BMS World Mission has been helping Syrian refugees since 2011, first with immediate relief ‒ food, blankets, medical help ‒ and then, alongside continuing relief needs, with longer term support for refugee families. Today, our workers and partners are trying to make sure that the next generation of displaced Syrians is not lost. Your giving is making educational support, safe learning spaces, relief co-ordination and the love and help of our mission workers coming alongside refugee families on the ground possible. These things matter. They make a difference. And they are made possible by people like you. Praying. Giving. Dedicating your lives to go and serve our Syrian neighbours, our Lebanese neighbours, our Muslim neighbours, and the Christians working to help them.
Christians in Politics will be hosting a series of 'conversations' on the upcoming EU Referendum. These conversations will take place in cathedrals up and down the country, with speakers offering a range of views. These events will be an opportunity to discuss and expand different ideas about the future of the UK in Europe as well as how our faith can and should be impacting our thinking.
When: 31st May, 19:00-20:30 Where: Nave of Winchester Cathedral
Rachel Hadley will be collecting the gifts for Christian Aid week today! Rotations Charity Shop on London Rd is being run in aid of Christian Aid for the next week.

Christian Aid’s work is founded on Christian faith, inspired by hope and acts to change an unjust world through charity – a practical love and care for our neighbours.’
