A Christian Aid Committee for Cranleigh has now been in existence for some years, so as not only to increase financial support for the cause (and this Committee has organised a number of successful fund-raising events), but also to raise awareness of the desperate need of so many families in the Third World.

Hence, this Committee seeks to raise the profile of Christian Aid locally; and it also strives to dispel any misconceptions of the organisation’s role in the various countries it tries to help. Anyone interested in joining the Committee should contact Glenda Sewell (tel 01483 273037).
