Linx Christian Youth Trust

The Linx coordinator for our church is Hannah Barker

Linx Christian Youth Trust is an exciting initiative in Torbay. It represents a commitment from a wide variety of local churches to serve young people, particularly within the context of local secondary schools. Recent surveys show that many teenagers today have to grow up in a hostile environment.

Many face the pressures of...

Alienation

Family breakdown

Growing up in a drug culture

Sexual promiscuity

Bullying at school

Linx is committed to working with and supporting young people who are having to grow up in this type of environment. Historically the church has been the prime initiator of education. In Torbay it seeks to support the development of the whole young person - physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and socially through Linx.

Under the management of Trustees, Church Leaders and Educationalists, Linx seeks to make personnel and resources available to local schools.

Your support is crucial to the success of this initiative. Many already benefit from this local work - schools, parents, community... but most of all young people themselves. Why not add your name to the growing list of supporters and endorse this exciting venture.

Yours faithfully
