What? BSD (Brighter School of Discipleship) is an amazing opportunity for people from all backgrounds and age groups to join a fun, diverse and empowering community of people who want to explore faith together and learn more about God and themselves as disciples. We are project governed by Wigan Deanery trust in the Liverpool Diocese of the Church of England.

At BSD we champion people, help them build up their confidence, encourage them to step out of their comfort zone and most of all invest in them and their discipleship. We exist to encourage and equip people to disciple others and reach people with the message of Jesus. We want to see disciples who make disciples. Find out more about BSD and the different courses we offer on our website: https://bsdengland.co.uk

Why? We have an annual fundraiser that all of our students join in with in order to help BSD become self-sustaining. Raising funds this way helps to keep students’ fees low and enables us to provide internal sponsorship which means that those who could not afford the fees never have to miss out.

Check out this video to see the impact of sponsorship on two of our former students: https://youtu.be/6btzx4NkmQM

If you want to do more than just support us one off, you can absolutely do so! Why not sponsor a student for a whole year? These are the different options:

⁃ Under 18-year-old: £250 (for whole year)

⁃ Over 18-year-old: £500 (for whole year)

This can be paid in a one-off donation or as a monthly donation. Find out more here: https://forms.gle/BdDuYdEa4Zisviwz7

How? All of our students and others from the BSD community are going to take on individual challenges such as 5k a day, running/walking a 10K, putting on a tabletop sale and so on. That way there are many different opportunities for you to support or even come along and fundraise with us! We will be introducing the different challenges people are doing on here over the next few weeks.

Where is the money going?

⁃ Sponsorships and reducing sign up cost for students
