Following the Scottish Government’s recent announcement relaxing some of the restrictions relating to Covid-19 we are very pleased to say that we are now able to resume some of our face to face services.  We have resumed streetwork services this week and our youth workers will be out and about in Wester Hailes, and the surrounding area, to meet with young people in the areas that they use.  We have also been given the green light to resume face to face to work with the most vulnerable young people and our 1-1 support service has resumed in school.

In order to comply with the ongoing restrictions our Pyramid drop-in will, for the time being, continue to run online.  We look forward to opening the building and welcoming young people back to the drop-in when it is considered safe to do so and are hopeful that this will be some time soon.

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:

Here is how you imagine the 150k lives lost to Covid.

It’s just taken me 10 mins to walk the half kilometre length of the national @CovidMemorialUK
... wall, directly opposite parliament.

Each heart represents one of those 150k lost, those families changed forever.

Please share 💔
