Why work at Aid to the Church in Need?

ACN is a Catholic charity bringing spiritual and practical help to Christians – especially those who are persecuted for their beliefs. We carry out our mission of reconciliation and love through local Church partners: supporting priests, Sisters and catechists, building churches, providing transport, training seminarians, and providing religious literature and media - as well as supplying emergency aid for Christians struggling to survive or fleeing persecution. ACN also advocates on behalf of suffering Christians denied a voice. Through prayer, information and action we are keeping the faith alive in a troubled world.

Your role will be assisting and supporting the Community Outreach team with the planning and execution of all outreach activities which is key in growing the visibility and fundraising opportunity of Aid to the Church in Need in Scotland.
