HIPZ Charity
January 2023 – The GBCT donates to the HIPZ charity
Zanzibar has the worst rates of malnutrition in Tanzania and the people working and volunteering for HIPZ change that. HIPZ sent an appeal to the GBCT saying “It is impossible to look at the facts around malnutrition in Zanzibar and not feel moved to act. Too many babies are born too small, too many infants have no access to nutritious food and too many pregnant women don’t have access to the supplements they need to ensure a safe pregnancy, The problems are stark, wide-ranging and they are impacting the future health and well-being of the whole population of Zanzibar. None of these problems are insurmountable. Zanzibar wants to tackle these problems and together with the Ministry of Health, we have developed a plan that will make a significant impact. We’d love you to be part of the solution. Read on to find out what we plan to do, and how you can help.”

David Fuller Runs for Angolan Missionary
December 2022 – The GBCT has sponsored David Fuller who is raising money for a missionary in Angola. David met Eduardo when he visited Angola many years ago and has remained friends ever since. Eduardo and his family became homeless and so David decided to raise some money to help Eduardo build a new home. David is aiming to complete a 10km run having recovered from having one of his legs amputated following a car accident about a year ago. Here is a photo of Eduardo and his boys building their new house.
Archdiocese of Durban
August 2022 – The GBCT sent a small grant to the Archdiocese of Durban to help the priests, nuns, and laity in their mission to evangelize, help the hungry, and provide health care and education.
The Little Sisters of The Poor
November 2022 – The Little Sisters of the Poor are a group of Catholic Nuns who are devoted to caring for elderly people. In the Little Sister’s homes, no one dies alone. The elderly that are dying are cared for with love and dignity regardless of wealth or status as if they were Christ himself until God calls them home.
The trust responded to a direct appeal from the Nuns as the Trustees have received great testimonials of the care provided, having received testimonials from residents known to the Trustees. Here is a copy of the thank you card received from the Nuns.
Mary’s Meal

St Mary of Glastonbury

The floor in the catholic church of St Mary of Glastonbury is in need of essential repairs and so an appeal was launched in 2021.
