The parish of St Machar’s Cathedral has extended considerably in recent years, following the unions with St George’s, Tillydrone and St Mary’s, King Street. The Cathedral’s Outreach Committee has a particular commitment to the parish and also to supporting the work of Christian Aid. As the Committee’s Convener, Shona Buxton, has undertaken to walk every street of the parish over Christian Aid Week 2026 in support of the world’s most vulnerable communities.
All being well, Shona will leave from St Machar’s at 12:30 every day 10-16 May (except 14 May). Please consider joining her for part of the walk. Whether it’s beetling along the Beach Boulevard or hitting the high road to Hayton, everyone is very welcome to do as much or as little as they wish.
Christian Aid exists to create a world where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty. For over 80 years, it has supported life-changing work
, helping people of all faiths and none by tackling the root causes of poverty. Please give generously.
