Fundraising
The Churches in Reading Drop in Centre CIRDIC received a donation of £3,400, which was raised at the eight annual Reading Abbey Rotary club 10k run held at Englefield Estate.
We principally raise funds through running public events rather than directly from our members. We are proud to say that 100% of the funds raised are returned to good causes. We give funds primarily to local causes where our support can make a difference. We also contribute to national and international appeals.
