Buntingford and Royston are two small towns situated in the rural districts of East and North Hertfordshire respectively, located in the east corner of the UK.   Map

Between the two towns there are three middle schools, which cover years 5 - 8 (ages 9 - 12) and two upper schools incorporating years 9 onwards (13+). These schools have approximately 2600 young people attending them, drawing pupils from not only Buntingford and Royston but towns and villages surrounding them.

Based on national data we estimate only 4% of these young people will come into regular contact with the Christian church, whatever the denomination, leaving roughly 2500 that have little or no contact with the church.

Our uniting belief is that young people matter to God and therefore they should matter to us.  If the young people are not coming to the church, then we want the church to go out to them.

It is with this thought that the BRAVE trust was founded in early 2005 to employ Christians to work with the schools in providing a range of services, including conducting assemblies, lunchtime clubs, occasional RE and PSHE lessons and one-off events.
