The parish is committed to support charities and agencies engaged in social action locally and throughout UK and in wider mission around the world. We aim to encourage parishioners to engage more deeply with our partners, through informed prayer, and, where achievable, through active involvement.
We have champions for each charity, who liaise to bring regular news and to arrange visits by charity representatives. We have a Mission of the Month calendar to assist our champions to arrange these visits and also events such as conferences.

A Rocha
Our donation of £750.00 to A Rocha will help restore declining habitats and reconnect people with nature as we care for God’s creation together.
Wild Christian and Eco Church communities are growing rapidly as more Christians than ever recognise creation care as an integral part of Christian mission.
The A Rocha network of conservation Partners in Action is also expanding with partners caring for species on their land that are in decline through the Target 25 project. The newly formed Moth Recording Group at the Steyning Downland Scheme has already found an astonishing 85 species of moth and 39 species of butterfly and, last summer, the four-acre wildflower meadow at Blacknest Forest School was teeming with an estimated 500,000 grasshoppers.
Care for the Family
Recent tragic events in our country have underlined the importance of good parenting and the tragic impact on children when they do not have firm family foundations on which to take a stand. Please do make this a matter of prayer for our Mission of the Month partner for September, Care for the Family. You will find information on their wonderful work, and the resources that they offer on their web-site, using this link: https://www.careforthefamily.org.uk/support-for-you/family-life/parent-support/
