Resources for young people

All the resources on this page are suitable for young people and can be used in Churches, Childrenโ€™s Ministry, Collective Worship, Messy Church etc. All are available free to download.  If you work in this area of ministry and would like us to include something that is not available, please let us know!  Here at ASWA we want to encourage young people to be compassionate to all living creatures.  

If you are a young person exploring this page and would like to write something for our magazine or have something artistic to offer we would love to hear from you.
