Thank you to Sarah Robertson M.CLDSC and YouthLink Scotland for creating this case study showing the impact that Growing2gethers' Nursery Mentoring programme has on the teenagers and children, as well as the integral collaboration and partnership working with schools and youth work teams who help make this all happen. A special thanks to Tim Frew and Gill Gracie for putting us forward for this case study.

#youthwork #mentalhealth #volunteering #educationneedsyouthwork #wellbeing #youthvip | Sarah Robertson M.CLDSC It was lovely to work alongside Gavin Morgan to create a case study that brings to life the impact of volunteering and youth work.

Thank you SSEN Transmission!

A big thank you 🙏 for raising over £5,500 so far – and we have £25,000 to go. ‘Helping children in nursery helped me to find skills I never knew I had... I would never have got the chance to improve myself to become who I am now.’ – John

Urgent funding appeal -

Urgent funding appeal Growing2gether needs your help. A funding delay has pushed us to an urgent financial appeal, to prevent cuts to our programmes. Please help us raise £30,000 to support the work we do for children, young people, schools and communities.

We want to say a huge thank you to MSP Emma Roddick, MSP Natalie Don-Innes (Minister for Children, Young People and The Promise), MSP Roz McCall, MSP Karen and MSP Davy Russell for speaking at The Scottish Parliament on the success of the Growing2gether programmes.

It means so much to us, to be recognised at The Scottish Parliament for the work we do in supporting children, young people, schools and communities.

Thank you to all of you who support us and we leave you with a question we are holding dear to our hearts "What if one of the keys for young people, is giving them someone or something to care about?"
