After the challenges of lockdown we are delighted that we have been able to work with young people face to face across all of our services. We are continuting with strictly applied enhanced cleaning and other mitigations to help protect all of the young people, their families and our staff from Covid-19.

Our drop-in continues to run in the Pyramid and staff are still out on streetwork in Wester Hailes and the surronding areas. We are also continuing with our individual support service to help the most vulnerable young people and those needing a bit of extra support as we move through this challenging time.

We will continue to post any updates to our service delivery 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:
