Prayer spaces in schools have helped encourage positive mental health in young people, according to pupils who have been involved in a project promoting them.
Four Church of England secondary schools in the Diocese of Durham were involved in the “reservoirs of hope” project, which started in February.
The prayer spaces were set up in The Venerable Bede Church of England Academy in Sunderland, Ian Ramsey Church of England Academy in Stockton, Whitburn Church of England Academy in Sunderland and St Aidan’s Church of England Academy in Darlington.
