Students at Saint Paul’s High School brought big smiles and great energy yesterday, whilst repping The Sporting Chance Foundation in the rain! 😁🚴‍♀️ @St_PaulsRCHS @St_PSocialSubs @JohnHar94733698

Thank you to @St_PaulsRCHS for inviting us to speak with S3's this morning! We loved hearing the students thoughts on how best to get more young people participating in sport. Eilidh suggested to 'start with a friend who can come with you.' 👌🤼🧘🧘‍♂️

Despite the storms, the wonderful students of @craigiehighpe @Craigie_High have been braving golf for the first time. We couldn’t be more impressed! A huge thank you to the professionals at @BallumbieGolf for their brilliant coaching and expertise.

Yesterday we brought the students of @GovanHighSchool to start their skiing adventure @glasgowski 🤟⛷ #watchthisspace

#Parents and #carers play a pivotal role in encouraging and supporting their child’s participation, success and fun when playing sport. We heard from @nekodadavis_57 and the role her mum played in her journey to gold! @BigTentIdeas

Increasing the visibility of women in all realms of sport and physical activity is a tool to aid the next generation of girls, to feel inspired and maintain interest and enhance lifelong participation. Inspiring stories can change lives. #sportforall #inspireothers #lynseysharp

Incredibly exciting news for Glasgow and Scotland! bbc.co.uk/sport/scotland…

We took part in discussions around young people and #mentalhealth hosted by @UNHouseScotland and @SIGBI1. It was a privilege to lead discussions around the needs of young people from a grassroots perspective and share solutions to developing inclusive #policies and #practices.
