About Us:
WE’RE HERE TO HELP, FOR FREE, BY CREATING A SAFE SPACE TO SHARE THE ISSUES OF LIFE AND FAITH WITH STUDENTS IN YOUR SCHOOL.
Learning from twenty years of experience serving schools in the local area, Southport and Area Schools Worker Trust are shaping their current drive to best meet the needs of the younger generation of Southport and local educational establishments. We
call it “Safe Space”.
We describe a “Safe Space” as a time or place set aside to journey with young people through issues of life & faith, whether they be spiritual, moral, social
or cultural, in an environment that is very fun, non-threatening, and non- judgmental, giving young people safe time out to be loved & helped.
Our most proven way of achieving this is in secondary schools and FE colleges is
through lunchtime clubs, run by trained and safeguarded SASW Trust staff and volunteers, all at no cost to the school or FE college.
This project comes at no cost to local schools and is entirely a provision of the generosity of local churches and larger grants awarded to Southport & Area Schools Worker Trust for their work across Southport and beyond, with many different projects serving local schools.
Our team (two staff and multiple volunteers) have provided various activities across the vast majority of Southport primary and secondary schools over the last 20 years. Amongst the many benefits to this, the main strength here is how we can be known as familiar faces to support local young people right through their school journey.
As a project of Southport & Area Schools Worker Trust, we are open about our identity as a faith-based charity. Our work exists out of the generosity and inspiration of local Southport Christians and their churches. However, any faith element to our content delivered in schools is entirely done so in accordance with curricular objectives. We take a professional approach to ensure our provision to schools works to reverse any trend in opinion over faith-based educational input carrying any inappropriate, radicalised agendas.
