Young People’s RELAY Walk to COP26 as it comes to Amble this Sat 9th and Sun 10th Oct!
The RELAY project, organised by the Young Christians Climate Network is passing through Amble, Warkworth and Longhougton this weekend Sat 9th and Sun 10th on its way to the COP26 international environment conference. The group says:
“Our sisters and brothers in churches around the world are losing their livelihoods and homes, and we stand with them. Climate-vulnerable countries cannot access finance for adaptation and climate-induced loss and damages without incurring further debt. COP26 is the time to change this. We must hold our government accountable to delivering and exceeding the promised $100bn/year in climate finance. It’s time to Rise to the Moment.”

The RELAY group has travelled from London, and will arrive into Amble Harbour at about 4.30 on Saturday. It would be great if anyone is around, to welcome them. The group will be leaving from St Cuthbert’s Church at 9am on Sunday morning to walk to Warkworth. We are planning to meet them and show them our ‘Stitches for Survival’ scarf at the morning coffee session at Warkworth at 10am on Sunday.
The project organisers are also suggesting that we might like to make an origami boat to contribute to their campaign, which you can give to them to take to COP26 or send directly. All the information you need is in the attached file.
It would be great if you could let us know if you would like to join in at any point by emailing info@womensworkshop.net
