Our work in schools goes on throughout the year and provides us with great opportunities to tell young people about our faith and the work of Ambassadors around the world. We aim to serve schools through excellent coaching, assemblies, lunchtime clubs, and Scripture Unions.Â
Currently, we have afterschool programmes at Downshire and Bocombra Primary Schools. For more information or inquiries as to how your school can participate, contact us.
Football Tournaments
We run a range of football tournaments throughout the year that bring people together from across the community.
- Our youth tournaments provide fun, competitive opportunities for young players to develop their skills, build friendships, and enjoy the game in a positive environment.
- We also host school tournaments, giving pupils the chance to represent their schools, experience teamwork, and engage in healthy competition.
- A highlight of our calendar is the annual Churches Cup, which brings together teams from local churches for a day of football, fellowship, and community spirit.
Across all our tournaments, our aim is to create well-organised, welcoming events that reflect our values and use football as a platform to connect people and share hope.
