Fundraising for MYPAS
Be a local hero by support vulnerable young people in your area.
Problems with alcohol and drugs, the death of a loved one, anxiety about ‘coming out’, depression and self harm are just some of the issues that young people in East Lothian and Midlothian open up to us about.
Through counselling, one-to-one support and sessions in local schools, we help them deal with, and overcome, their problems.
Your donations help us to do this.
Why support us?
We are the only service that specifically provides drug & alcohol support for young people in East Lothian and Midlothian.
Our LGBT Youth Project gives young people from Midlothian and East Lothian a safe place to find support.
We are the only service that provides Counselling, Art Therapy, Family Therapy and group support the young people of Midlothian.
