Lead the Way

A real privilege to attend a double celebration with the Scottish Youth Parliament today.

First was their 16th birthday - an amazing achievement and I remember the "birth" so well. Fabulous to see how far they have come and how much has been delivered in that time. Beautifully poetic for their 16th to happen in the year Votes at 16 became a reality in Scotland.

Secondly it was the launch of their Scotland-wide consultation to inform their next manifesto. Previous MSYPs spoke so eloquently about previous manifesto campaigns that they have been involved in and the changes they have seen as a result - and it's a pretty impressive list!

Can't wait to see what the young people of Scotland say as part of the consultation re the changes they want for their communities.
