Woodmill High School Dunfermline support Samaritans of Dunfermline in the Youth and Philanthropy Initiative Scotland 2026
Lexie, Morgan and Dexter from Woodmill High School, Dunfermline
Three, 4th year students from Woodmill High School Dunfermline, Lexi, Morgan and Dexter, chose Samaritans of Dunfermline as their charity for their YPI Scheme (Youth and Philanthropy Initiative Scotland*). They had to research the charity and make a 15 minute presentation to over 200 3rd year students. They were voted through to the final of the competition by their classmates and came second in the overall final.
They didn’t win the £3000 prize but did a great job. The final was judged by a representative of the YPI Scheme Scotland and two other adults. In completing their research the students had to undertake a huge amount of research into mental health and the work we do at Samaritans of Dunfermline.
We wholeheartedly applaud the efforts of these young students in advertising the aims of Samaritans and highlighting our work to all of their peers and teachers. Very well done indeed.
