We host a Facebook group for anyone involved in children, young people and family ministry where people share details of events, resources, activities and training and also ask questions, debate ideas and learn together.

We have a Twitter profile where we document a bit of what each of us are up to in and around the diocese. 

We also have a Pinterest account where we collate ideas for different festivals, groups and activities.
