These guys! 💚Our amazing young volunteers: Lucy, Mike, Alex & Grace,
It was a privilege to be able to publicly thank them at the South Glos Youth Work Conference last week, celebrating #YouthWorkWeek #YWW22 and the positive impact that youth work has on all young people!

Had a great day at the WM Detached Youth Work conf. I was involved in great workshops/discussions on activism, conflict & peace and evidencing. Looking forward to taking the learning and contacts back to West Midlands Violence Reduction Partnership. Thanks Detached Youth Work Michael John COLLYER #WMDetached22 #yww22
