About Us

The Destiny Project is a UK-registered mental health charity tackling deprivation through community collaboration. We support children, young people and communities by improving wellbeing, building confidence and creating opportunities across four key areas: Health, Poverty, Education and Environment.

Our peer-led services help people develop confidence, practical skills and life skills, supporting them to become more independent and reach their potential. We work alongside local businesses, organisations and communities to create meaningful opportunities, from community projects and volunteering to training, employability and future internships.

Our provisions also include Destiny United FC, our mental health and wellbeing football club. Through football, DUFC provides an inclusive and supportive environment where people can connect, improve their wellbeing and enjoy being part of a team, football with purpose. You can find out more on our dedicated Destiny United FC page.

Looking ahead, we aim to expand our training and employability opportunities and work towards becoming an SQA-accredited training provider, creating further pathways for people to learn, develop and progress.

Volunteers remain at the heart of The Destiny Project, with meaningful opportunities to help shape our work, support our communities and make a genuine difference.

Imagination drives us; standards sustain us.
