Have a read of the terms & conditions here then let the best blogger win! Email of the month Hi There, I first heard of Project Scotland when I was on the Prince’s Trust Team Programme in Clydebank. I had always been interested in working in the outdoors and after I took part in a Teambuilding residential I enquired about working in an outdoor centre. So I contacted Project Scotland and they helped me to set up my placement at the Lochgoilhead Scout and Outdoor Centre where I have been a Trainee instructor. I have been there since November 08 and during my time there I have learned loads of new skills and have been working towards my instructor qualifications. The placement has given me more confidence to succeed and my outlook on life is a lot more positive. I have made lots of new friends and I have been places and did things I never thought possible. I would like to thank Project Scotland for supporting me and giving me the chance to better myself. Regards, Pamela Ralston Thanks for that Pamela! If you'd rather not receive the VoluntEar, please email us at voluntear@projectscotland.co.uk After we shake our heads, muttering "Good grief, why whould anyone not want to receive the VoluntEar?", we'll take you off our mailing list. ProjectScotland is a Scottish registered charity (SC035464) and is a company limited by guarantee (SC267476) with its registered office at 20 Hopetoun Street, Edinburgh, EH7 4GH.

Hi There,
I first heard of Project Scotland when I was on the Prince’s Trust Team Programme in Clydebank. I had always been interested in working in the outdoors and after I took part in a Teambuilding residential I enquired about working in an outdoor centre.
So I contacted Project Scotland and they helped me to set up my placement at the Lochgoilhead Scout and Outdoor Centre where I have been a Trainee instructor. I have been there since November 08 and during my time there I have learned loads of new skills and have been working towards my instructor qualifications. The placement has given me more confidence to succeed and my outlook on life is a lot more positive. I have made lots of new friends and I have been places and did things I never thought possible.
I would like to thank Project Scotland for supporting me and giving me the chance to better myself.
