community cohesion @ Newbridge



Late last night, Clare and I loaded the Council of Faiths exhibition material (set of eight banners, a couple of hundred copies of our "generic" leaflet, bookmarks and stickers) into her tiny Peugeot, for her to drive to Newbridge High School in Coalville this morning. The school (along with its neighbour Castle Rock High School) is holding a community cohesion event this week and improving the pupils' and staff's awareness of the faith communities around them is an integral part of the activity. Our neighbour, the Schools Development Support Agency (SDSA) is providing a day of lessons and activities on issues related to faith or belief today at Newbridge and Wednesday at Castle Rock. We're backing that up with our display materials, which are going to be on show in the school library today and tomorrow before moving on to Castle Rock on Wednesday morning.

This is the first of two occasions when I would have needed to be in two places at once this week. Thanks Clare for support above and beyond, in taking the stuff out to Coalville.
