Ingredients for change
Big Church Festival 2023 was this past weekend, and Y Care International had the privilege of attending.
As part of our presence at the festival, we hosted a campaign stall throughout the event, introducing people to our impactful Ingredients for Change campaign. Additionally, we hosted our own dedicated festival space in a big-top tent, leading soap-making workshops for festival-goers of all ages.
What did we get up to?
At our campaign stall, we created an interactive and informative space where attendees could learn about our Ingredients for Change campaign, which is raising awareness about the social and economic factors that contribute to inequality and empower individuals and communities to take action for a more just and inclusive world.
Through engaging displays, conversations, and educational materials, we introduced people to the campaign’s key messages and encouraged them to join us in making a difference.
Make the soap that brings change
In addition to the campaign stall, we led soap-making workshops in our dedicated festival space. These workshops provided a hands-on experience for participants, allowing them to create their own unique soaps while learning about the transformative power of community-led development.
Why soap?
Inspired by the remarkable work of our partners in Sierra Leone, particularly the Unique Family Soap Project, a soap-making social enterprise that uplifts and supports women survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, we sought to share their story and engage festival-goers in our campaign for change.
When communities are in charge of realising their own potential, and they have our full support, they have all the resources they need to see every young person’s potential fulfilled. Discover our 2023 campaign and watch our video here.
