At the moment the news and events page is non-existent but hopefully this will build up over time. The website address is: www.risboroughchurches.org.uk

For further information please speak with Fran McMullan. The Club is now in its second year and is held monthly. It welcomes children from the ages of 5 to 11. The majority of the children are from non-church families.
Please invite any children of the relevant age to come along and join in the fun. Our contacts are Fran, Elaine or Victoria for further details.
The vision is for Breakout to provide a fun, caring and safe place where the children feel valued and loved and where they want to come and bring their friends. Also to provide a balanced and fun programme with lots of opportunity for children to experience the presence and power of a loving Heavenly Father who transforms lives. Fun and spiritual activities are not mutually exclusive.
