When two busy working mums decide in a moment of madness to sign up to the Manchester Half Marathon, for which we really don't have time to train properly, we eventually came to the realisation we'd best try and make each step of the way count.

At the same time, St Mark's was launching an appeal to extend the provision of sight-saving, and therefore life-changing, eye surgery in Rwanda. We wanted to help.

Kabgayi Eye Hospital is the only specialist hospital providing retinal eye surgery to the 13 million people of Rwanda and has only one permanent eye surgeon. St Mark’s is fundraising to double this provision and extend the work of a second specialist eye surgeon.

In one year, this would save the eyesight of 500 people otherwise at high risk of going blind. That's roughly ten more people each week who have the chance to work, watch TV, play sport, run or watch their children grow up - all things we take for granted.

Even if we can do this for one person, we'll have made a difference, so any few pounds you can spare really will have an impact.

Please do what you can and help us make that difference.

Thank you to Platts Solicitors in Oldham for their donation for food items to support our Thursday night Shared Meal service.

Donations like these allow us to provide a bag of food to those in need who attend our meal at Werneth Grange.

If you would like to have a collection for our service, please contact us and we can provide a poster for your work place or shop.

St Mark is fundraising to increase its medications fund by 25% to enable it to continue providing vital treatment for those with chronic diseases.
Without this, the impact of rampant inflation means that the charity would not be able to continue providing the same level of medication support for all the families it currently supports in deprived parts of Egypt.

Thanks to Father Michael Lambros and Ehab Roufail from London, on their visit to Werneth Grange today. Our youth and congregation had the blessing of attending the Holy Liturgy followed by a series of lectures, as part of the apologetics day event, where topics related to the existence of God and science were covered. Link of the talks can be accessed on YouTube (link in bio).
