Through the generosity of the people of Bradford on Avon and its surrounding villages, a massive £8,070.56 has been raised during Christian Aid Week in support of Christian Aid projects around the world. The focus this year was on rebuilding the lives of people struggling in countries devastated by war, hurricanes and other natural disasters.

The wonderful total of £8,070.56 will help very many people to get back on their feet and the local Christian Aid group wants to say a big thank you to everybody who gave money and precious time to make this possible.
