Fair Trade Social Justice Cafe Van
In 2008 The Salvation Army commissioned its first Fair Trade Social Justice Cafe Van. The vehicle operating under the services of No. 47 will ensure better outreach services to residents in need, as well as raise awareness on key issues of injustice in the community.
The vehicle will be used in public awareness campaigns in high schools, malls etc. and will address injustice in international trading practices, promote fair trade products and educate on the issue of human trafficking.
Schools Work
No. 47 has chaplaincy services at Ryde Secondary College and Ryde Public school. We also offer focus days and seminars to secondary schools:
- “Alcohol & Other Drugs Risk Taking Behaviour”
- “Anti Human Traffiking” and “Fair Trade”
- “ICE Seminar”
- “Potential and You” (Self Esteem/Leadership)
Legal Support
No. 47 offers assistance to young people by acting as a responsible adult and support person. We attend police cells and juvenile detention facilities as advocates for youth. We can participate in youth conferencing with offenders, victims and law enforcement departments. We also offer access to free legal representation and provide legal advice as necessary (appointment required).
Youth Outreach Services
Seeing the need to reach out to youth in the Ryde community, No. 47 has just commenced a youth outreach program which will run each fortnight on a Thursday evening. Contact No. 47 for further information.
