Who are our supporters?

Every Christian Aid Week, supporters across Britain and Ireland choose action— standing with our global neighbours against poverty and injustice.

Our supporters include churches and volunteers who organise, inspire and speak out. Communities gathered around tables, sharing food, laughter and purpose. First-time fundraisers discovering the power of collective action. And long-term givers who keep showing up because they know poverty is not inevitable.

In countless ways, our supporters take action, united by one belief: everyone deserves dignity and hope.

Together, we fight hunger and help create lasting change for vulnerable communities around the world.

More than just a bike ride

In Chandler’s Ford, the streets filled with bikes, colour and community spirit as families, friends and neighbours came together for a joyful cycle ride in support of Christian Aid Week.

Now a much-loved community tradition, the ride brings people showing how a simple local event can turn into a powerful show of generosity and togetherness.

Soup with a purpose

Godfrey Meynell walking challenge for Christian Aid Week

1,000 miles for change

Godfrey Meynell, now 90, walked the equivalent of 1,000 miles to raise funds for Christian Aid – showing how dedicated our supporters can be. 

Motivated by compassion for parents watching their children grow up without enough to eat, he used his grit and generosity to raise money for Christian Aid Week.

His fundraising has funded transformative projects in Burundi, helping people fight poverty with training and support. 

Sweet smell of hope

During Christian Aid Week, Sue Baxter from Uttoxeter Christian Aid Group and Uttoxeter Methodist Church turned cakes into change.

What began in the pandemic as a simple cake sale over her garden wall gave neighbours a reason to pause, connect and give.

With the support of local churches, her delicious home-baked treats raised important funds for Christian Aid, showing community spirit in Uttoxeter can change lives far beyond.
