First Parish Bedford UU

 Welcome to Social Action

  The Council recognizes four basic facets of social  action:

• Education/Awareness
• Service
• Action
• Dialogue/Reflection

 First Parish has always held social action to be one of its most important values. In a recent survey of activity, parishioners reported involvement in nearly sixty organizations, local, regional, and global. Social action programming is coordinated by the Social Responsibility Council which was funded by a vote of the semiannual Parish Meeting held in October, 2001; monies flow to the Council through First Parish’s endowment. The goal of the Council is to act on behalf of the parish to coordinate and fund projects that express Unitarian Universalist values within our community. A by-law establishing the Council was voted at the 2002 Annual Meeting of the parish, and seven members were elected to serve terms ranging from one  to three years.

An important initiative of First Parish's Social Responsibility Council

is a program of grant-making and donations to agencies and organizations that represent our core values.
