The Churches
Together in Heald
Green Youth Initiative was founded in 1999, originally a collaboration
between St Catherine's Church of England and Heald Green Methodist
Church. Since then, all five churches are now represented on the Board
of Trustees, and the local Churches Together Group has formally adopted
the initiative. In 2000 we appointed a full time JNC qualified Youth
Worker and since 2003 two "Time for God" youth workers on 12 month
placements have resourced local churches, schools and community
groups.In July 2005, the Initiative realised a long-held ambition to
provide a base for work among young people with the opening of Cafe
Unity.
Café
Unity
Youth Worker
Lee Bassman, who currently works in Bramhall, has been appointed as a
youth worker and following a few weeks 'ground work' we have opened the cafe 2 nights a week for the youth. The
local young people are getting to know him as he spends time meeting and
talking to them. Lee has some ideas
for the youth work and we will be seeing them as they work out.
