Biggar Youth Project

What We Do

BYP provides activities and services for young people aged 11 to 18 years who live in the catchment area of Biggar High School - a vast rural area in excess of 300 square miles, ranging from Leadhills to Tarbrax!
Established in 1995 we are now based in our new (and permanent) home in the Old Auction Ring at the top of the Clydesdale Close, just off the High Street.
Our activities during term time include evening sessions, trips, extended hours during Study Leave as well as acting as an additional Common Room for many of the 6th years at Biggar High.
Biggar Bytes - our lunchtime drop in cafe for High School pupils - is as popular as ever with a range of healthy eating and drinks choices at reasonable prices all available in a safe and welcoming environment and served by friendly staff. The free fruit and salad at these sessions are always popular too!

News

Great News!!

Brilliant news to start the New Year. We have been successful with an application for funding to the CashBack for Communities Fund. This will enable us to open longer during the day and to go back to opening on a Friday. New hours will start from 23 January - 10 to 3, Monday to Thursday and 10 to 1 on a Friday. Grateful thanks to the CashBack for Communties Fund for their donation.


   

S5/S6 Study Leave - January 2012

As in previous years we will extend our opening hours to provide a Study Area/Social base for S5/6 pupils during Study Leave. Healthy snacks and drinks are available all day along with broadband access to the internet, study area and other activities. 

Details of opening hours are on our website, on our front door, and posted next to the Office at the High School. For more details, ring us on 07840811508 or visit our fb page - BypBiggar.
