Spent the day with @ScoutsScotland learning about how the CashBack project is run in Scouting and how they support their groups with ASN and mental health. I’ve come away with lots of new ideas (and a new badge!) #CB4C

@MakeSpaceforGi1 🎉

I visited a Guide unit in Paisley to deliver #OwnOurZone. We chatted about what makes public spaces safe/unsafe and then created a perfect town. We had clean, accessible public toilets, safe waiting spaces at stations, loads of lights and bins, dog friendly places and much more!

Really informative and interesting session on mindfulness with media consumption in youth work with @GirlguidingScot & @YouthLinkScot ✨💚

Today, along with @Together_sacr, we are celebrating an amazing milestone for children’s rights in Scotland 🎉 The commencement of the #UNCRCScotland act after over a decade of campaigning. We are excited to see what this means for the future of Scotland & keeping #RightsOnTrack.

#GenerationCashBack works to make sure all young people can thrive, especially those living in areas that lack opportunities🤝 Last year #GCB engaged 3401 young people (98.5% from SIMD 1-5)🌟 See the impact these opportunities made in our 2023/24 Report➡️bit.ly/YS-GCBAR23-24

I visited Forres Rangers to run a Dream Design session. We looked at sustainable materials (including milk fabric!), Ranger uniform through the ages and chatted about how clothes can be deisgned to work for different disabilities and needs, before creating our own uniforms! #CB4C

Had an ace time at 1st Jedburgh Guide Unit looking at thinking critically about what we see in the media and how to treat people with kindness online #CB4C
