Members of churches in Whaley Bridge  set themselves a target to raise £5,000 for an African charity as part of Christian Aid and managed to raise this amount through various fund raising activities before Christmas.

The EU has matchfunded the Burkina project, which would turns the Whaley Bridge effort into £25,000!

Proceeds from The Kinder Children’s Choir Concert on April 23rd at Whaley Bridge Uniting Church will now be donated to church funds. Tickets are £8, or £3 for anyone in full time education, and are available from the church shop (‘Over the Road’) in Whaley Bridge or by contacting Carol Reid on cmreid41@gmail.com.
