One World is coming back to Alsager Civic Centre tomorrow (Saturday) with the theme 'Race to Save the World'.

Alsager Ladies Circle took over the delivery of this event back in 2010 and it has gone from strength to strength since then getting bigger and better each year.

Now combined with Alsager Tangent, this year's event takes place from 9.30 am until 12.30 pm and as usual it takes place in Alsager Civic in Lawton Road.  

The aim is to celebrate the richness and diversity of cultures in our community and to look at problems common to all such as reducing plastic use and promoting recycling.

A spokesperson said: "We will be welcoming back our 'National' stall holders along with ELF, Mors bags, Tools with a Mission, crafts by Messy Church, the 'Henna' girls and much much more.

"Entry and refreshments are free so come and join us for a cuppa whilst soaking up the One World atmosphere!"

Retired design engineer, Gordon Degg, who lives in Alsager is helping to craft a new life for people in Africa by collecting unwanted tools and sewing and knitting machines.

He is also using his clever woodcraft skills to carve a better life for people in Africa through the church-based charity, Tools with a Mission (TWAM) who will be at tomorrow's event.

Talented Gordon not only uses his own cleverly crafted skills to make wooden gifts to sell for TWAM, he is also a Cheshire East volunteer for the Ipswich-based charity as we revealed in our article here .
