This new partnership has been united by our dreams of what can be possible through the church across the UK, as well as our anguish regarding the statistics about young people and the church that are regular put before us. The organisations involved believe that by working together we will be able to serve the church more effectively than by working apart.
We know that there are literally tens of thousands of people who are faithfully, week in week out, up and down the country, working with young people. We want to celebrate this, whilst recognising that many of us live busy lives, many of us are tired, many of us are looking for new ideas and resources, and many of us need encouragement and inspiration.
So we made a decision to work together. And so we, as partners, are developing a wide range of resources and activities, pooling our resources, ideas and energies in to a strategic alliance, which we hope will serve all those working with young people.
