Niddrie is one of the most deprived parts of Edinburgh, where issues of multiple addiction, abuse, violent crime, and antisocial behaviour are daily realities. I work alongside pastors Mez McConnell and Jez Dearing, among others.
Having been unable to find many/any blogs that deal with youth work in an urban environment, particularly from a UK context, I decided to start this one. It's my desire to engage with other youth workers, share knowledge and resources, and help to refine practice.
