FYI (Perth and Kinross)

We still have work to do before the festive break but we just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who has supported @fyipandk this year. Lets all keep working together to make things as good as they can be for our care experienced young people both locally and nationally!

@ColleenLct @LifeChangesTrst It was great to see you @ColleenLct!!! 😄

@fyipandk @LifeChangesTrst Massive thank for taking the time to chat last night! Lots of learning and laughter which is the recipe for a great meeting if you ask me!

As most folk start to chill the week before Xmas we have had our Group on Monday, Champs Board Zoom last night and a meeting with @LifeChangesTrst tonight! This is on top of us all having busy days too! We can all wear this badge!

All about our pals @c200_Fund...

We believe the young ppl are experts in their own lives and should have access to funds they can use to make choices about their future. My Choice, My Future closes on Monday 14th, so if you are care experienced and are aged 18-30, take a look!

@fjmunro @whocaresscot We LOVE this!!!

Showing off my newly completed knitwear, which just happens to match perfectly my #Icare badge! Love the corporate parenting kit @fyipandk ❤❤ @whocaresscot

Santa came early to @fyipandk in the shape of George from 3G Catering. He had planned to give the group a 3 course meal but couldn't because of restrictions. So George & his team bought all the group a Christmas present instead! What a great guy & a great team he has! Thank you!!

@JaninemccEdScot We have to, it's so cold. We all hate them and have to force them down. It's a struggle but it keeps us warm(ish)! 😁

Last night we had not 1 but 2 great meetings with one of the PCs from @TaysidePolice. One on the South Inch and the second was virtual straight after. Lots of very productive conversation about relationships, engagement, pledges and care experience! Plus chips for warmth!😄

On Monday night one of @fyipandk recorded themselves talking about the group's thoughts on counsellors in schools for Tayside wide training. Definitely a serious subject but we fun recording as the rain came on with little shelter or light. Bloopers may appear in due course! 😄

We are not quite at the stage of working here 👇 on a Monday night but...?😆 This week we talked about possible joint work with @TaysidePolice, Xmas celebrations, evaluation work with @LifeChangesTrst & debated 'Should young people be paid for consultations?' Plus chips!
