Manor Park - Detached Youth Work
If you’re reading this, you will have met us through some Detached Youth Work either at Manor Road Park or elsewhere around Luton town centre. This project is a partnership between Youthscape and St Mary’s Church with support from the Youth Partnership Service. Funding from the Million Hours Fund has helped us to provide youth work support for young people through conversation, sport, and informing them about what other youth work programmes we offer. Thanks to the Government and The National Lottery Community Fund for making this possible.
St Mary’s Church Luton
St Mary’s Youth Ministry aim to support youth from various backgrounds in Luton, to feel confident in their identity and beliefs while living well together. As a ministry formed over half a century ago, they have helped thousands of young people to develop holistically and spiritually.
Key sessions:
· Impact Youth Group @ St Mary’s Church, in the Underground on Thursdays from 5 pm - 7 pm. This is a safe, drop-in-style youth group that explores various aspects of life through guided discussion. This involves 30 minutes of hanging out, 1 hour of activities and 30 minutes of guided discussion. We also eat together once a fortnight.
· Sunday youth @ St Mary’s Church, in the Underground during the 10.30am church service. In this group we look at various topics and areas of life through the scope of the Bible. We look at what it says on how to live, as well as helping each other grow our faith in God.
