Fairtrade

Wesley Memorial is a Fairtrade Church. It meets the three goals set out by the Fairtrade Foundation, which are to:

1. Use Fairtrade tea and coffee after services and in all meetings for which the Church has responsibility
2. Encourage the use of other Fairtrade products such as sugar, biscuits and fruit
3. Promote Fairtrade during Fairtrade Fortnight and during the year through events, worship and other activities whenever possible

The Church also runs a Fairtrade stall in the hall after the Sunday morning service.

Eco-congregation

We believe that God gave us the duty of caring for the Earth. We follow the philosophy of 'living lightly' on the Earth and aim to have a positive impact on the world that was created for us. We aspire to be an EcoCongregation, by making the link between environmental issues and our Christian faith, and by taking practical steps to reduce our carbon footprint as individuals and as members of the church, and as members of the local and the global community.

Christian Aid

Wesley Memorial Church has very close links to the Oxford Christian Aid team: the annual Christian Aid market is held on our premises; individual members of the congregation organise House to House collections around Oxford; and the Open Doors project has a specific Christian Aid strand. Five percent of all voluntary donations and local fundraising will go to Christian Aid, initially for a project in Burkina Faso.
