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.
Hi Mike,
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog when researching urban youth work and was able to learn alot from your approach and relate to several points that you made. I am also a Christian and I particularly liked how you related it to scripture..
God Bless you and keep on blogging
