About Eighteen And Under

Award-winning Eighteen and Under is a unique organisation, based in Dundee Scotland,committed to constant consultation with young people to identify their needs and provide them with the means to empower themselves and survive their personal traumatic experiences.

Beginning as a small project with limited funding and just one worker, it was quickly recognised that the need for such a service was greater than first imagined and Eighteen and Under was born!

In the past fifteen years our organisation has gone from strength to strength and now offers a wide ranging level of support service and abuse prevention resources for young people of all ages.
