We are here to support you as an individual (paid or volunteer), as clergy, as a parish, benefice or deanery to grow in confidencecommitmentcreativity and competence in your mission and ministry with children, young people, families and schools. They are champions of the Growing Younger priority in our churches and can help encourage, equip and support you as you grow your vision for and ministry with children and young people.
