Aims and objectives

COVEY aims to improve the lives of vulnerable young people in South Lanarkshire.

Our key objectives are to:

  • offer young people the opportunity to engage in a trusting, supportive relationship with a reliable, consistent adult
  • allow young people to be enabled to make positive choices and be supported in pursuing them
  • enable young people to do things that they would not normally do on their own
  • encourage young people to engage in positive use of their leisure time
  • provide a young person with a positive role model.
The expected outcomes for the young people would include:

  • growth of self-esteem
  • developing confidence
  • developing interests and new skills
  • improved family and social relationships
  • reduced isolation in the community
  • improved quality of life.
