More Scottish youth reached

Scripture Union (SU) Scotland have revealed that they connected with about 5% of Scotland’s young people in the year to August 2024 and have seen their reach return to pre-pandemic levels.

The organisation’s 2023/24 annual review revealed that their engagement with more than 35,100 of Scotland’s 702,000 young people ensured that they met a long-term goal set in 2019 to reach 5% of the country’s population, after only reaching about 2% that year.

While some of their output remains below the threshold, 2023/24 appears to be the first year which has seen SU’s activity largely return to pre-pandemic levels in Scotland.
