St Margaret's Church
Overseas
We are committed to supporting mission, not only in Uxbridge, but also in other places in the United Kingdom and overseas. Each year as part of our support, we are committed to giving 10% of our income as a church to varying mission initiatives beyond our parish. 60% of this goes to support the following five core mission organisations:
- Church Pastoral Aid Society (CPAS)
- Church Missionary Society (CMS)
- A Rocha
- The Church in the Congo
- SAMS
but together with the work of the Joy Children's Foundation, supporting Aids-orphaned young people in Uganda. The remaining 40% is allocated to a wide variety of causes nominated by members of the St Margaret's church congregations.
In addition, over the past three years we have had an annual Parish Challenge, enabling people to work together to raise money for a specific cause. It has been great to see adults, children and young people working side by side to enable electricity to be put into a school in Ghana, a meeting hall to be built at the Joy Children's Foundation and a new worker to be provided for the Amos Trust team working with street children in South Africa.
