Project History & Affiliations:
It started 5 years ago as a branch of the already existing churches together in Bridport and district. There have been 3 previous trainee youth workers, also affiliated with SWYM. The Project is carried out by about 10 local churches ranging from CofE, Catholic, United Refoirmed and independent Charismatic
Structure & Vision of the Project:
About the location of the Project:
Bridport is a small market town on the southcoast of west Dorset.
It is a little isolated transport wise and the facilities are limited.
About the youth work of the Project:
The project focuses its efforts on the local secondary school. The agreement is that the youthworker spends 3 days a week there helping with whatever is needed, mainly lesson support and one-to-one's. There is space to develop other activities e.g lunch time clubs, organising events for the activitiies week, taking part in lessons etc...
The other area of work is to train local people in youthwork and to organise other events for young people. We are currently starting a youth cafe.
