Educational Resources for schools, families and youth groups

We have compiled a selection of PDF documents that you are welcome to download. These have all been produced by other organisations and we cannot accept any liability for the content of this material. We are grateful to those organisations for this information and hope that we have acknowledged them where appropriate.

This material varies greatly in its complexity and assumed knowledge. Therefore rather than putting it into age categories, we leave it to you to decide what is appropriate for your group.

Firstly are a series of downloadable documents, followed by links to some very good websites where a great deal more information can be found.

We hope you find this part of the website useful and if you have any comments please get in touch.
