On behalf of the trustees

Steve Knowles the Director of The Family Trust

welcomes you to our website.

The Family Trust is a growing work serving Primary Schools in the Maidstone and Medway areas of Kent for the last 20 years, now extending into Swale.

The vision of The Family Trust is Helping children to discover that Christianity is relevant to their daily lives.’

The Family Trust currently provides assemblies in some 150 schools, resourcing and enabling Kingsquad Clubs in nearly 40 of these schools, together with a variety of different lesson plans at festival times.
In addition
The Family Trust sponsor a number of other activities across the area, for example, the very popular Chequer Tree Camps held in the summer holidays.

Our team includes educational professionals and others with specialist skills, all with many years practical experience working with children. They are supported by a team of Associates who share in the work. In addition many individuals from local churches offer their time freely as partners to help run Kingsquads in their local school. All are highly dedicated, working tirelessly to ensure every child has the opportunity of hearing the fascinating truths from the bible.  
All workers are CRB checked and follow our Child Protection Policy.
