What’s On

  • Join us for a practical and engaging morning of training designed for youth leaders and volunteers working with young people in church settings.

    Led by experienced youth work and mental health practitioners, these sessions will equip you with valuable skills, insights, and confidence to better support the young people in your care.

    Training Topics

    • Understanding neurodiversity and creating inclusive environments

    • Managing challenging behaviour effectively

    • Safeguarding and risk management

    • Supporting young people's mental health safely and relationally

    The training is practical, accessible, and relevant to anyone involved in youth ministry, whether you're a volunteer, youth leader, or part of a wider church team.

    Following the morning sessions, there will be an opportunity to connect with other youth leaders and volunteers from across the region over lunch.
