Synergy Network 'One Pledge One Change'

The Synergy Network is pleased to announce its new ‘One Pledge, One Change’ campaign, which aims to reduce or eradicate violence against young people. We want every Christian, every church, and every group working with young people to make one pledge that will lead to one change in addressing the violence that is affecting young people across the nations.

We need your support for the various activities that will be taking place in the lead up to the Standing Together Weekend on 19 and 20 July 2025. We need you to consider and then make a pledge and commitment to one thing that you can do to help bring about that much-needed one change.

So, you can do one or several of the following things:

  • Receive Synergy Network Newsletters to stay up to date on the topic.
  • Find out what resources/organisations that work with young, vulnerable people are in your community.
  • Commit your congregation to monthly/regular prayer for young people.
  • Connect with your local school(s) – Young Life International, Kick Academy, School Pastors, Street Pastors, Operation Forgiveness etc…
  • Explore mentoring/discipleship programmes for young people.
  • Prayer Walk your streets and schools and places where young people gather
  • Donate to local organisations in your community who are doing good work with young people
  • Create spaces with young people for their stories to be heard in your church services/ bible studies, house or life groups etc,.
  • Invest in youth work/(a) youth worker(s), especially those who carry out detached work in local communities
  • Open your building for youthwork organisations to operate in/from.
  • Run a youth club/hub/space, especially during weekdays from 4pm to 7pm.
  • Create your own pledge….
