I liked being in the country because it’s quiet and I can run around.

Thanks for the opportunity you have given the boys, they wouldn’t go to school but would come to Youth Vision!

I enjoyed exploring at Youth Vision.

Helping nature doing natural stuff, cooked, went on some trips. It was quite fun. It was great being outside and not stuck in a building all day.

Bailley began work with Youth Vision as an alternative to exclusion. Youth Vision was offered to Bailley as part of a mixed package of provision. Bailley enjoyed the his time at Youth Vision and engaged well with the supports there. Bailley was a young man who, although oppositional to authority, lacked confidence and a sense of self-worth. Bailley was genuinely proud of the work he completed at Youth Vision. I believe Youth Vision enabled Bailley to finish his schooling and to avoid what would have been a final exclusion.

Bailley went on to achieve 5 qualifications and moved from school into a positive destination.

John has really enjoyed working and playing and being part of Youth Vision. He always brings stories home. It has been a really positive experience to come and visit. Thank you.

I liked getting my certificates.

The TCV qualification will help me get a job.

I know that youth vision has benefitted Jay. It is giving him more confidence and challenging him to work in a group with people he does not know. Both skills that will help him when he moves on from school. Jay looks forward to these sessions and I genuinely grateful for the support that you have shown Jay. I think his chances of achieving a positive destination when he leaves school have been increased by the support of Youth Vision.

I am writing to thank you for such an insightful afternoon in to the work that you are providing to some of Edinburgh’s most vulnerable young people. It was good to hear first hand from the young people themselves how they are benefiting from taking part in the woodland experience programme.

It was also good to hear from you about the work you have planned for the future.

I would offer my support to any funding application that you make to the Pentland /South West Neighbourhood Partnership.
