Welcome! 

This website aims to provide Christian youth and children's workers in Norfolk the space and contacts for conversation, collaboration and encouragement. We recognise that we can do more together than we could apart and that we are all united through the Spirit, and this should be reflected in our work.


Please use this website to share your ideas, knowledge and to ask questions...let's make our dreams for youth work in Norfolk a reality!

 

A facebook group also exists to help youthworkers share ideas, encouragement, news, etc. and to generally network. Click here to go to the facebook group.
