If you are 13-25 and you have experienced discrimination, marginalisation or other similar barriers, Creative Stirling would like to invite you to an event next weekend. This full-day workshop is free to join but you must sign up, as spaces will be very limited. If you're interested, take a look at the details below and find the signup link at the bottom.

A Window into Our World: Stained Glass Workshop with Shonah Escombe
Saturday 15th August, 10am-5pm (full-day workshop)

Join stained glass artist Shonah Escombe for a creative and welcoming day exploring identity, belonging and the spaces we share through glass art.

Through collage, drawing and group discussion, you'll develop ideas inspired by your own experiences, community and sense of place. You'll then be introduced to stained glass techniques including fused glass, copper foiling and soldering, creating a unique glass piece to take home.

Free event, booking essential. Suitable for all experience levels. No previous experience is required, and all materials will be provided.

Please only reserve a place if you intend to attend. This workshop is costly to deliver, spaces are very limited, and we'd like as many people as possible to have the opportunity to take part.

To all our amazing Young Carers getting their exam results today – good luck!

We know you've worked incredibly hard while balancing school and your caring role, and we're so proud of you.

As part of our team are sharing their own stories to show that everyone's journey is different. There isn't one "right" path, and your exam results don't define what you can achieve.

Whatever your results, and whatever comes next, remember there's no wrong path. We'll be here to support you every step of the way. 💛

We at Stirling Young Carers would like to extend a massive thank you to The Linden Inn - Bar & Steakhouse in Stirling for generously supporting our service by kindly welcoming us along on Monday and providing some delicious food for everyone.
With particular thanks to the manager, Alasdair, for his helpfulness, patience and kindness when some of us were perhaps running a little low on some of those qualities.
We really can't thank you enough!

Meet the Team! 👋

This is Ava!

She joined Stirling Young Carers in October 2025 as a student on placement and is continuing her journey with the team as a volunteer.

Favourite part of the role:
"My favourite part of the role is building meaningful rapport with the young carers and creating a supportive, welcoming space for them."

Most memorable moment with SYC:
"The Pickle Party! 🥒"

Hobbies outside of volunteering:
"I enjoy attending concerts, playing video games, going on walks, and I'm always on a journey to learn more—knowledge is everything!"

Motto in life:
"Live it, own it, take control of it." ✨

A huge thank you to everyone at Sauchie Home Farm for giving our Young Carers such a wonderful day out! 🐑🚜🌿

From exploring the beautiful surroundings to splashing in the burn, it was a chance for our Young Carers to relax, have fun, and make some fantastic memories away from their caring responsibilities.

Thank you for helping create smiles that will last a long time! 💚

🎨 A huge THANK YOU to all of our amazing Young Carers who joined us for our fantastic Art Week! 💙

We had such a wonderful week getting creative, exploring different art techniques, and producing some incredible pieces of artwork. The week ended with a brilliant exhibition at Smiths Art Gallery on Friday, where everyone had the chance to celebrate their creativity and achievements.

A very special thank you to Arts Included for leading such an inspiring week and helping our young people express themselves through art. Your support, encouragement, and creativity made the experience truly unforgettable.

Well done to all of our talented Young Carers – we're so proud of everything you created! 🌟

More thanks going out to Stirling Councillors Bob Buchanan SNP for Bannockburn Eastern Villages, williefergusonsnp, and Cllr Josh Fyvie; and to Jim Thomson from Stirling Albion FC for coming along to our Young Carers' End of Term Party! It was wonderful to talk to each of you and we look forward to some really positive partnerships going forward.

And, of course, as always, another big thank you goes out to our wonderful volunteers, who make our service possible! And particularly, in this case, to Robert, who brought so much of this night together with his dedication, his determination and his Olympic level brass neck.
