In 2027, some of our young people and staff will be taking part in an Ocean Youth Trust Scotland voyage.

The trip will take place around the Western Isles. Our young people will become the crew of the boat, learning new skills, building confidence and even receiving a qualification at the end.

To get an idea of what they will experience, Craig, Lisa and Iain were invited by Ocean Youth Trust to a day sail, and loved their time on the waves.

Lianne Thomson, Community and Transition Support Worker at the Trust:

"Ocean Youth Trust provides an incredible and unique experience for young people across Scotland. Spending time on the open sea with experienced professionals allows young people to build confidence, resilience, teamwork, and practical skills that will support them throughout their lives.

"For many of our young people, particularly those growing up in the city, this may be their first real experience of the sea. The opportunities and learning that come from this are truly transformative. We are excited to strengthen our partnership and look forward to working together much more in the coming year."

Thank you to Ocean Youth Trust for the invite. We're already looking forward to next year!
