Friday Night Drop-In

Martin Stand, Project Director of Darlington Area Churches Youth Ministry, is looking for a donation of two computers for the Centre.

So if anyone has a spare computer fit for purpose will they please ensure it is put to good use, and handed over.

On the Saturday 2nd, March, Darlington Area Churches Youth Ministry is having a sponsored abseil down St. Cuthbert’s Church, to raise money.

This could be an interesting and challenging way for both children and parents to participate in a worthwhile cause.

Parent helpers are also wanted to join an ongoing team of volunteers to work on a rota basis at the Centre, which will be once or twice a term.

Those interested are asked to contact Martin Stand for an informal chat about what the work entails.

Contact telephone number is, 07717336183 and email dacym@yfc.co.uk Parents need not worry about the cost, as it is not expensive for their children to attend the Drop-In Centre, £1.50 for a single session.

Pocket money may be needed though, for a bag of chips from the ‘chippy’ or tuck shop goodies.

There is now an option to pay each half term in advance, reducing the overall cost by fifty pence a week.

All of the money raised goes back into running the Centre.

The aim of the Centre is to give young people a safe place to meet friends and hang out, while having the freedom to come and go as they please.

Teens have a lot of fun. Each person has to sign in and collect a wristband, to ensure accountability, and for safeguarding.
