in partnership

We work in partnership with local churches, organisations, schools, youth workers and many other individuals.  There’s no way we could reach and support as many young people as we do if we didn’t all work together.

our partners are crucial to everything we doOnly together can we make a long-term difference to the lives of young people across the region.  We believe God is leading us to form more long-term, in-depth partnerships with churches for 2008 onwards, to help young people grow & develop in life skills & in faith.

 The emerge programme is aiming to go “deeper”, creating a local community of young people linked with local churches and other organisations. It will include 3 main types of activity:

    * Discover & develop potential
    * Explore faith
    * Mature & grow in faith


Each emerge program will be designed specifically for the local area in close partnership with local churches & young people. We hope to have 3 of these programmes up and running early in 2008.

“Working in partnership with ncounter and Collective has proved an excellent focus for Churches in Trowbridge to engage in Mission together.”  David Auger, Baptist Minister«  Back
