This is a “how to” session backed up by a little bit of theory. You’ll come away with resources and ideas to help engage young people positively in the life of your church.
Learn how to listen to what matters to young people! Ideal for clergy, readers, PCC members, youth volunteers and anyone interested in working with and alongside young people within their church community.

Poverty Sunday is an initiative by Church Urban Fund – the Church of England’s response to tackling poverty in this country. It encourages members of local congregations to seek to become more compassionate and Christ-like in the ways they think about, care for and act towards the most marginalised in our society and those living in deprived communities.
Scripture Union – It’s Your Church
It’s Your Church is a 16 page A4 booklet aimed at 8 – 11 year olds who are visiting a church as part of their RE syllabus. It offers an opportunity for churches to connect with their local schools as they invite children to visit their building and community. The booklet contains generic information about churches that can easily be applied in many different denominational settings. Children are invited to become TV presenters, finding out information that they can present back at school.
