Resources for creating and maintaining inclusive spaces
Our additional needs resources are designed to equip youth workers and children’s & families’ workers to reach, include, and disciple every child and young person, especially those with additional needs or disabilities.
Whether you’re just beginning this journey or looking to grow your inclusive practice, these tools will help you build spaces where every young person belongs.
Invited to Belong
A six-part journey, created by Urban Saints and Youthscape to help your team explore how to invite young people with additional needs into genuine belonging within your group, church, or community.
Each stage of the journey is revealed through a sealed envelope, opened one at a time. Inside, you’ll find reflective tasks, activities, and practical challenges designed to spark conversation, deepen understanding, and inspire real change.
How you can use it
Use Invited to Belong in whatever rhythm suits your team:
-
Set aside a focused day together
-
Open one envelope each week before your group starts
-
Build it into team meetings or training sessions
