Classic

Specialising in attachment led childcare, Lullaby Lane Nurseries was founded by two working parents who recognised the importance of high quality early years childcare in a safe, loving and warm childcare environment.

Raising self-awareness of how we carry stress and anxiety, Calming Tigers supports adults and children to move towards calmness using a collection of body-based techniques like mindfulness, yoga, positive touch and laughter therapy. We have a shared belief that we’re all deserving of knowing our own value and self-worth.

The Foundation, created in memory of our dear friend and colleague Richard Loughran, supports individuals, families and communities to remove or reduce any barriers that might get in the way of them developing their infinite potential.

We began our journey in 2001 in the east end of Glasgow with our founder John Gibson aiming to create opportunity for young people who had disengaged with education and were facing social and personal barriers to accessing employment. John combined his financial sector experience with his belief that everyone has a talent, to create tigers – an organisation that’s commercially sustainable and people-centred.

Over the years the name tigers – standing for Training Initiatives Generating Effective Results Scotland – has become synonymous with relationships, collaborations and a holistic approach to development and growth. What started as a team of 2 has grown to a team of almost 100, all sharing the same vision!

Young people are our future workforce, providing a beacon of hope, and our involvement with the Kickstart Scheme helps us provide equal opportunities for individuals, families and communities. The scheme offers fully funded job placements where we facilitate connections and form the link between you, DWP and young people.

Want to be a part of it?

We believe young people learn best, grow more and thrive, in whatever career they choose, when they’re fully supported. We offer everything needed to flourish: training through our courses and apprenticeships, connections through our mentorship programmes, as well as our ongoing, caring support.

Want to be a part of it?

We work with a diverse range of partners to help bring about change in the workplace and improve opportunities for young people. Whether that’s through job placement initiatives like Kickstart or fostering conversations on issues affecting young people, we have relationships at the heart of all our partnerships.
