RIPPLE YOUTH SERVICES DURING THE PANDEMIC
Have a look at how our youth work service responded to the pandemic, putting young people and their needs at the heart of our work.
The Ripple received Generation CashBack support from Youth Scotland, through advice, staff training and equipment. This enabled the shift to an outreach approach, to trial online engagement, and to continue to reach a broad range of young people, particularly during the challenges of Covid-19 - read the case studies.
