Welcome to our new look! Read the story behind it.
Building mental health & skills with young mentors
Growing2gether trains young people facing disadvantage to become mentors and changemakers – at school, at home and in their communities. We are Scotland’s only charity blending Positive Psychology with trauma-sensitive practice.
Inspiring Young Minds
Transforming Communities
We believe every young person can shine. Though sometimes buried under hardship, their light waits to be seen. Our work helps them find it.
Our youth-powered, evidence-backed programmes have a measurable impact on mental health, real-world skills and self-belief.
‘Everyone at Growing2gether has become my second family. They’ve taught me so much about myself and I’ve loved every second of it.’
Emma, 14
Mentorship in reverse – two lives transformed
Rooted in Transpersonal and Positive Psychology, this is Scotland’s only trauma-sensitive programme that trains vulnerable teens to become mentors to nursery children.
The ripple effect: self-belief to social leadership
Youth Social Action Groups step forward to develop their own projects – they tackle real local issues that transform their communities.

‘Helping children in nursery helped me to find skills and qualities I never really knew I had. I am so happy
I got this opportunity because I would never have got the chance to improve myself to become who I am now.’
John, 15
