Volunteer

We help young people prepare for further education or enter the workforce through our award-winning Volunteer Project. Our training block is designed for young people to gain valuable work experience, develop skills, and earn qualifications while making a positive impact on the lives of children and families in their local community.

Holiday programmes

(11 - 18 YEARS)

During Spring, Summer, and October breaks, we host drop-in sessions, trips, and outings. These experiences give young people the chance to try new things and visit places they might not otherwise have the opportunity to see.

School Projects

(S1 - S6)

We partner with schools to create projects that boost student engagement, confidence, and self-esteem. Our projects help young people develop leadership skills preparing them for a future in higher education or employment. Our projects offer accredited awards, recognised by the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF), a great addition to any CV!
