The aim is to run a series of Saturday sessions (one per month) starting in February 2011. You can book yourself or your volunteers onto one or all of our sessions but BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL as if we do not have enough booked on a session we will cancel and for some sessions places are strictly limited.

We are still looking at what other titles we will run and we need your suggestions. Topics could include topics such as;

• Planning a programme with young people
• First Aid
• Resourcing Sunday work with young people

We need your ideas. If you have any specific training request for your group then Rev. Susan McIvor (Minister for Youth Work) is the person to Get in Touch with.
