Young refugees from our Guardianship Service recently went on a residential weekend to Glen Etive. They decided to leave their phones behind and immerse themselves in nature, creating lasting memories and friendships. Standing Tall Scotland @VentureScotland Scottish Refugee Council 🧡

We had an arts workshops at Group Night this month - we used images of animals to create our own creatures. What would you name these animals? 🐺🐶🐝🦭🦜🐿️🐋

We had a wonderful trip to Tramway, Glasgow to see the Citizens Theatre Young Company performance of PAL: Your AI Care Companion Seeing a young person we support performing on stage was an amazing experience. 😍 Well done everyone at the Citizens Theatre !

Day Trip! This week we went along to Glasgow Science Centre with a group of young people. 🔬 Young people we work with live all over Scotland, weekend day trips give young people living further away a chance to come an explore other parts of Scotland. Where should we go next? 👀

Another amazing weekend in Glen Etive with @VentureScotland We had an amazing time hiking, chatting around the fire pit, dipping our toes into the freezing loch and taking time to just relax in nature. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥾🏔️

Thank you Standing Tall Scotland and @VentureScotland for another great Glen Etvie adventure! Our young people enjoyed hiking, fireside chats, wild swimming, and exploring more of Scotland. #RefugeeFestivalScotland #RefugeeWeek Scottish Refugee Council 🧡

For this year's #refugeefestscot we celebrated Hope through different artforms. On Sunday we took over SWG3's Yardworks with a session of spray-painting, screen-printing and tie dye. Thanks to everyone who made this event happen, we will be back with our spray paint soon!

Our young people, supported by Guardianship Scotland, were asked to share their messages of hope to other unaccompanied asylum seeking and trafficked young people to mark #RefugeeWeek. #RefugeeFestivalScotland Scottish Refugee Council 🧡

Young people we work with hosted a stall at the amazing event Roots and Refuge at JustRight Scotland 🧡 With our overflowing Group Night arts supplies we helped young people design and make the poster that included images of what Guardianship represents to them! 🎨🌎

🚨 The Illegal Migration Bill became law today. We have written to the prime minister along with JCWI, JustRight Scotland 🧡 and Women for Refugee Women 🧡 to oppose this cruel legislation 🖊️ Sign our letter to say #NotInOurName scottishrefugeecouncil.org.uk/illegal-migrat…

What is summer without a Sports Day?! We did so many fun races - potato sack, three legged, potato & spoon and many more! It was a great day, might have to become an annual summer event 🤾🌞
