Our Board Members
Our Staff Team
Our Shadow Board
Fast Forward’s work is developed by, with and for children and young people.
We make sure that they have the information and resources they need to make informed decisions and reduce the negative impact of risk-taking behaviour on their lives.
Our Shadow Board is made up of young people, aged 14 to 24, and is representative of young people across Scotland. They draw on their lived experience, and that of their friends and family, to ensure our work focuses on the risk-taking behaviours most relevant to the lives of Scottish children and young people today.
“I’ve seen the impact of alcohol & drugs on my friend’s lives, I want to make sure other young people know the risks, and where to get help.”
We are committed to delivering an inclusive service that creates opportunities for all, and do not tolerate discrimination. We welcome all people inclusive of ethnic background, disability, sex, religion or belief, gender identity or reassignment, sexual orientation, age, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy and maternity, veteran status, and the many other parts of a person’s identity.
