strategy of creating an environment where parents are encouraged lo actively participate with the activities
alongside their children. while still allowing lime lo gel lo know each other, continues lo be successful. The
weekly event saw an average of 16 families engaging the majority of whom are not church members, and who
learned of Slay and Play through support workers and word of mouth.

and a group for new and expeclanl mothers.
Cluster leaders oversee the small group leaders. They are responsible for supporting small group leaders by
being the first point of contact when difficult pastoral or relational needs arise within their groups, and offering
guidance around mulliplicalion. They also check in with the small group leaders to make sure they are being
cared for and supported. The cluster leaders are supported through a lermly catch-up through their sile pastor

people and help fulfil the aims of the Charity. The value they bring is incalculable and many of these volunteers
serve in more than one area of Church life. For some they lake days of annual leave al a lime (like the DTI
