CHARITIES SUPPORTED BY THIS YEAR’S OLD TOWN BEER & CIDER FESTIVAL
As well as the Old Town Beer and Cider Festival being Christ Church’s biggest fundraiser of the year, which provides essential funds so that we can continue to provide valuable services to the local community, we also like to share the love and support two other local charities every year.
Over the past 12 years we have supported: Ruby’s fat cow fund, Swindon Women’s aid, Christian Aid, Threshold Housing Link, Swindon Food Co-operative, Swindon Sands, Phoenix Enterprise, Swindon Blind Association, Swindon Humanitarian Aid Partnership, the Veterans Charity, Hjalpande Hander, Wiltshire Tree House, Prospect Hospice & The Kelly Foundation.

This year, we are supporting the following two local charities:
Swindon Town Football Club Community Foundation – At the heart of their mission for 2026 is tackling inequalities. They are committed to ensuring that children who currently face financial barriers are not excluded from opportunities to participate in enriching activities such as after-school provision, holiday courses, and community-based programmes.
Sepsis Research – A charity very poignant for us at the moment due to our vicar Revd Canon Simon Stevenette having contracted the illness at the end of last year. Their mission is to save lives and improve outcomes in sepsis patients through world-leading research and awareness raising
