Twelve Youth-work organisations have been working closely together to present Matrix - a full-time youth workers' conference timetabled for next January. The conference will be addressed by the Rt Rev Graham Cray, Bishop of Maidstone, and Mrs Sam Richards, Director of Oxford Youth Works. Matrix will give Christian, full-time youth workers space to chew over issues and questions together. There will be discussion groups, seminars workshops and main sessions in a relaxed environment of worship and prayer.A spirit of co-operation has enabled the event to come together. Planning organisations have put money into pump-priming the conference and taken responsibility for different aspects of organisation. Dave Wiles of Frontier Youth Trust said, 'A hallmark of this event is the synergy created by youth-work organisations working together in the interests of young people and youth-work.''Very few youth-work conferences are geared solely to the needs of professional youth-workers. It is hoped this gathering will be innovative and strategic,' said Steve Tilley of CPAS.

Further quotes :
'It has been a pleasure working with so many organisations with a determined effort to assist the development of full-time, Christian youth workers.' (Victor Allen - Northampton Association of Youth Clubs)'Youth-work works but youth workers need a break. This could be it.' (Sam Richards - Oxford Youth Works) 'AMAZE exists to promote and develop full-time youth-work. It has been exciting to work with other organisations who share that vision.' (Claire Lea - AMAZE)
