This summer, St Alban’s Church in Windy Nook hosted a holiday club that brought children together to explore creativity, build friendships, and grow in confidence. The club was funded by the government’s Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF) and Communities Together Durham, and delivered in partnership with theatre company Damn Cheek.
Last week, Bishop Sarah was delighted to join Christian community workers from across our Diocese at an event organised by Communities Together Durham.
Two schoolboys braved the winter chill to sleep over in their local church in support of young people in Africa.
