Growing Younger Additional Needs Training Events

The Diocese of Derby is hosting two key training events being led by Dr Naomi Fox, the Founder and CEO of Growing Hope, a charity that works with local churches to offer free therapy for children with additional needs.

The events will both be held on 8 July 2024, with the first session from 10.30am – 1pm and the second session 7pm – 9pm.

Both training events will be held at St Alkmund’s Church.

Join us for a time of learning and collaboration as we explore how to better serve children, young people and families with additional needs in our ministries.

Our churches have the opportunity to be good news to their communities as they face the challenge of supporting children, young people and families where any members have additional needs.

With resources stretched and waiting lists increasing, the local church has resources which can positively impact the lives of families who often do not get the level of support that they need.

The morning is suitable for all but is aimed particularly at leaders of ministry with children and young people, as well as church leaders and clergy.

The evening event is open to all, but is especially relevant for volunteers with children, young people and families.

Youth and children's ministers and/or clergy may want to come on their own in the morning and then come with their volunteer teams in the evening.
