Thank you, Windward Fund & Foundation Scotland for awarding £19k towards our Counselling Service! Many YC's experience heightened levels of stress and anxiety. Our safe, confidential Counselling space offers relief and life-long coping strategies to help manage these emotions.

Fantastic day roller skating at Murrayfield!🛼 There were plenty of falls, lots of laughs, and even more smiles throughout the day. Everyone had a great time trying something new, supporting each other, and making great memories together. A fun and enjoyable day all round!🤗
