💛 Volunteers’ Week: Angus’ story

Angus is a busy dad, a civil engineer, and someone who’s always made time to give back. When his daughters started becoming more independent, he decided to use his spare time to support a young person as a mentor with Intandem and Ymca Kirkcaldy.

Since then, his mentoring journey has been filled with simple but meaningful moments — kickabouts, outdoor activities, and chats over burgers where young people feel comfortable enough to open up.

He says mentoring is about showing up, listening, and helping young people feel like they matter.

And the best part? He’s enjoyed it even more than he expected — often looking forward to each catch-up just as much as the young person does.

👏 As Volunteers’ Week comes to an end, we’re celebrating people like Angus who are making a real difference in their communities.

This Volunteers’ Week, we’re shining a light on the joy of mentoring 💫

“I genuinely look forward to our time together – she keeps me on my toes with current trends! She always seems to really look forward to our outings and enjoys herself.”

These are the words of a volunteer mentor in Aberdeen, sharing the joy and impact of mentoring.

Mentoring isn’t just life-changing for young people — it’s incredibly rewarding for volunteers too.

💛 Thank you to all our mentors for the time, care, and commitment you give.
