This pandemic has ever more impacted and exposed national health and wellbeing issues, so there is an opportunity to band together with other public bodies and partners to impact wellbeing through physical activity and in doing so reach people we often struggle to engage with.

Even amongst the uncertainty of recent months, there’s one thing that is certain to bring hope and joy and that’s a young people’s day out. Rounding off an eventful summer, PSALMS (Putting Sport Alongside Local Ministries) hosted two faith-adventure days for a total of 63 young people from across Gloucestershire, combining the work of PSALMS and connecting Christian youth provisions.
The opportunity to explore Hebrews 13:8, ‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever’, gave a wonderful opportunity for young people to process the last six months of lockdown, recognising where Christ has been at work in their lives during this time and reaffirming how He is with us in each moment and will continue to be as they prepare to go back into schools. The day had a brilliant variety of activities, from a reflection trail and campfire sessions, to Paddle Boarding, Archery and Pilates supported by WhatSUP instructors and Kay Skinner Fitness.
The success of bringing together both PSALMS and Diocese wide contacts led to a wonderful day for the young people with highlights including the young people ‘feeling cared for’ in sessions that were ‘constantly both reflective and practical fun sessions’ and looking forward to the next opportunity to join in with their local PSALMS and Church groups, some of which were looking to go to their youth club for the first time after this event.
