The people make Works+
Staff Team
Scott Wight - Works+ Project Manager.
Scott is one of the founders of Works+ which was established in 2018 after the closure of the charity Tomorrow's People where he worked for 6 years on the Galashiels Works programme.
Scott moved over to the third sector after working for several years as a Plumber who was desperate for a change of career and has not looked back since.
Pip Wartnaby - Trainee Youth Worker/Employability Advisor.
Pip brings valuable experience, having worked with young people in various capacities, particularly focusing on care-experienced individuals.
What makes Pip's journey even more inspiring is their personal connection to the work we do. Ten years ago, Pip participated in the same 8-week employability programme for 16-24 year-olds, just like the young people they now support. This firsthand experience gives Pip unique insight into the challenges and opportunities faced by our participants, making her a compassionate and relatable member of the team.
Charlie Dawson - Volunteer and Partnership Co- ordinator
Charlie is the Works+ Volunteer and Partnership Co-ordinator and her goal in this role is to raise awareness of how the Works + programme can help young people into the working world. Charlie's role is to also
seek to strengthen the partnership with other professionals and agencies to facilitate a wide range of opportunities.
Charlie has actively engaged with young people for the past 15 years, working at youth clubs. She is passionate about equality in youth provision, and making sure all young people’s needs are met.

documentary, and with her experience supporting several charities helping young people strive for a
better education or opportunities in life, she was determined to become involved with Works+.

several years, she now works in property development and has her hands full!
