Methodist Relief and Development Fund Project in Mali

With only 1,000 doctors and 600 midwives in a country of over 13 million people, 2 in every 10 children dies before their 5th birthday. Working with a local partner, MRDF trains local people in healthcare and midwifery skills and promotes health education.

If anyone has any ideas of fund raising events for this project or want to volunteer to co--ordinate an event can you please let either Neville or the stewards know your ideas / plans so that we can co-ordinate dates etc.

Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child

Each November we pack shoe boxes full of gifts and goodies, for distribution by the charity to orphans and vulnerable children living in often difficult circumstances overseas.

Nigerian Health Care project

This is a project organised by the Wesley Guild nationally, to boost healthcare in Nigeria. Members have been saving and donating their 5p pieces to this for several years now. Full details on the Nigerian Health Care project website.

Other charities supported:

We make occasional donations to the following:

Carecent, a local homeless charity, providing breakfasts Monday to Saturday in York town centre.
Christian Aid
Methodist Fund for World Mission
Methodist Homes for the Aged
NCH children's charity
Smile International

Church members are also involved in raising funds for Actionaid, the Candlelighters Trust and Tearfund, and some invest money in Shared Interest.

Many members are concerned about trade justice, and we have Traidcraft stalls at some of our coffee mornings.
