Outside of St George's there are also great opportunities for young Christians to get involved in activities promoting learning, fellowship and fun.
 
Staying Alive Youth Weekend
Each year, Newcastle Diocese hosts a weekend for young people aged 12+ in Seahouses. Children spend a long weekend in the summer having fun, while learning more about their faith. The weekend is packed with interactive worship, a plethora of workshops, a project helping the local community and a live worship band, Staying Alive offers the chance for young people to explore their faith and to meet other young Christians.
