Since its founding in 2013, Go! Youth Trust (GYT) has been at the heart of empowering young people aged 10 to 25 across Falkirk and Central Scotland.

With a passionate team of 14 staff and more than 70 dedicated volunteers, GYT delivers life-changing support to young people facing significant barriers to opportunity. The charity has become a catalyst for change in a region where 15% of residents live in areas identified as having high potential for economic growth and social transformation.

In 2023 alone, GYT supported over 700 young people, helping them build confidence, skills, and hope for the future. At the core of their mission is a simple but powerful belief: every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive.

Through investment from Social Investment Scotland, GYT was able to purchase and develop a dedicated youth facility — expanding its reach and creating a sustainable base for future impact.

This investment has enabled more space for youth programmes, allowing GYT to grow its services and reach more young people than ever before.

Key outcomes include:

  • Expanded facilities for youth development programmes and activities
  • Stronger partnerships with health and education services
  • New income-generating opportunities and reduced venue hire costs, improving financial sustainability

With the support of SIS, Go! Youth Trust now has the space and stability it needs to continue empowering young people and helping them build brighter futures and stronger communities.

"Thanks to SIS, we now have a permanent home where young people can feel safe, seen, and supported."
