What a night!

On Friday, our fabulous ambassadors hosted the Kaleidoscope Ball at the beautiful Prestonfield House, raising vital funds for MYPAS.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, donated, danced the night away and helped make the evening such a success. We’re also incredibly grateful to everyone who so generously donated prizes to our auction β€” your support means so much.

And, of course, a massive thank you to our brilliant Kaleidoscope Committee. Your time, energy, dedication and generosity brought the whole evening to life, and we couldn’t have done it without you!

We’re so excited to see the difference these funds will make for young people across Midlothian, East Lothian and the Scottish Borders.

The wonderful Dearbhla is going the extra mile for MYPAS this Sunday, taking part in the Edinburgh Kiltwalk to raise vital funds for our services across Midlothian, East Lothian and the Scottish Borders πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈ πŸŽ‰

A word from Dearbhla:

β€œThis weekend I'm doing the Kiltwalk in support of MYPAS. Working with young people in a high school every day, I know how important it is that they have access to trusted support when they need it most. MYPAS provides invaluable services for young people in our local area supporting with their mental health, wellbeing, and life challenges. I'm delighted to be raising funds to help them continue their amazing work.”

We're incredibly grateful to Dearbhla for taking on this challenge and helping to support young people across our communities.

If you'd like to support Dearbhla's Kiltwalk and help MYPAS continue providing essential services to young people, please donate here:

Our LGBT+ young people have been keeping busy this summer! 🌈

From Kendo to archery to ballet, they've been trying out new sports and activities and having fun in a welcoming, supportive environment as part of our summer programme.

A huge shout-out to the MYPAS LGBT+ team for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to creating these fantastic opportunities for our young people. πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈπŸ€

This summer, MYPAS' LGBT project has been busy playing sport! We've invited coaches from a range of different sports to come and play with us, including BADMINTONscotland, Dunedin Fencing Club and Scottish Archery, as well as heading out to visit sites across Midlothian and Edinburgh for other activities!

We aim to make sport accessible for everyone, helping to level the playing field for LGBT young people, who are disproportionately less likely to engage in physical activity. That includes young people with a wide range of access needs, including one young person who attends with their star service animal! We work with LGBT young people aged 12–21, of all physical abilities, to empower them to try new things and discover what sports or movement work best for them and their bodies.

When we're not playing sport, MYPAS' LGBT project works hard to provide social groups and 1:1 support for young people across Midlothian and East Lothian, ensuring they can access safe, inclusive support services that meet their needs πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ.

Our LGBT+ social group had a fantastic time taking part in the Edinburgh Pride Parade the other week! 🌈

Before the parade, everyone got creative making colourful banners and signs, and it was wonderful to see so much imagination, teamwork and Pride on display. Here are a few snapshots from our banner-making session!
