Welcome to the Poole-Wau Partnership website
Our 2022 Appeal for the St John's College extension was launched in January.
See our 2022 Appeal webpage for the latest update on our progress:
https://www.poolewaupartnership.com/2022-appeal.html
We are a registered charity which has linked the Anglican Churches of Poole & North Bournemouth Deanery with the Diocese of Wau, South Sudan since 2011.
Our principal aim is to support the work of Wau Diocese in all its different forms, including financial support for practical projects. The Partnership was formally established in February 2011, inspired by a visit to the UK in 2010 by Rt Rev Moses Deng Bol, Bishop of Wau (now also Archbishop of Northern Bahr el Ghazal province) and embodying his vision of a link based on Acts 2, 42-47 in which the partners strengthen each other spiritually, share talents and gifts and share resources.
Poole-Wau Partnership aims to share our lives, different as they are in many ways, with our sisters and brothers in the Diocese of Wau - by means of prayer, by Facebook and e-mail, by visiting when circumstances allow, all of which can work both ways; and by financial aid which is inevitably one way.
PWP has raised over £300,000 during its first eleven years to support Wau Diocese. We depend principally on support from the 21 Anglican churches of Poole & North Bournemouth Deanery, which covers all of Poole, plus Lytchett Minster, Lytchett Matravers, Talbot Village, West Howe, Kinson and Ensbury Park. The Deanery's support for PWP was re-affirmed in a unanimous vote of the Deanery Synod in October 2021:
“The Deanery Synod of Poole & North Bournemouth recognises the valuable work done by our Deanery link with South Sudan, the Poole-Wau Partnership, over the past ten years, reaffirms its support for the Partnership and encourages parishes to engage with its work in the coming years.”
We also carry out a limited number of fundraising events, including the annual ‘Holes Bay Challenge’ 7-mile walk, and on a few occasions have launched appeals to raise money for particular projects in Wau, the latest of which is the new building at St John's College; see https://www.poolewaupartnership.com/2022-appeal.html for details.
Prayer has always been an important part of the life of the Poole-Wau Partnership and we hold monthly Prayer Meetings as well as sending out a monthly Prayer Letter. We also keep our supporters informed by means of a bi-monthly Newsletter.
If you would like to be put on the e-mailing list to receive the Prayer Letter and/or the Newsletter, please use the Contact page.
