AROUND 40 determined walkers from churches in Porthcawl are putting their best feet forward as part of Christian Aid Week 2024 .
The’ Holy Hike’, or ‘Pererindod Porthcawl’, has been organised by Churches Together in Porthcawl (CTiP) and covers six miles, from Newton to Nottage, in aid of the annual fundraising appeal.
Leaders, David Robinson, Jean Humphreys and Mark Worrall, explained the route starts at St David’s Church in Nottage, and stops off at nine more around Porthcawl as well as one charity – Tools for Self Reliance – which renovates tools for training projects in Africa.
“We are holding this sponsored walk, on Saturday, 18th May, because it’s a unique opportunity for us to come together as churches of different denominations and to work together for such a good cause.”
This year’s Christian Aid Week appeal – from May 12th to 18th – is focussing on work in Burundi, one of the most densely populated and poorest countries in Africa. Heavily reliant on agriculture, it’s also one of the least prepared to combat the effects of climate change, including droughts, floods and landslides. To find out more, visit Christian Aid.
