About the award
The Mark Scott Leadership for Life Award brings together over 150 S6 pupils from 60 schools across the central belt of Scotland. The participants are drawn from different social, economic, religious and cultural backgrounds, to work together to deliver projects to benefit their local communities.
Through the Award we help participants in their final year at school gain social confidence, communication and organisation skills, develop their resilience, and maintain their own mental wellbeing, as well as raise aspiration.
Participants also report increased connection to the outdoors and appreciation of a healthy lifestyle and increased connection to their community.
In recent evaluation we have shown an improvement in mental wellbeing in participants in the Award when compared to their peers outside the Award.
