It provides an informal setting for young people to meet and socialise, and plays an important support role when preparing them for Confirmation.  The Group meets at the church centre every Friday between 7pm and 9 pm during term-time, and also organises outdoors activities - such as cinema trips, bowling and BBQs. The charge is £1.00 per meeting, plus the costs of any outside activity. The group is run by parents on a rota basis. 

                                                                                   There is normally a waiting list to join, so please contact Penny Trulli or Catherine Ledgard at the church centre office

There is a pool table and table football or you can play on the wii or just sit and chat with friends. The tuck shop is always open and  and in the summer term if the weather's nice you can go out into the garden. Each week at Youth Group a different activity is planned. It might be a quiz or competition, games in the garden or electric guitars. Sometimes there's even an extra treat like hotdogs or pizza.

                                                                                  The current year 6’s were invited along to get their first taste of Youth Group before they start in September and for the year 8’s it was farewell as they will be leaving at the end of July. They all enjoyed sausages and burgers and spent the afternoon playing games in the garden, playing on the Wii, and “singing” along to the karaoke machine.
