Afro Caribbean Leukaemia Trust
Beverley De-Gale OBE and Orin Lewis OBE to raise awareness of leukaemia and all blood-related cancers within the black and mixed race communities established the Afro Caribbean Leukaemia Trust (ACLT) in 1996.
Their six-year-old son Daniel diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia prompted the formation of ACLT. After much heartache and soul searching a leading consultant at Great Ormond Street Hospital informed Beverley and Orin. Daniel would need a bone marrow transplant to defeat the disease. The big question for the family was how and where they were going to find a matching donor?
As bone marrow matching was race specific, with very few people from the black and mixed race communities unwilling to step forward as donors. The chances of finding a match were 1 in 250,000 of discovering a compatible donor. Daniel managed to overcome two major relapses, when finally in June 1999 aged 12 he received a bone marrow transplant from an unrelated donor. This enabled Daniel to live a full and beneficial life, successfully passing exams at school and University. However in October 2008 due to other complications Daniel went to be with the Lord.
The courage of Daniel and his family inspired Reverend Robert Pritchard, Ian Hamilton and other members to introduce ACLT to Park Lane Methodist Church in 2010 which first involved a recruitment clinic adding 11 new potential bone marrow donors and 20 new blood donors. The passion and drive of church members Howard Bowen and Donald Palmer also witnessed these guys take part in a 5k "Marrowthon" raising a substantial amount of revenue, followed by a £600 donation by the congregation, greeted with great acknowledgement and cheer from ACLT.
At Park Lane Methodist we believe God opens doors man can never close!

Christian Aid Week - 15th to 21st May 2023
Park Lane supports the work of Christian Aid.
In 2013 Christian Aid Week focussed on stories from three countries: Bolivia, Kenya and Zimbabwe.
They all looked at how Christian Aid partners were helping communities to 'bite back at hunger'.
With the generous help of the Park Lane congregation led by Beryl Anderson we collected a vast amount door to door which was sent to Christian Aid last September which coincided with a special dedication service.
Park Lane will continue its support throughout 2023
