At St Peter's we support charitable, relief, and educational work in the UK and abroad

We have strong links with Christians in Northern Uganda an area that has suffered the effects of war and rebel activity for many years. We receive regular news from our friends there, we welcome visitors, and encourage parishioners to travel to Uganda themselves.

Recently, Bishop Nelson Onono-Onweng of N Uganda visited England with his wife Brenda and chaplain Rev Willy Akena. They stayed in Henleaze for a while and Willy gave a moving presentation about life in Gulu. After enduring 20 years of war, peace now seems a real possibility and they are able to look forward to the massive task of re-building their lives. Many families are homeless and a whole generation of young people has missed out on education and skill development. They need our prayers and support.

If you missed Willy's presentation you can view it here...

We also support mission work overseas through CMS and USPG, have ongoing connections with a range of UK based charities - notably Christian Aid and The Children's Society, and locally in Bristol we support the work of the Community of the Sisters of the Church, based in Ashley Road, St Paul's.
