Fundraising - Christmas 2011 we are raising money for the Motor Neuron Disease Association. We raised over one thousand pounds.
We have various causes that we support on a regular basis and also give to disaster and emergencies as and when they occur through MRDF Methodist Relief and Development Fund.

As members of CTB (Churches Together in Bingham) we are involved in Christian Aid week and also find projects of a more individual nature to support in the third world. Also as part of CTB we choose a project to support. The current project is Nepal in Need Through Christian Churches.
