The Charity

Growing2gether, an innovative Scottish charity, formed as an independent SCIO in August 2022.
Growing2gether was originally part of global youth charity Ecologia Youth Trust, and,  since January 2017, we have reached over 1330 young people and children across the Highlands. 

Our ambition is to expand to other deprived areas including Dundee and Aberdeen.  We train local school staff in skills to deliver the programme in the future with ongoing outcome evaluation and quality assurance provided by the charity. Through our partnership with Highland Council, we train Youth Development Officers employed by the Council, who work alongside school facilitators.

Our Mission

Growing2gether gives young people who start off life at a disadvantage the support they need to thrive. This support includes access to a decent education, the confidence, skills and resources to shape their own future, and the family support vital to their health and wellbeing.

Our Vision

A world where all young people can realise their unique potential, improve their lives for the long term, and contribute to stronger communities.
