Partnership: Christian Aid

Friday 13th May 2022

For over 60 years, Christian Aid has held a fundraising week in May. This year we wanted to share more about Christian Aid and the work we do with them.

Christian Aid works with communities around the world to fight injustice, respond to humanitarian emergencies, campaign for change and support people to claim the services and rights they are entitled to. 

The Boys’ Brigade has been working together with Christian Aid for a number of years. 

We joined with Christian Aid to create a themed programme about inequalities and injustices in the world. This programme features activities in our Get Involved, Get Active, Get Into the Bible and Get Learning Activity Areas, allowing children and young people to learn more about our world and the work Christian Aid does to help create equality and fairness for everyone. We believe it is important to teach our members about the barriers people may face in their lives, as well as how we can help those in need. Find our Christian Aid Themed Programme card here.

Christian Aid is also returning to our Cumbrae Camp this year where they will be hosting their ‘safe place’, which highlights the challenges that millions of people go through when fleeing conflict or disaster.

We have also worked with Christian Aid on highlighting climate change with groups learning about how they can get involved. Find out more at: boys-brigade.org.uk/gazette/tackling-climate-change
