This year has been one of remarkable growth and deepening impact.
We connected with 2,344 young people across schools, churches, and community settings. This represents a 16% increase from last year, with overall engagement rising by 14%. Our team
delivered 1,432 youth work sessions, providing safe, consistent spaces for young people to grow physically, socially, mentally and spiritually. Our support work with local churches grew by 38%, thanks to our Young Leaders Training Course for 16–20-year-olds, equipping the next generation to lead with confidence and faith.
Our residential saw a 40% increase in participation, with 63 young people from four youth groups joining us for a time of fun, faith, and community. Most significantly, eight young people decided to follow Christ for themselves, a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.
We’ve also witnessed a stronger connection between our areas of work. Many young people are now moving seamlessly between school, community, and church, allowing them to
experience the fullness of what we offer. A highlight of the year was our first-ever pop-up prom dress shop, where 43 young people said
“yes to the dress” – a joyful example of practical love in action.
In total, we gave 3,266 hours of direct contact time to young people, and 210 were offered the opportunity to respond to the message of Jesus in person.
Through it all, we have continued to be a consistent Christian presence in our communities, offering inclusive, accessible, and hope-filled support to every young person we meet,
regardless of background, faith, or ability.
Be encouraged! We invite you to get in touch to learn more about who we are, the work we do,
and the impact we are making in the lives of young people and our communities.
