Calman Trust Ltd works with around 200 young people per year in the Highland region. It provides support to young people at risk of becoming, or who are, homeless in the Easter Ross, Inverness and further afield. Plans are in place to double the Trust’s capacity and to develop social enterprises with a partner organisation within five years.

14:19 Fund investment will deliver a programme of individual support for young people referred by their school. A Transition Co-ordinator will work with them through one-to-one and group work. With support, the young people will indentify goals and aspirations and work on basic social skills including time keeping, personal hygiene and team working. Liaising with employers, training facilitators and colleges, the Calman Trust will then develop a training programme to meet individual needs. Each young person will be supported until their agreed outcome is achieved.
