Purpose and Scope

Bring to the attention of the PCC matters of social responsibility on both a global and local scale.
The development of schemes (with other bodies and churches, as appropriate) that respond to identified needs.
To raise awareness of issues on a global or local scale (notifying of demonstrations concerning peace, justice and social responsibility matters).
Working closely with other bodies with common aims (such as the Deanery Social Responsibility Committee).

Social Responsibility

We have a social responsibility within the community to react to the needs of the Parish.

We have been successful in areas such as Bereavement Counseling, assistance with travel to and from Church and enabling worshippers from Mote Lodge to be involved in our services to name just a few.

One area that has proved helpful within the village has been the Remembrance Ribbons at Christmas. Red & Silver Ribbons have been available in Church for people to write short messages. These ribbons are then hung on the Christmas tree and blessed. A book is available for people to write additional messages. A large number of people have found this very helpful, especially as Christmas is a time when we all remember and reflect on family members no longer with us.

The idea for the Remembrance Christmas Ribbons came via a letter to the committee from a parishioner who experienced it at another Church and found it helpful.

If you have any ideas or thoughts that you would like considered please contact the committee.
