Christian Aid Appeal 2023

Colyford – Donations for Refugees

Foodbank 7th May

Thank you for your continued support for Seaton foodbank. This is this week’s urgent needs:

Christian Aid 2020

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 –

  1. Sending a cheque to Crispin Denny, CA Treasurer, 1A Burnards Field Road, Colyton EX24 6PE.   Cheques should be made out to – ‘Christian Aid Colyton & District Committee’.
  2. By bank transfer to Christian Aid Colyton & District Committee, Lloyds Bank, Seaton.   Sort code 30-90-37.   Account No 00982768.  
  3. Direct to Christian Aid UK via the CA website at www.christianaid.org.uk

Many thanks to everyone for your support.

The garden was started in 1947 and has been developed ever since. Trees and shrubs are well established – some of them rare and unusual.  The garden has never been professionally designed. It has grown and changed  to suit the owners’ tastes.  It aims to provide colour and interest all the year. There will be Teas on the Terrace and plants for sale.  This is a glorious, five acre garden in a wooded valley complete with stream.   Due to its steep paths and steps, wheelchair access is limited to the terrace from which there are fine views of much of the garden Entry £5 – under 14s Free.   Dogs on leads welcome.
