Big thanks to Ben Macpherson MSP for taking the time to visit YMCA Edinburgh this week following the launch of Inspiring Scotland’s intandem Scotland impact report.
As well as discusssing the impact mentoring can have, we appreciated the opportunity to speak about YMCA work to support young peoples voice in influencing community developments and the ongoing concerns and perceptions of anti-social behaviour in Leith. Looking at the importance of opportunities for belonging and connection for young people and voluntary sector approaches to helping build the scaffolding around young people and their familes… Of course not passsing up the chance to highlight SCVO (Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations) Fair Funding Proposal and how long term investment and trust in community based groups could help build community resilience.
Thanks for your time Ben
