A&M Scotland Information

A&M Scotland (SCIO) SC041463 is an award winning charity specialising in the delivery of diversionary group work and physical activities for young people aged 7- 25 within Glasgow and West-Central Scotland. Diversionary activities generally take the form of physical activity sessions, predominantly football and dance coaching, but also include issue based youth work and workshops. All activity sessions are open-access and completely free for every participant. The young people we work with are often at risk of becoming involved in anti-social and/ or criminal behaviour, substance abuse/ misuse and gang membership or violence. Our activities divert young people from negative situations which may impact on their lives and opportunities in the future. We aim to improve participants’ physical health and well being by increasing participation in physical activity and sport, and by educating them about the benefits of healthy diet and lifestyle. Our services also encourage participants to develop personal and social skills, self-efficacy, self-esteem, and personal responsibility.
