Starting from Scratch - Youth work

 Starting from Scratch

We are building stronger links between Dunbury Academy and our churches and would love more people to come forward with ideas and offers of help. There is a course being run in Dorchester that might inspire some of you to have a go. I am booking a place for the 24th June - how about coming along?

Let me know if you are interested and I will forward you a booking form.
