I learnt that I have good leadership skills and I am good at communicating.

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.

I have engaged with Youth Vision through a pupil on two occasions. On both, Youth Vision have been able to engage a young person who has opted to disengage with any other service and have managed to progress their life skills and, through this, their self-esteem.

Youth Vision is quite unique in that it engages with pupils over a longer term which allows for strong relationships to build and sustainable changes in behaviour. Any further support that they could provide beyond school would be extremely beneficial – often when young people leave, the supports fall away and pupils are unable to sustain their success/positive destination. If Youth Vision were able to continue work until a young person’s next step has stabilised this would greatly improve outcomes for young people.

I liked getting my certificates.

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.

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

Tool safety was my biggest achievement as I want to get a job as a joiner.

It’s an amazing place and has a really calm feel about it. Sean and Jordon have both gained so much from their experience here. This has translated into a better performance in the classroom. Thank you!

The TCV qualification will help me get a job.

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.
