Each year we take groups of young people away on Personal Development Residentials. Not only are the activities designed to stimulate and challenge, but the very nature of living together as a small community for a few days can be very demanding. The residentials are not holidays and all who participate experience situations beyond their normal comfort zones. We also make them great fun to ensure that all those who take part engage at a deeper level. Participants are involved in the planning and implementation of each residential.

The main centre we use is St George’s House (SGH) in North Devon. The staff at SGH are highly committed to the groups we bring and are superb role models throughout our visit.

We charge the young people to attend the trip but funds are raised each year to subsidise it for all and provide further help for those who need further financial assistance.
