Who we are

Ignite is a Christian charity based in Alnwick, Northumberland. We have a strong focus on youth and schools work, striving to serve our local community with love and action.

"Inspiring faith, releasing potential and empowering action"

We believe that all young people should be encouraged to think about spiritual matters while recognising that they need the space to make their own choices as to what to believe.

We desire to raise the aspirations of young people and facilitate their healthy and full development.

We wish to help young people become active in the community and develop into mature and responsible citizens.


We are supported by many committed volunteers including local church leaders, young leaders, parents and grandparents. Jessica McArdle is our Youth and Schools Worker. Her contact details can be found here.
