Award	Year
Engagement Project of the Year / ‘Home Fae Home’ was a project led by Linsey McIntosh and Gary Kennedy, both from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design. The project involved working with young people from a youth-group organisation called The Hot Chocolate Trust charity, to co-design a range of new spaces within their existing building. These spaces were designed to increase a sense of home, belonging and safety for young people. They were also designed to help reduce stress, aid the recovery from adversity and trauma, and create many new opportunities for young people to develop additional skills, confidence and experiences which will help them to thrive in life.	2023
