Trafford YFC have been working alongside the local youth leaders in the area on 'UPRISING'. Uprising has been running since 2009 and exists to equip and encourage young people in Manchester to raise up a new generation for God

It is for young people of all ages and all churches to come together and meet with God, to worship him and to pray for each other and their communities. It is a space for young people to explore the gifts God has given them and to build in confidence as they step out leading each other in worship, teaching and prayer.

We are excited that this event has become a partnership between churches across the area and is giving young people an opportunity to meet others who share their faith. Each event sees between 80-100 young people gather together and meet with God.

'UPRISING: On The Streets' is an event dreamed up by young people from across Trafford, and supported by their churches and youth leaders.

The big idea is to make Saturday 14th July a good day for local people, through street-based projects run by young people (under 18s).

Following worship and project safety training at St Mary’s, Sale, in the morning, young people will be taken by minibus to a local project in one of two categories:
'Street Clean Up': Litter picking streets, paths and sidewalks.
'Random Acts Of Kindness': Completing a faith survey with members of the public in town centres, packing bags for free in supermarkets.
