An ecumenical service in Keighley Shared Church on Sunday will mark the beginning of Christian Aid Week.
Organisers have already staged a quiz night at the Brown Cow pub, in Keighley, which included prizes, a raffle and free food.
Judith Wood, Christian Aid organiser for Keighley, said this year's focus would be on raising money to support people in Ghana and Bangladesh.

She appealed to residents to do all they could to help.
She said: "House to house collecting will go on as usual and the collectors from churches will be grateful for support.
"Every bit of this will add to our total. Keighley Christian Aid is very well thought of in West Yorkshire for its commitment and successful fundraising."
Sunday's service at the Shared Church (6pm) will feature music, the commissioning of new collectors and preaching by Christian Aid's volunteer representative from Leeds.
