Learning (Christian Learning) – To help the children learn about the Christian faith and see that the bible is still relevant and important in the modern world and to their lives.
Safeguard & Support – A core aim of the group is to create a place of safety for these children and to provide support. This is going to be their space and we will abide by safeguarding rules and guidance to ensure it is a refuge and a healthy environment.
