East Norwich Youth Project is launched
 The East Norwich Youth Project (ENYP) has announced the appointment of its first employee Danny Doran-Smith (pictured above) as Senior Youth Worker.
The ENYP is a new charity established to develop Youth Work in the east of Norwich, which has the support of eight Christian churches across the area:
St. Francis Church, Heartsease (CoE), Witard Road Baptist Church, Heartsease Lane Methodist Church, St. David's Church, Thorpe End (CoE), St. Matthew’s Church, Thorpe Hamlet (CoE), Thorpe Salvation Army, The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Dussindale and Norwich Vineyard. Other churches are considering becoming part of the project.
For the past three years, Danny has been employed by St Francis Church (CoE) and Witard Road Baptist Church, as a full-time Youth Worker in the Heartsease area of the city through the Norwich Youth For Christ Fusion Scheme. He and a team of voluntary workers have successfully built up a variety of open and church based young peoples clubs and initiatives.
Danny will commence his new job with the East Norwich Youth Project from 1st September. It is hoped that in his new role elements of this successful strategy will be extended across the east of the city from Thorpe Hamlet to Dussindale and Thorpe End. He is also intending to start from September an ecumenical youth church for 12-30 year olds, which will meet in different locations across the across the east of the city.
The trustees are delighted with this appointment and believe that ecumenical co-operation is the way ahead to more effective Christian youth work across the East of the City.
