Peer Inspiration Projects Scotland (PIPS)

Fast Forward is Scotland’s national youth work organisation specialising in risk-taking behaviours, harm reduction, and early intervention. Our mission is to promote health and wellbeing through education by, with, and for young people.

PIPS celebrates, promotes and supports peer inspiration projects.

Peer inspiration, like peer education, is based on the belief that people often gain or acquire knowledge effectively when they are inspired by a peer.

PIPS works with organisations that promote improved life choices for people in Scotland, with a focus on organisations and/or projects that work with and for young people.

PIPS provides guidance, resources and training on peer education & inspiration, and promotes the PIPS Charter to celebrate and acknowledge outstanding peer projects across Scotland.
