Hard to believe, the summer is over, the schools are back and our ongoing school support programme with John Paul Academy is back in business.

It was great to welcome back some familiar faces this week and introduce ourselves to a few new recruits as another year of Health & Beauty training gets underway.

The group were straight into the practical work, working in pairs and trying their hand at nails, hair curling, make-up and eyebrow waxing with support from our trained Beauty Therapist.

We're looking forward to seeing how the group progresses over the coming months, building their skills and getting plenty of hands-on experience along the way.

Good to be back.

More Pathfinder success!

Brilliant to see Taite secure employment with Scotmid!

Taite has been involved with DRC for a number of years and has become a key youth volunteer within our North West Community Pantry. More recently, he joined our Pathfinder youth employability programme, completing training, gaining experience through volunteering and preparing for his move into the workplace.

With brilliant support from our Pathfinder partners at WorkingRite Taite progressed into a 12-week placement with Scotmid. He clearly made an impression, and we're delighted that his hard work has now resulted in a contract and paid employment.

Taite has put the work in and fully deserves his opportunity.

A massive well done Taite, and a big thank you to WorkingRite, Scotmid, Store Manager Gary and everyone involved in supporting him along the way.

Looking for something to do after school?

Our Scotstoun 12–19s youth club runs every Monday and Thursday from 5–8pm at Heart of Scotstoun.

There's always plenty happening. Come along to play pool or games, cook something, get involved in sports and creative activities, or just grab a seat and spend some time with your pals and our youth workers.

So far this year the group have been to M&Ds, tubing at the ski club, fishing, climbing, cooking pizzas in the community garden, heading out on more trips, trying new activities and helping us decide what they'd like to do next. There's also support available around school, training, jobs or anything else you might want a hand with.

We've had a cracking summer and we're already making plans for the months ahead.

The club is completely free and open to anyone aged 12–19. No need to book, just come along and give it a try.

Heart of Scotstoun, 64 Balmoral Street, G14 0BL
Mondays & Thursdays
5pm–8pm

Spread the word!

After a busy day at M&D's, we headed back to Heart of Scotstoun to finish the day with a BBQ in the community garden.

We took a wee breather indoors first with some pool and Heads Up before heading outside for badminton, burgers and sausages. Magic having some time outdoors to unwind, have a laugh and catch up with the group after a full day out.

A big thank you to Julie and all the volunteers at Heart of Scotstoun for their continued support. The centre and community garden are such great assets to have right on our doorstep.

We're back at our Scotstoun 12–19s club this Thursday from 5–8pm. Spread the word!

...and just like that, the summer holidays have come to an end!

What better way to finish up before heading back to school than a club trip to M&D's with members of our Scotstoun and Yoker 12–19s groups.

The sun was shining as everyone met early doors at the DRC office before heading out for the day. The group made the most of it, getting round all the rides and having a ball along the way.

It's been a busy summer with plenty happening across our clubs and groups. Good luck to everyone heading back to school this week – especially those starting somewhere new!

CSCS success and the hits keep coming!

Brilliant work from Thomas and Ahmed, who have both passed their CITB Health, Safety and Environment Test for Operatives with flying colours.

Both boys put the work in beforehand, spending time on their training and mock tests to make sure they were properly prepared.

We've been offering free CSCS support to young people across North West Glasgow for over 14 years now and have helped hundreds through the process. There's no cost involved for the young person, all we ask is that they commit to the training and put the effort in.

Great things on the horizon for the boys. Thomas has a full-time job lined up, while Ahmed is moving on to a work placement through our Pathfinder employability programme.

Well done boys. Great work.

Today was a great example of what our Strive group is all about.

The morning started with a game of football at Goals, giving everyone the chance to get active, catch up and enjoy a bit of healthy competition.

In the afternoon, the group headed over to Yoker Community Campus, where they worked alongside our joiner, to build bookshelves for the new community library. It was a chance to learn some practical skills, understand the process of building flat-pack furniture properly and play a part in creating something that will be used by the local community.

It was also good to hear some of the group talking about what's next, with members showing an interest in our Pathfinder employability programme and the upcoming Ocean Youth Trust voyage.

Our Youth Worker Abbie recently travelled to Tanzania as part of a Community Development study visit through the .

During the trip, she visited community organisations in Dar es Salaam and Bagamoyo, learning about community-led approaches and seeing first-hand how local projects support people and strengthen their communities.

Abbie and her classmates also spent time with more than 65 young people, delivering games, singing, dancing and English activities as part of the visit.

The purpose of the trip was to explore how community development is delivered in a different part of the world and reflect on how those experiences can help shape practice back home.

A huge congratulations to Abbie, who has now completed her third year and is now qualified in Community Learning and Development.

Fantastic work from all involved.

We're now moving into week three of our new independent living programme, delivered in partnership with Glasgow Health and Social Care.

Over the past few weeks, the group have been getting stuck into a mix of practical DIY and everyday life skills. So far they've measured and cut timber, mounted shelves onto plasterboard, explored budgeting and money management, and learned more about gas and electrical safety around the home.

The sessions are all about building confidence through hands-on learning, giving young people the chance to develop practical skills they can take with them into everyday life.

It's been brilliant to see everyone getting involved, asking questions and giving new things a go. We're looking forward to finishing the programme strongly over the final session next week.

As part of our summer programme, we were back out in our new electric minibus this week, taking members of our Scotstoun and Yoker 12–19s groups along to Laser Quest.

The group were in brilliant form from start to finish. There was one clear mission for most of the young people... getting revenge on our youth worker Gordon! We're not sure he appreciated it quite as much as everyone else!

Hard to believe how quickly the summer holidays are flying by, but we've still got plenty to look forward to. This week we'll be heading to Bearsden Ski Club for tubing and to Air Thrill, and everyone is buzzing to get involved.

For more details, just give us a shout.
