Baxter the Boar & Friends is still at the beginning of its journey. What started as a simple idea inspired by the beauty, heritage, and community spirit of St Andrews is gradually growing into a wider creative project. The characters and their stories are beginning to take shape through illustrated books, early animation concepts, and a small collection of handcrafted soft toys.<\/h4>\n

As the world of Baxter and his friends continues to develop, the project will move into its next phase with a crowdfunding initiative that will invite supporters \u2014 both locally in St Andrews and further afield \u2014 to help bring the stories to life.<\/h4>\n

A meaningful part of the project\u2019s long-term success will also support the creation of a new local charity, the St Andrews Youth Trust<\/strong>, which will help provide opportunities for young people within the town and further afield as resources allow.<\/h4>\n

We also warmly welcome interest from creative collaborators \u2014 storytellers, illustrators, animators, educators, makers, and artists \u2014 who may wish to become part of the growing journey of Baxter and his friends.<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][nectar_btn size=”medium” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” color_override=”#1e73be” icon_family=”none” text=”VISIT ST ANDREWS YOUTH TRUST WEBSITE” url=”https:\/\/www.standrewsyouthtrust.org.uk”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”accent-color” custom_height=”48″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”80px” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_style” images=”6926,6807″ onclick=”link_no” img_size=”full”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][vc_column_text]\n
