We are delighted to now be operating all of our services supporting young people.  The drop-in continues to run for all age ranges and, with guidance relaxed, we are able to open the clubs to more young people whilst also enjoying an ever wider range of activities.

In addition, our staff are out and about on streetwork in Wester Hailes, Sighthill, Broomhouse and Longstone and we are continuing to provide a much needed individual support service to help the most vulnerable young people.

We are aware that Covid-19 is still very much around and are acting accordingly.  As before, we continue to run our services with enhanced mitigations to help keep all of the young people, their families and our staff safe.
