Flame 2025

Faith

On the 15th of March, we attended the CYMFED Flame event at Wembley, London, bringing 30 students for an unforgettable day. The theme was about reminding students they are "unstoppable" while helping them discover and strengthen their faith. We heard inspiring talks from speakers like Bear Grylls, David Wells, and Isaac Harvey MBE, and enjoyed electrifying music from Guvna B and Adenike, with students jumping and dancing with excitement. A powerful liturgy led by Cardinal Vincent Nichols brought everyone together in prayer. With 10,000 young people present, it was the largest Catholic event in the UK. Our students were exceptionally well-behaved and respectful while having an amazing time. One Year 8 student said, “The Flame event was the best day ever! I felt so inspired and part of something bigger than myself. I’m definitely unstoppable now!” It was a day of faith, fun, and lasting inspiration.
