National Youth Work Awards
We were finalists at the 2026 National Youth Work Awards hosted by Youthlink Scotland.
The Awards Ceremony took place in Glasgow on 3rd June.
Unfortunately, we weren't the winners, however, we were delighted to be nominated and that our grassroots youth work was recognised at a national level.
