Robbie Burgess Youth Work

For the next month, we want to hear how you feel about money! If you are Care Experienced and over the age of 16 please complete our short survey - whocaresscotland.typeform.com/to/V42RNbUa Your views will make up our next Issue Paper, which we'll share directly with Scotland's changemakers.

Happy #UNCRCScotland Commencement Day today! I started campaigning for UNCRC Incorporation when I was in my teens. While no longer a young person (🥲) I’m now celebrating as someone who works to support rights-based approaches. Immensely proud of all who got us here and beyond.

Tomorrow is the last day to register to vote in the general election. Make sure you are registered to vote by midnight tomorrow! Also, if you're 16 or 17 even though you can't vote in the general election yet. Did you know you can still register to vote for Scottish elections.

🏳️‍🌈We're proud to support the work of #LGBTYouthScotland every day, not just during Pride Month 🌈We like to make our project as accessible and safe for everyone 💙For more information on LGBT+ support in Scotland check out lgbtyouth.org.uk #PrideMonth2024

With the General Election getting closer and closer, we wanted to share these key dates. Remember, UK General Elections now require voter ID. If you need an ID, you can claim your free Voter Authority Certificate here: gov.uk/apply-for-phot…

Today, we take time to remember all the Care Experienced people who are no longer with us. We encourage you to do this in whatever way feels right for you. You can find out more about the day and its origins at whocaresscotland.org/care-experienc…
