Parish Youth Club Update:
To potential youth leaders and parents: Whether you have an interest in empowering young people through mentorship, guidance, and support or simply creating opportunities for your children to become more actively involved in the parish community we would like to hear from you. The Parish Safeguarding Team will be running two training events covering Level 1 Safeguarding Training, and bespoke Parish Training. The training will last for approximately 1 hour. The Safeguarding Team have offered to do two sessions, one after each mass this weekend. It will be held in-person in the Parish Centre with a 7pm kick-off on Saturday evening 10 May 2025 and 11am kick-off on Sunday morning 11 May 2025. As this is a Parish event the training is bespoke so even if you already have safeguarding training you still need to undertake this session if you wish to be involved. Down and Connor Safeguarding Office will undertake online Level 2 training on 28 and 29 May 2025 for those individuals who require the additional level.
To youths in the parish (Year 8 to 12): building on the very successful Parish Youth Club of the past and the recent pilot we are developing a block of events with the first block running from early June 2025 to the start of the summer holidays (after your exams). This block is planned for Sunday afternoons between 5 and 7pm. Further information will be provided by the Social Media Team on Facebook and other media. Watch this space!
