How we started and what we do

 

The Boys' Brigade has been around for over a century, founded by Sir William Alexander Smith in 1883. Our founder aimed to combine fun activities and the importance of christian values in young people.It was the first voluntary uniformed youth movemet of its kind.

 

Working with children from ages 5 - 18, we aim to provide a safe and stimulating environment for young people to enjoy a variety of activities, while learning about British and Christian values that support them in their future.

 

How our company works

 

We engage young people in the local area and give them an opportunity to learn new skills and build new friendships. All our volunteers undertake a disclosure check as part of their registration and are trained to provide a safe and caring environment for all.

 

Why should you join?

 

Your child joining will give them the opportunity to be part of something worldwide. We bring young people together and do activities that young people may not get a chance to experience.
