The importance of the Third Sector | Robert McHarg | TEDxBlythswoodSquare

Robert explores the value of the Third Sector in Scotland in times where public bodies seem to not tackle the right problems on the right time Robert is 51 years old and has a background in youth work, residential care & policy making and his experience of working with young people in a variety of settings goes back over 30 years. Prior to co-founding A&M Scotland, Robert worked in Policy Development and Senior Management positions, both within Local Government and the Private Sector. Robert has been involved in the design and delivery of countless personal development programmes within a range of settings including community, residential care and YOI's. Robert has in the past been a board member of LGBT Youth Scotland, the Princes Trust Scotland, the Anti-Social Behaviour Youth Steering Group in Glasgow and has previously advised the Scottish Government on their development of a national strategy for young people. Since co-founding A&M Scotland in 2009 Robert is proud to have seen the extensive development of the charity in relation to the growth in team numbers, the programmes developed and offered and the impact on individuals and communities of the work delivered. A key element of this and the area that makes Robert most proud is the developmental opportunities created at local, national and international level for many young people from deprived communities. These opportunities have seen many take up further and higher education opportunities, gain training and employment and volunteer within their local communities to ensure that there is a clear legacy from the work of the charity. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
