Completed tasks
1st Shoe Rafiki collection
200 pairs collected? Should definitely have this as a supporting action for the year (3 times a year?) and involve Guides.

Website updates
Started new menu titled “Actions” and added Rafiki as the first one – planned frequency will be put on each such page.

Linda’s comments on excluding some groups
Pre-school is run externally but rental is nominal so it is effectively subsidised by the parish – Victoria can explain!
Similarly parent/toddler doesn’t pay rent, organisers are parishioners and we should try to involve them
School is independent but we’ve connected with them
Must agree who is doing what and stick to it
Is there sufficient enthusiasm for us to attempt a registration?

Registration form trial
LiveSimply website now says:
9 parishes around the country have now registered as livesimply parishes working towards the award. Well done to St John Bosco at Woodley, the Oxford Uni Chaplaincy, St John Vianney Tottenham, St Stanislaus Dulverton, St Matthews Northwood, St Josephs Colwyn Bay, St Josephs Ansdell, St Bonaventure Bristol and St Josephs Havant. Registration represents a real effort on the part of all these churches and a significant step on the journey towards living more responsibly toward the planet, the poor and to God. We would love you to join them.
I would be happy to do this and circulate but still think we need to talk to all groups and get firm ideas.
I can finish off any interviews not done after end of June
Engaging individuals
Suggest we ask people to sign up when we launch. If they don't then we drop back to tokenism. Start and hope people get message and join in?
