Get involved locally
Make a difference to people living in poverty, find local opportunities and meet people in your community.
Our new Central Supporter Engagement Team is now in place and can help you with any queries your church or group might have about supporting Christian Aid. You can contact the team on [email protected], by calling 029 2084 4646 or by writing to the national office in Cardiff.
Please note our offices in Bangor and Carmarthen have now closed. All staff are currently working from home in the pandemic, with post being picked up from the national office once a week.
What we do
- We support local Christian Aid committees – particularly in the run-up to their biggest annual fundraising efforts in Christian Aid Week each May.
- We preach or speak about Christian Aid’s work to groups, in schools and in churches.
- We recruit and support volunteers including campaigners and Christian Aid teachers.
- We organise events and host visitors to Wales from our overseas partner organisations.
Our Welsh identity
We strive to ensure a Welsh identity and a rootedness in Wales. This is reflected in the fact that we work, as far as possible, as a bilingual organisation.
We offer a wide range of worship, educational and campaigning resources in both Welsh and English.
Welsh funding and policy
We engage with the National Assembly for Wales - a devolved administration with a wide range of executive responsibilities for implementing domestic policy in Wales - through the Wales Overseas Agencies Group (WOAG) and the All Party Group on International Development (APGID).
The Government of Wales Act 2006 has given the assembly new powers and opened up the possibility of Welsh funding for international work to tackle poverty. The assembly is also formulating its own policy to address climate change issues in Wales.
