The Christian Aid Week house-to-house collection in May raised a total of £2,805.62 in Bloxham, Milcombe and South Newington. This was the highest amount in recent years, and probably the best ever.

Bloxham raised £2,242.25, Milcombe contributed £360.05, and South Newington broke the £200 barrier for the first time with £203.32. Thank you very much to all those who gave, collected, counted, prayed and worked. More than 170 people gift-aided their donation; they will have given about £475 in addition to this. Best wishes and many thanks from the Christian Aid team.
