There is a core group of part time disabled volunteers aged sixteen to twenty five, who have looked
into accessibility issues as a whole for disabled young people. They have developed a ‘good
practice’ guide, along with a DVD of their experiences of what can make volunteering accessible
both for a young person with disabilities as well as a tool for employers to learn from and they want
to take the message forward!

My name is Paul Savill I started working for bayc in February 2003, initially as a peer support worker for young disabled people. Over the many years I have worked for bayc my job role has changed significantly with my most recent role being centred on supporting young people to be at the heart of the decision making process within their organisations.
A group of young people from Darlaston School embarked on a project looking at issues relating to young people through their eyes today. The subjects that the young people covered were teenage pregnancy, cyber bullying, smoking, eating disordes, drugs and under age drinking. Each subject was acted out by young people with them deciding how best to tell the story. What was unique about this proect was that the young people had little drama experience and had written the scripts by themselves.
18 years ago as a member of Silvermere Youth Club Paul Dutton was introduced to the rigours and pleasures of tall ship sailing, as part of the bayc sailing adventures.
In the beginning its true to say he hated it !!!
