We also have a Social Responsibiliy and Action Group
It`s task is to:
- Act as the community's conscience in matters of social concern
- Give support to local organisations which care for the disadvantaged
We support Community Action, Malvern and District. * As well as being a volunteer centre, C.A provides a car service for those aged 65 and over or who are registered disabled and who cannot access medical appointments by public transport.
A Shoparound scheme uses C.A minibuses to take elderly housebound or disabled people on shopping or recreational trips. C.A is always looking for new volunteers.
A new "Tea Club" has been started to help older people who are living on their own. This is held monthly in churches on a Sunday afternoon. People report that Sunday is the lonliest day!
There is a Mothers Union Group *in the Priory which meets regularly.
We continue to support the the Jubilee Debt Campaign * because even today more needs to be done to help the poorest nations get out of debt.
We also support the Trade Justice movement, made up of Christian and secular organisations working for a level playing field for trade the whole world over.
