Yesterday we'd the pleasure of welcoming Graeme Armstrong, who gave a powerful talk to young people. Author of 'The Young Team', Graeme spoke of the power of #education as a driving force to a positive future, recalling his past life embroiled in Glasgow's gang culture. Headline

Graeme Armstrong Thanks Graeme, feedback from learners and staff alike has been overwhelmingly positive! A huge source of inspiration and motivation so thank you for your powerful words and honesty. Good luck with the last stages of your studies!

Huge thanks to WMCKilmarnockAcademy for having me for an S4 session today with learners, staff and campus police discussing themes around violence, gangs, substance abuse and the way out. Brilliant efforts all round from the young people!👏🏻 #ViolencePrevention #StreetBelonging

Thank you for coming along and delivering such a powerful session! Graeme Armstrong

The reaction from our kids at the end said it all - tears, handshakes and asking for advice. Thank you so much for taking the time to speak to them, your talk was so inspiring! 🫶🏻 (also - I’m clearly a cracking photographer)

Thanks to BBC Radio Scotland and Fiona Stalker for having me on Drivetime today to speak around youth violence and knives. Important messages from Niven Rennie NivenR_HopeCollective earlier about economic factors and youth spaces. Listen from 00:37 and 1:37 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Ms Monaghan Graeme Armstrong Govan High School I had the privilege of hearing Graeme Armstrong speak at the School Leaders Scotland conference in St Andrews a few years ago. Have since read The Young Team and watched the TV documentaries on ganglands which he presented. An inspirational young man with many lessons in his life story.

Our crowdfunded copies of Glasgow Boys for S3 and The Young Team for S5/6 have arrived - thank you so much to everyone who so kindly donated to our fundraiser with Big Green Bookshop! And thank you to The Portobello Bookshop for the cheeky discount on Graeme Armstrong’s books 🥳

Sound the pub day alarm! 📢 Been an absolute pleasure working with Rodge Glass on this gorgeous book, which you simply MUST read. Launch tonight is a sell out, but plenty more to come. Thanks to those who have supported it so far. Welcome to the world, Joshua in the Sky 🌈

Finished The Young Team by Graeme Armstrong - fantastic read and an excellent ending. Really want to see what happens next! Any recommendations of books in a similar vein?

Jenni Fagan’s memoir is a masterclass and deeply affecting testimony of looked after young people badly let down. It has been haunting me since I finished it… As many as 60% of Scotland’s prison population identify as having been in care by aged 16 (CYCJ, 2022) #Ootlin
