Commenting on the total raised by his appeal in 2017, Rt Rev Julian Henderson, Bishop of Blackburn said today: “The continued level of giving to the Bishop’s Harvest Appeal is something for which we should all give thanksgiving to God. I want to extend warm and grateful thanks to all from our parishes and schools who contributed.
“My 2018 Appeal will begin shortly and we will announce the beneficiaries soon. In the meantime, I would like to encourage as many churches and schools as possible to get ready to be involved this year so together we can make a difference to the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves.”
