The Auchindrain Trust
Young People
We want to buy tools, equipment and materials to support our young people in developing life and work experience.
About this cause
We exist to preserve, and to operate as a museum, the internationally-important historic site of Auchindrain. As a museum, the site provides education and enjoyment for people from all over the world. We help to bring tourists to the area , and to ensure they have a good time in Mid Argyll. Our Runrig Project, established in 2011, provides work experience and life development opportunities for young people, including those with learning disabilities.
How this cause brings people in the community together
The project engages young people, often with disabilities or disadvantages, in activity in an environment that is collaborative, often cross-generational, sometimes international and multicultural, and always focused on understanding and respecting people. The project facilitates the involvement of strategic and statutory bodies by providing them with opportunities for joint working.
