Granton went Greener and cleaner last Saturday as a result of our rubbish picking event.
Our clothing and environmental project goes from strength to strength
Our amazing volunteers have been recognised in 2020 by Volunteer Edinburgh and received Inspiring Volunteer in Achievement Award
Granton Goes Greener has received a big donation of Christmas cards. They are at the back of the church to be freely taken for yourself, or perhaps for a family that could use them.
We’ve saved a whopping great one and a half tonnes of clothing from landfill since the start of lockdown!!
Our clothes re-use project – Share ‘n’ Wear – has been inundated with donations of clothes over the lockdown period so we time to sort through them and get them ready for sharing.
This means that unfortunately we are not able to accept any donations until further notice.
Here’s a great opportunity to sign up for a Tea Party with the Festival Theatre band on Monday 15th June and Wednesday 17th June – but hurry – deadline to sign up is THURSDAY 11TH JUNE.
Our Share ‘n’ Wear project is in need of men’s shoes. Specifically for one of our customers who has found everything he needed but shoes.
Face coverings available to order for £3 each. One of Granton Goes Greener volunteers has now turned their hands to making face-coverings. With Scottish Government advice
Anna is doing a series on the Granton Goes Greener Facebook page (www.facebook.com/GrantonGoesGreener) called ‘Window on the World’ where people post about what they can see from their window and what they are doing during lockdown.
At our church we aim to introduce people to Jesus so that they will:
