Community Of The Resurrection

The Community of the Resurrection is a religious community based in Mirfield, West Yorkshire. Our members live a corporate life within the Anglican monastic tradition, the heart of which is worship.

Many people from near and far come in a constant stream to Mirfield for spiritual refreshment, experience of monastic life and worship and for Christian education and formation. Sometimes we can hardly cope with the numbers. We find ourselves offering space and resources for women and men who seek encouragement, stillness and space to pray in the midst of stressful lives. At the heart of it all, our church is our place of worship and home for many other events. It is now in need of major refurbishment: structural repairs, a new heating system, rewiring, new lighting and sound systems, a new floor, redecoration and much-needed disabled access. If all our activities here are to flourish, we need a church able to meet the needs of today. We need your help to safeguard what makes this place special and to create a church that can serve and sustain its many users for another century.

The patrons of the Centenary Church Appeal are the Archbishop of Canterbury and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

We also undertake charitable work at home and abroad especially in Zimbabwe and South Africa. In Zimbabwe we support a number of projects including an orphanage where it is aiming to provide a borehole.

Health Poverty Action works with the world's poorest communities - those missing out on mainstream aid. We help mothers give birth safely and their children thrive, prevent the spread of diseases like HIV and malaria and challenge the injustices of poverty and poor health.

It is said that prevention is better than cure. That's why we believe in the power of education to stop health problems happening. Examples include our award-winning radio soaps educating people on issues such as HIV (one of which has become the most popular radio show in East Africa).

Poverty and poor health are inseparable. Our comprehensive approach strengthens health services and addresses underlying causes of poor health such as water, sanitation and nutrition. At the same time we campaign to change the systems that perpetuate poverty. We want to 'cure' the lack of healthcare - not just stick a plaster over the problem.

The Welbodi Partnership

Thank you for visiting our JustGiving site. Our mission is to tackle child mortality in Sierra Leone, where one in five children dies before their fifth birthday, often from the most basic and treatable of conditions. We are working with the government?s only paediatric referral hospital, the Ola During Children?s Hospital in Freetown, and aim to transform it into a centre of excellence and training for paediatric care which can serve as a template for quality care provision, and a training resource for doctors and nurses in Sierra Leone who currently have no opportunity to specialise in paediatrics. Your donation will fund improvements to facilities and the organisation of care, salary supplements for medical staff so that they can afford to work at the hospital without relying on other income streams to support themselves, and training programs for the next generation of paediatric specialists who will be qualified to train future cadres of medical students from all over Sierra Leone at the ODCH.
