St James Dalby - Church & Community - supporting charities
In 2022 we gave over £6000 to both local charities working on the Island as well as supporting aid over seas.
Our Charities for 2023
Through the fundraising work of the Friends and the Church we give to 2 Manx charities each year
a local charity operating on the Island and a Manx charity operating overseas .
This year we are supporting :
Arlo’s Adventure, supporting Manx families in hospital in England as well as those who have lost a child.
And the Manx charity Hands of Hope operating in Romania and working directly with refugees from Ukraine and those affected by the Russian Invasion.
We donate 10% of all our funds raised through events to support their work .
the rest goes to our Church Restoration Fund.

Toilet twinning : Our church loo as well as our Hub loo have been twinned with an enclosed loo for a community in Ethiopia. We now have framed certificates in our loos along with an information poster on the hygiene benefits of better sanitation and clean water.
Christmas Stamps: We also act as a collecting point for the humble postage stamp throughout the year with a special promotion at Christmas to go to the all island collection for the Leprosy Mission coordinated through the One World Centre.
