Planet Youth in Scotland

Planet Youth is a beacon of hope, a blueprint for positive transformation. Now, imagine sculpting that model to fit the tapestry of Scotland, tailoring it to the context of our country to embolden happier and healthier young people.

​

Embarking on this journey isn't just about numbers; it's about weaving a narrative of resilience, well-being, and vibrant communities. Change takes time, effort, and a commitment that spans generations, an investment in the future well-being of our people.

​

In a bold move, the Scottish Government committed to a £1.5 million investment in Planet Youth in 2023. This isn't just funding; it's a testament to our collective dedication to a better tomorrow. Partnerships bloom, communities flourish, and positive changes become a reality.

​

The graph below shows the similarities between Scotland and Iceland (who pioneered Planet Youth). In 2021, Scotland was in a similar position to where Iceland was 20 years ago when it came to substance use amongst young people. Adapting the model used in Iceland within the Scottish context is a key factor to its potential success, and giving power and support to the communities committed to Planet Youth.
