Norfolk PCC Youth Commission Conference

Becky Bentley, one of The Rose Project's Young People's Workers, is enjoying listening to some talented young people talking at the Norfolk PCC Youth Commission Conference, taking place at The Forum today. Over 40 young people are helping the police to change their approach to: relationships with the police, mental health, abusive relationships, substance abuse, journeys through the justice system, peer pressure and social media. It's great to hear how young people's voices are making a difference throughout Norfolk.

Sessions for professionals

We hold monthly sessions for professionals from other agencies. Hosted by a member of the team, they usually last about an hour, & provide an opportunity to learn more about the work of The Magdalene Group, as well as sharing experiences & new developments. There are places available on the April, May & June sessions; if you would like more information, or you would like to book yourself a place, please e-mail vivienne@magdalenegroup.org or telephone the office 01603 610256.
