The Who Cares? Scotland Helpline is a lifelong offer open to Care Experienced people of any age across Scotland. Following on from the positive feedback on our Covid-19 Helpline throughout the first few months of the Coronavirus crisis, it is evident that a dedicated phone line is a valued source of connection for our community.
The Engagement Team has long provided support to LGBTQI+ Groups within Secondary Schools – Elgin Academy, Lossie High school and Keith Grammar.
We are ready to work with Parters and Young people to shape LGBTQI+ support into a sustainable and highly beneficial suoort network for young people.
We also look forward to working with Nikki Darling from Sacro & The Youth and Community Development Officer for LGBT youth Scotland for Inverness and Highlands. She has been awarded a pot of money to provide LGBT awareness and 1-1 support in Moray. These sessions will take places within Schools, Youth Work settings and a digital outreach.
Sacro have piloted a LGBT Awareness session within Speyside High school alongside Susan Thom from the NHS.
Our future idea is to train Young People as peer educators who could be part of delivery to other agencies and organisations that work with young people. Police Scotland Volunteers have already shown an interest in this project.
My office is in the community centre but may be accessed via the school ( beside the PE Dept) it’s called the Kiltbase and next to reception at Buckie. You may wish to come along at break, lunch or after school, there may be times I pop into your class. I enjoy getting to know and supporting young people whether you need support or maybe are looking to get involved in any volunteering or even start up a group!
Some of my groups just like to chat! Some like to be arty! Some like to bring awareness around a topic that is passionate to them… groups can help with confidence, friendships, feelings and so much more! I can offer advice, support or just be that person you can have a blether with!
I can also support you with wider achievement awards get in touch to find out more!
Things I enjoy are my family, definitely Netflix and most of all my dog! I love going on holidays preferably hotter climates! If you ever need to get in contact you
