**About Us**

We are a growing Christian charity delivering youth work in the Forest of Dean and passionate about enabling young people to thrive and reach their potential.

We currently run two youth clubs - Junior Club for children in school years 3-6 and Connect for young people in school years 7-11, where we provide a range of activities that support their physical, emotional and spiritual development.

We deliver a mentoring programme for young people aged 10-18 years of age who are experiencing challenges.
We recruit, train and support volunteer volunteers to mentor a young person for at least 12 months. The number of young people we support has more than doubled over the last two years.

We also partner with churches in the district to run youth socials and residentials for church youth groups that help build social cohesion and reduce isolation for young Christians across the denominations.
