January 2026
Back in September, our S3 learners officially began their Youth and Philanthropy Initiative (YPI) journey. Since then, they have been working hard in groups to choose a charity, research the work it does, and explore how a £3,000 donation could make a meaningful difference.
Throughout last term, each group presented their charity case to their class, aiming to secure a place in the YPI Final. These presentations showcased strong teamwork, research skills and a real commitment to social responsibility.
We are now looking ahead to the YPI Final, which will take place on Thursday 12th March, and are delighted to announce that our 2026 YPI Finalists are:
Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity
