Isle of Wight Youth For Christ is a local, Island-based charity funded by a number of churches from right across the Island, and by a large number of individual supporters.  The charity employs a small team of workers who, alongside lots of local volunteers, help churches on the Island reach out to, and connect with, young people in a relevant way.
