Garden Project with Strathmore sheltered housing

On Monday, our open group began a gardening project with Strathmore Sheltered Housing.
Our young people are supporting the residents who live there in the upkeep of their gardens and they made good progress clearing out one of the large flower beds.
Will and Marilia have now achieved 50 hours and 25 hours of volunteering with the Saltire Award. Well done to you both for all your hard work, that’s an incredible accomplishment.
All of us at the Association would like to wish Will a very happy 18th birthday, we hope you had a fantastic day celebrating!

It is our mission to improve the lives of young people.

We do this by offering bespoke activities and awards for young people aged 13-25, giving them the skills and confidence they need to succeed in life.

The Starfish way

A program of fun and exciting activities designed for you. Many of the activities take place in the grounds of Megginch Castle. An amazing place that only we have access to – your very own castle estate where you can be safe and learn new skills.

Distance learning hub

You can now learn for free from anywhere at any time with a wide range of over 40 themed sets of modules, with each set providing activities to cover at least 12 weeks.

It can also be counted towards your DofE Award.
