Christian Community Ministries have launched their new appeal to help raise funds for new church buildings in India. Working with The Recycling Factory we are hoping to raise sufficient funds to build a new church and pastor's home in Andrah Pradesh. It's a very simple way to help CCM and it won't cost you a penny! |

We know just as well as everyone else that things are getting a bit tricky, financially speaking at the moment. Fuel for the cars, energy for the home, food for the table... The list goes on and the price goes up and up. Through all of this, the needs of the people we support do not change. They still need a meal on their table, heat in their homes and clothes on their backs. With most UK charities struggling for financial support in the present economic climate, we wanted to find a way in which everyone can support the work of CCM, without it costing you any of your hard-earned wages.
The principle is very simple. You donate any old ink cartridges from your printer and we send them to be recycled. The Recycling Factory pay us for every cartridge recycled and together we can finance that church and home in India. The amount they pay depends on the cartridge but the more we can collect, the more churches and homes we can build. For a full list of the cartridges that can be recycled, follow the link on the right.

Mobile Phones
We can also take any of your old mobile phones - no matter what the condition. Have a look in the back of cupboards and drawers; there are bound to be some there! Depending on the condition of the mobile phone it will either be refurbished and sold on or it will be broken down for the individual components that will be recycled or used in other industries. It really makes no difference what condition your phone is in, it will be converted into pennies or pounds for CCM which we will convert into bricks and mortar for the church-goers of India.
Spread the Word
Now you know what we are looking for, and for what purpose we are looking for them, please spread the word. Encourage friends, family, colleagues even your work place to donate their ink cartridges to CCM. If your business, church, school or organisation is within the mid-Cheshire area, we can provide you with collection bins and will collect the contents once they are full. If you are outside this area, please contact the office to make arrangements for postage/collection. |
