We also aim to work with children and families to provide emotional support within a therapeutic relationship in order to work through any barriers that maybe holding them back from attending school, further education or training or employment. This would support families with vocational destination improvement supporting prevention or relief of poverty. the purpose of the charity is to support young people to explore their developmental potential, gifts and talents in order to pursue a vocation that could support them physically, emotionally, socially and financially
4.2 the advancement of education,
The Holding Space will work alongside schools to work with children on their emotional well-being as well as any supports that are needed within the family home to ensure that children and young people are in the best position to meet the national curriculum for excellence. As identified in the national policy of "the promise" trauma informed work practice is the most beneficial way to work with children and young people in order to support them to fully engage in the education system. Research shows that working with children and young people within a therapeutic relationship best supports positive outcomes which is the underpinning of our charity. we aim to identify what barriers children and young people face in relation to school attendance and working with families and supports in relation to this.
4.3 the advancement of health,
The Holding Space will work with children, young people and families in a therapeutic way to support emotional well being and positive mental health. We also aim to combat social isolation by providing a service where young people can engage with their peer group, removing social isolation also has a positive impact on emotional wellbeing. The program also aims to provide physical health benefits with programs including yoga and Pilates allowing children and young people to engage in physical exercise. we are also including a program of cooking and learning about foods and exploring a healthy balanced diet as well as ensuring that children received a healthy meal while attending the service.
4.4 the advancement of citizenship or community development,
The children and young people that we aim to work with will be involved in the development of the services providing their contribution to the service will support community development. We want to provide a service where children and young people can spend time building relationships with the workers as well as their peer group which will provide positive outcomes for community development. The services outlined such as 8 week program will cover areas such as emotional and physical well being as well as learning skills such as cooking food, learning make up, holistic services such as meditation, mindfulness, crystal healing and reiki, these are skills that can be used throughout their lives and contribute to the their surrounding community and promote positive engagement. We have also found there is not a lot of activities for young people to do that does not cost money which can lead to disruptive behaviours in the community, this space within our Chairty will provide somewhere where young people can social interact in a positive way with theme nights, movie nights and a space where they can come and talk with someone when they may be struggling ensuring that they are not isolated. The therapeutic space is to promote connectedness for young people and explore their talents and gifts as an individual and develop these in a positive way.
4.5 the provision of recreational facilities, or the organisation of recreational activities, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended,
The development of the programs and activities within the program will be built with the input for the children, young people and families that we intend to work with in recognising what is needed to improve the lives of all families that we work with. the charity will provide activities that ensure that each child is having fun and enjoyment as well as working within a trusted relationship that will promote positive outcomes. there will be cooking classes, make up tutorial, Pilates, yoga, cinema nights, outings all of which we have consulted young people..

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.
If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions. |
