Christian Aid Week
Christian Aid Week (12-18 May) will be urging the British public to “bite back at hunger” and ask why, in a world where there is a enough food for everyone, one in eight people go to bed hungry every night. The theme of Christian Aid week ties in with the organisation’s involvement in the Enough Food For Everyone IF campaign, launched in January. To donate to Christian Aid Week, give online at www.caweek.org call 08080 006 006 or text ‘GIVE’ to 78866 to give £5.
