If the Exercise is to continue for another 400 years, we need much higher youth recruitment.

The Ringing Foundation plans to train 500 new young ringers per year, vastly improving the current situation. We have already piloted schemes involving bells in schools and local youth groups. Both these will be receiving funding and support to continue and grow as part of a National Youth Ringing Society.

This area of the site will provide a showcase for ringing for young people, case studies of our work with young people and information for parents and school teachers.
