Gift Day 2024 was again a great success with gifts of over £60K received, exceeding totals in recent years. This was distributed to 23 mission and charity partners both in the UK and overseas. Rev’d Justin Groves delivered a challenging message at the Gift Day launch and later in September various mission partners attended Sunnyside in person or via video clips at a carousel event. This event together with regular mission slots through the year, monthly prayer focussing on two partners and the regular updates at the Monday prayer meetings has helped strengthen the relationships with these partners. Millie Harrison visited one of the UK partners, Justin and Lucy Groves in Newport, and using money from a ‘go grant’ (now available for visits to our Gift Day UK (GDUK) partners as well as to those working overseas) was able to support them in various community projects. Millie was also able to join them in December in their Bags for Hope.
