Updates

Revision and Homework Drop in!
Our new Revision and Homework Drop in started a few weeks ago and is going really well. This space will run every Monday in term time, from 4pm - 5:30pm at Oakwood Church. This a quiet space for young people to focus on school work and exam revision. We are also seeing a number of 16-18 year olds, seeking support for CV writing and job applications.
Please pray for us as we respond to this need.

Prayer and Fasting Day
Our next prayer and fasting day is Monday 8th April. We will be gathering from 1pm - 3pm, upstairs at North Street Church. Please come and join us as we contend for the Youth in our town.

Office
Please note that the office will be closed from Monday 1st April for 1 week. Emails will be responded to as soon as possible.

Join our team!
We currently have two job vacancies live on our website. This is for a School Chaplaincy Post and a Shared Youth worker post. If you are interested in either of these, please do get in contact or have a look at our website for more information.

Equally, please share these where you can and pray we can appoint the right people to join our team.

Good Friday - Day of Prayer
Pursuit are running a Day of Prayer on Good Friday and we will be praying for the youth of our town at 7:30pm. Come and join us as we contend for this generation.

Thrive
As a charity, we have invested in Thrive, a systematic approach to the early identification of emotional developmental needs in young people. Thrive supports young people’s social and emotional growth and offers a trauma informed approach to improving their mental health and wellbeing. We have seen an increased need for this within the community and it is one of the biggest hurdles we see our young people face. Over the next few months, we will share a bit more about Thrive and how we will embed it into our work, but we would appreciate your prayers as we add this new dimension to our work.
