Random is a place to come & hang out at lunchtime for pupils at Aldridge School…


It happens on Tuesday lunchtimes and normally 30-35 young people turn up each week.


It’s held at No.4 Tynings Lane, a house owned by the church next door to it…


Yep! As it happens just off the school site, you’ll need a lunchtime pass to be let out the gate… Just ask your parent or guardian to sign a letter giving their permission for you to come & take it to your House Office to get a passout. You can print off a letter here 


We eat lots of food! Donuts, strawberries, crisps, grapes, chocolate, ice creams, muffins, melons, popcorn, sausage rolls, apples, pot noodles, cookies, bananas, plus all sorts of cans, cartons & juices… All the food & drink is free – just come along & help yourself.

As it’s lunchtime in the middle of the school day, it’s dead chilled - just come & spend time with your mates. We sometimes get together for a short chat or activity
 near the end. Recently we’ve been doing ‘Random Acts of Kindness’, an easy way to do something simple for someone else to make their day a bit better…

At the end of each lunchtime there’s a chance to have a quick pray together & ask God’s help with anything that’s on our minds,
 but only if you want to - you won’t be expected to join in with that if it’s not your thing…  

A few leaders from Aldridge Youth Fellowship (AYF), a Christian youth group of over 100 young people. You can check out their website here.
Rob's a leader at AYF & is at Random each week: email him at

 or text him on 07739 878 303 if you’ve got any questions. Although Random is run by Christians, you don’t need to be a Christian or have any interest in God
 to come along – we’re just happy to provide somewhere for you to hang out at lunchtime & get to know you a bit.
The only thing we ask is that you respect the house we meet in & the other people who come along… that’s it!
