As your representatives, it is their role to listen to you and amplify the voices of the Care Experienced community within this vital youth forum.
I’m delighted to announce that I have been elected as your Who Cares? Scotland MSYP alongside the fantastic Charles. My fellow candidates have been generous, kind and supportive throughout my journey and it’s been a pleasure to share this process with them. While I’m over the moon at hearing today’s result, I know the hard work only truly begins now. I can’t wait to get stuck into SYP and listen to our Care Experienced members on a range of issues, and ensure their voices are heard.
