25 Stories for 25 Years

On 3rd June 2000, our Purpose-Built Community and International Leadership Centre in Staffin on the Isle of Skye was opened by HRH The Princess Royal. Since then, we’ve walked alongside thousands of young people from tough realities – and the key adults in their lives – helping them unlock their potential and lead lives of purpose, meaning, and contribution.

.At the heart of our work is a powerful vision: that every young person and the adults around them realise their full potential and share a common experience and understanding of values-based leadership. Because when that happens, real, lasting change becomes possible – not just in individual lives, but in families, schools, services, and whole communities.

To mark this milestone, we’re launching 25 Stories for 25 Years – a series of powerful stories that reflect the heart of our work and the courage and resilience of the people we walk beside. A new story will be shared every two weeks throughout our 25th anniversary year.
