16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence | 25 November to 10 December
Every year between 25 November and 10 December, the 16 Days of Activism seeks to raise awareness about the disproportionate abuse towards women and girls. For 2024, we have created social media resources for parishes and individuals to make use of to change the perception that safeguarding is a tick-box exercise and for more to see it as a vital and missional part of our everyday Christian lives.
Safeguarding Sunday | 17 November 2024
Safeguarding Sunday is a safeguarding awareness-raising campaign for churches run by the charity Thirtyone:eight. Each November, thousands of churches from diverse backgrounds and traditions across the UK come together to reflect on their own safeguarding journey and to highlight and celebrate all the good work that is being done by so many behind the scenes to protect vulnerable people. If the date is not suitable it can be done on another day. The more time dedicated to focus on safeguarding in a service the greater the impact for the church, so if it has to be on a different day, that’s okay.
Registration is at Safeguarding Sunday | Thirtyone:eight (thirtyoneeight.org)
