Grace Church have teamed up with the Christian Charity Transforming Lives for Good. They are committed to making a positive to change to the lives of the young people in our society.

The vision is simple. By dedicating one coach to one child for one hour a week, we can form strong relationships with the young people and their families, and bring about positive change for that young person.

“I really feel your sessions are helping her, and for her to be able to talk to someone helps her a lot.” Parent of W

 

“Knowing I have a session of Friday, helps me get through the week!” W

 

“I love seeing you each week and I do not want it to stop because you are someone I can chat and play with” O

 

“Trusting someone is hard, but I’m happy knowing you’re coming every Monday, and we can chat through the stuff from weekend” A

 

This term I have been taught to crochet by my coached child.  They are amazing at it.  They have made all sorts including a jumper for themselves, and a bookmark for me.  At present I am learning to make a small bumble bee, my CC is an excellent teacher and praises me a lot, which I love!  Such a joy and privilege to spend time with teenagers and walk a small part of their lives with them.  Emma

Here is a little from their website:

We’re here because across the UK today, there are thousands of children who are struggling to cope. Poverty, trauma and exclusion cast long shadows, and for too many the future feels hopeless. TLG is all about helping churches to bring hope and a future to children facing heart-breaking challenges.

 

As a Christian charity, we’re confident in the difference that churches of all shapes and sizes can make in their own communities. In every town, you’ll find church communities full of ordinary people ready to make an extraordinary difference.

 

Alongside our network of partner churches, we are committed to reaching out to the most vulnerable children in the UK and seeing hope spread. With expertise in emotional wellbeing, food insecurity, and a crucial understanding of trauma-awareness underpinning all we do, we’re seeing thousands of lives transformed for good every year!
