Who are our supporters?
Every Christian Aid Week, supporters across the island of 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.
Turning pages into action
At Kinnoull Parish Church in Perth, Scotland, Christian Aid supporters showed how a simple idea can spark big change.
For the second-year running, their Christian Aid Week book sale brought the community together. Turning donated books into vital funds that will give families facing poverty the tools, training, and hope for a brighter future.

Soup with a purpose

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.
