The Trust sends its workers - John Froud, Mark Drake and Julie Wilkinson - to "take light into dark corners" in more than 50 schools throughout Bradford and beyond. The team provide hundreds of assemblies every year, give lessons and workshops in RE, English, Music and performing arts, run after-school clubs, projects and events, and become part of school life - all aimed at helping children and staff to find out about faith for themselves and to know that God loves them. Most of this work is done either for no fee or at a heavily subsidised cost, so that our team can visit those places that need them most regardless of ability to pay. The Trust relies on the generosity of its supporters to enable the work to take place - we literally couldn't do it without you.
LET'S MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE, SING A NEW SONG, AND BE SCRIPTURAL AS WELL AS MUSICAL AS WE RAISE FUNDS (AND THE ROOF!!)
"You can have a good laugh with them and when they talk about Jesus, they show you how Jesus can help you in school, in life, or with anything really." Year 6 pupil
"For many people in the school, children and adults alike, their lively delivery of the Christian message of love and forgiveness really does touch them in a way that other more formal acts of worship sometimes fail to do. Our school would certainly be a darker place without their contribution." Elaine Schack, Deputy Head, Clayton CE Primary School, Bradford
We would really appreciate your support - please sponsor us and help keep the light shining.
