Bringing Light and Confidence to Young People Across Surrey

Be Me Project works in local secondary schools across Surrey, helping young people build confidence, improve self-esteem and discover their purpose. Our incredible team, including members from SGSG churches, regularly visit schools to support some of the most vulnerable students — those who need someone to listen and give them tools for a better start in life. This year, we aim to work with over 500 young people.

A huge thank you to SGSG for your commitment and support. If you visited in December, you may have seen our students’ nativity interpretation on a hoodie, with the words “Jesus came to bring light to…” followed by student worries they find difficult. It was wonderful to have their work displayed.

We’re excited about the year ahead. A pilot transition programme will support pupils moving from primary to secondary school, starting in Reigate and aiming to expand to Therfield School in September. We are also hosting our first online parents’ evening this month, meeting families whose children have taken part in Be Me courses. In addition, a local school invited us to run sessions for mums needing extra support, led by our wonderful Be Me leaders who are all part of St George’s congregation.

With thanks to The Be Me Project Team and Sue Gledhill (SGSG Church link)

Ashtead Churches Together (ACT)

Together with St Michael’s Roman Catholic Church and Ashtead Baptist Church, we worship and serve in the local community.

The Good Friday Pond Service is held just off Barnett Wood Lane, and the Remembrance Sunday Service by the war memorial is deeply moving. We celebrate our unity with an annual service.

Food is also important, with our monthly Men’s Breakfast, and the Ashtead Village Day Tea Tent.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’” Jesus

— Matthew 25:35-36
