Each year, we donate collections taken on the first Sunday of the month to a range of charitable causes selected by the parochial church council.
For the months of January, February, April, June, July and August, we shall support the work of international humanitarian charity Medecins Sans Frontieres, the international medical agency often seen at work in areas of conflict. In March, during Lent, we shall as usual support The Bishop of London’s Lent Appeal. In May we will be supporting Christian Aid Week.
In September we support The Leprosy Mission to coincide with our Patronal Festival and in October, during the harvest season, we support Euston Foodbank. The last two charities of the year will be new departures for us. In November our giving will be for War Child, the only specialist charity for children
affected by conflict.
Finally, at various services in Advent and Christmas, we have chosen to share our giving between two charities with which St Giles has close links: Showerbox and Street Storage. Our congregations have been very supportive in the past and encourage to support these initiatives during 2025.
