We currently run the following youth groups during term time:
Monday in Shap
3.30pm - 4.30pm for Y5/6 and then, after the UCC bus drops off, from 4.30pm to 5.15pm for all ages. Meeting in Shap Primary School, with the chance to keep in touch with teachers and old friends.
Tuesday in Morland
4.30pm - 6pm in Morland Village Hall.
Wednesday in Crosby Ravensworth / Maulds Meaburn
4.15pm - 5.30pm. We meet in Maulds Meaburn Village Institute during the winter, and St Lawrence's Church during the warmer months.
Forthcoming: Thursday in Bolton
We are busy preparing for a new youth group in Bolton on Thursdays, in the Village Hall, straight from the school bus.
More information
For more information about any of our youth groups, please email our Growing Younger Minister, Ruth: contact details at the foot of this page. We have a range of local volunteers and also work with Rachel Milburn, our Network Youth Church leader for the Appleby area.
All of our groups run with a parental WhatsApp group, so that we can keep in close touch about arrangements.
We have a range of indoor and outdoor activities, discussion, plenty of food and drink after a tiring day at school, occasional visitors, and trips to events. We also run an annual weekend away. All our groups are Christian in character, but warmly welcome children of all faiths and none.
Weekend Away 2025 and other dates
Our Weekend Away 2025 will be at Knock, Friday 14th to Sunday 16th March. Save the date!
Following the success of our day trip this year, we will also be organising a coach to The Big One in Keswick, September 2025. More details in due course.
