Contraflow
Contraflow was originated by the local churches in Helensburgh and the surrounding area, when a group of representatives got together in early 1997 to discuss what could be done for the youth of the town. After much consideration, contact was made with Scripture Union and a committee was formed under the title of ‘Helensburgh Area Christian Youth Project'.
In May 1998 a charitable trust was formed, with the name 'Contraflow' as the working title for the project.
Funding for the project has come from a number of avenues, namely individual giving (including covenants and gift aid), fund raising, and direct support of our local churches.
We cover an area from Arrochar in the North to Cardross in the South – Kilcreggan in the West to Luss in the West.
Our Vision
To share God's Love with young people in the area and to see them responding to the significance of Jesus through:
- Exploring the Bible with the children and young people
- Building relationships with the young people and their families
- Supporting youth activities in the churches
- Our passion and enthusiasm for the work is inspired by the Great Commission, which Jesus gave his disciples
