Special Feature: Youth Philanthropy Initiative Images from Winning Presentation and Article by Grant Smith (S6) YPI Experience: Grant Smith YPI is something I hold close to my heart. In 5th year, the process started and our group began researching local charities. It dawned on me that I could actually raise £3000 for a charity that is extremely close to my heart – Friends of Roxburghe House. Both my granda and my auntie had stayed there during the last part of their lives so I knew that the charity could obviously do great work with the money. After all of our group’s hard work we managed to become the reigning Oldmachar Academy YPI Winners! In 6th Year I realised that I should try and help out the YPI groups of this year to produce a good presentation and maybe even win the competition. YPI is something I know I will always be thankful for, and will always be there to support in Oldmachar Academy
