Christian Aid Bishop Rachel writes in the Gloucester Diocese Bulletin:  “As you and your family members are vaccinated, I would like to encourage you to show your thanksgiving by making a donation to the work of Christian Aid. Whilst the cost of vaccination in the Global South is being met, organisations such as Christian Aid are working with communities where the impact of Covid has added further pain, struggles and challenges to those which already existed, amid poverty, injustice and lack of resources.”
