A group of students from Mintlaw Academy chose Gordon RDA as their chosen charity for their Youth Philanthropy Initiative project*

After a very hard fought final, our group were selected as winners and were able to present us with £3,000.  2 members of the team Isla and Caitlin Smart also attended our Annual Ball to present their presentation to approx. 90 guests.

*The Youth and Philanthropy Initiative (YPI) is the biggest independent programme being delivered through Scottish education, empowering tens of thousands of young people each year to make a difference in their communities. Through teamwork, research, and competition, young people advocate for social issues in their communities in a bid to secure their school’s £3,000 grant
