Beacon Changemakers is a leadership development programme that nurtures 'change makers'. We find young people with leadership potential who have financial need; provide them with access to the highest quality education; offer leadership training and 'high-touch' mentoring; and create a vertical pathway for transition into leadership positions. The vision is to develop a group of ethical change makers who have a multiplier effect to generate positive social change.

The Beacon Equity Trust is an educational charity, founded in 2009, whose principal activity is to support the operation of The Beacon Scholarship. It is privately funded and presently operates in the UK and East Africa.

Our vision:

“THE AIM IS THAT EVENTUALLY A BEACON CHANGEMAKER WILL MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE TO THEIR COUNTRY’S DEVELOPMENT BY ATTAINING A SIGNIFICANT LEADERSHIP POSITION, FROM WHICH THEY CAN POSITIVELY IMPACT THE LIVES OF MANY OTHERS. WE AIM FOR A MULTIPLIER EFFECT: RATHER THAN INVESTING IN EDUCATING THOUSANDS, WE EDUCATE A HANDFUL OF EXCEPTIONAL YOUNG PEOPLE WITH REAL LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL WHO WILL, IN TURN, INFLUENCE THOUSANDS THROUGH THEIR ACTIONS.”
