HURC supports Christian Aid the international care charity Christian Aid is the main aid agency for the churches in Britain taking emergency aid to disaster areas, money which is much needed but as problems continually arise there is an endless need. They also work with around 600 partner organisations (not through governments) in more than 50 countries, helping some of the world’s poorest communities to grow their way out of poverty. This year Herringthorpe raised £653 of which £170 was given by members of this congregation on Christian Aid Sunday. £245 was gift aided which adds £68 to our total.
