Mentoring

For any young people who are struggling and would appreciate meeting one of our leaders over coffee, we are available to meet with you. Whether there's specific difficulties you are facing or you would just appreciate some one to talk to, we are here for you!

Please let us know if this is something that would be benefit you or your young person as this is available for all S1-S6 pupils.

School support

The Shed already engages with many young people who come through our doors, but we didn't want to limit our engagement to those who were attending our facility. We work with local Primary schools to assist with their ongoing transition into Secondary, as well as supporting any individual difficulties they may be experiencing. We also work the Nicolson Institute to be available at set times in the week for any pupils to meet with one of our staff, as well as having individual support available if necessary.

Please contact us directly or the school staff for more information, or if your young person would benefit from.

COVID 19 UPDATE

As restriction ease, we are excited to say that most of our original youth and community programmes are open!

All groups and clubs, with the exception of Saturday P7 drop-ins and Little Stars, are up and running.

Numbers are still slightly limited as per government guidelines, and necessary procedures are still being followed to ensure the health and safety of anyone attending our facility.

We are reachable via our social media platforms Facebook and Instagram, and anyone can follow to be kept up to date with any updates!

Once restrictions allow, we will look to open up further and will continue to ensure that we are available for you! Please do not hesitate to get in touch via our contact details found here on our website if you have any further questions or concerns.
