21 - 23 February - Youth Trip to Abernethy
Sam & I are taking a group of Young people and their families to Abernethy Nethybridge, a Christian Outdoor Centre in Scotland in February 2020. There are currently 20 of us in the party. Sam, being a ski instructor, thinks we wouldn’t want to go for any longer than a few days.
We greatly value the youngsters in our church and to make it possible for them to go on this residential trip, we have run various events to raise enough money to cover the costs of the young people. We needed to raise a total of £2500 and we are so 
pleased to say that we have hit our target!!
With Eva(!), Sam and I have already done a sponsored walk from Clacton Pier back to Walton (7 miles of walking!!) and some of those going on the trip did a whole day of car washing which raised £221!
There was a Quiz Night on Saturday, 7 September and we held a coffee morning on Saturday, 23 November which went incredibly well!
The young people have done so well in organising and running these events, we can’t wait to head up to Scotland on the 21 February.
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed and supported the young people this year as they were fundraising.
If you have any questions, please contact me by email. - Lauren
