Project Touchline brings schools and local churches together through sport, Christian values, Collective Worship, prayer and reflection.
Since 2018, more than 150 schools and churches have taken part — helping children experience Christian values not simply as words, but through relationships, movement and everyday school life.
Chris Andrew is the founder of Project Touchline, bringing together over 20 years of experience in education, sport and Christian ministry.
With a background in primary and secondary education and UKCC Level 2 coaching qualifications in Rugby Union and Cricket, Chris has developed a distinctive approach that brings together faith, sport, Collective Worship and Christian values within school life.
A licensed Reader/Lay Minister in the Diocese of Gloucester and commissioned Archbishops’ Evangelist in 2019, Chris is passionate about helping schools and churches work together to nurture Christian values, spiritual development and wellbeing — creating a legacy that continues long after Project Touchline has finished.
“I have seen the beneficial impact his work has had on the children and staff, and how he has inspired and encouraged the schools. The Prayer Clubs have continued in both schools, creating an ongoing and lasting impact.”
“Project Touchline has brought a true alignment with our vision and values. Sport has become a powerful vehicle for teamwork, resilience and leadership, reinforcing inclusivity, respect and determination. Most importantly, its legacy will continue to shape future generations.”
