Our Strive Group had an invaluable conversation with Callum from Medics against Violence, that went along way to hit home with group. The boys then went swimming at Scotstoun, had lunch and stopped past our room at the Heart of Scotstoun Community Centre play some pool and PlayStation. A constructive and fun day had by all involved.

@Prev_Justice Calling it a “youth violence summit” frames young people as the problem. Let’s be clear: young people aren’t the issue they’re the solution.
We had the opportunity to spend some time today with a group of young men @St_Rochs who are part of our new On the Edge programme. We heard about the positive impact the programme has helped them make on all areas of their lives - so inspirational!! #schoolnavigators
We had a visit from practitioners students & academics from the youth and community programme @Newman_Uni on their study visit to Scotland with @UofGlasgow@SineadGormally . It was great to be able to tell them about all the work we do @MAVscotland
You might have heard me on the radio last week with @callum2591 when we mentioned this new @MAVscotland programme. It’s got huge potential and we need another School Navigator to add to the team to drive it forward
Please share with anyone who might be interested.
We are looking for a School Navigator to join our On the Edge programme team in the Glasgow area. On the Edge is an innovative new programme that works with young people in the school setting to improve their wellbeing, engagement and life chances.
