Our Story

Canongate Youth

Our vision is for all children and young people to be safe, heard, nurtured and given opportunities to realise their potential.

Our mission is to support children and young people who face barriers and challenges as they make their way through childhood, adolescence and early adulthood.

Since 1977 we have been working alongside children and young people aged 5-25 to provide a safe, welcoming and fun space. We offer a relevant and holistic programme of services to support children and young people with issues they are facing and look at ways we can help them navigate these issues. Our provision includes youth and children’s clubs, holiday activities, employability support, group work, 1-1 support and outdoor play.

Our Values

We have 5 core values that underpin all the work that we do

Trustworthy

We are accountable and transparent in our actions. We will do what we say we will wherever we can.

Fun

All our sessions and activities will be fun and make children and young people feel good about taking part in them.

Child & Young Person Led

We put children and young people at the core of what we do. We listen to them and involve them as much as we can in decision making and designing of activities and sessions. Their opinion matters!

Nurturing

We support children and young people to be themselves and treat them with care and respect. We provide a safe and welcoming space for them to be, belong and become.

Empowering

We help children and young people make decisions that are their own. We listen to them about what they want from their life and support them to overcome challenges to get to where they want to be.
