Our rules are that you have to do the challenge in order, there’s no time limit on each activity, and you can switch activities as long as you keep to the ‘feel’ of the original (for instance, don’t drink cider? Try an apple juice, or pear cordial!).ġ. You could even challenge a friend to complete them, and share pictures to show how you’re getting on! We do this each year, and it’s lovely to see our friends out on their adventures. If you’re looking for ways to find joy in the shortening days and misty mornings, why not try this autumn challenge? There are twenty activities to help celebrate the special pleasures of this time of year. Even if your day to day life doesn’t change much over July and August, there’s a sense of freedom and opportunity that can be missing from the other seasons. It can be so hard to say goodbye to the golden days of summer. If you can offer help with lifts, appointments, paperwork and befriending please get in touch Steph Farry Volunteers are also much needed, as an essential part of settling in, sorting paperwork and becoming part of the local community. If you have a property you would be willing to let, to help a family, please get in touch. The diocese are hoping to help find more landlords willing to house refugee families.
Council housing cannot be used for this, so private rental housing is needed. Housing: As more refugees are welcomed in to the area, housing will be needed so that families can move out of emergency accommodation. Most needed are: New men’s boxers and socks (size s/m) and warm clothes, coats, t-shirts, shoes, joggers and essential toiletries.
