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.

Youth Vision is good; I’ve learnt a lot of things, like making fires. I only get these experiences at Youth Vision. It’s somewhere I can prepare food, which I like, and cook food for people.

Lime mortaring and safe tool use were my biggest achievements and I would like to do traditional plastering and rendering as a career.

I enjoyed exploring at Youth Vision.

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.

Adam has gained more independence and confidence. He has loved coming here and gaining survival knowledge. He has learnt his strength is more than he thought and that he can achieve if he tries and doesn’t give up. He has loved meeting new people and being part of a fantastic group. Thanks to Youth Vision for all their help and support and for helping Adam to see he has got great potential.

Jordon has loved every minute here. It has helped build his confidence with others. He has been much keener to be out and about and having a bit more space has been great for me.

It's fun and worth going to and gives you good skills for future life and its good because its not taught in a classroom.

Youth Vision gets me more active, it gets me out of the city into the country, which is good for my health.

Really enjoyed the experience. The young people that come to Youth Vision really get a lot out of it, as it pushes their comfort zone and helps them to explore their strengths in a non-threatening way that helps expand their horizons. I love, love, love it!
