At St Michael’s, we strive to be a welcoming place for people of all ages. Below, you can find out about a number of activities for children and young people which St Michael’s is involved in.
St Michael’s Church is committed to the care and safeguarding of everyone in our community.

Further safeguarding information can be viewed on the Diocese of Newcastle website.
