Welcome to the Newham Deanery Youth Council Website
About Us
Newham Deanery Partnerships & Youth Council (also known as the Newham Deanery Youth Council/NDYC) is a group of youth representatives from the seven parishes of the Newham Deanery who dedicate their time and efforts to the service of young Catholics. We strive to create events and opportunities which inspire and empower young people as well as support them in their spiritual and academic lives. Recently we have partnered with local services within our communities to help us accomplish the work we do.
Our Motto: With the Youth, For the Youth
Why two websites?
The Newham Deanery Partnerships & Youth Council involves decision-making and strategic planning, while the Newham Deanery Youth & Partnerships Coordination focuses on organising and managing youth and partnership activities. Each website caters to all needs. The Newham Youth and Partnerships Council website is for the Catholic-centric community, whereas the Newham Youth and Partnerships Coordination concentrates on involving collaborations with non-faith organisations and initiatives that provide volunteers, support and funding.
