We are delighted to be using our newly decorated Youth space - upstairs in our Angus office. The Kith&Kin group have been exploring and utilising all the new resources and are loving it! 😁

Huge thanks to:
-NCR Atleos for donating the sofa (which is highly complimented!), tables and chairs 🪑
-Members of the public who donated unused toys 🧸
-The young people, who have made eye-catching art for this new space 🎨
.. and finally, we couldn't have achieved this without funding received from Thorntons Colin Grant Trust, and we are so grateful!

We need you! ⚽🕷️📺

Are you able to spare just a couple of hours a week to mentor a young person?

We’re looking for a volunteer mentor for a young boy who would love nothing more than to have someone to:

- Hang out with
- Play football
- Explore new places
- And most of all — have fun!

Intandem mentors are invaluable to young people in kinship care, offering someone they can trust, talk to, and rely on each week.

This young person in particular is looking for someone who enjoys:

- Being active
- Football
- Spiderman
- TV quiz shows

No prior experience is necessary — full training and ongoing support will be provided.

👉 If this sounds like you, please get in touch with Shona for an informal chat and more information:

🍕 Following on from our recent Taco Night, the Boost Boys Group were keen to get back in the kitchen, this time for a DIY Pizza Night!

We had a huge range of toppings to choose from - some classic, some adventurous 👀 - and the young people had a great time preparing, cooking, and of course, tasting their own creations.

It was brilliant to see everyone trying out new foods, experimenting with different flavour combos, and enjoying the results together. A fun night full of teamwork, laughter, and (lots of) pizza! 🍕👏

🌮✨ Taco Night with BOOST! ✨🌮

The young people from our BOOST youth mentoring group had a fantastic evening recently, taking on the challenge of preparing, cooking, and enjoying a taco feast! 👨‍🍳👏

Not only did they learn new skills in the kitchen, but they also had the chance to try food from a different culture - and they smashed it! 💪🥗🌮

Great teamwork, big laughs, and (of course) some very tasty tacos. 🌍💛

✨ Volunteer Meet & Munch ✨

At the start of the month, our amazing Volunteer Mentors came together for a Meet & Munch event, hosted by Georgia and Shona. 🥪☕

The evening was all about celebrating our volunteers – giving them space to connect with each other, swap tips & tricks for their mentoring journeys, and most importantly, share plenty of food and laughs. 💬🍰💡

A big thank you to:

🙌 Jazmine from Dundee Volunteer and Voluntary Action for sharing all about the newly launched Volunteer Passport in Dundee.

🙌 Kate, one of TCA’s Senior Service Managers, for joining us to capture the voices of our volunteers as part of shaping TCA’s new 5-year business plan.

We are so grateful for the passion, energy, and commitment our volunteers bring to TCA. 💜
