I am Michelle an employee of Church Army as a children's and Young families pioneering evangelist based in the Impact 242 centre of mission Morfa llanelli i wanted to take part in the 1882 challenge to help raise funds for all the great projects that church Army have set up. I decided to make an exercise Challenge harder by wearing a gorilla outfit to do 18 star jumps, 18 high knees The, 18 press ups and 82 skips every day from 18th to the 26th Sept. Here is just 1 of the projects that church army are doing_
The Amber Project is our project for young people with experience of self harm. Ryan's story:"Ive been coming to The Amber Project for seven months. Ive 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 Im working through them. Im not self-harming as much as I used to. Ive suffered with mental health issues my entire life, but theyve 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, Ive seen positive changes in the other young people who come as well. The Amber Project feels like home to me."
