History

  1. In 1983, our founder sent one box to Ghana as a personal charitable gift. A letter of thanks received was the inspiration to do more and others were invited to help. From these humble beginnings Christian African Relief Trust began to grow. It now has its own warehouse site and a thriving charity shop which raises funds to not only cover running costs but also send goods overseas.
    The charity is run entirely by volunteers both in the UK and overseas. A minimum of one 40ft container is sent each month to one of a dozen different destinations in Africa.
    The charity has grown by many people doing a little, giving what they can of their time, efforts and money. Come and join us!
