YPI

Baltasound and Mid Yell JHS YPI Finals.

Last week Baltasound hosted this year’s North Isles Youth Philanthropy Initiative (YPI) finals, sponsored by the Wood Foundation and Arven.

The groups of S3 pupils each presented on a local social issue and charities which support them – a great way for the pupils to develop skills in research, teamwork, communication, organisation and confidence.

Congratulations to the winning team who represented Dogs Against Drugs, a worthy charity who will make good use of the £3000 prize fund.

Special thanks to the judges from Cooke Scotland, SaxaVord Spaceport and pupil and parent council members from each school.
