4Charities
Operating under the Charitable status of the Church of England
Previously known as the Brede and Udimore Overseas Group we operate on behalf of the four churches in the parish with the aim of raising money for charitable purposes.
The group was founded over 60 years ago by Iris Laker of Udimore who, during a visit to Tanzania, was horrified to see so many deaf children as a result of the high incidence of measles.
On her return home she held coffee mornings to raise money for the Deaf in Tanzania and this was how the first charity was chosen.
The Rector at that time had worked in Papua New Guinea and so PNGCP became the second charity.
These charities have been supported ever since.
The other two charities have changed from time to time and are currently Freedom from Fistula and Family Suport Work (which is a local Sussex charity).
More information about all the charities can be seen on the Charities page
