Resources
Finding the right resources for your group and activity is one of the important aspects of working with children, young people and families. We have a wealth of experience in this area and are able to advise what might work in your local situation. We offer advice on the following areas:
- The right curriculum materials for teaching – including Young Church Magazine
- Confirmation and baptism resources
- Messy Church stuff – glorious messiness!
- Fun items/activities that make your programme buzz!
- Craft ideas – If you’re looking for craft materials go here
- Advice on residential and activity centres
- Advice on summer camps, pilgrimages and festivals
- Music and technical bits – how to make videos on smart phones, etc.
