An alive programme valuing Year 7&8 children!

Most Friday nights during term time.  An evening filled with a variety of games, laughter, loud noise, mess, food, jibber jabber and occasional outings.

We want to help young people grow in confidence while feeling valued, within a safe environment, based on Christian values.  We also aim to incorporate discussion times where the young people can hear about topics that are relevant to their stage of life and faith.

We have a team of dedicated leaders, of all ages, who pour in a lot of effort to plan, connect with the kids, and also make sure they have a great time! 

Times:  Most Friday nights from 6:30pm - 8:15pm, during school terms.
