Create Your Dream SCIO was set up to support young people aged 15–25 in the West of Scotland who were struggling to identify their future direction, particularly those facing barriers such as mental health challenges, neurodiversity, disability, or financial hardship. We did this by providing person-centred planning and one-to-one life coaching to help young people understand their strengths, needs, and goals, and take practical steps toward a meaningful future. We also worked holistically with partner agencies to offer access to fitness, vocational opportunities, community involvement, and financial wellbeing support, delivering services flexibly within local communities and involving families where helpful.

Beneficiaries: 'Children or young people','Other defined groups'

Objectives: Charitable Purposes (a) The advancement of education. (b) In furtherance of this objective we will provide Person Centred Planning and Life Coaching to young people living in the West of Scotland, aged between the ages of 16 to 25 years old, (plus those who are 15 and are in S4 of secondary education), who are at transitional stages and who are struggling to identify an occupation or purpose to aim towards going into their adult life. We want to provide these young people with tailored activity that will empower them to take responsibility for their own life paths and be able to plan for their future through using the techniques they are shown which they can then independently use throughout their life. (c) The advancement of citizenship or community development. (d) In furtherance of this objective through Person Centred Planning and Life Coaching we aim to broaden individuals' life choices, connections and life experiences. build on individuals' confidence and self-awareness. promote positive mental health and positive engagements. instil an ethos of community purpose. enable young people to become a more productive member of their own community and beyond. to empower individuals to conscientiously take responsibility for their own life paths and outcomes. We will also work collaboratively with partner agencies in local areas that deliver different development opportunities such as health & fitness support, vocational qualifications, financial awareness etc., making and taking referrals as appropriate, so the young people supported receive a well-rounded holistic service to improve areas of their lives where they want to change, develop and grow - allowing them to become more rounded, proactive and conscientious citizens. (e) The relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage. (f) In furtherance of this objective we will ensure our service is targeted at young people at transitional stages in their lives between the ages of 16 and 25, (plus those who are 15 and are in S4 of secondary education), who are struggling to identify an occupation or purpose to aim towards going into their adult life. This includes young people with an impairment or disability as defined in the Equality Act 2010 such as mental health issues including anxiety and stress. neurodiversity, learning difficulties e.g. dyslexia and ADHD, and learning and physical disabilities. Also, those with certain life experiences who are significantly more likely to struggle through environment and circumstance to improve their life choices and appropriate progression routes including young people with multiple barriers to progression which can have a cumulative impact on their journey to reach their goals and dreams. We aim however to support all young people who would clearly benefit from Person-centred Planning or Life Coaching to enable them to clarify a clear and suitable plan for their future regardless of fitting into any particular criteria.
