Join #TeamRed and every pound or penny you raise will be matched, doubling your contribution to #RedWednesday
ACN are looking for communities and individuals nationwide to take action. Will you help raise awareness and funds for suffering young Christians?
This #RedWednesday please give a gift of HOPE to support vital child and family focused ACN projects in priority countries. All donations and fundraising will be doubled in ACN's matched challenge £500k4HOPE. Be part of #TeamRed a network of people of all ages around the country raising funds and awareness for our brothers and sisters who suffer for their faith. If you care too you can donate or fundraise.
Children and families around the world need our help
For children growing up in war, conflict or the threat of violence, the world is a fearful and dangerous place. In countries where Christians are persecuted, Christian children are collateral damage in the overall brutality – and the numbers run to millions. With your help ACN can provide vital child and family focused projects.

Parishes in Action
We are grateful for the support of our Catholic Bishops, our Parish Priests and the Catholic community to raise awareness for persecuted Christians via ACN’s #RedWednesday. We appreciate you theming your parish red with candles, flowers on the altar, lighting red, robing red and parishioners wearing red. Along with organising a #RedWednesday liturgy for the persecuted Church or taking on a Parish challenge for suffering young Christians.
#RedWednesday resources for your Parish including prayers, liturgies and bulletin information can be found here.
We would also like to invite Parish bookings to our #RedWednesday Holy Mass, on 19th November at 6pm at St George's Cathedral, London where Mass will be celebrated by Rt Rev Bishop Nicholas Hudson, Homily from Canon Victor Darlington, with guest speaker our 'Courage to be Christian' awardee.
