Charities
Charity and charitable giving are essential parts of any Christian community's life and mission, and, in the Parish of Llwynderw, we work to support a number of local, national, and international good causes. Approximately 10% of our typical annual expenditure is allocated to this area, which does not include the money raised from a variety of special fund-raising events and collections that are held regularly throughout each year.
