Christmas Jumper Swap
Thank you to everyone who participated in any way with this. We were given 69 jumpers (57 for kids) and we re-homed 37 and took the rest to a charity shop. There were good conversations about recycling and use of the earth’s resources and there was great enthusiasm to support the initiative. Although not asked for, people were keen to donate towards the jumpers and together with the Marble Game, this raised £53 for church funds.
The eco church group and Climate Action Menston were supported with resources from Recoup which is the UK’s leading independent authority on plastics resource efficiency and recycling. It is hoped that more schools and community groups will make use of the learning from our event and a “how to” guide is being prepared based on our experience.

Also, thank you to everyone who made use of our communal Christmas card postbox and for the festive display created. Such schemes help save resources and help us with our Eco church award journey!
Eco quiz for all ages
Our next event will be our quiz evening on Saturday 8th March from 4-6pm with supper. If you are interested in joining the eco group, do get in touch. Marilyn, Catherine, Sally, Matthew and Jen.
