– WHAT IS REFUEL? –

A FAMILY FRIENDLY CHRISTIAN FESTIVAL

The Refuel festival was born in 2017 and responded to a prayerful calling to gather Christians together in one place and to demonstrate the unity prayed for by Jesus in John 17:23. “That they may demonstrate such perfect unity that the world will know that Jesus was sent by God”

Since then, Christians from all over the UK and abroad have come together to enjoy an all age family festival. For Refuel 2026, we are stretching our tent pegs to Aviemore!

With worship leaders and guest speakers coming from all over the world, Refuel is ready to welcome families, churches, youth groups, home groups, campers, glampers for a week long holiday, fun, inspiration and ENCOUNTER with Jesus and His people.

*** FIRST MINISTRY ANNOUNCEMENT*** - BLYTHSWOOD
We love what our ministries bring to Refuel!
They bring content. They bring mission. They bring agency. They bring passion. They bring family.

Blythswood seeks to see people's lives being changed for good and forever as they are released from poverty, trauma and exploitation, and receive eternal life through the saving power of Jesus Christ. Established in 1966, the organisation is celebrating 60 years of changing lives by offering the compassion, relief and hope that come from God. Today, Blythswood brings practical help in times of crisis and extreme poverty in three different continents, while also helping individuals and communities build brighter futures through education and rehavilitation
Working with local partners who understand the needs of their communities, Blythswood serves people in parts of Europe, Asia and Africa. Alongside this practical support, the charity shares the message of God's love in sending His only Son, Jesus Christ, so that those who believe in Him might not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16). Blythswood seeks to bring lasting change - both now and for eternity.

Advice needed - does anyone know a Christian personal trainer with PT qualifications? - we are applying fur funding for a fully equipped mens gym and space at The Refuel Summer Festival

Someone gifted at motivation and encouraging folks to give it a try would be great!

It won’t quite be Venice Beach but it’ll be a great space for men to hang out, get the ceritonin moving and perhaps get a liking for personal fitness and the impact it has on mental health!
