AYF formed in 2008 with the aim of providing youth work services for the Isle of Arran. It now has two employees and ten volunteers. AYFs objectives are: -To provide a safe, warm environment in which young people can meet -To develop educational, physical and social skills and foundations of friendship through a variety of activities and events -To build the capacity of young people by involving them in management and decision making. We run at least 15 weekly clubs from a fantastic youth centre (our safe, warm environment), based at the back of Arran High School, that has been entirely decorated and refurbished by young people, for young people. As with everything AYF does, all of these activities are provided free of charge. Through these clubs we achieve our second objective: The youth cabins are open on every day for lunchtime drop-in, giving young people a space to socialise and play with friends. On Mondays, we run a unique cooking project teaching culinary skills. The
