Role description: Christian Aid Coordinator for Stone, Bishopstone and Hartwell
Please contact Richard Smith for more information or if you would be interested in this role: Richard.Smith@stonedintonhartwell.com
We are seeking someone to be a link person for Christian Aid for Stone, Bishopstone and Hartwell. Sue Spinks, who has held this responsibility for many years, has recently retired.
Christian Aid is a global charity whose aim is to eliminate poverty, particularly where this has come about through natural disaster.
There are many ways in which churches can work with, and support Christian Aid, but this is most often done by raising funds and raising awareness of the work of the charity, particularly during Christian Aid week (10-16 May 2026), and around Harvest and Christmas.
The traditional fundraising method of door-to-door collections is becoming less popular and less effective as fewer people carry cash these days, although envelopes now carry QR codes for those who wish to donate on-line.
Christian Aid has many resources including posters, leaflets, video presentations, special orders of service and other fundraising materials which can be ordered or downloaded free of charge. It is also possible to book speakers to give live presentations at local events.
The main responsibilities of our local Christian Aid coordinator will be to work with the SJB committee by:
- Contributing ideas for local events to raise funds for Christian Aid and helping to coordinate these events.
- Obtaining promotional materials from Christian Aid (usually available to order from late February)
- Keeping in touch with other local Christian Aid coordinators.
To find out more, you are welcome to contact David Blackmore, who is a very experienced Christian Aid coordinator based in Weston Turville (davidbblackmore@gmail.com)
