St Benet's Chaplaincy Project

The St Benet's Chaplaincy Project is a project that is working with local churches to build school chaplaincy teams across schools in the St Benet's Multi Academy Trust (south), centred around the Harleston Sancroft Academy. Integrate Youth for Christ staff are leading the project and are working closely with local churches to develop the chaplaincy teams and increase the connections between churches and schools.

Power Up training and networking

A series of early evening get togethers for a regular time of socialising, eating some food and to 'Power Up' by watching a training video or two each time (they vary in length).

These are on Tuesdays in term time 5:30-6:30pm, at The Hub on Anna Gurney Close, Thetford.

Come every week, or alternatively, dip in and out for the weeks that are most convenient or topics that interest you.

Youth Cafes

We run a range of youth cafes in various local churches in our area.

Integrate Youth For Christ run cafes in parish churches in Burston and Banham as well as a youth café at Diss Salvation Army Community Church and another one at The Hub, Thetford (known as Pulse Youth café).
