Foyer Learning

19/05/2026

The next King's Trust Team will be starting on the 1st of June here in Peterhead. This programme is for anyone you know between 16-25 who is not in work or education and wants to work on their employability skills, build their confidence, and help them set their sights on a brighter future.

Every young person will take part in a fundraiser and work to better our community with a project. They will go on a two-week work placement doing something that interests them, then taking everything we have learned and putting it on paper for our CVs and learning other important employability skills. All of this, while getting to know other young people in their area, making friends, and becoming the person they are meant to be.

The program is completely free for everyone, and the participants will get a qualification from NESCol for all the hard work they put in. They will also get a first aid and food hygiene certificate to add to their CV.

The program is incredible for every young person that takes part, and it has the power to change a person’s life if they give it a shot.

If you have any questions or want to refer a young person to the Peterhead King’s Trust, please email Mekaela Buchan at [email protected]

Two weeks. Real workplaces. Real graft. 💪

Our Peterhead King’s Trust Team 4 have just wrapped up their work placements across Peterhead and beyond, getting a proper taste of the world of work with:
Motive Energy, Symposium, Jack Taylor Seafoods, AF Yule, Palace Hotel, Aberdeen Foyer, Fruit Mart, Score Europe, Hey Sweetie & Cancer Research Fraserburgh 🙌

Shoutout to Connor P, who spent his placement at Motive Energy – and absolutely smashed it 👏

Here’s what Mark from Motive had to say:
“He’s done everything he has been asked to quickly and safely and been here early every day and ready for the toolbox talk with his boiler suit on.”

That’s what it’s all about! 🔥

Connor summed it up best:
“Very tiring but so fun… I’ve learnt heaps, it’s been such a good experience.”

Even better – Connor’s mum says the difference in him has been massive. More confidence, more drive, and a young person really starting to see what they’re capable of ❤️

This is why work placements matter.
Confidence grows. Skills build. Futures start to take shape.

Massive thanks to all the employers who opened their doors and backed our young people 👏

Team Challenge is all about young people planning and delivering something that makes a real difference in their community – and this one is fully led by the team from start to finish 💪

They’re building skills, confidence and teamwork along the way, while helping others at the same time.

If you can support, all donations are welcome 🥫
Drop-off: Marywell Centre, Marywell Street, Aberdeen
Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm

Big shout out to Aberdeen King’s Trust Team 4! 👏

The team recently completed their community project at Transition Extreme Sports Ltd. Extreme, giving the upstairs multi-purpose space a fresh coat of paint. Proper team effort from start to finish and a chance to build skills along the way 🎨

They also organised their own Quiz Night fundraiser (hosted by Transition Extreme) and smashed it – raising £200 for the project 🙌

Massive thanks to David Kindness from Robertson Group who linked in with Crown Paint and helped secure donations of paint, brushes, rollers and dust sheets – made a huge difference!

And of course, thanks to everyone who supported the team along the way 👊
