£10,000 Raised at ROOTS Conference for EARTH projects
Throughout this year’s ROOTS delegates were shown how caring for the environment is an integral part of being ‘Wholly Holy’, the theme of this year’s event. Whether they saw the video “This is our Earth” during the sessions, walked through the giant EARTH doorway into the exhibition space or wore their EARTH badge with pride, everyone was faced with the fact that our climate is changing, the poorest people are the worst affected and it is up to us to do something about it – a challenge that the ROOTS delegates accepted with enthusiasm and passion. £10,000 was raised over the weekend for The Salvation Army’s EARTH projects, hundreds of copies of the EARTH resource pack, featuring videos, powerpoints and resources for all ages, were given out and hopefully many more people will now be engaged with this issue as the delegates share what it means to LOVE PEOPLE and LOVE THE EARTH with their friends, neighbours and colleagues.
