Appeals update

It’s an exciting time, with schools finishing and the holiday season getting into full swing. I hope you can find a few minutes to relax in the sunshine and read about what’s happening at SU Scotland.

In this edition of @SU we are focussing on the contribution of our incredible outdoor activity centres at Alltnacriche, Gowanbank and Lendrick Muir. These unique places and the teams based there play a mission-critical role in helping deliver our vision to see every child and young person in Scotland exploring the Bible and responding to the significance of Jesus.

Each year, they welcome around 4,000 pupils on school activity breaks, many of whom will have little or no other live experience of Christianity, not to mention the thousands more who enjoy an SU Holiday or weekend away with us or as part of a church group. Turn to page 4 to learn how young people with additional support needs enjoyed outdoor activities at Alltnacriche, just one example of many.

You can also read about new developments, some already underway and others coming soon, all made possible by the generosity of committed supporters like you.

Our SU friends in Ukraine have been encountering far greater struggles and we’ve included news from Oksana Khimich about how the Vorzel centre became a place of refuge during the invasion and how gospel work continues there in the midst of the ongoing conflict.

As we head into summer many volunteers and staff are gearing up for SU Holidays at the centres and campsites as well as Missions in communities across Scotland, not to mention the Magnitude Festival taking place at Lendrick Muir in July. You’ll find information about the Prayer Hotline on page 23, just one of many ways that you can get involved in praying for our events over the summer season.

Looking ahead to the end of the summer holidays, why not put Saturday 19 August in the diary for the Big Celebration at Lendrick Muir? Hope to see you there!
