Halloween 2026 in Falkirk involved a group quiz with prizes! Biscuit decorating! & spooky decoration making.

Young people decided on every activity and youth workers made it happen.
Can’t wait to see what their ideas are for the festive party at the end of 2026!

Our Dundee group recently had a visit from Laura from Youth Scotland who led a tote bag tie dye session! We can’t wait to see the results.

Our youth group in Perth recently had a fun session playing ‘Budgeting & Finance’ a game their youth worker came up with after the young people asked for a session on ‘how to save up for big purchases’ but also said ‘make it like D&D’. Young people had a great time designing characters and rolling dice to determine their financial fates!

On Saturday staff and vols joined a group of Edinburgh and Lothian LGBTQ+ peeps to engage in a fantastic workshop at the Seabird Centre in North Berwick with Charlotte. We then went on a fantastic boat trip around the Bass Rock. Dolphins, seals, a LOT of seabirds and gugas. Thank you to the Sea-Changers fund for helping this happen.

Visit Tramway to see the AIDS Memorial Quilt!

TYG (Trans Youth Glasgow) and StandOut youth groups spent some time this morning with their youth workers Alix & Maria visiting Tramway’s exhibition and reflecting on the history of the AIDS pandemic.

StandOut & TYG young people stepped out of our regular evening groups for a Friday morning adventure.
We started the morning with a workshop with the Butterfly Conservation at the Hidden Gardens. We saw moths up close, smelled different kinds of mint; drew on logs; and wrapped the morning with having a emotional sneak peek to the AIDS Memorial Quilt Exhibition at Tramway.

Huge thank you to Hidden Gardens; Butterfly Conservation and Tramway for the wonderful day.

LGBTQ+ young people in Glasgow loved visiting the science centre today! We learned the science behind building the tallest towers possible (see evidence of one tower which collapsed). We also loved learning a great many facts about dinosaurs!!
