Our financial Giving in 2025 will support three projects –
1) CAFÉ- STRICH- PUNKT
This association seeks to support young people in particular difficulties, often in very practical ways. This requires funding and also those able and willing to do voluntary work. The support can be online or in real time. The need can be as immediate as being homeless, or as long term as relationship-based support e.g. bridge building back into families. There is street work and consultation, drop-in and medical help and advice, plus more than can be listed. This is very local work that, we as good neighbours, have supported for a long time along with 3 of our ecumenical partners.

2) the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza
Chosen this year as the recipient of our Diocesan Bishop’s Advent Appeal, we look to support the work of USPG, whose partnership with the Diocese of Jerusalem gives us the opportunity to sustain this vital hospital, ensuring that it remains open and equipped to serve those who need it most, not only in moments of immediate crisis but in the long, difficult years of recovery that follow.
3) Mindanao Bishops’ Conference
Mindanao Bishops’ Conference Programme for Indigenous Peoples in the Philippines https://ucp.gn.apc.org/sites/default/files/res/documents/2024-12/RS825_CPCS-Learning-Paper-IFI-Lumad-Accompaniment.pdf
