LA SOLIDARITE ANGLICANE DE LILLE

“La Solidarité” is a charitable association set up by Christ Church Lille for outreach. As a religious association, under tax and accounting rules, CCL can’t itself give donations (although it can receive them, of course).

The sum available for donations is the equivalent of 10% of our income for the previous accounting year – the tithe.

Every year the committee asks for proposals and these are discussed at a special grants meeting. Everyone who is on the electoral roll of Christ Church Lille is a member of the association and can make proposals or vote at the Annual General Meeting.

At the AGM on 8 June 2020, there was a full presentation of the association and the organisations supported in 2018. Read or download below (but it’s quite a large file and will take a while to download, thank you for your patience).

The 2021 AGM will take place on 15 March via Zoom – see this page for more information.

And further down, you’ll find a wonderful photo of some of the children we help support at the Beth Abi Orphanage. Thank you for your donations.
