  The committee tries to make itself aware of such areas and takes suggestions to the DCC for consideration including charities to be supported particularly at Christmas, Lent and Harvest. From time to time displays of relevant material are mounted in church to promote awareness of such charities and current issues needing support.

   
 
Care and Share Lunch
   
  The committee comissions articles in the Parish Magazine to promote awareness of wider issues of concern including: The Suffering Church, Trade Justice, Water Aid, Support for Local Farmers and Alzheimers.
   
  A recent issue has been that of fairtrading and Fairtrade goods are available for sale in Church and at the Tuesday Coffee Morning in the Colles Hall.

The Care and Share Lunch was initiated several years ago and is now an established event. Once a month many people who otherwise may be eating their Sunday lunch alone join for food and fellowship. These lunches are open to anyone who cares to come along. Regular members comment how much they look forward to these times together.
