Hope on the streets

Hope 08 took us to the streets of langsett netherthorpe and upperthorpe.
12 projects took place, from kids activities, cleaning shop wwindows, litter pick and working in a school.

I took on an area that had not been looked at for 4 years,cleaning it up with the council meant removing tyres, glass and clearing drains.

We then moved to the school and painted fences, cleared our sheds and smashing up a wall.

we felt the wholw project blessed the area in more ways that we could imagine. One of the rojects cleared 4 tons of rubbish from an estate.

Operation Fred....Launched jMay 08


The mother and toddler group launched operation fred. Raising money for the school kids in turkey. One of our congregation is from there and shared what life there was like.
They had a sponsored trampoline bounce and cofee morning.
