Detached Youth Work Network


Part of the Youth Focus North West Network Day

About Network Day


Join us for our first Youth Focus North West (YFNW) Network Day, a new quarterly gathering bringing all of our established networks together under one roof for one day.


Each network will meet in the same venue but run as separate, dedicated sessions at different times. Attendees are invited to book onto the network(s) most relevant to their role, interests, or area of practice, with the option to stay and connect with colleagues from across the region before or after their session. With multiple networks running throughout the day, you are welcome to book onto as many as are relevant to your role.


This new format is designed to strengthen relationships, reduce duplication, and make it easier for colleagues to engage with multiple networks in one place. By hosting every network on the same day, we’re creating a more accessible, efficient, and energising way for partners to stay connected and informed.


YFNW Network Day is open to colleagues already involved in our existing networks, as well as those who may wish to join for the first time.


Please feel free to book onto any of the other Networks taking place using the following link:

  • Voluntary Community Faith & Social Enterprise Network
  • Voice & Influence Network
  • Detached Network
  • Cared 4 Network
  • Lundy Model Community of Practice
