Our IMPACT! Group in Sandbach have been working on a variety of projects since they successfully completed their Parish refugee sponsorship scheme last year.
The Group had previously spent the last few years working on a long running action campaign to sponsor a refugee family through the Government’s resettlement scheme. They successfully raised the money, organised a suitable property and arranged for a range of support services to be in place for the family.
With this now in place, the Group have again gone through the SEE-JUDGE-ACT Method on a range of other potential issues. Their latest update summarises where they are up to, so please have a read and continue to keep them and all our other Groups in your prayers.
The Group update reads: “Esther who is down from University joined the group. Currently we are working on campaigns around the environment and a plastic-free town. We also had an idea to make a Sandbach version of Monopoly, only with a strong emphasis on the environment. This way we could find an inventive way of engaging young people and their families.
Esther also asked the group to write a few words about what Impact means to them also. In this way we can help share the positive impact of the work of the YCW and how it helps young people grow as leaders.”
In response to their update, National President Marc Besford said: “I was really pleased to see the work of Sandbach continue and hear that they are coming up with new ways of working on important issues like the environment. I hope to go down and visit the soon.”
