generosity we raised a total of £2043.92. Of that total £720.36 came from our street collection, £731.46 from the annual Rainbow Fair, £425.10 from church collections and a further £167.00 from a quiz evening in St Andrew’s Church, Minehead.

The work of Christian Aid is important to all of us who work with the charity. In today’s world where we read so much about the problems in Syria and Iraq and the ongoing problem of feeding and educating the poorer societies of our world, it is important that we do not ignore the needs of those less fortunate than we are.

Thank you to all of you, who helped Minehead and Alcombe to make, no matter how small or how great, an impact on the situation.

Bill Griffiths, Christian Aid Leader, Minehead and Alcombe.
