Young People ‘On the Move’

Up to 60 young people will take part in the programme – a youth volunteering project designed to serve the local community.

Thyoung people and leaders will take part in the five-day programme that is designed to promote active citizenship through practical action. They will be involved in everything from litter pick-ups in community areas, cleaning and painting of children’s’ play area as well as running games for local young people.

The diocese has run ‘On the Move’ over the last two years.

Diocesan Youth Officer Martin Montgomery said: “The practical projects undertaken in the localities are in themselves well received and appreciated. We also experience great collaboration within the areas amongst service providers and voluntary groups and churches. There is also recognition of the potential for young people from all parts of the community to work together to make a difference.”
