Chris Beattie
Chris Beattie has been KART's 'full time' paid youth worker since 2009.
Whilst Chris is the key employee, the work relies heavily on many people volunteering, praying and financially giving. Chris is supported by a group of Trustees and Management Committee who set the Vision, Mission and Values of the Reachout Trust.
We view our activities in schools as part of the contribution to the spiritual development of the children through helping them learn about Christian beliefs, see authentic faith in action and encourage the development of an understanding of their own beliefs and the beliefs of others.
Our starting point is that children and young people are capable of making their own informed choices and acting in their own interests. We are committed to educational approaches that are holistic and inclusive, and offer support to schools in developing, in all children and young people, their capacities as Successful Learners, Confident Individuals, Responsible Citizens and Effective Contributors. Therefore within schools we support the Religious and Moral Outcomes within the Curriculum for Excellence.
We run Scripture Unon Groups and after school activities in Schools providing the opportunity to explore the Bible and the Christian faith. SU Groups create opportunities for interested pupils to grow and develop spiritually, and are a place for them to explore the Christian faith and how it plays a part in people's lives. KART also supports and works with School Chaplains in Kirkcaldy.
Further information on the work of KART can be found on their website or Facebook page.
