80 years of Christian Aid

That this House notes 80 years of Christian Aid, celebrating eight decades of generosity, prayer and humanitarian response; highlights that the event was marked with a service of thanksgiving at St Annes Church of Ireland Cathedral; underlines the fantastic work undertaken to create a world free of poverty, noting currently 16,000 children under five in poorer countries die daily from preventable causes; further notes the work in helping people claim their rights and access services such as healthcare and education, become more resilient to shocks and disasters such as drought, and ensure they have the means to fight against discrimination; and thanks Christian Aid for all that they do and wishes them all the very best for the future.
