Spotlight on Abbie
Abbie is one of our young volunteers . She began her journey with KYTHE when she agreed to run a group as part of her Equip training with Scripture Union Scotland . The more Abbie engaged in KYTHE activities the more she knew she had to get more and more ! Abbie has contributed the most volunteer hours , certainly as a young volunteer , but her hours far succeed some of the long-serving adult volunteers who have given time to KYTHE . Abbie competently organised our weekly Chill n Chat group and has undertaken ownership of the Outdoor Games that have been so popular throughout the last 2 years at KYTHE . She has undertaken a Platinum Youth Achievement Award , with Youth Scotland to evidence this work . Abbie has realised , through her young volunteering with KYTHE that Youth Work is the career for her ! We ' re so excited to see what her next chapter will bring , but we ' re so grateful for her hard work and dedication to making sure KYTHE is , and always will be a place of safety and fun for all the young people who enter our hub .
STAFF FEEDBACK
" Mobile KYTHE on tour on the whole was a tremendous success particularly in Abernethy , Bridge of Earn and Powmill . Continuous improvement is key to continue an excellent service delivery "
" The connections we made with the young people , seeing people thriving in our work , the engagement we got with the more specialist events like Band Camp , Art Workshop , Bike Workshop . Even the difficult bits of the summer were good to learn from , as frustrating as some of them might have been ."
