In the charity's own words
Our vision is to see Good News taken to every young person in Gloucestershire. This will be done in a variety of ways, through many different people. Our approach is to enhance the personal, social and spiritual development of young people through encounters with Christianity. We believe this can only be achieved when we work in partnership with churches, charities and other youth organisations.
