"I am delighted to be able to commend Youthwork+. This is a great new initiative for the churches in MK which addresses a challenging gap in our work with young people. I am particularly impressed with the range of churches which they have already managed to engage which goes across the spectrum in the city. They have a good, clear strategy to progress and the energy to make it happen."
– Revd. Canon John Robertson, Director of Ecumenical Mission, Milton Keynes Mission Partnership

About Us
To cut a long story short, we believe God spoke to us about being champions for young people and pursuing the passion God had given us, to encourage, support and empower work with children and young people. In 2019 somehow, Bex & I both ended up in the right place at the right time (God’s timing!) to start working towards setting up Youthwork+ as a non profit, Olly shared our vision and joined us in Autumn 2020 and the rest is not too distant history!
What we do
Our aim is to encourage and strengthen existing youth and children’s ministry and add to it by inspiring and cultivating opportunities for new work with the 95% of children and youth not yet connected to churches. If you want to start something new or need some fresh ideas for something you run already – get in touch – if we can help you we will!
95%
Children and young people not currently connected to churches nationally.
66,119
Young people aged 19 or under in Milton Keynes.
76%
Christians choose to come to faith before they turn 18.
“What Youthwork+ are building through local church youth ministries and how they are supporting them is transformational to the Milton Keynes area and beyond!"
Dan Randall, HOPE Youth Director
