Joint Youth Nights 2024
an important update regarding our upcoming joint youth nights throughout 2024.
We are thrilled about the enthusiasm and participation of the youth in our community, and we greatly appreciate your continued support and collaboration in making these events impactful for everyone involved. We have trebled in size in September, which is so incredible, and largely due to increasing participation from church’s and youth groups. However, as we grow we also encounter some new challenges that need to be sorted.
As we gear up for our next series of youth nights, it has become so important for us to ensure the safety and well-being of our young people. In line with our commitment to safeguarding practices, we are implementing a new policy that requires each youth group to adhere to our specific adult-to-youth ratio.
To comply with our safeguarding standards, we now request that each group provide a minimum of one adult for every eight young people attending the event.
We kindly ask that you ensure the appropriate number of responsible adults accompany your youth groups to the upcoming events starting in January. By collectively adhering to these guidelines, we can create a safer and more enriching environment for everyone involved.
On a far less important note, we are also going to be having a tuck shop open for the youth to buy snacks and drinks throughout the night – so please remind them to bring a couple of quid for that!
Merry Christmas, and a happy new year! I can’t wait to see what 2024 brings for our young people!
