SASWT Schools & Sports Projects

SASWT Schools & Sports Projects Christian organisation raising funds for local youth & sports leaders to serve the schools in Southport both in personnel and multimedia resource.

We are a Scripture Union Local Mission Partner working in partnership with the Pais Movement, and set up in 1999 by churches and Christians in Southport and Formby, who wanted to serve their local schools. For two decades, the majority of schools across Southport, Formby and surrounding areas have benefitted through assemblies, lessons, presentations and extra-curricular clubs and activities. Thes

e have been delivered by our employed schools worker, a team of local church volunteers, a Pais Project team of gap year apprentices, and most recently a part time sports ministry leader. Our aim is to see this work continue, grow and develop through working in partnership with local schools and local churches, in order to see that great impact across Southport in the years to come, which is very much in our hearts and prayers.

📚 NEW SOUTHPORT CREATIVE WRITING COMPETITION FOR KS2 & KS3 ✍️

Could a young writer you know see their name and story in a real, professionally printed book?

Southport & Area Schools Worker Trust is excited to launch Something Miraculous? — a creative writing competition inviting children and young people to write an original story of no more than 500 words in which something miraculous happens.

Their miracle could be enormous or almost unnoticed; mysterious, funny, dramatic, faith-inspired, fantastical or surprisingly ordinary. It might bring hope, transform a life, answer a deep longing or suggest that life contains more than we can explain.
Every young writer decides what “miraculous” means in their story.

🌟 100 selected stories will be professionally published in:
Something Miraculous? — Stories of Wonder by Southport’s Young Writers
One overall winner will be announced at the book launch at Christ Church Southport during Books Alive on Friday 30 October. Following the free Miracles Alive interactive storytelling sessions, the winning story will be read aloud to a live audience!

WHO CAN ENTER?
Young writers in KS2 or KS3 who live, attend school or have another clear connection with the Southport area.

DEADLINE
11.59pm on Friday 9 October 2026.

HOW TO ENTER
A parent or carer submits the story directly through our website, where you’ll also find the full rules and writing guidance:
🔗 https://www.saswtrust.com/miracle

Schools, churches, teachers, youth leaders, parents, grandparents and everyone who knows a young storyteller: please share this post, tag your school or church, or send it directly to a family.

Schools and churches don’t need to organise or administer entries — simply help young writers discover the opportunity.
One share could provide the encouragement that puts a child’s name in a real book.

Walk Through the Bible is today’s largest global network of Bible teachers, presenting fun and engaging overviews of the Bible to all sorts of audiences. The ‘OT Mini’ Course is a particular set of five RE lessons giving an overview of the Old Testament for Year 5 and/or Year 6, through 40 short stories, each with memorable hand signs. The lessons tie in really closely with Understanding Christianity on the Church of England’s KS2 curriculum. David (Tabz) is trained by WTTB and has worked with them to offer OT Mini locally in three of our local primary schools.

An award-winning, continuous worshipping community of children (and often their parents) centred around sport, team games, sung worship, Bible discussion and group prayer.
Sweaty Church is a programme we run through our Good Sport project for exploring Collective Worship through active games. We have seen it work as a lunchtime club, after-school club or even fitting into lesson time, but it has proven most popular and effective as after school.

Impact Youth is a community youth project we help to facilitate in the Ainsdale area, which aims to take the ethos and success of our secondary school Safe Spaces and shine this same light into the local community through a wonderful church partnership.
Currently meeting in the cafe/lounge and sports hall at Ainsdale Methodist Church, we transform the space once a week into a youth venue with big screens, games consoles, lights, music, chill-out space and a variety of sports.
Around half way through the evening, we provide a small meal and cake, followed by “Cake Space” – a chance where we gather all the young people together to chat over cake and drinks, build community in a fun way and discuss our ‘Rooted’ question of the week from Scripture Union.

Our lunchtime ‘Safe Spaces’ are key to our work in secondary schools, as we pop-up our gazebo setup out on the school yard, most lunchtimes speaking to over 100 students in each of the five main Southport schools who come to check in with us weekly. As Christian workers and volunteers, we aim to create a safe space for those students to explore the big issues of life and faith. We provide an opportunity for them to rate their mental health and wellbeing with our traffic light system (data which the school leadership then use to shape their pastoral care), to explore the roots of how they are feeling, and explore positive practices. We find as we embark on this journey with so many young people across our five main secondary schools, it has become a great platform for building trusted relationships, where deeper issues of life and faith are regularly discussed very naturally.

It’s Your Move’ is an interactive, fun-packed introduction to the world of secondary school based on a resource from Scripture Union. Because we work as youth workers in secondary schools across Southport, we see it as a top priority to offer this presentation to year 6s every year to help them with their move.
We dispel some of the common worries around secondary school transition with many years of wisdom. Due to our uniquely consistent role across both stages of their school life, we reassure them with our promise to help them through the whole process, heavily promoting our secondary school Safe Spaces to explore the big issues of life and faith.

One of last week's highlights from Simon: "Last week we did an end of year prayer spaces day at Bishop David Shepherd. We did six prayer spaces going through the Lords Prayer and we saw the entire school. While the day was busy seeing everyone it was great seeing kids of all ages from Reception to Year 6 taking prayer seriously and wanting to pray to God. There was one specific prayer station where they had to pray for somewhere on the map for God's kingdom to come. This led to some great conversations around what God's kingdom is and how there are people in real need of prayer around the world. It opened up the conversations for some to talk about family in other countries they know are struggling and wanting God to help them."

Every year we produce a fresh 45-minute production from scratch for the primary schools of Southport and beyond. Our staff and volunteers tour from school to school throughout December taking the show on the road and performing up to 20 times to both Key Stage 1 and 2. From Frozen, to The Greatest Snowman, to superheroes, to the Lion King, to whatever other themes we’ve been able to dream up, our productions have been touring Southport & beyond since 1999!
An incredible amount of preparation work goes into each year’s show, especially given the high level of multimedia production. The last three years of productions were also adapted for full length video, professionally edited and uploaded online for everyone to watch. We are always thrilled to hear the great feedback from families who have watched it together at home. Here they are free for your viewing pleasure:
