Budding artists and art lovers are invited to St Oswald’s Church in Croxley on Saturday (April 18).
The fourth Croxley Green Arts Café will take place at the church in Malvern Way, featuring work by young people from Little Green and Croxley Danes, as well as professional artists.
The event, in support of international development agency Christian Aid, has become an annual fixture, so far raising more than £3,000.
Organiser Chris Gregory, from the Croxley and Rickmansworth Christian Aid committee, said the exhibition is a way to encourage people of all ages to display their work in a relaxed setting while also supporting the annual Christian Aid Week appeal.
Money raised will help the charity’s partners to support communities to find practical and sustainable ways out of poverty. Initiatives vary from savings and loans schemes to counselling for survivors of sexual violence.
This year Christian Aid Week, which runs from May 10-16, is focusing on work in Nairobi, Kenya, where intense poverty means families have a daily struggle to feed their children.
But with tools, seeds and specialist training from Christian Aid’s partner, Beacon of Hope, families are learning how to make the most of a small space in the city to grow a steady supply of fresh vegetables to cook or sell.
The arts café takes place at St Oswald’s Church (WD3 3QL) from 11am to 4pm.
