Our thriving youth group, Youth Zone, is run on behalf of St Nicolas' and  St Mary's Churches for children in Year 5 and above. All children are welcome irrespective of which church they attend.

We meet on the second Saturday of every month at St Nicolas and St Mary School between 6.00–8.00 pm. We also have outings and charity fundraising activities throughout the year.

Youth Zone has a motto – 'Having Fun, Helping Others'. The emphasis of our club nights is very much on the children 'Having Fun' in a controlled environment while encouraging fellowship and teamwork.

We also aim to encourage the children to 'Help Others' both by helping each other in the activities and outings we arrange and in our charity fund raising. Youth Zone has raised over £3,900 for local charities in recent years.

Many activities are enjoyed at our club nights including football, badminton, table tennis, dodgeball, benchball and lots of other games and competitions. The children also enjoy many other activities including making sweets and pizzas, as well as fun trying karaoke and other quieter games. Games of Bingo are always popular.

Recently we have enjoyed trips to the theatre to see 'Joseph', Ten Pin Bowling, the Low Ropes course at Adur Outdoor Activities centre, and the Royal Pavilion Ice Rink at Christmas.
