From our financial giving this year:

The Fawsett Trust   

An ancient parish charity for the relief of parishioners in challenged circumstances; this support has been funded principally through the kind generosity of members of the community, the Village Show and the Church. Further occasional and significant support has been given by our local Parish Council and Community Board and others. The Trust has some investments and associated income which are held to try to ensure the continuation of this work.

This relief has been given by the issue of vouchers which our village shops kindly accept in exchange for goods, being reimbursed later..

Transform Trade 

A charity set up to support farmers and businesses in the developing world and to promote their produce for sale here in the UK. Find the latest newsletter, and a price list.
Thanks to the strong dedication of Margaret Dykes for championing this wonderful program. Margaret tirelessly provides a monthly Fairtrade table of goodies in church, allowing us to easily support the program too. 

Street Kids Direct   

Street Kids Direct works with children in Guatemala, Honduras and ' at-risk' children in the U.K, who have been forced through poverty, physical and/or sexual abuse to live on the violent streets, where the average time of survival is 4 years.  One hundred percent (100%) of all donations go directly to the charity because there are no offices, salaried staff or overheads, just inspirational volunteers providing support, education, food and preparation for work to these children. 

Other Charities

In addition, the church actively supports several other charities at certain times of the year. Charities such as:

The Chiltern Food Bank
The All Together Community
Age UK Gerrards Cross
Arocha UK
Mission to Seafarers
Christian Aid
The Children's Society

Our highly successful Lent Lunches (Pop Up Soup Café) raise money during Lent to support both the Reading Room and other local charities.
