The Outreach Committee administers the Chapel's giving for outreach at home
and abroad.
In 2007, donations were as follows:
Ministry
and Mission Fund (Cong Fed) £394
OMS
International £400
ASSIST
(Sheffield) £170.
In addition the church sent away collections
to Christian
Aid totalling £816 at
harvest and Christmas.
We also collected foodstuffs for the Booth
Centre homeless project based
at Manchester Cathedral, at harvest, and food, clothing and toiletries for
Christmas.
We donated toys and books for children in
a women's refuge.
So far in 2007:
Our Sponsored Sing for the
Anthony Nolan Trust in April raised
£601. Ladies are knitting hats, jackets and blankets for Stepping Hill
Hospital's premature baby unit, several bagfuls of which have been delivered
already.
Play and educational equipment have been sent
via the Chernobyl
Children's Project to an orphanage and school in Belarus.
