About

Right There are a charity in Scotland working to prevent people becoming homeless and separated from their loved ones.

We’re here for children and adults who are living with the effects of poverty, addiction or broken relationships. Walking alongside people at home and in the community, we provide tailored support and form trusting relationships to help people feel happier, safer and more confident to live their lives.

Rooted in communities across Scotland  for almost 200 years, we’re there for people going through tough times. Our work won’t stop until everyone has an equal chance to create a safe and supportive place to call home.

We were previously called Ypeople – we hope you like our new name!

Locations

Right There operates 21 services across Glasgow, South Lanarkshire, Falkirk, Edinburgh and the Orkney Islands.

Our intandem mentoring service provides support to children and young people in Glasgow and North Lanarkshire. Training is usually held in our Head offices in Govan however our volunteers will meet with young people in their communities across the North East of Glasgow and North Lanarkshire.

Aims

What we do:

Mentoring

For 8-14-year olds living in the care of a local authority; perhaps in residential, foster or kinship care. We know every young person living in care will respond differently, so building trusting relationships is the first crucial step for our dedicated volunteers. They do everything they can to make sure each young person feels cared for, and they help them work towards their goals.

Supporting the Whole Family

Spending quality time together with family is a key to creating solid relationships and a sense of belonging and security.

All around us are families who are struggling for various reasons: living with the effects of poverty, stress of unemployment or struggling to pay bills. All these types of pressures can have an impact on family life.

Working alongside families, we provide specialised support focusing on every family member’s strengths, improving communication and forming better relationships. We hope to see family bonds become stronger – helping them take on and enjoy life together.

Counselling

Our counselling is for young people up to the age of 25. Talking to a professional can make a huge difference to helping  manage loneliness or anxiety, and to deal with issues such as substance use. This support is offered face-to-face, online or via phone; whichever way feels most comfortable to the young person.

One-to-One Coaching

This is for anyone over the age of 16 going through tough times and often huge life changes. These could include coming out of prison, leaving care, or searching for a place to live after being homeless. Our Your Home coaches are a shoulder to lean on and cover everything from learning how to budget, to helping people take up new sports.
