Itβs been a fantastic start to the year at Vibe! Our recent Burns Supper celebration was a real highlight, with young people coming together to prepare a traditional Scottish feast – haggis, neeps and tatties, of course! Some even recited Scottish poems, including the Ode to the Haggis, while everyone joined in a fun quiz all about Rabbie Burns.
Sessions like these are a wonderful way to support wellbeing. They bring everyone together, spark new experiences and offer a hands-on opportunity to learn, connect and build confidence in a relaxed, supportive environment.
And the celebrations didnβt stop there! The young people enjoyed traditional Scottish treats – from teacakes and caramel logs to snowballs and Irn-Bru. Everyone enjoyed the food, activities and the chance to celebrate Scottish culture together.
Music has an amazing way of bringing people together, sparking ideas and building confidence β and last week the young people at Vibe got to experience that first-hand when @livemusicnowscotland came to visit us. The musicians shared their music with the group, which led to lots of curiosity, great questions and lively conversations. πΌ
Sessions like these are so valuable as they give young people the chance to experience something new, express themselves and build confidence in a relaxed and supportive environment.π₯°
Weβre especially excited that Live Music Now Scotland will be returning over the next six weeks, giving the young people opportunities to learn about different instruments and even have a go themselves. We canβt wait to see the creativity and fun that unfolds! π
The spotlight was on during our Sensational Learning Centre Open Mic event! π€
It was a brilliant chance for pupils to showcase their talents, from songs and jokes to musical performances, while cheering each other on.
Everyone got involved in different ways – performing, supporting from the audience or even helping with refreshments. The event focused on having fun, building confidence and learning to perform in front of others. While it linked to the pupilsβ National 3 Music course, it also helped them practice key skills like creativity, teamwork and communication. π¬
Overall, it was a fantastic celebration of talent among the pupils! π₯³

Tomorrow marks International Day of Education. π
Weβre celebrating the difference it can make when every learner is supported in the right way.
At our Sensational Learning Centre (SLC), we support neurodivergent children and young people who face challenges in traditional mainstream education settings. Our focus is on creating a learning environment where learners feel understood, supported and confident in themselves.
Weβre incredibly proud of our pupils who are currently working towards their National 3 and 4 qualifications. With patience, encouragement and our personalised approach to learning, our pupils continue to grow in confidence and resilience.
International Day of Education is a reminder that, with the right support, every child can succeed in their own way and grow into a confident, capable learner. π³

Meaningful experiences can open up new ways of learning β and last week, our Vibe service got off to an exciting start with a visit from @dynamic_earth! π
Young people took part in hands-on experiments and activities, diving into topics like space, the rainforest, the ocean and dinosaurs β and theyβre looking forward to exploring these over the coming weeks. It was a fun, engaging way to spark curiosity, build confidence and try something new. π‘
A huge thank you to the Dynamic Earth team for making this first session so memorable β and we canβt wait for their visits over the next few months!

Building Independence Through Practical Life Skills at Gate π½οΈ
At Gate, cooking isnβt just about making delicious food. Itβs a structured, hands-on way for the young adults we support to develop essential life skills, boost confidence and take meaningful steps toward independence.
Recently, the group have been getting creative in the kitchen, making everything from ginger biscuits and steak pie to coleslaw and fried chicken. Each session gives them the chance to follow recipes, measure ingredients, work safely with kitchen equipment and take pride in what they create. π₯³
By learning practical skills in a real-life setting, the young adults are building confidence, making choices for themselves and developing the independence they need for everyday life and their future. β
