A reminder of tomorrow's workshop on Green Clean-ups, with input from the GRAB Trust's Beaches & Marine Litter team, Team Up to Clean Up and Erskine Riverfront Development Trust.

Organising community clean-ups is a great way to get chatting and team-building, while look after our natural spaces.

RenCAN Hub development officer Svenja met with Unyimeobong Matthew from Inspiring Families and Bardic Druid and interfaith activist Linda Haggerstone at GALA Ministry in Foxbar yesterday. Pastor Anietie Matthew gave us a tour of the space, and we discussed a Renfrewshire-wide meetup between different faith groups during Scottish Interfaith Week in November.

This year's theme is Our Future, and we're interested in exploring environmental stewardship and the climate from a multi-faith perspective.
