💚🎉 THEY DID IT! £9,300 FUNDING SUCCESS! 🎉💚

We are absolutely bursting with pride! 🥹👏

These three incredible young ladies have helped GYAP secure an amazing £9,300 from the YOYO (You’re Only Young Once) Fund! 🌟

What makes this achievement even more special is that our young people were at the heart of the application! They came together, shared their ideas and even created their very own video to showcase their vision for our Senior Youth Work Programme. 🎥💚

Their idea? A programme designed, planned and delivered BY young people, FOR young people! 🙌

Over the coming year, this funding will give our senior young people the opportunity to take the lead, manage budgets, organise workshops and activities, and explore important topics including alcohol awareness, wellbeing and making positive choices.

And the best part? They get to decide what their programme looks like! 💪

💚 Girls, we are SO incredibly proud of you! You have shown what can happen when young people are given a voice, encouraged to dream big and supported to turn their ideas into reality.

A massive thank you to the Corra Foundation and YOYO Fund for making this possible and investing in our young people.

This is what youth work is all about! 🥰

🌟 Their voices. Their ideas. Their future. 🌟

🎉💗 HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY TO OUR GYAP CHARITY SHOP! 💗🎉

One year ago today, on the 4th November 2025, we signed the lease for our charity shop, and WOW… what a year it’s been! 🥳

What started as an idea has grown into something truly special, and we couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved in just 12 months!

💰 £83,697.54 IN TOTAL INCOME!

This includes charity shop sales and funding received between November 2025 and September 2026. An incredible achievement for our small charity!

But the biggest achievement of all isn’t the money raised. It’s the amazing people who make it all possible. ❤️

💗 OUR GYAP FAMILY! 💗

Our wonderful volunteers are the absolute heart and soul of our charity shop. They give up their own time, day after day, to keep our doors open, welcome our customers, sort through donations and make our shop the special place it is today.

Without them, we simply couldn’t do what we do!

Their dedication allows us to generate vital unrestricted income, helping us continue to deliver and develop youth services for the children and young people of Golspie.

And anyone who has spent five minutes in our shop will know… there is NEVER a dull moment! 🤣❤️

The laughter, friendships, memories and occasional chaos are what make our little GYAP family so special!

♻️ We’ve also achieved so much in our first year, from developing our reuse and repair activities and introducing our community Borrow Box to building connections with ILM Highland, the Highland Climate Hub and Circular Communities Scotland.

We’re incredibly grateful to Highland Council for the Reuse and Repair funding that enabled us to employ our fantastic Charity Shop Manager, Amanda. 💗

A huge thank you to our trustees, funders, partner organisations and every single person in our wonderful community who has supported us.

Whether you’ve donated, shopped, volunteered, shared our posts or simply popped in for a blether, you’ve all played a part in our journey.

As we prepare to celebrate at our Awards Night on Friday 13th November, we can’t wait to recognise some of the incredible people who have helped make this first year possible! 🏆💗

One year, one little charity shop, countless memories and one amazing GYAP family! ❤️

Here’s to many more years of laughter, friendships and making a difference together!

THANK YOU, GOLSPIE! 💗🎉
