Beacon Youth Trust (BYT) is the only youth work provision in Linton, founded in 2016. It exists to deliver and promote youth and community work within the local community. BYT works with Linton Parish Council, local schools, churches and other organisations to serve young people in Linton. Like many other organisations, BYT was affected by the COVID-19 global pandemic and this year has focused on rebuilding youth work in the village. There is a lot of work taking place through the Beacon team, with more opportunities to develop with the help of volunteers; read on to find out about the ongoing work and how to get it touch with the youth workers to join in the mission to invest in the future of the village through youth work.

BYT is currently working with Linton Heights Junior School and Linton Village College. With the schools at the moment, the team engages with young people through lunch time detached work, youth clubs, 1-2-1 support and targeted group sessions.

In the community, there are weekly youth clubs on Tuesdays and Wednesdays after school and in the evening at the Drop-In Youth Centre in the Recreational Ground. Across the year there are also creative projects, sports sessions, self-development projects, trips, events and many other activities.

During the summer holidays, Beacon Youth Trust provided a very successful summer programme, being open for 3 days during the week and taking the young people on a trip each week. We saw 67 young people across the summer, supported by a team of 3 staff and 5 volunteers. It took immense dedication and commitment for such a small team to achieve that.

The hope is to do more; Linton has 400+ young people to reach, and in order to engage more young people BYT is appealing for volunteers. There is no experience required, just your time and willingness to help and support young people. We are looking for volunteers for the following roles, but are not limited to these areas:
 

  • Supporting youth workers in delivering a regular programme of activities and youth clubs
  • Planning and organising activities, events and trips
  • Cleaning and providing food and snacks to the young people
  • Sports coaching (basketball and football)
  • Admin
  • Fundraising
  • Minibus driving
  • Marketing and advertising
  • Photography / Videography
  • Blogging
  • Facilitating workshops
  •
