Community Action
Helping those in Need:
In the Benefice we are strongly connected to many charities, both Local, National and International. There are three that we are particularly linked to within the Benefice:
- The Besom Project: providing a bridge in Witney between those who want to give and those in need
- Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust (HART) is a small organisation whose CEO worships with us, supporting local partners in 8 countries with no international attention nor outside help
- Open Doors is an international charity based in Witney which serves persecuted Christians around the world
