the Borough of Enfield alone there are 17 Secondary Schools catering for over
20,000 young people. n:flame's purpose is to serve local schools in 8 North London
boroughs so young people can encounter positive Christian role models. Christian
young people from our churches are already in schools. They need help and support
as they hold firm to their faith.SCHOOLS

working week by week in local secondary schools. Working in parnership with local
churches the teams serve their local schools in 4 ways

lessons based on the current curriculum in both PSE and RE.
- Assisting
Christian students and staff by running Roots lunchtime clubs, open debates, supporting
existing CUs and setting up prayer cells.
- Offering
mentors to students with social and exclusion problems and serving schools pastorally
where requested.
- Linking
with local churches. Every team member works in a local Christian youth group
and links young people from schools to n:flame celebrations and a local discipleship
environment.
