Fundraising for others

For the next 6 months we will be collecting donations of produce in the green
box at the rear of the church for local charity BEACON FOODBANK, HAVANT.

Christian Aid Week – runs in 2024 from Sunday 12 – Saturday 18 May.
Once again we will be delivering Christian Aid Envelopes throughout the
Parish, and now seek new volunteers to join the existing group.
Christian Aid will be our charity for May, with donations made using the
Christian Aid special envelopes or online direct to Christian Aid.

in the Westbourne Parish Hall. This a social evening with a Mexican
Chilli-con-carne, vegetarian chilli & non-chilli options, as well as a dessert.

Our Home and Overseas Mission Group oversees and co-ordinates fund raising events for the benefit of charities both at home and overseas. Additionally the PCC allocates an additional sum based on 5% of our congregational giving for the year.
