Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the announcement by the Scottish Government that we are now operating at above tier 4 restrictions The Youth Agency will be moving all of our youth work services online.   This will include our individual support, groupwork and drop-in services.

As soon as we are able we will resume face to face work with young people.  We are obviously keen for this to happen as soon as possible but will only take this step when it is safe to do so and with the consent of the relevant authorities.  In the meantime, we hope that everyone stays safe and healthy.

Updates to our service delivery will be posted here and on our social media pages.  Alternatively, for information on any of our services or if you are a young person who requires support please contact us on:
