Upstairs in Thwaites House you'll find the Chapel – a light-filled space for meetings, worship and reflection. With kitchenette, full AV and stunning views, it's perfect for gathering. The acoustics are incredible too – everyone's singing voice sounds amazing here!

FAQs

Let us put your mind at rest.  Please do get in touch if you have any other questions.

Can my child ring home if they need to speak to me?

Unless it's really urgent, we encourage them not to. Very few children miss their families to the extent that they need to talk with them while they're with us. However we would, of course, facilitate this in a situation where it was necessary.

Does my child need to bring any money or snacks/sweets with them?

We have a CYE shop which sells things like CYE caps, keyrings, pens etc. We normally recommend about £5-10 spending money for a residential stay. Please do not send your child with sweets or snacks as they will have plenty of food (including amazing home-made cake) whilst they're here!

Is there parking at CYE?

Yes but it is limited. If you are dropping off your child, we would ask that you do this as quickly as possible. The car park is shared with Cobnor Activity Centre and can get very congested at pick up and drop off times.

Are your staff DBS checked?

Yes, all staff and volunteers are DBS checked. If you would like to discuss anything to do with our Child Protection Policy, please contact the office.

There are some things I need you to know about my child before they come to CYE (medical/need to know/bedwetting/allergies/SEND information). How is it best to share this information with you?

For your child to have the best and safest time possible with us, it is important that you alert us to anything you think we need to know about their needs. There are very few things that we haven't come across before and our staff are excellent at discreetly supporting, encouraging and keeping an eye out for whatever help is needed.

My child left something behind after their visit to CYE. Can you help?

We keep lost property items for a maximum of 1 week before giving them to charity. In order to return them we ask you to arrange a collection using the Royal Mail website. They will be able to collect the item from CYE and get it to you. Please contact the office to arrange this.
