About Regen:FX Youth Trust

Regen:FX Youth Trust is a well-established third sector youth organisation, working across South Lanarkshire since 2007. We are firmly embedded in our communities and committed inclusion and recovery-focused practice.

We work alongside young people, families and communities to create spaces and services to support young people to succeed in life with a focus on reducing harm and challenging stigma.

Regen:FX delivers a wide portfolio of youth work services across South Lanarkshire, including mental health services, youth projects and diversionary activities such as extreme sports programmes. This ensures young people have access to a broad range of support, opportunities and pathways.

The Trust also delivers The GIVIT Youth Recovery Service for young people affected by their own alcohol and substance use, alongside GIVIT some STREET, the early intervention element of the service supporting young people at risk.

We have recently been awarded a new contract with the South Lanarkshire Alcohol and Drug Partnership (SLADP) to deliver Workforce Development Training, now known as C2K Training. This programme supports practitioners across statutory and third sector services to feel confident, informed and supported when working with people affected by alcohol and substance use.

Across all our work, we are committed to stigma-free, trauma-informed practice, human rights and dignity, and the meaningful involvement of lived and living experience. Our approach is relationship-based and grounded in the belief that how we work with people matters just as much as what we do.
