GoFibre is helping young people thrive with the launch of a new youth-focused initiative in east Lothian, contributing £2,000 in sponsorship to its community organisation partner, theSpace Scotland CIC.
The partnership will establish theSpace Youth Work Resources Fund, a new scheme designed to give young people the tools, opportunities and encouragement they need to reach their potential.
As part of the sponsorship, GoFibre will contribute £2,000 to the charity up to July 2026 to support the organisation’s newly appointed youth worker, Craig Reid, to have the resources on hand to bring theSpace youth work programme to life.
The funding boost will also fund essential resources such as learning materials, safety equipment and expert-led sessions.
theSpace has been active in east Lothian's youth scene for nearly two decades, upgrading local skateparks, creating indoor youth led community spaces, hosting live music events and skills and hospitality training.
The new youth worker will expand this legacy with activity groups for 13- to 16-year-olds, including cycling clubs and the return of the John Muir Awards - helping young people build skills, confidence and connections.
The project is being delivered in partnership with east Lothian Council, Dunbar Community Council and the Dunbar and east Linton Area Partnership, ensuring a strong network of backing for young people across the area.
Neil Conaghan, Chief Executive at GoFibre said: “GoFibre is about more than cables and connections - it’s about helping communities excel where we build.
“Young people in Dunbar are bursting with energy and ideas, and initiatives like this give them a chance to channel that into skills and opportunities that last a lifetime.”
