What the charity does

We gather Christian youth from all denominations across South Wales to encourage, support, connect them in their love for God and equip them to share their faith. We meet every 6 weeks to worship, teach, mentor and train youth to be strong role models to others. We go into the community with acts of kindness and faith sharing, which sparks love for Jesus for everyday life and into their futures.
