As you know, the intermediate years of a young person’s life are no-doubt challenging. Transitioning from a child into a teenager, wanting more independence yet still in need of a lot of guidance is a confusing time. These young people are faced everyday with decisions and pressures that will begin to define their futures. It is during this age that they are swamped with media, societal pressure, and the desire to impress. 

IGGY exists to help young-teenagers journey their way through all the opportunities and challenges that they face and to help them build a strong foundation for the future. We aim to create an exciting and inclusive environment. A place to feel safe, welcome and part of a second family.

We count it a great privilege each week to have a role in the lives of these young people who attend IGGY and we want to assure you that we take very seriously the responsibility we have been given to develop and lead them. And although there is no greater voice in the life of a child than that of a parent, we will continue to do our utmost to ensure the encouragement and growth of young people entrusted to us.

Our heart is to partner with you and assist each young person the best we can.
