Mission/Outreach Work
Christian Aid
Banchory East Church works with the other churches in Banchory to support Christian Aid throughout the year. As well as supporting schemes of development in poor countries and campaigns for fairer trading and the cutting of carbon footprints, Christian Aid is presently sending much needed supplies to Haiti. For more details see the CA website: www.christianaid.org.uk
Kandy Project
We have sponsored the Church of Scotland World Mission Project with the Presbyterian Church (Scots Kirk) in Kandy, Sri Lanka since 2005. The East Church has partnered with the Scots Kirk’s Community Based Rehabilitation project operated by the Women’s Development Centre in Kandy. This is an established project helping the disabled and disadvantaged from all ethnic and religious communities as well as other social programmes like building and providing accommodation for families.
Nansato Nursery Project
Banchory East Church supports the fundraising efforts of Paula Glegg who has been involved with building and staffing four new nurseries in Southern Malawi. More detail on the website: http://www.nansato.org
