Description

Young people will reflect on their participation in the Delivering Joy campaign, considering what they have learned about their community, the difference their actions have made, and how they have developed through helping others. They will then create a way of sharing their experience with others to raise awareness of the issue and encourage more people to get involved in supporting their community. The Delivering Joy campaign helps provide Christmas gifts to people who may otherwise go without, working with local schools, care homes, charities and refuges.

Instructions

4. As a group, identify other ways they could support people in the community in the future. Record all ideas and discuss which could become future projects.
