❤️ Thank you to our MSYPs and partners for your resilience and support throughout 2024 to protect young people's rights - we look forward to working with you in 2025.
🗓️ As we approach the end of 2024, we've been reflecting on the year that was for SYP!
⬇️ Read our thread below to see what MSYPs have been up to while representing young people's voices this year:
The seventh @sportscotland and @youngscot Young People's #SportPanel has been revealed and we can't wait for you to meet them 🎉

They shared ideas about the best ways to:
