Landed
LANDED is a young persons’ charity based in Lanarkshire, Scotland.
We work with young people to promote harm reduction messages on topics such as; drugs, alcohol, cannabis, tobacco and sexual health. We do this by facilitating topic-based workshops to groups of young people and training courses to adult volunteers and staff members working with young people.
Young people play a significant role in our organisation; we regularly consult with current and past volunteers and partner organisations when developing or improving our services to keep them relevant, exciting and engaging. We focus on recruiting young people from various social backgrounds, including young people with lived experience of substance use, care experienced young people, and young people who are carers themselves.
What we do:
Harm Reduction Workshops
Our harm reduction workshops cover a wide range of topics and aim to address the consequences of risk-taking behaviours. We don’t condemn or condone; it’s a non-judgemental, research-based, informal, and participatory approach to health education in the community.
The topics we cover are:
Each workshop can be tailored to the individual needs of your classes, and is facilitated in a participatory way to ensure that all young people involved take something away from the session.

Training Courses
Our staff training is participatory and engaging. We aim to provide staff working with young people the tools and knowledge to talk to young people openly and confidently about their risk-taking behaviours.

Peer Educator Training
Are you looking to get your peer educator program off the ground? We’re experts in peer education and can assist you in this process.
Peer Education is an empowering process. It involves young people taking a lead role within their community. Whether that is a geographical community, school or youth group, it’s an approach to promote health and well-being information amongst peer groups, where young people take the lead.
In the past, we have worked alongside organisations across Lanarkshire and beyond to help develop peer education projects. We can deliver our Peer Educator Training to your volunteers or offer advice on establishing your project. In Lanarkshire schools we have worked with senior pupils over a few weeks to co-create Positive Smoke-Free Role Model projects, and other peer-led lessons such as online safety and sexual health & relationships.
