Why Cranstoun helps
It’s vital that young people receive the support they need. At Cranstoun, we understand this, and we are eager to give young people the power to improve their lives and enable them to reach their full potential.
It’s important to acknowledge that the issues that affect young people differ greatly from those that affect adults. Each young person has their own perspective, their own opinions and their own life experience that has shaped them. They need the space to feel safe, understood and supported. At Cranstoun, we avoid a ‘one size fits all’ approach, and instead work alongside each person to achieve their unique goals. Our staff and volunteers share a mission to ensure every young person is empowered, inspired and encouraged when they engage with one of our services and that’s the golden thread that weaves throughout our work.
