Just shared reflections at #UKCGE2025 on navigating the hidden curriculum of doctoral life through care, community & critique.
Beyond outputs & metrics, what if thriving meant collective care, slower timelines, and reimagined success?
Letโs keep rethinking together. #PhDlife
Exciting news: I'm joining @CYCJScotland as a Participation Advisor! This role aligns so closely with my passions โ rights-based practice, co-production, & amplifying lived experience. I'll miss being at @DRCYouthProject, but Iโm still around a few hours/week. Watch this space!
Spoke today at the UNESCO RIELA Spring School on โThe Edges of Belonging.โ I shared reflections on youth work, care, survival, resistance, and how collective action often begins in quiet, relational ways. Grateful to be a part of this conversation.
๐ข Save the dates! The International Association for Community Developmentโs World Community Development Conference 2026 is coming to Glasgow โ 29 Juneโ2 July 2026!

Here's a short video our youth film group made showcasing the latest Your Voice event we hosted in February @CampusYoker. The night was a massive success with over 100 young people attending from throughout the NW! We worked with some brilliant partners at Your Voice who showcased the great work they do in NW Glasgow. None of this would have been possible without the North West Youth Network @NWYHealth_GLA. An amazing platform for youth organisations in our community to share knowledge and resources. If you're not involved, get involved! Everyone looking forward to the next event now. @G15YouthProject@G20YouthProject@YoMoGlasgow@GlasgowEcoTrust@MenScotland@MAVscotland@NavigatorsScot@pathfindjobs4u@glasgowlife@COPEScotland@NWRCGlasgow
Seeing our Health & Beauty initiative grow over the last 2 years has been so exciting for everyone involved with @DRCYouthProject We have worked together with some truly amazing young people, and it is their experience which is captured in our latest promotional video. Our film making group have been desperate to release this one! Filming took place in Feb/ March with editing being completed in April/ May. The end result is quality ๐ฝ๏ธ๐๏ธ๐ ๐โ๏ธ
None of this would have been possible without the support of our local schools. They shared our vision and backed the development of support and vocational training for young people who were in danger of missing out on opportunities. The most exciting part is this is only the beginning of the journey! ๐ @johnpaulacademy@JPAcademyPE@pathfindjobs4u #youthwork #training #schools #pupils #learning #development #GlasgowNW
We're proud to unveil the new video promoting all the vital work done in our shop @NorthWestPantry. Our youth film making group, led by Joe (aged 21), have worked so hard to bring together the thoughts of our members & the experiences of youth volunteers who help support the pantry. Filming took place over the Winter months, with Joe taking the time to edit and create the final cut with a team of industry professionals. Joe is now working towards a career in children's television with support from the project. We'd like to say a big thank you to our fantastic partners, @fareshare, @TSPNOnline & all our own members for ongoing support. Also a thank you to top Glasgow folk heros @the_poachers for the use of their beautiful track 'Annabelle' on the video. Hope you enjoy & please share far and wide @pathfindjobs4u #youthwork #community #food #support #together #CommunityEngagement #volunteering #deliveringrealchange
