Our children love to sing and dance and are happy to tell others about the life they lead at Bethany and their experience of life before Bethany. Their ages range from 5 yrs to 18 yrs and they will be split up into 3 groups of 10 children in each (Groups A , B and C). They will be based in Oswaldtwistle and we very much hope to visit as many organisations, (churches, schools, fellowships) in the immediate area as possible. If you are a Primary or Secondary school within 10 miles of Oswaldtwistle  then we would be happy to hear from you so that we can fit you into our schedule of places to visit. We already have over 25 ‘letters of invitation’ provided by organisations to help us obtain their Visas (these will of course take priority)
