As part of their summer schedule of activities, our Midlothian & East Lothian Recovery Service enjoyed a trip to Craigmillar Castle. The final image is of a tiny duck – these are hidden around the castle. If you find one, you can keep it. If you find more, you re-hide them 🦆.

This week our young peoples' Employability Group (w/ @skillsdevscot) were practicing interview skills – from the importance of positive body language & professional communication, to how to select the right outfit. @edinguarantee @Edinburgh_CC @scotgov

Our Genealogy group enjoyed a trip to @NatRecordsScot – thanks so much to the staff for the guided tour, informative talk on records, and the chance for the students to research their own Scottish families 🤗.

Continuing their summer Employability Group (in collab w/ @skillsdevscot), our Moving Forward young people honed their drone skills, challenging themselves to follow complex instructions and figure out the controls on the iPad 🤓. @JoinedUpforJobs @edinguarantee
