We have just received a letter announcing that our very active charity and lobbying group has been awarded a sheep by the charity Send a Cow, which provides livestock for communities in need in developing countries. The sheep was awarded to our group in celebration of their Giving Nation Award diary, which is available to read on this website. Our group has not yet completed a huge number of diary entries, but the sheep was awarded in recognition of the strength of the lobbying work represented by the group's efforts at Presentation Evening in December. The group was not dismayed by the fact that there wasn't time to present their lobby to Education Minister Alan Johnson, but rallied to send a photo of themselves, a giant AIDS ribbon and their lobby letter to him in Westminster. The group has since received a very encouraging reply. Our sheep in Africa will help a family by giving them a reliable income and hope for a better future. Well done our g-nation group.
