What we do
From experience we know it can be tough and time consuming to find, write or choose resources for youth and children’s work. To make this easier we post a regular recommended resource to our library of over 100 tried and tested published and self written ideas, games and resources. Our whole library is chock full of recommendations from children’s and youth leaders who have used them. We regularly keep adding to the list which is fully searchable by category and keyword. If you live local to where we’re based in Milton Keynes you can also arrange to borrow any resource we have a hard copy of.
If you’ve recently used a great resource, game or activity and would be willing to write a review contact us here.

Free Youth & Children’s Work Support, Advice & Consultancy
If you want to start something new or need some fresh ideas for some youth or kids work you run already – get in touch – if we can help you we will! We offer both regular mentoring as well as one off chats to encourage you in your youth and kids work journey.
Depending where you are this support will be either online or in person.
"It is such a challenging time for churches to be working with young people so the vision of Youthwork+ to resource, equip and support local youth and children's leaders is vital. Having known Becky Lawrence since she was a young person herself (!) I have seen first-hand her commitment and passion for young people as well connecting others working with young people in her local community."
- Dr Mark Scanlan, Lead Undergraduate Tutor, Tutor and Lecturer in Theology and Youth Ministry, St Mellitus College

Youth & Children’s Work Equipping & Training
We can help equip you or your team with practical skills for youth and kids work via training.
We can come and deliver team training for your youth and or kids team(s) if you are in or near to Milton Keynes. Or you can book onto Youthscape Essentials which we try to host in person once a year – across 3 to 4 Saturday mornings – which is a practical course for youth leaders.
We also put on Day Retreats a couple of times a year for youth/kids leaders to help support, equip and cheer you on in your roles. And host pop up online training events on youth work topics.
If you’d like us to deliver something for your church or charity or if there is a topic you’d really like us to cover in a pop up training session or webinar get in touch.
Youth & Kids Leaders Networks
We aim to help cultivate networks where youth and children’s leaders can find peer support and encouragement. A place to build relationships; connections; collaborations and a space for learning from and with each other.
Milton Keynes Network
For those who lead or coordinate youth and/or children’s work in or around Milton Keynes. Our MK networking is hosted by Becky & Bex. We meet for coffee each term and host Resource Showcases for the MK network too, as well as hosting a Whatsapp Community. To join get in touch!
We also know of a few other networks around England & Wales so if you’d like to join one in your area we might be able to link you with one!
