"In some areas of our work, particularly with the younger age group, the educational aspect of what we do is obvious. The Adventure Service Challenge Scheme , which for several years we have been providing for 9-11 year-olds, and in the last year introduced for 11-12 year-olds, is a good example in this respect. The Scheme gives young people the opportunity to learn more about their community and their environment; it enables them to develop a whole range of skills, from first aid to cookery and model-making. And always there is a practical emphasis." Birmingham Youth Leader
"ASC works well because of the strong roots in local needs; it has stood the test of time. It is a good story and good news." Archbishop of Canterbury (1985)
