Ever get that feeling that the young people you work with week in, week out, just need something a little different? Something that will shake them out of their comfort zones and open their eyes to the world? Well look no further... We bring you some seriously eye-opening youth work.

Take your youth group on a bespoke overseas adventure with Tearfund's Transform programme. Because a trip overseas can be just the eye-opener young people need to find their voice on injustice. Matt Pinless, youth leader from Cheltenham says,
'I personally believe that if we want to raise a generation of young people that are going to challenge the system, they need to see where the system's broken down. We can talk about poverty till we're blue in the face, but actually sometimes what you need to do is to see it. Because once you've seen it, you can't forget it. And if you can't forget it, you're going to live to change it.'
Travelling with Transform means your whole group will get properly prepared, insured, and given round-the-clock emergency support while in-country. It also means you're working with people who understand that this is not just a trip for young people; it's a chance for transformation.
