Partnerships, Charities & Links
St Margaret's works alongside a number of charities, near and far, throughout the year. There are many ways in which you can help, by donating food items, giving your time and skills or donating financially through special collections throughout the year.
We are currently looking to establish new links and projects through an in-house outreach programme. Find out more at our dedicated page.
If you would like to find out more about some of our existing partnerships follow the links below.

Christian aid
Christian Aid is a Christian organisation that insists the world can and must be swiftly changed to one where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty.
We work globally for profound change that eradicates the causes of poverty, striving to achieve equality, dignity and freedom for all, regardless of faith or nationality. We are part of a wider movement for social justice.
We provide urgent, practical and effective assistance where need is great, tackling the effects of poverty as well as its root causes.
