St Mary's - Charity Support
Giving our time and money to support charities is an essential part of Christian life. As a church we support four main charities, along with raising funds and supporting other requests during the year. We encourage links with our main charities and pray for them regularly. These charities are:
We offer a home and work for 31 people who have experienced homelessness, providing the support and stability they need to move on with their lives. Our first shop was established 20 years ago and our community got going over 10 years ago.
Emmaus Gloucestershire has five charity shops - two in Nailsworth, one in Stroud, one in Cheltenham, and a Superstore in Gloucester.
We collect and sell donated goods, using the funds generated to sustain our community and other charitable work for those in greater need than ourselves

We are a community of people who have been set free to follow God’s call in mission. Thousands of people from all walks of life are part of Church Mission Society – praying, learning and acting together in pursuit of that call.

We support Nicci Maxwell who is currently in Uganda
Kisoro is a very poor area, struggling with the challenges of AIDS, malaria and refugees from DR Congo and Rwanda.
Founded in 2012, Potter’s Village is a small medical centre that rescues and looks after babies and children who have no other chance of survival.
I will be providing medical care to newborns and older children both in the ward and as outpatients.
I also hope to support local midwifery staff in their care for bereaved parents and oversee the training of healthcare workers in order to improve medical care for babies and children across the whole district.
