It makes grants to teenagers or young people, regardless of their denomination, to assist towards travel or maintenance costs in connection with activities in which they will meet Christians from different countries, cultures and denominations and thus gain a wider vision of the Kingdom of God. Grants are only made to people who live in the parish of Ringmer (or in the United Benefice of Wolverton with Norton Lindsey and Langley in the Diocese of Coventry). |
