St Oswald’s is an outward-looking church which cares deeply for the local community and the whole world. We pray together for the world each time we gather together and remember those in need.
We are registered with Eco-Congregation Scotland as a sign of our commitment to caring for the environment, and the link between our Christian faith and environmental issues. In 2024, St Oswald’s received an Eco-Congregation Scotland Silver award in recognition of our work.
We also support many charities by raising funds, raising awareness or simply hard work from our members.
Here is some of our regular work:
South Ayrshire Foodbank (Trussell Trust)
During services, a box is at the back of the church for donations to the foodbank.
Save the Children
Most years in November, St Oswald’s Church and members of the local Save the Children group share a week in the Maybole Charity shop. In 2024, £1200 was raised and split evenly between St Oswald’s and Save the Children.
Aberlour – Scotland’s Children’s Charity
St Oswald’s donates to Aberlour Children’s Charity every year and in 2024 we donated over £200 from collections held during our Christmas services.
Refuweegee
The Bishop’s Lent Appeal for 2025 was for Refuweegee, a charity that supports refugees in Scotland. Members of St Oswald’s contributed over £200.
