Devolved Funding

DGYC acknowledges that different parts of the dioceses have different Youth Ministry needs. While some areas with larger parishes have full time paid youth workers, others have no facilities for Youth Ministry at all; therefore their requirements will be vastly different.

It is the aim of the DGYC that Youth Ministry will operate on a devolved basis with individual Rural Deaneries, or clusters of parishes (in Rural Deaneries or adjoining Rural Deaneries), deciding what will work best in their areas.

They will be supported in their endeavours by the Diocesan Youth Officer. To assist with any projects the DGYC is offering grants to Rural Deaneries and clusters of Parish to engage with Youth ministry in new and creative ways.
