Christian Aid Week 2020 Coronavirus Appeal Like most things in these strange times, Christian Aid (CA) Week will not be having a door to door collection but we are suggesting other ways that donations can be given. The proceeds for 2020 will be used to protect poor countries in the world that are affected by the Coronavirus. Last year we raised £2,227 locally during CA Week. To raise some money this year I am going to accept the CA challenge of taking 200,000 steps in the month of May. I will be walking in my garden and around our local lanes – 200,000 steps is about 100 miles. If you would like to support me by making a donation to Colyton & Colyford Christian Aid that would be wonderful. Donations can made by –
