Awards Plus

Supporting achievement for all through youth awards

 

After summer 2024 Awards Plus is not currently planning any further activity.

Awards Plus provides nature-based youth awards, expeditions and 1:1 mentoring support – with a focus on young people who might need extra support. This includes direct delivery, guidance, training and signposting.

14-25 year-olds.

Individuals, youth groups and schools across Edinburgh & The Lothians.

Young people who might miss out on opportunities – for practical or financial reasons, due to additional support needs, and for reasons associated with mental health difficulties.

Youth awards – outdoors-focused, nature-based, adventurous.

Extra, tailored support, especially for those who benefit most from additional help.

Connections, pathways and progression between youth awards.
