Welcome to Youth Work Matters
My website and collection of resources.
I work with young people, especially those having a hard time of life, and all that goes with this territory, and I work with those who are in the lives of young people, their friends and families and communities. And I also train and supervise the many and varied professional workers who at times touch the lives of young people.


This video takes you into the real lives of young people; unscripted, immediate and genuine, from more formally sitting in a counselling room, to the casualness of the street together with the sounds of the wind and passing traffic.
This book is full of practical ways to explore the questions about the sorts of lives young people wish to lead. ‘Youthworks’ presents a way of ‘talking’ with young people that is both powerful and compelling.
‘QUESTIONS’ just has so many wonderful moments. It’s an hour long and shows real footage from groups run both in and out of schools. It’s been described as ‘very interactive, creative and entertaining!’
