For many families the summer holidays are a struggle. With the children at home looking for activities and treats and no free school meals, budgets are stretched. During the summer of 2013 both Middlesbrough FoodBank and Safe Families For Children saw a big rise in referrals as vulnerable families struggled to cope.
Hope 4 Summer 2014 was a practical grass roots response to offer support to families struggling during the summer holidays. Local churches worked together to offer some hope to local families by leading fun activity clubs for children, with a healthy meal provided, in a safe place so that parents could have a break. Sessions were either free or cost no more than 50p.
Hope 4 Summer is a great example of churches and Christian projects working together to make a difference to hundreds of children and families. To find out more watch the film, and if you want to be involved during summer 2015 please get in touch.

Sounds good... not too far away from Lancashire
Proving our Value: the merits and perils of current approaches
Adopting 'outcomes-based approaches' are an increasing necessity for those of us seeking external funding for our work. Our day will explore the virtues and vices of various approaches and seek to develop thinking about Christian frameworks for understanding outcomes and how we evaluate our work. The day will include 'Open Space' style discussions and workshops on specific approaches.
With: Speakers and workshops from: Frontier Youth Trust, Worth Unlimited, StreetSpace and Cre8 Maccelsfield.
When: Wednesday 4th March 2015, 10 am to 4 pm
Where:St Barnabas Church, Lyme Avenue, Macclesfield SK11 7RS
Who is the event for:Youth Workers and managers who want to explore the issue of outcomes and how they can fit with Christian youth work and values driven organisations.
Cost: The event is free but we reserve the right to charge £25 if you fail to turn up on the day.
Food: Drinks will be provided but you will need to bring your own lunch (it's a free event after all!)
