On Saturday, Mercedes Green from our funding partner, Foundation Scotland, attended Youth Scotland’s ‘Big Ideas’ conference at Stirling University. This is the biggest youth conference in Scotland with over 200 young people and youth workers in attendance.

Mercedes gave a lecture on the power of youth funding at Foundation Scotland and showcased The Essentia Foundation as an example of best practice. It was also a chance to talk about the next round of funding that will open in October and answer any questions from interested organisations.

“I had a lot of lovely conversations and there was some great interest for The Essentia Foundation.”

Well done Mercedes – The Essentia Foundation Trustees.
