Christmas Offering

This December, we're raising money for three charities in our Christmas offering so we can support causes close to our hearts... 

Locally we are partnering with InHope, an organisation that helps people overcome the insecurities of homelessness, hunger, addiction and poor mental health. 

In the Middle East, we are supporting TearFund's Emergency Appeal as they help local churches provide vital aid to those impacted by the humanitarian crisis in both Gaza and Israel.

Globally we want to help International Justice Mission as they seek to protect people in poverty from violence.

Thank you for your generosity and partnering with Woodlands this Christmas to give to organisations that are well placed to help those in need.
