YPI

The Youth and Philanthropy Initiative (YPI) is the biggest independent programme being delivered through Scottish education, empowering tens of thousands of young people each year to make a difference in their communities. Through teamwork, research, and competition, young people advocate for social issues in their communities in a bid to secure their school’s £3,000 grant.  The Nicolson have been involved with YPI for 10 years and gave seen local charities benefit from £30,000 of grant money in that time.  It encourages young people to offer their time and talents to local charities and is a positive experience for the learner, for the school and for the community.
