You can help us keep our doors open…



Covid-19 Emergency Appeal: please respond today…

Dear Friend

Given the current crisis, we’ve had no choice but to close our doors for the first time in the long history of St Martin-in-the-Fields.

Although our buildings have fallen silent, our vital work in the community must still continue – now, more than ever. That’s why today, we’re launching our St Martin-in-the-Fields Covid-19 Emergency Appeal to visitors and supporters like you.

DONATE NOW

You’ll know how important it is that we’re able to provide people who are homeless – or vulnerably housed – with shelter, food and advice when they need it most.

During this time, we are working incredibly hard to ensure that people continue to receive the support they need. We are helping people who were sleeping rough into accommodation to enable them to self-isolate, and are delivering food and other essentials. Your extra support at this time could provide frontline workers with the supplies they need to continue their work in spite of the unfolding challenges of this crisis.

Please, take a second to send your urgent gift today. I can assure you; your generosity will make a real difference to people’s lives at this incredibly frightening time.

I hope you and your loved ones are safe and well. Thank you so much for your continued support.

Revd Dr Sam Wells
Vicar - St Martin-in-the-Fields

Breaking Down the Barriers

This Sunday at the 10.00am service at St John's Seven Kings we will be hearing from Rosie Venner, Christian Aid's Regional Coordinator, about the Breaking Down the Barriers: Working for Peace in a Holy Land initiative.

This is because we plan to take part in Christian Aid's Middle East Partnership Scheme which will directly benefit 30,000 people in Lebanon and the West Bank and its wider impact will improve the prospects for many thousands more.


Christian Aid has recently launched an emergency appeal to help partners in Gaza and across the Middle East respond to the political instability and violence affecting the region. You can give online via www.christianaid.org.uk, by calling 08080 004 004 or by sending a cheque made payable to Christian Aid to: Christian Aid, Freepost, London, SE1 7YY.

There is also a prayer which you may wish to use over the coming weeks: http://www.christianaid.org.uk/emergencies/current/gaza-middle-east-crisis-appeal/prayers.aspx.
