OVERSEAS PROJECTS Each year Christ Church supports various projects and charities overseas. A project or charity is supported for four years, with the fourth year considered a phase-out year in order that the charity has time to replace the funding for future years. We currently support a palliative care project for children in China, a community hospital in Uganda, a charity in Nepal which supports the healing of women who have been rescued from sexual slavery, the Anglican hospital in Gaza, an environmental education project in the Marshall Islands, a school in Tamil Nadu, South India, a creation care project in Uganda, and an education project in South Sudan.
'We currently support the work of Survivors of Human Trafficking in Scotland (SOHTIS), and the Ferrywell Youth Project'; and on an ongoing basis we also support St Catharine's Convent of Mercy (homelessness), Fresh Start (homelessness), and the Eric Liddell Community dementia services.
Is it likely that the project would get funding from elsewhere (we are particularly interested in small organisations)?
What is the future plan for the project, and is it sustainable?
Does the project fit the geographical and thematic range of our activities (we try to support projects in different parts of the world, and working in different areas e.g. health, education, social development, church growth)?
We ask all projects which we support to complete an annual feedback report with details of how the project is going and how the money from Christ Church has been spent.
The committee’s expectation is that nominating a project for Christ Church to support indicates a willingness to serve as our link person with that project, including obtaining the annual feedback report from the project.
