Children and schools in Blackpool are having to join waiting lists for Christian schools clubs as demand has far exceeded expectations for the groups based around Scripture Union’s award-winning app, Guardians of Ancora, it was reported in October.
The clubs, which run at lunchtimes and after school, identified Guardians of Ancora as the perfect fit to engage their target age ranges with biblical stories in a fun and relevant way. Scripture Union commissioned the Guardians of Ancora project to help children grow in faith, in the digital space.

Aimed at eight to 11-year-olds, the game is also appreciated by teachers, as it helps deliver the RE curriculum. Terry Clutterham, Mission Development Director for Scripture Union said: ‘People might be surprised that there is a waiting list for a Bible-based app. They also might not expect that such a game has had over 120,000 users so far.’ More information can be found at www.guardiansofancora.com
