  • GB EF Student Guide

    The European Fellowship are producing a guide for all school-leavers in GB, providing help & advice on continuing their Christian journey as they move into work / university / college.

    The book is to be written for girls by girls, so they are looking to recruit contributors to provide accounts of their own personal encounters with particular issues or problems when they left school/went to university, etc. If you feel you have a story to tell, or know of someone who might, please see the link for more information and contact details.

Alternative Recipes... we know a lot of girls out there have wheat, gluten, nut, egg or dairy intolerances, so don't let them miss out on the cooking or treats. These are good enough for EVERYONE to eat!

ALWAYS CHECK the ingredient labels of manufactured ingredients, that they are fully suitable for use when avoiding certain food groups: e.g. Although the list of ingredients may appear nut free, some of them may have been produced in a factory where they process nuts for other products and would not be suitable for anyone with nut intolerances.

  • Chocolate Muffins - (WHEAT / GLUTEN / NUT free / & can be DAIRY free too, see recipe for details)
  • Flapjacks - ( GLUTEN / NUT / EGG free / & can be WHEAT / DAIRY free too, see recipe for details)
