In December 2020, I was so happy to find out that I was successful in securing the role of Project Worker with the organisation, includem, here in Aberdeen. Working with young people to help them fulfill positive lives is a huge passion of mine and I am thoroughly enjoying my role so far.  I enjoy being able to bring joy to the young people I’m working with during challenging circumstances. 

Includem are a Scotland-wide charity who are there for young people and families 24/7. We are a youth support charity that works with young people to help them transform their lives. We provide intensive, bespoke support to young people and families in challenging circumstances.

Our model of support is based upon building solid relationships of trust. Through this approach we are able to help young people make positive life choices and progress towards the type of future they want to live. We know that every young person has endless potential. With the right support, we can help them recognise this too.. 

Includem’s Young Person's Fund provides extra support to young people we work with, many of whom are affected by poverty and don’t always have access to things that many of us take for granted. Over the years the Fund has enabled young people to access activities and facilities in their local communities, as well as providing emergency support. Whether it's swimming lessons or football boots, a place on a training course or a warm winter coat, the Young Person's Fund is there to make sure every young person gets the extra support they need.
