One Community Scotland
“Reducing violence starts with care, opportunity, and connection. Our work is about more than programmes — it’s about belonging. When young people feel seen, supported, and safe, they don’t just survive, they thrive. By investing in young people’s wellbeing, we’re building safer, stronger communities together.”
- Dr. Khadija Coll MBE (Chair-person and Founder)

Our Vision
Our vision is a Scotland where every young person, regardless of their background, is supported and empowered to thrive. We envision a future where young people feel connected, valued, and equipped to realise their full potential.
Empowering the youth for a brighter tomorrow
One Community Scotland is an award-winning, youth-led organisation that supports young people aged 14-24 from BME communities as they settle as New Scots in Scotland. We are dedicated to combating prejudice, overcoming language barriers, and addressing financial illiteracy.
