Talk of the town in Birmingham

Redeeming Our Communities Birmingham is gathering pace- recently the steering group have been meeting to discuss plans, and a council of reference is taking shape. ROC Conversations will be taking place across the city- you can find out the dates and venues here. We also have a new video featuring some members of the steering group explaining why they're involved in Redeeming Our Communities Birmingham- watch it here!

24hrs in Jersey

This week, Debra visited Jersey for the 4th time, to take part in the 3rd Redeeming Our Communities event on the island. The event took place at Hautlieu School and focused on projects that would engage with the island's youth. You can read a report from Debra's trip here.

Debra's trip to Jersey is just part of her busy travel and speaking itinerary for this year. To find out if she is speaking in a town near you, or to invite her to speak at an event, click here.
