COOL is a Christian youth-work project in the West Highlands of Scotland that aims to encourage and support all children and young people, primarily helping to meet emotional, social, and spiritual needs. Our goal is to see young people become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens, and effective contributors through mentoring, providing safe spaces, giving opportunities and encouragement to explore the Christian faith, discovering more about God and the Bible and responding to the significance of Jesus Christ. Our main work in schools includes Religious Observance assemblies, drop-in clubs, Religious & Moral Education and pastoral support as well as supporting specific projects as required. We also work alongside community youth clubs and church groups to encourage, train, and support local parishes. This includes residential youth weekends, Holiday Bible Clubs in the summer and other residential trips to youth events.

Beneficiaries: 'Children or young people'

Objectives: The work of the Charity focuses on the young people of Lochalsh, South Skye, Applecross and Glenelg. Its purpose is to benefit these young people through supporting and facilitating existing Christian youth work, and through providing additional social, recreational and spiritual opportunities for them.
