Every year, pupils in S3 participate in the Youth and Philanthropy Initiative (YPI). 2020 could be no different and this year more than ever, pupils saw the importance of helping out their local community. YPI involves students working in teams to choose a social issue that is personal to them. They pick and interview a related Midlothian charity, then create a pitch to try to win that charity £3000. After many months of hard work, judges decided that this year’s winning charity was Re-Act, who were represented by created by Paige Lorimer, Anna McDonald, Alix Rumbellow and Amy Stocks. Re-Act focuses on the delivery of emergency aid to refugees in camps and assists with the resettlement and integration of refugees in Scotland. A huge well done to all pupils who participated!
