Social Action

 

B1 has been involved in a number of social projects, and a 'social action' group currently meets to find ways of encouraging B1ers to get involved in social action locally, nationally and internationally. If interested in finding out more, please speak to Ed.

Services with a 'social action' focus also take place regularly at B1, along with prayer focusing on social issues in the community.

Some of the social action projects B1 has supported include the following:
