St Leonard’s Contact Worldwide supports the Church overseas by:
• raising awareness
• making contact
• sharing resources
There were three highlights in 2011.
The caring and sharing appeal in Lent raised a total (with gift aid) of £1,950.00 for Habitat for Humanity. This was more than enough to build one house in Haiti.
At Harvest a total (with gift aid) of £1,888.99 was sent to FACE (Friends of the Anglican Church in Ethiopia) to pay for six water tanks and four fishing nets in the Gambella region.
In October we welcomed Wies Landheer who is to be our mission partner when she goes to work for the Church Mission Society in Rwanda. She was interviewed at a service and also spoke afterwards, when she was able to meet many members of St Leonard's.
In addition the PCC made its annual donations from regular giving to the church to:
- Church Mission Society (CMS) £2,357.00
- USPG (Anglicans in World Mission) £2,357.00
- Missionary Aviation Fellowship £250.00
