'Working for and with young people'

 ‘The Roses Project’ was established in 1990 by Hebridean Pursuits ltd. Since then we have delivered residential multi activity courses to over 8000 young people from all over the UK. We continue to be one of the most highly respected residential programme's for young people in the UK. Through highly effective integrated partnership with our clients the programme grows from strength to strength.

Our Imaginative and creative programme's tackle issues of social exclusion, Issues of integration, deprivation and education.

The young people who have benefited and participated are from a variety of socio- economic and cultural backgrounds. These programme's are offered to school, youth work, detached and voluntary groups and of course private family trips.

Based mainly on the Island of Mull at out outdoor centre Tavool House these courses are designed around your groups needs. Courses are normally six days long. You stay in the centre as a group, with no other groups or courses to distract you in such a peaceful setting.

 The course content is based around real outdoor adventures using a variety of AALA licensed adventure activities. With good and plentiful home cooking, a warm comfortable centre feel and friendly residential instructional staff it all adds up to great value and a winning combination with quantifiable results.

The whole residential was designed to build on the specific work we are doing with the young people and the Roses staff take a young person centred approach in all their work.

"The staff have a deep conviction that change is possible and that the outdoor activities can be used as a tool to engage Young People, however difficult or confrontational. They induce change by a process that is empowering but very challenging".
