'It's All About You'

Hi, you'll find a new team of highly motivated and experienced youth workers in the Maryhill, Kelvin and Canal area (Wyndford, Milton, Lambhill, Hamiltonhill, Ashfield, Firhill, Keppochill, Summerston, Cadder) of Glasgow responsible for working with you, statutory and voluntary organisations to develop services ideas and projects ideas with young people. Our main aim is to improve the way in which Coucil services are delivered, whilst ensuring your voice/opinions are being considered and acted upon.

We work with projects and organisations like:

North Maryhill Youth Project
Shakespeare Street Youth Club
Maryhill Youth Health Service
Young Carers Groups
North Glasgow Youth Shateholders Group
Cleveden Secondary
John Paul Academy
Ruchill Youth Project
Wanderes Youth Club
Young Possil Futures
Possil Internet Cafe
Local Housing Associations
Strathclyde Police
Health Boards

and many more, whilst also providing staff to work on the streets to find out what you would like in your area or just to have a gab!

We can also provide you with a understanding 'ear' to listen to your ideas, worries, concerns and if you need additional help refer you to the best person to offer you support and guidance on a range of topics such as bullying, training, youth clubs, volunteering coaching, etc.

As McFly say in their song 'It's All About You!'
