Balerno Youth We would like to thank Adrian & Tara Devlin; Gill Menzies & Kirsten Thomson for helping out with Balerno youth for the last 3 months as we appointed Jonny over the summer and gave him some transition time. They have done a fantastic job at reconnecting with youth on Friday nights and Sunday mornings as in person events have resumed. Jonny has now taken on full responsibility for Balerno Youth and can be contacted on jonny.slatter@stmungos.org. Please note youth@stmungos.org has been deactivated.

All households with a young person in P6-S5 are welcome to join, whether you have joined the previous sessions or not. Check the email sent on Tuesday with a link to sign up, or contact andrea.brewster@stmungos.org if you have any questions.
