At the loft we’ve been working with MCR Pathways for a number of years now.
For those that aren’t in the know, MCR Pathways are an incredible charity that exists to ensure that ‘every disadvantaged young person in Scotland, gets the same education outcomes, career opportunities and life chances as other young people.’
They mainly do this by providing supportive mentors who meet the young person for one hour each week at their local high schools.
In the past, the loft has provided creative support and work-experience opportunities to the charity. However, amazing designers Reiss McLeod and Laura Campbell have taken this not one but several steps further. They’ve passed their exams, did their training and are now fully-fledged mentors. Pictured here in their favourite haunt (Paesano Pizza,) they will both commit one hour a week to help their mentees create a better life for themselves. An absolutely wonderful commitment!
They meet their mentees in a few weeks time and are incredibly excited to help a young person as well as make a contribution.
‘Designers-With-Soul’
We salute you both…
