Festive
FE and Sixth Form Initiative

Whatever your view on Christian Groups/Christian Unions we hope that this new initiative will be of value and help everyone connected to FE and Sixth Formis. Though still at a preparation stage, launch is not due until September, it would be good if as many people as possible knew about Festive

Toni Coulton (D2E planning team) is one of a core group that has taken the decision - now is the time to begin a work wholly dedicated to stand alongside those who want to have a christian witness in their local College. To begin with the plan is to develop an appropriate interactive network to resource and support all students, staff and supporters. Everyone will be encouraged to be part of this for example some may ask for prayer others agree to pray! All this will be in partnership with UCCF and Scripture Union.

It is a big task - but we have a great God who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.
We imagine Christian people and groups in every place where FE and Sixth Form students study.
We imagine local Christians who will stand alongside to support and encourage in their local college/sixth form.
We imagine a good website run by a godly person.
We imagine one or more evangelists to resource outreach possibilities.
We imagine no one feeling that they are doing all this alone.

We imagine you want to be part of Festive! So contact us via our website www.festive.org.uk or email info@festive.org.uk (As this is a new site you may have difficulty getting it via Google so enter the address directly into the address box at the head your internet page.)

Festive is in the process of applying for charitable status.

Toni Coulton

Toni’s background is teaching Religious Studies in a large comprehensive school where she had experience of helping this age group to explore faith and run extra-curricular activities. Whilst her own children were growing up she worked with the Boys’ Brigade as a national trainer and then took on 12 years working with UCCF. For eight of these she was the National Co-ordinator for FE and so most of her work was with the 16–19 year olds in the CUs. Having recently completed her MA in Mission with a dissertation on support for Christian Unions in FE colleges she is now part of a team lauching Festive - an FE and Sixth Form initiative offering support to Christian Students and Staff.
