Donations to Bishop’s Lent Appeal in support humanitarian

LES AMIS de L’Eglise Anglicane relief in Ukraine

Dear friends,

Sincere thanks to everyone that supported the recent fundraising events and made financial contributions towards our donation to the Bishop’s Lent and Easter appeal, which is dedicated to “provide critical financial resources towards the urgent and immediate needs of people in Ukraine and those who have fled as well as supporting the long-term work of recovery in the country”.

As of the 14th April, this appeal had raised over £250,000. “I am humbled and delighted that our Lent and Easter Appeal for Ukraine has now raised over £250,000,” said Bishop Robert. “This money will continue to be used for immediate disaster relief and is available for chaplaincies working with refugees. In addition, a portion of these funds will be available towards the longer-term project of rebuilding.”

Thanks to your kind generosity, on behalf of St Luke’s, donations totalling 1 570 EUR have made to the appeal:

· 152 € from the St Luke’s lent lunches

· 349 € from the 3 Château Walk (including donations from ‘non-walkers’ !)

· 279 € from the Easter tabletop sale

· 490 € of other financial contributions received

· 300 € from the Amis reserves
