Commitment for Life is the United Reformed Church’s global justice programme. 75% of the funding raised goes to Christian Aid to support the most vulnerable people build a more secure life for their communities in Zimbabwe, Israel and the Palestinian Territories and Bangladesh. 5% helps Global Justice Now advocate for economic and climate justice. The other 20% covers education, grants, advocacy and administration. Supporting Commitment for Life is part of our commitment as an Eco-Church and as a United Reformed Church.
