Set in the Derbyshire Dales, The Briars is the residential youth centre for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nottingham, welcoming over 5000 young people a year. The Programme Leaders, together with a team of trained volunteers aim to create opportunities for personal and spiritual development.

The centre is also the base for the youth service outreach ministry team. Led by the Outreach Youth Ministry Co-ordinator and staffed by members of the volunteer team, the service is available to assist parishes and schools with their youth ministry. Our Outreach Co-coordinator - along with members of the volunteer team - can work with Confirmation groups, youth groups and schools who wish some preparation or follow-up to Briars visits. The team can help prepare and run school retreat days, parish youth events, assist in curriculum support for RE and support chaplaincy or peer ministry teams.
