Happy to be at the @CLD_SAC Youth Voice event this morning. #YouthWorkChangesLives

@__MatthewQuinn Truly sorry to hear you go, if there is anything I can do please let me know.

Great opening debate on the Scottish Youth Parliament’s work on transport. In the words of one MSYP “the under 22s bus pass is great but it’s not much use if there’s not a bus to use it on”. all young people must have access to safe, affordable and sustainable public transport

It's Results Day!

If you're not sure about what's next, volunteering is a great way to add to UCAS statements and try something new!

"We're trying to think up of some kind of unique idea or engagement idea that was also intergenerational."

Organisers at the Three Villages Forum spoke to That's TV about a series of events this June, connecting the three communities of Annbank, Mossblown & Tarbolton.

Oor pals down in Annbank are looking for a wee bit of help with their new Community Garden! I was down the other day and it is looking fab but they still need all the help they can get! https://t.co/appy7oxAbs

"Intergenerational essentially means you are bringing together two different generations."

That's TV spoke to Sarah Quinn the Youth Officer from @VASouthAyrshire about Global Intergenerational Week and why she believes it is the perfect time to try something new.

I actually have no words… what is the world coming to.

Rozelle Park willow sculptures – update
Due to a senseless act of vandalism, we’ll have to remove some of the damaged willow sculptures at Rozelle Park. We’re currently looking at different options to ensure this magical trail continues.

Massive shout-out every one of our Youth Councillors on being such amazing young people. The conversations that I was privileged to be a part of today were so insightful on what needs to be done to improve South Ayrshire for young people. Some future MSYPs among them as well!

[Matthew McColm @MattMcColm]

I’ve had the pleasure today of attending one of the #SouthAyrshireYouthCouncil meetings held in the historic County Buildings. Thank you @CLD_SAC for allowing me the opportunity to speak to our Youth Cllrs about the @OfficialSYP Manifesto and thank-you @laurapoppet for the tour!

[Matthew McColm @MattMcColm]

What a brilliant event! Serious well done to the organisers. #cAyrFest26 anyone?
