Kids & families
A new adventure awaits in 2025! Focus Kids will be diving ‘Under the Sea’ to learn all about the story of Jonah and discover God’s kindness. Focus Kids will have an action-packed programme full of games, stories, worship, crafts and moments - it’s the best way to kickstart the Summer Holidays.
We can’t wait to welcome your family to Focus! Watch this space as we release programme information to get your child excited for Focus 2025.
If you’ve never been to Focus before, why not buddy up with a family in your church who can share all their hints and tips?
We very much hope that Focus will be a blessing to you and your children.
We can’t wait to welcome your family to Focus!

Our Space: 1–10s
(Morning session only)
Our Space is a venue for children aged 10 years or younger who have any kind of additional need. We take ‘additional needs’ to mean requiring extra or different help from that given to other children of the same age.
Children who come to Our Space will have one-to-one support, and they and their parents will be able to work out with their own special one-to-one helper (AKA ‘buddy’) how they would like to spend the sessions – in the Focus Kids programme in their relevant age group or in Our Space, or in a combination of these. On the booking form you should have been able to fill out a form with details about your child and how we can best support them. If you want to share any more information or ask any questions please contact our team on focuskids@htb.org and we’d love to help support you.
Our Space will be led by a great group of leaders and ‘buddies’, and the activities will follow the Focus Kids themes.
