North London HARP Activities »

As this is my first blog since being signed up to familyfireplace.org at the media workshop, I wanted to post some old news from some of north london HARP’s recent past events.

Fundraising – Sunday 8th February 

On Sunday 8th February we decided not to have a normal service, but instead decided to manufacture and sell some handmade cards.

We started with a short internal message from our youth pastor William Haines. After which Naomi Sato taught everyone, and supplied the materials in order to make some handmade cards. It took us an hour to produce 100 cards.

After spending an hour out on the streets, we managed to raise £69.56 after expenses. Even though some participants weren’t so inspired by the idea of fundraising, on returning everyone was bright faced and pleased with their success.

HARP Youth Club – Saturday 14th February

This saturday saw the beginning of a new section to North London’s Youth Club. As there was an obvious fall in numbers of HARP members at the regular fortnightly youth club I decided to create a monthly youth club just for HARP members 12 years and over. The event was a success judging by the number of participants and positive comments.

Half Term Workshop – Sunday 15th-Monday 16th

Since we had a week off school I thought it would be a good idea to have mini workshop of sorts.

We based the workshop on the idea/moto of Living For Others. The first day consisted firstly of the challenge to buy all the supplies/food that they would need to for the two days on a budget. After this we had a trip to Kew Gardens, the idea of this was to have a bit of bonding time together and somehow prepare for the challenges of the next day.
