Local Events
SID will consist of a few days involved in community events, such as cleaning up the town and working with the community of Didcot. We will be setting up different teams to carry out different jobs, such as cleaning up parks and gardens, litter picking, offering help for the elderly and cleaning graffiti from buildings. We will then be hosting a celebration festival in St Edmonds Park on the afternoon of 24 July, involving several professional Christian bands and singers.
The aim of Soul in Didcot is to show the community of Didcot God's love, through helping to clean up Didcot, and through the festival by encouraging people to come to know the Lord. Our passion is to see Didcot become a nicer place to live in and to see people around us coming to know the amazing love God has for us all.
