‘This is Life’ is an initiative run by local churches in Norfolk in conjunction with the Newday Christian festival (www.newdaygeneration.org ). In August each year, between 5000-6000 young people aged between 12-19 from across the UK will be gathering for Newday, a week’s camping at the Norfolk Showground for meetings, seminars, sports, social activities, music, gigs and much more. The ‘This is Li
fe’ initiative teams up the young volunteers attending Newday with local churches to help serve and undertake social action projects that impact and benefit local communities. These projects, which are often delivered in partnership with Local Councils and Police Authorities, not only benefit the communities but are also a great learning opportunity and experience for these young volunteers. Projects that are typically run are: clearing up litter and rubbish; running sports activities for local young people; running a kids holiday club; tidying up gardens for local residents; painting over graffiti; a community fun day; car washing etc. This is life website: http://www.thisislife.org.uk/
