Emma and I are ambitiously going to crochet 882 prayer worms during the week 18-26th September. We will then leave them in our local communities for people to take and hand them out to people who may benefit from one.

Please support us in this crazy crochet challenge to raise money and awareness for Church Army and bless all those who receive a worm too! 

#1882Challenge

Church Army has many amazing projects and Centres of Mission across the UK and Ireland. Below is an example of one of them - The Amber Project in Cardiff.

The Amber Project is our project for young people with experience of self harm. Ryan's story: "I've been coming to The Amber Project for seven months. I've taken part in the different workshops they run, but my favourite is the drama group. I love the improvisations we do, and I really enjoy acting. By pretending to be a different character, I can forget about my own worries for a while.Ive still got things going on inside my head, but I'm working through them. I'm not self-harming as much as I used to. I've suffered with mental health issues my entire life, but they've never been taken seriously. At school, theres no information available on mental health. I think that mental health is not understood or dealt with enough in society.Its great to come to The Amber Project...it gives me something to look forward to. We all look out for each other and, over time, I've seen positive changes in the other young people who come as well. The Amber Project feels like home to me."
