We are looking at taking a team of 10 people into the heart of south-east Uganda for 3 weeks in July 2019. We will be serving in rural areas with a focus on faith, health and education.

We believe this trip may be a little more spiritually confronting than some of our other trips so we are looking for mature Christians to be part of our team.

This info night will look at where we are going, what we will be doing and how to prepare. It will answer common questions and give you an opportunity to ask some of your own.

We are organising a group of women to meet for the OneLove Women’s Convention.
