At the beginning of the year, we had big plans for events and activities to host at Saints around the Christmas period. But as has been the story for so many during the rest of this challenging year, we had to adapt. We have seen how Coronavirus has wreaked havoc in the lives of many, and we decided to do what we could to spread a little joy!

Every Wednesday from the 22nd July to the 26th August, in partnership with YWAM The Kings Lodge, the Saints team ran free family events outside the building.

Children engaged in a variety of activities, from a bouncy castle, to decorating your own biscuit, from making sushi to chalk street art, ci
