We’re a charity that acts as a catalyst for change. Working with like-minded partners, we build confidence and resilience in all of Scotland's young people.
We collaborate with a range of partners to develop innovative resources and practical solutions that improve outcomes for children in Scotland.
We engage and empower the individuals and groups who have the greatest influence on young people, giving them the tools and knowledge to create sustainable impact.
For example, a school with a positive learning culture will impart crucial skills for life and learning to its pupils, year-after-year. A community with healthy lifestyle habits is more likely to achieve and be aspirational and a child with confidence and resilience is more likely to be successful in life.
Since our inception in 2005, we have impacted many hundreds of thousands of young people in Scotland, working with partners across the public, private and third sectors, and operating in every corner of the country.
We have achieved this by customising proven approaches for a Scottish context, and collaborating with some of Scotland’s largest organisations to create the biggest impact. In everything we do, we're always:
• committed to young people. • collaborative in our delivery. • pioneering in our approach. • innovative in our solutions. • independent.
