HOW TO GET INVOLVED:

Mobex East Lothian is primarily a referral based project. That is to say, organisations and agencies can refer individuals or groups of young people to us. At the moment, young people cannot self-refer.

 

COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS:

 

• “I learned new skills”
• “Helped me realise my strengths and weaknesses”
• “I would be really pleased if I could be involved again”
• “I think all of us have learned new and different things”
• “I can do anything when I put my mind to it”
• “It’s made me eager to do something like it more often” 

 

 

All courses are tailored, developed and flexible enough to meet the needs, level of experience and aims of the participants.

The Mobex team uses a converted bus, which allows it to travel to groups and to deliver projects in the most appropriate settings.
