The 2009 St Martin’s Christmas Appeal - our 83rd since 1927 - was launched on BBC Radio 4 on Sunday, 6th December. (If you missed it, you can listen to the Vicar's appeal and Received with Thanks again at www.bbc.co.uk/radio4.)

Many thanks to our partners at BBC Radio 4 for their ongoing support, and to the small army of volunteers who have been answering phones and opening post. Of course, it's too early to say what the final result will be, but the donations we have received so far are encouraging and we have raised nearly £500,000 in the first 10 days. So, a big THANK YOU to all those who have given so generously, and if you haven't supported our work yet, it's not too late.

The money raised by the Christmas Appeal will be divided between The Connection at St Martin's - working with homeless and vulnerable people in central London - and the Vicar's Relief Fund - making small grants to individuals and families in need all over the UK, many threatened by homelessness or with experience of being homeless.

The work of the Christmas Appeal goes on throughout the year. If you would like to support us, click on the link or send a cheque to the address below. If you pay tax, you can Gift Aid your donation to make it worth an extra 28% to us. And if you would like to make a longer-term commitment to supporting the Christmas Appeal, you can download a standing order form by clicking on the link below.
