YWCA Scotland

We deliver a range of services for girls and women through our local centres in Livingston, Kirkcaldy, Coupar Angus, Moray, and Roundabout Edinburgh. The Volunteering Project is based in our Central Office in Edinburgh. We provide girls' and women's groups, educational, personal and leadership development and a range of opportunities to develop ski... lls and experience in the arts, events organisation and campaigning. We work in partnership with a range of organisations in the public, private and voluntary sector to deliver our services to mainly marginalised communities. Nationally, the YWCA Scotland is working to establish itself as a key contributor to policy debate and to provide a platform for young women to have their voices heard. We take a leading position on the issues affecting young women in Scotland today ensuring that the services we provide are responsive to genuine need. Young women are supported to participate at all levels of our decision-making process including serving on local advisory committees at Board level and representing YWCA of G.B. at European Representatives meetings. Externally, young women have the opportunity to represent YWCA Scotland on Scottish Youth Parliament and U.K. Youth Parliament and the European Women's Lobby.Read More
