Joy Fisher

Joy jonined the SU Scotland staff team in 2026, working in the Ministry at the Margins team as Bridgeton Youth Project Development Worker.

'New to the staff team, but no stranger to Scripture Union, I attended SU camps as a young person and later returned as a volunteer leader. Having experienced the impact of SU firsthand, I am passionate about helping children and young people discover opportunities for faith, growth, and community.

As the Bridgeton Youth Project Development Worker I will be looking to establish new community and schools work in this area of the East End of Glasgow, which will develop into a new local youth project in the style of Junction 12 and Ferrywell Youth Projects.

I am passionate about helping young people feel valued, supported, and empowered to make healthy choices. Having lived in the area, attended church, and volunteered as a youth leader in the East End, I already have strong connections within the community and am excited to see how God will use me in this new chapter with SU Scotland.

With over 15 years of experience in youth and community work, alongside a degree in Youth Work and Theology, I have had the privilege of working with organisations including Barnardo’s Safer Choices, Glasgow City Mission, and COVEY, supporting children, young people, facing a range of challenges.

Through these roles, I have worked alongside young people who are care-experienced, navigating the asylum process, experiencing poverty, managing additional support needs and engaging in risk-taking behaviours. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to helping young people recognise their worth, overcome challenges, and realise their potential.'
