Across Scotland, many young people are growing up in
communities impacted by poverty.
Equipped to Transform 2012 is a joint event run by SU
Scotland, Tearfund the Church of Scotland Priority Group. It aims
to equip and inspire individuals and churches to build inclusive
communities that welcome and value disadvantaged children and young
people.
The conference is for those who have a heart for, or are already
working among, young people in deprived areas of Scotland. It is
also for those who want to encourage their own young people to gain
a better understanding of how the gospel is good news to the
poor.
