What we do
NKBL has been going since 2009, and has had a massive impact on young people’s lives directly, and through our youth work programmes.
Events and Activities
We run national events and activities
These are shaped by what our partners and individual practitioners have told us they find most useful and relevant to their work, and on topics they would like to learn more about.
Training
We design and host training sessions and materials
These offer the opportunity for partners to share their experiences and promote good practices across our community.
Monthly Newsletter and Blog
We want to hear from you
We have a monthly newsletter and practitioners from our community also discuss relevant issues on our blog. If you would be interested in sharing your own knowledge and experience as a blog post, please get in touch. You can sign up to our newsletter below.
