Youth Work Volunteer and Time for God volunteer-young people often from abroad on their gap year-contribute much to this work via Noah's Ark for under fives, lunch clubs at St Andrew's School, Scouts,  Explorers, Beavers, Guides,  Rangers, Brownies and St Andrew's Club - in fact something for all ages.  An annual Sleep Out and lots of services and other activities for children take place, Youth Forums giving young people a chance to make their voices heard and make input on what happens in church.  School  visits in church have created much fun and enjoyment and annual Easter Pilgrimage encourages fellowship in the best sense.  There is always a Children's craft based activity table at the back of church  during the 9.00am and 10.00am services.  Further assistance from adults and teenagers is always welcome.

MINISTRY TO SCHOOLS

St Andrew's School and Newnham Middle School are linked with St Andrew's on a regular basis.  Music has been taken to a group of autistic children.  The St Andrew's Schools Trail is a multi-sensory and participatory experience, whose aim is to welcome children to the church and make them feel comfortable.  Amongst other things, they role-play the calling of Andrew and a baptism, and give a reading and a mini-sermon.  They take away with them a personalized certificate of attendance, as well as a small chocolate egg.
