I am so excited to be the next Chair of the Scottish Youth Parliament!

If you had told 15 year old me at my first SYP sitting that this is where I’d be in 5 years she wouldn’t have believed you❤️

A massive congratulations to our new trustees and Vice Chair @OliviaBrown6464

Today I had the honour of delivering the final Time for Reflection of this session of The Scottish Parliament as Chair of SYP.

Last Sunday marked 5 years since I lost my mum at 17.

Youth work made me the person I am today. It not only changed my life, but saved it too.

‘As you all know by now this year is our 25th anniversary and wow, what an SYPerfect year it has been! Above all else my favourite part of the year has been getting the Membership together at our Sittings. We met at SYP81 in Stirling where we elected our new board. Last month, we had a wonderful time taking over the Scottish Parliament at SYP82 and celebrated in style at our Parliamentary Reception. What has made this year so wonderful has been giving our Members an opportunity to speak now about the issues that matter to them to make their communities better for young people. I want to say a massive thank you to all of our partners, stakeholders, support workers and SYP staff for everything you have done to make what we have achieved in 2024 possible. Everyone at SYP wishes you all a festive season where you shake it off and have a well-deserved break! Here’s to an amazing 2025, where young people continue to be fearless in creating change.... are you ready for it?’

Reposting this for anyone who might need it at this time of year.

It can be easy to fall into the social media highlight real at Christmas but remember if you are struggling, you are never alone 💜

Over the last 2 years I made a thread of fun activities ➡️ #GrievingAndGrowing
