National awards celebrate positive impact of faith in society
Christian-based community projects from Colchester, Edinburgh, Everton and Hull will have their achievements recognised at the Faithworks awards ceremony this week.More than 200 local community projects applied for the £5,000 awards, sponsored by Congregational & General Insurance, the Faithworks membership, Kingdom Bank, Oasis UK and Spurgeons Network.
Malcolm Duncan, Leader of the Faithworks Movement said: “Every day the people involved in these projects give themselves away for others. Their work is sacrificial, sustained and committed. These people are the true leaders of the Faithworks Movement.”
Award winners include the Sunflower Garden Project based in Edinburgh, which will receive the Spurgeons Network Award for Improving the Lives of Children and Young People. The pioneering Christian project, which has been running since 2003, works with children affected by drug and alcohol use in the families seeks to break the pattern of intergenerational substance misuse.
