Becoming More Active Together - Conference 2015

It's that time of year again when we have the annual Sandwell Churches Link conference.  It is usually a good opportunity to meet other church members and leaders from across the borough and here about the projects and initiatives that are going on to try and tackle poverty within our communities and to see how we can work together better in order to serve the people of Sandwell.

As ever it will be held in the council chamber at Sandwell Council House in Oldbury.  The initial talk will be given by the Ven Hayward Osborne, Archdeacon of Birmingham.  He will begin framing the day with a Biblical and Theological reflection on some kingdom values about how we stand in solidarity with the vulnerable in our daily practice.

We will then be able to find out about and contribute to a range of anti poverty activities across our towns and neighbourhoods.  These will include thoughts on:

• Places of Welcome
• Financial Inclusion
• Food Poverty
• Homelessness
• Near Neighbours

You can download a poster/flier for the conference here.
