The impact of ECVYWS on the lives of young people in the Earlston catchment area
ECVYWS, a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organization (SCIO), was founded in 2010 with a vision to provide comprehensive support and opportunities to the youth living in the Earlston catchment area, including the towns of Earlston, Lauder, and the surrounding villages. This geographical focus was chosen to address the specific needs of young people in this rural community.
Working in their local communities, each partner organisation will work with young people based on their needs, using one-to-one support and targeted group sessions, as well as youth group drop-ins and activities.
Initial work on the project began in September 2018 and it is hoped that over 400 young people aged between 10 and 18 years will engage in Stepping Stones over the next three years.
The project will also support training, networking and cross-Border activities and be brought together with joint evaluation to add value and impact. Volunteers of all ages will support the project and will be crucial to its ongoing success.
Beyond Earlston is a registered charity based in the Scottish Borders we provide a variety of activities in the towns and villages which make up our catchment area. We provide activities to young people aged 12- 18 irrespective of gender or ability.
We are a volunteer friendly project through collaboration with Volunteer Centre Borders which shows that we care and support our volunteers with inductions, training and support when required. If you think you have time or skills to share and an interest in working alongside young people – please feel free to get in contact and see if we can make a project happen. Its up to you… you can come for one session, be part of a project for a short while or stay and be involved for a while longer.
