Celebrate Christingle and Support Children's Projects

CELEBRATE CHRISTINGLE TO HELP BILLINGHAM CHILDREN

Go along to your local Christingle service this year and you can help The Children’s Society fund vital projects for children and young people, including The Children’s Resources Project North East in Billingham.

The Children’s Resources Project works with disabled young people and their families. The work advocates choice for disabled young people, increasing their independence and reducing their feelings of isolation through group work and one to one meetings. Local Christingle services raise money for this project, enabling The Children’s Society to make a real difference to improve the lives of disabled young children in the community.

Last year, thousands of people came to 176 Christingle services across the Diocese of Durham raising more than £26,000. All Saints in Darlington raised the highest amount in the area with a grand total of £1,420. By attending your local candlelit Christingle service this year, you can light up the lives of children and young people in your community and make childhood better.

Christingle services are a fun and engaging way to bring together families, friends and communities to celebrate the Christian story in an inspiring way. Whether you are new to Christingle or one of our regular supporters, these festive events have something for everyone.
