Neil Bridle, Churchwarden at Christ Church Truro, is a Trustee of Mercy Rescue Trust and is also its Treasurer. Please feel free to talk to Neil if you would like to know more about their work.
Foodbank Truro
Truro Foodbank was originally founded by church members at St Kea and several members of Kea are still deeply involved in its management. Since those early days, St Kea has joined with others to support this important work. Today, Truro Foodbank is helping more people than ever at moments of real need. Foodbanks work to combat hidden hunger across the UK.
Compassion UK
Compassion UK has as its aim: “Releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name”. As a result of falling behind with the disbursement of Gospel Partnership giving, we found ourselves with the ability to gift a lump sum to a Compassion project based at St Paul’s Cathedral in Embu in Kenya. This project focuses on supporting 15 mothers and their babies through the first year of the babies’ lives, with help and advice on topics as varied as feeding and nutrition and income generation through the creation of small businesses. Maintaining this project is costly and we have only been able to commit to one year’s support at this stage, through June 2022, but exploratory discussions are taking place about extending support through a wider network of local churches.
In addition, the Sunday Club at All Hallows provide financial support through a small monthly donation to sponsor a lad called Steve in Peru.
Tearfund
Many will be familiar with the work of Tearfund as it operates in more than 50 countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America providing humanitarian response to disasters and conflicts, community development in association with local churches, and advocacy in influencing.
Barnabas Fund
Sadly, there are many countries where Christians are persecuted for their faith, whether by governments or by local populations, often by both. Barnabas Fund works to provide hope and aid for the persecuted Church, from Christians, to Christians, through Christians.
