This year we are giving 50% of the money we collect at the communion service away in five different directions. This reflects our four campaigning concerns — climate change, migration, UK poverty and Israel/ Palestine — plus the theme of this year’s service, Christmas justice.
CHRISTMAS JUSTICE: LEMN SISSAY’S CHRISTMAS DINNERS
MIGRATION & REFUGEES: REFUGEES AT HOME
CLIMATE CHANGE: CLIENTEARTH
ISRAEL / PALESTINE: TENT OF NATIONS
UK POVERTY & DIVISION: THE EQUALITY TRUST
