Mentoring

Funded by BBC Children in Need, our Mentoring Project works by supporting young people on a 1-1 basis on any issues or needs they require support for.

​We offer a range of exciting opportunities for young people to get involved in at all times throughout the year.

Schools Work

Working in partnership with Galashiels Academy, we are providing a youth work approach in school.

This involves 1-1 work as well as small groupwork to improve the school experience of  young people who are finding it most challenging

Early Steps

Our Early Steps Project, supports young parents 16 to 26 year old.

The project seeks to improve the skills, knowledge and support networks around young parents so they feel better supported.

Stepping Stones

Stepping Stones is a partnership youth work project that supports young people aged 10-18
in the Scottish Borders, with the aim of improving their emotional health and wellbeing, and
life chances.  
Our worker supports each young person based on
their personal needs, helping them to achieve their full potential and to develop skills through
non-formal education activities within a universal youth work setting.

Youth Participation 

Our participation work allows young people to work towards accreditation or awards such as Youth Achievement Awards, Dynamic Youth Awards, Hi-5 Awards alongside recognising Volunteering through the Saltire Award. They can do this through participation in activities offered by TD1 or through what they do outwith. 
We support young people to develop soft skills and team working skills through their engagement in small groups, which help them for their future. 

Streetwork

We work with young people on the street through our streetwork project, twice a week youth workers will engage with young people in the community on the street and support their needs through information, advice and support. 
We use our own mini-bus to travel around the town and offer young people different options from being on the street. 

Tuesday Group

Our weekly Tuesday group meets with young people who have been or are in care, young carers or neuro-diverse. 
It is a safe space for these young people to socialise, take part in activities and get support for any issues they may be having in their lives.
