Youth Development: Placing Youth on the Path to Success

At Hedzup - Youth Development, we are strong believers in the ability of our youth to succeed. Our programs and activities are designed to help our youth reach their goals and fulfill their highest potential. We are proud of all our youths, and love watching them grow into bright-minded and confident individuals. See how we’re involved in making a difference in their lives.

We are delighted to team up with the SACU again this year and be able to deliver fun and informative sessions for the students.

Look out for more pictures over the coming weeks!

If you know of any schools that would be interested then please get in touch with adam.paterson@sacu.co.uk.

So what's happened at Hedzup Racing over the last few days, both the David Dick NC30s are pretty much ready for the Bob Mac race meet next weekend, as is the Hedzup CBR400, as long as I get my licence ( I forgot) then Hedzup will have 3 riders out at it, a bit of plumbing done at the centre where we rerouted the toilet vent to outside. A visit to tentsmuir with a great school group, and an interesting visit to a sheep shearing class, bloomin eck that looks like hard work! And a bit of golf as well, certainly varied the things we get up to! A big thanks to all the ladies and gents of the Hedzup groups for their efforts! Great youths all of them!

The Hedzup crew are out on a navigation exercise today. Growing news skills and gaining confidence! #youthdevelopment @brechinhighschool @ianpert

Our last Friday night of 2022 and the lads are hard at work in the workshop rebuilding the KTM.

Thanks to the guys at @56nairborne for coming in and giving out youths the knowledge and skills they need to fly their drones better and safer.

We had the guys from @56nairborne in giving our youths some drone flying knowledge and skills to help them fly better and safer.

Time to get to lads to work at the #Hedzup workshop.

It’s another East Fortune weekend for the Hedzup crew.

It was great to be "allowed" back to @TaysideMRT today. The youths were given a tour of the base and a presentation about the team and a go on the climbing wall. It was great to see it in safe hands again and thriving! #YouthDevelopment

ABOUT US

Born on the side of a mountain

No really, the Hedzup concept was born on the side of a mountain!

From an idea to provide youths the opportunity to experience the outdoors and broaden their horizons, Hedzup has grown into a centre of excellence for youth development.

The initial concept was developed by Ian Pert (ex-mountain rescue) and Ewan Stewart (Ex-Police Scotland) whilst awaiting a helicopter during a mountain rescue callout.

It is an idea that has grown into the current Hedzup providing youth support and development, outdoor pursuits and opportunities for underprivileged youths to develop for a brighter future.
