The global Covid-19 pandemic has been a challenging time which has generated a much greater public awareness of the need for green space. Many of our churches are surrounded by churchyards or gardens, which – added together – span a green area as large as a national park. Does your churchyard or church garden have room for a new tree? Launching at the Chelsea Flower Show, a unique tree planting campaign across the United Kingdom will mark The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022. Across the United Kingdom, people will be encouraged to “Plant a Tree for the Jubilee” through The Queen’s Green Canopy initiative. Best of all – 3 million saplings will be made available for free to charities, schools, scout groups, community groups and landowners. More information will be available after 17th May 2021: https://queensgreencanopy.org/ or visit https://dioceseofyork.org.uk/news-events/news/plant-a-tree-for-the-jubilee/ Generosity Week: Coming Soon! After the successful national resource ‘The Generosity Week’ was launched last autumn, we are really pleased that our Diocesan Generous Giving team are involved in developing a much wider resource for this year. Look out for the new resource collection, available from July through the Church of England website, which will include worship and discipleship materials as well as podcasts and a Generosity Challenge. We encourage you to make use of this collection as a way of building a generous church. Parish Giving Scheme: Ready to Get Started?
