Every year the Conference raises money for SVP projects in Sudan through various events, such as an “indulgence” evening, cake sales, and a ceilidh. The money raised helps to pay for the Sudan baby feeding project, medical treatments and sponsoring education and training. In February 2008 Ian Mawdsley (SVP Twinnage Co-ordinator for SVP in Sudan ) and his wife, Ruth, gave us a talk about their visit to the projects in Sudan which are supported by our donations.
Members have spoken at SVP National meetings and attended International SVP Youth meetings
