...Are you ready?! The Summer Term is packed with all our regulars and some really cool specials, and this year we've got FOUR WEEKS of activities during the Summer Holidays, including...
ignite:
1. to set fire to; cause to burn
2. catch fire
3. heat to the point of combustion
4. provoke, excite, make passionate
ignite is all about setting young people on fire: making them passionate about achieving all they can, passionate about their community and the world, and for some, passionate about the Good News of Jesus Christ.
This site should contain everything you could ever need to know about what ignite is, what ignite does and how you can get involved.
If you're new, you might want to head to the ABOUT US section to get to know us a little better, and to learn about the four streams (MATCHES, SPARKS, FLAMES and INFERNO) of what we do.
If you're a regular, you might want to head to your stream to find out what's coming up for you, check out the calendar, or go along to the sign-up area so you can let us know what you'll be at next!
If there's info you can't find, or you just want to get in touch, head for 'Contact Us' and drop us a line...

"You are here to be light... God is not a secret to be kept."
A short note to explain our short quote...
This is something that a guy called Jesus from a place called Nazareth said, recorded in a book (sometimes called a 'gospel') about Him written by a guy called Matthew about 1900 years ago. Jesus spoke in a language called Aramaic, and Matthew wrote in a language called Hebrew, so it's been translated a bit since it was originally spoken. This translation of Jesus' words is recorded in a version of the Bible called "the Message". We think these words are *really* important; everything ignite does is about letting young people know that they are here to be lights shining in a dark world. It's pretty cool really to think that what one person said nearly 2000 years ago is still changing people's lives even today...
