The council is a group of currently 11 young people from around the diocese aged between 13-19years.
The council meets every 2 months in different venues around the diocese. ****************
The aims of the youth council are: *
To discuss and act upon arising issues of Church life and local or national issues
To feed the views of the young people from Derby Diocese into the National Youth council and other bodies
To organise and promote youth events in the Diocese ****************
There are various ways in which you can get involved in the work of the Youth council: *
Pray - one of the most valuable things you can do for the youth council is to hold it in your prayers. Current prayer requests are:
Help in the organisation of the July event - Grace Full, that we will be able to book an appropriate venue, that we would get the publicity out to as many people as possible as soon as possible and that we would continue to have inspiration on new and different ways to do things at the event to make it as enjoyable and helpful to people as possible.
Blessing on the National Youth Council meeting on the 21st April that all attendees including Dan and Kat (representatives from YCDD) would be able to get there safely and that productive and helpful discussion may be had. ****************
Tell us your views – we would love to know your views on the church, what do you like, what do you think could be better, what events would you like to see take place? We welcome ideas for new projects, concerns about the way things are currently and your opinions on matters arising in local and national news. If you know a council member then you can pass on your views through them or email us at ddyc@hotmail.co.uk. We will discuss and consider all your contributions. You do not have to be Christian or Anglican to share your views we want to hear from all people.
Join the council – there is a limit of 20 people set on the council size so that it remains effective and manageable. Currently there are some places remaining on the council. If you are interested in becoming a council member then please email us with details of your name, age, parish and reasons for wanting to be on the council. You must be between the ages of 13-25 (inclusive) and worship within Derby Diocese. ****************
Thanks!
