Columba 1400: enabling young people and the key adults in their lives to discover their true potential. Our purpose is simple: to help young people realise that they already have the inner greatness and confidence to transform their own lives and those around them. We are committed to our founding principles of the warmth of welcome, of hospitality and the sense of being on a shared journey. Our values based approach provides young people, their parents or carers, teachers and support workers to come together through a range of activities, which take place in their home community and through a residential at our purpose built Leadership centres in Staffin on the Isle of Skye and at Ardoch, on the banks of Loch Lomond.
