Since 2005, the Dunbar Area Christian Youth Project (DACYP) has engaged with 1000s of young people in the Dunbar district through schools work, community groups and local churches. Some of those we first worked with are the parents of the young people we work with now.
​
Our work is delivered by our full-time Youth Worker, a part-time Administrator and a growing team of volunteers.
​
DACYP seeks to demonstrate Christian love and compassion in practical ways. We also enable young people to explore the Christian Faith.
2025: A special year for the project
September 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of our appointment of Richard Taylor as
our first Youth Worker and the commencement of the work of DACYP. We are so
pleased that Richard has continued in post since then and we are grateful to the
many donors and volunteers who have supported DACYP and Richard.
We continue to serve the young people of Dunbar and the surrounding area – but to
keep doing so we need not only your prayers but also a lot of financial support.
Many of our individual donors have supported us from the very start and others have
joined us on the journey but what we would like to do, in this our 20th year, is to
recruit 20 new donors – a 20:20 vision!
If you aren’t already one of our regular monthly or annual donors you may be
someone who sends us a donation from time to time – would you consider making
that donation a regular gift? Maybe you are thinking about becoming a donor for the
first time? Our new pledge card makes it easy for you to sign up to making a regular
donation and if you haven’t seen these cards in your church just ask our
Administrator or a Trustee or a member of the Management Committee for one.
Since the launch of these pledge cards, we already have a number of new donors
and our target of 20 by 31 August 2025 is surely achievable.

Battlefields Tour with S3
S3 students from Dunbar Grammar School went on a trip to the WWI Battlefields. Richard was among the adults who went and was the 'Padre' of the expedition.
​
At the Menin Gate, some of the lads laid a wreath on behalf of Andy's Man Club to remember those who suffered mental health difficulties as a result of war.
