Keep an eye out for events leading up to 1 December – MYDG’s 15th birthday!  On Dec 1st, 1997, Lauren Venn and Peter Airlie were the first MYDG youth workers to support and develop the work of The Klub (a hut at Silverknowes Primary), The Junction (Williamson and MacDonald social areas in Craigroyston High School) and St Paul’s (Craigroyston Community Centre).  MYDG never saw itself as the ‘owner’ of any particular organisation, it saw itself as maximising the impact of what was already there, building on what was positive in the community.  Since then, buildings have been demolished and venues have changed but the work continues and young people still want to participate in spaces where they feel welcome and safe.

Date – Friday 22nd June                 Time- 12.30 – 2.30pm (refreshments from midday)

Find out about what MYDG do and how we do it!

16 S1 Students are cycling through the elements from Muirhouse to Ratho to spend 3 days at the Pilton Retreat doing outdoor activities such as climbing and canoeing as well as group work and cooking.  The 3 days has been developed in partnership between Craigroyston Community High School and MY Adventure and supported by MYDG peer volunteers trained as cycle leaders and belayers!
