🏅 WISE Summer Camp: Part 4

A very special part of Summer Camp was seeing our Junior Mentors help lead activities for the younger children. 💙💛

Our Junior Mentors are young people who have previously taken part in WISE programmes and are now stepping into leadership roles. During camp, they helped run Olympics-style stations such as relay races, an obstacle course, and an egg and spoon challenge.

They explained activities, encouraged children, and scored teams not only on speed and skill but also on teamwork, resilience, kindness, character, and team spirit. They made on-the-spot adaptations, including an eyes-closed version of the egg and spoon challenge, and even stood up in front of the whole camp to share their feedback, which was a brilliant example of communication and leadership in action! 🌱

Seeing young people who were once mentees become role models for younger children is always incredibly special. It shows how mentoring can continue to grow beyond the original programme.

A huge well done to our brilliant Junior Mentors! 💙💛

With thanks to The National Lottery Community Fund.

Could you give one afternoon a week? 💙💛

We’re looking for Weekly Mentors to join our School Mentoring Programme from October to May.

As a Weekly Mentor, you’ll support P6 and P7 children through 1:1 mentoring within a small group setting. You’ll build a consistent relationship, listen, encourage, and use our WISEbooks to help children grow in confidence, resilience and self-understanding.

One mentor told us:

“It was really rewarding to see their confidence grow over time, watch them open up each week, and know that I was able to support them in a positive way.”

You don’t need previous mentoring experience. We provide training, resources, and support.

🌋 WISE Summer Camp: Part 3

Another highlight of our time-travelling adventure was Ancient Rome and Pompeii, where children learned about Mount Vesuvius before creating and erupting their very own volcanoes!

Children and mentors worked together to build, paint, decorate, and finally erupt their volcanoes. They practised teamwork, taking turns, supporting one another, problem-solving, and shared responsibility.

Activities like this bring together so much of the WISE approach, including creativity 🎨 , curiosity 🔬 , and ✨ character strengths in action, all while connecting with others 🤝 and having lots of fun! 💙💛

🕰 WISE Summer Camp: Part 2

Our time-travelling adventure continued through Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece🏺✨ with plenty of crafts, teamwork, and character building along the way.

Children decorated terracotta pot and jewellery inspired by Ancient Egypt and designed Greek masks for storytelling and performance 🎭. They also took on group challenges like the spaghetti and marshmallow pyramid challenge, practising teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and resilience as they often had to pause, rethink their strategy, encourage each other, and try again. 🌱

These creative activities gave children the chance to try new things, express themselves, build confidence, patience, and resilience, and connect with mentors and peers in a relaxed, meaningful way. 💙💛

Our mentors help children grow in confidence, resilience, and self-understanding through safe, supportive relationships and our character and wellbeing curriculum.

Weekly Mentors join our school mentoring programme from October to May, supporting P6 and P7 children through weekly 1:1 mentoring sessions.

Flexible Volunteers support WISE throughout the year through occasional session cover, Family Days, holiday projects, and community activities.

⏳ WISE Summer Camp: Part 1 🌟

The theme of this year's Summer Camp was Time Travellers, and children and mentors journeyed through different time periods while building teamwork, confidence, and character strengths along the way.

Each camp begins by creating group agreements! This time, each “kingdom” decided how they wanted to treat one another, what rules would help everyone feel safe, and how they could show strengths like empathy, good judgement, fairness, and respect. 🏰

Children also received their WISE passports 📘. These are another feature of each WISE camp! They guided the travellers through the camp, helping them reflect on their past, present, and future selves as they moved through each stop on the journey.

WISE camps are about more than fun activities. They create safe, engaging spaces where children can build relationships, grow in confidence, and feel part of a wider community! 🌱

With thanks to The National Lottery Cmmunity Fund for supporting this camp and our wider Community Programme. ✨

🎓 Climbing Gym Graduate Day! 🧗‍♀️

Recently, we brought our WISE graduates to Brushworks Climbing in Townhead for a brilliant day of challenge, confidence-building, and fun. 💙💛

Everyone loved trying out the climbing walls and there were lots of opportunities for encouragement, planning the next move, and learning that progress often comes through patience, practice, and slow, steady effort. Climbing was a great reminder of so many character strengths, including resilience, self-control, perseverance, and courage. 🌱

Afterwards, we continued the day with team-building, problem-solving, and communication activities as part of our leadership training and Junior Mentor preparation.

These Graduate Days help us stay connected with young people beyond the core programme, continue supporting their growth, and create pathways into leadership.

With thanks to The National Lottery Community Fund for supporting this day and our wider community events. ✨

🌿 Graduate Day at Pollok Park & the Burrell Collection 🎓

A little while ago, we brought together some of our WISE graduates -- young people who have previously completed our mentoring programme -- for a day out at Pollok Park and the Burrell Collection. 💙💛

The group enjoyed a treasure hunt, explored the museum, walked around the park, and of course, loved seeing the Highland cows! 🐮🌳

We run Graduate Days to stay connected with young people after they've completed our mentoring programme, to continue supporting them throughout high school and create opportunities for friendship, confidence, leadership, growth, and new experiences. 🌱

This day, along with our wider community events, runs with thanks to The National Lottery Community Fund 💛
