Our Mission and Outreach charities 2009 - 2010

Move to Improve appeal

The charities chosen  in conjunction with other Methodist churches in the Carlisle Circuit are locally based :-

Cumbria Cerebral Palsy -  which many will associate with the work done at Scalescough Hall, situated between Carlisle and Penrith, providing accommodation and stimulation for those in its care. Residents will shortly be  having to move out of Scalesceugh Hall to new purpose built accommodation  at Lister Court and Parkland Village. Building has already started for the 30 residents and others who come for Day Care.

and

Watchtree Wheelers - the Wheels for All project launched in 2008 is dedicated to developing  a cycle exercise area and cycle track network around the Nature Reserve at Watchtree, particularly for the elderly, disadvantaged and disabled using specially designed cycles.

Methodist  contact  is  William Little  at  Dalston  Church.

The Circuit Charity for 2010-11 is the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital.

The purpose of the hospital is to help the large number of women in Ethiopia who develop an obstetric fistula during childbirth. This may affect the life of the mother, cause her to have a stillborn baby and the resulting damage can cause lifelong misery and humiliation to the woman.  This  condition can only be cured by skilled surgery.

The hospital was built in 1975 and since then has expanded to provide training, to help long stay patients and to provide outreach centres  as travelling is very difficult in the mountainous terrain.
