Blessings,

- I'm part of the core team that heads up the new Children's Ministry Network (Scotland), a new forum to help and support children's workers, leaders and pastors in their ministry to and with children. There is also a local Youth Workers forum in our area which overlaps children's and youth work - predominantly schools work.

- Training of volunteer leaders and children's workers. I was an HRD professional before going in to church ministry so it's an area of my work that I really enjoy. Co-wrote the Church of Scotland's Child Friendly Church initiative, a 6-12 month consultation and reflection exercise and pack to help churches think through 5 key areas of work with and for children. So often lead seminars and training days to help churches become more 'Child Friendly'!
