WELCOME
We have some exciting news! Young people across the Diocese have been invited to have a voice at Diocesan Synod via a youth forum. This will happen for the first time on 5 December around the topic of Growing Faith, which has had a lot of air time in various ways this week - a session run by Southwark (the video will be sent out once edited), a webinar with London, and Faith in the Nexus - a recent report we highly recommend having a look at.
Woolwich youth forum has been running for 2 years for young people aged year 9+ (up to a maximum of 3 per church). Young people wanting to have a voice are welcome to join us and parents should complete the Woolwich permission form. An adult that works with them is encouraged to attend alongside.
If you are in the Croydon area, a youth forum is on its way at the beginning of 2021! We are in the process of sending the message out far and wide so if you have young people who would be interested, connect in with us and have their parents complete the Croydon permission form.
If you're in the Kingston area, we are making progress but aren't quite ready yet. Do speak to your archdeacons to note your interest.
You can connect with us on Twitter and Facebook and all of our resources can be found on our website. Any safeguarding concerns, please contact the Safeguarding team directly.
Thank you for all you do to walk, welcome and grow your mission and ministry amongst children and young people.
