Connecting with our local schools

• Reaching out to children and young people in our community,

• Understanding young people and their challenges,

• Providing a listening ear,

• Leading by example,

• Promoting good lifestyles and behaviours,

• Educating and bringing knowledge,

• Providing what is needed when it is needed and

• Offering support, facilities and resources

These are the realities we bring to the children and young people of our town and into our local schools.

 

We employ 3 full-time staff who work with children and young people in our local primary and high schools. In addition, we have a team of volunteers who play a major part in the work with children and young people both inside and outside school hours.
We work in partnership with other Churches in the town and in partnership with Life Link and the Spire Trust agency in carrying out some of our schools work
