Ttee8 are conscious that ow children and young people will inevitably grow up into the older Age group (19- 29's), and that their parents own engagement will bridge IK)th str¢ams. There is a welcome overlap in staff and volunteers auoss the participating partie5, which it is hoped will continue to the benefit of all engaging in the work and ministry.
