STAY
St A
Our awesome
action-packed
summer of fun,
games, fun, sport,
and more fun!
What’s been happening with the St Andrew’s
Young People aka STAY since early June? Well
let me tell you … or feel free to follow us on
Instagram @stayonfriday
As we brought the STAY schools work, STAY on
Sunday and STAY on Friday to a brief close for the
summer holidays we ramped up with an awesome
programme of activities, games, sports, trips and
loads of fun!
STAY Summer Activities
We ran some amazing activities for all the local
young people and amazingly we had over 60
different young people attend! Every activity was
full to capacity and we had so much fun together.
Some of the best moments as a youth worker
are seeing young people try new things, learn
new skills, make new friends and step out of
their comfort zone to see what else is out there.
We saw this happen time and again this summer,
with young people coming along to activities yet
knowing no-one, young people swimming for the
first time and young people trying new sports and
games that they’d never tried before, such as kubb
and uni-hoc. Take a look at our activities list (right)
to see what we got up to.
The photos speak for themselves and it goes
without saying that the young people who came
along for the summer activities were polite, well
mannered and lovely company. They excelled at
throwing themselves into each of the activities,
they welcomed newcomers and they made new
friends across the parish and the local area.
A huge well done from me to the young people,
the parents and thanks to all the venues that
hosted us so well. — Westy!
