Soul Survivor Watford youth are a group of young people in the Watford area who want to love God, love one another and love those around us. We do this as a family, journeying together with lots of fun, laughter and encouragement! If you don’t already have a church family, we’d love you to join us - all are welcome.
We meet in two age groups:
Younger Youth for those in school years 7-9
and
Older Youth for those in Years 9-13
Below you can see what we have on for both of our youth groups and if you would like to get involved, or if you have any questions about what’s going on, the best things to do is contact us. We would love to say hello, get to know you and chat about how you can get involved.
We can't wait to see you!

Youth Drop-In at Café No.7
WHEN: Every Thursday during term-time, 3:30pm–5:30pm.
WHERE: Soul Survivor Café No.7
Our Youth Drop-In is a safe, welcoming space for young people to land after school — somewhere to relax, have fun, and feel like they belong. Running every Thursday during term time for school Years 9–13, it’s a low-pressure, come-and-go environment where young people can hang out, chat with youth leaders, and get involved in games and activities. It takes place in the Soul Survivor Café from 3:30–5:30pm, with free toasties, sweet treats, and drinks available throughout — because post-school snacks are non-negotiable.
There’s no structured programme here — just space to unwind and feel safe. On a young person’s first visit, our team will help them settle in, explain how things work, and collect emergency contact details.
*Parent/carer consent is required, along with any relevant medical or dietary info, which will be shared ahead of launch.
The Youth Drop-In starts on 5 February, runs weekly during term time, and young people are welcome to arrive at any point during the session. Got questions? Drop Leah, our Youth Pastor, an email at Lbucko@soulsurvivorwatford.co.uk.

Socials & summer trip
We view socials as an integral part to building a good, fun community with our young people! Over the year we do various outings, ranging from a milkshake at McD’s to trampolining in Milton Keynes. Recently we’ve been to DTI festival, had a picnic in the park for YY and a BBQ for OY. To find out about future plans, just message the team!
Socials are always great opportunity to invite friends along - we always want our youth events to be a friendly and welcoming place for all!
