YCW are pleased to launch their Advent Service for 2009 ‘Searching for the Crib In Our Streets’
This resource is free and was especially produced to link with the current YCW National Campaign ‘Get Fair’. The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of the issues of poverty in the UK and to lobby for changes to current policy to make the UK a fairer place for everybody.

Adult Companion & Chaplains'
Conferences 2010
Our conferences are an opportunity to hear input from experienced Chaplains and youth work practitioners, reflect together and take away tools to engage and resource your support of young people.

Formation across the Generations
Over the last few months the YCW has been undertaking an ambitious programme of formation, offering training courses to priest chaplains and adult companions up and down the country.
"Building a School without Walls" is a course for priests, religious and lay adults who gather for quality input, a chance for reflection, discussion and sharing, and to go away equipped to accompany young people.

"The Remains of a Burnt-out Love"
The relics of St Thérèse visited the UK from 16th September to 16th October 2009. The YCW organised the young adult event in London, at Westminster Cathedral, on Wednesday 14th October.
The liturgy led the young people through the life of St Thérèse. After the vigil there was an opportunity to pray with the relics.

An Exchange of Work, Fun and Friendship
Over the summer we held an exchange with the YCW in France (called ‘JOC'). During the time that the English/French group were in England they helped to run the Brightlights Festival. Whilst in France, they helped to renovate one of the farm properties that JOC France own. Emma Stradling, offers her memories of the Exchange.
