Unlocking the Prodigal Event and Resource.

This took place at Windy Nook in Gateshead and again in Heanor in May 2018.

This is some of the feedback we received after the event:-

I chatted to the people who came and got overwhelmingly positive feedback. The gist of it was that it had taken a story they were very familiar with and helped them see it with fresh eyes - that it had helped it move from something they knew with their heads, to something that touched their hearts, and that it had provoked some deep and helpful conversations, arising out of the themes of the parable and the way it connected with their own lives and experiences.They saidit had been a lot of fun as well, and that the lunch was good!

I was asked some really good questions by church members, such as, "How can we do more of this, for ourselves?" and "How could we draw in those on the edges of the church, who don't already know the stories in the Bible, for something a bit like this?" I look forward to exploring what the answers to those questions might look like, in the months to come!

Our Lent course has had a very strong Unlock influence and it's been such a great experience.We are a church full of very practical, down to earth people who tend to be quite private about what goes on inside them and not have huge amounts of confidence.Unlock hasenabled usto share our experiences of prayer and God in a much moreopenway.That, in turn has led to a new courage and willingness to pray for and with one another, which makes me a very humble, grateful, happy Vicar indeed.

Current Unlock Local Partnerships

We are looking to establish new Local Partnerships in new locations. Please contact us if you are interested.

See Our Workers Page >> for up-to-date details of local partnerships

Working with Theological Colleges

Unlock is in partnership with the Queen's Foundation, Birmingham , and is willing to explore the possibility of partnerships with other Theological Colleges and Ministry Training Programmes in the UK, particularly in regions where we already have local projects established. Students looking for interesting placements are welcome to contact us to explore possibilities.

More details on our London Walk Page >>

The 2020 and 2021 virtual Unlock London walks, are featured on our 'Unlock Support' page

We are dependent on the income from the Unlock London walks for around 50% of our annual funding, and without that income Unlock will not be able to continue its valuable work; so we really need you to donate anyway, just as if the 2020 & 2021 walks were still happening. We hope that the online version of these walks will encourage you to do that.
