This is absolutely an important issue to discuss in Inverclyde.

I have seen an increase in young people gambling with some doing so whilst underage. It’s a slippery slope. Banning advertising at football would be a ‘big step’ in the right direction. The Big Step

This is good policy 👏

More of this please!

🗨️ We consulted with over 4000 young people across Scotland who told us their priorities - our new national campaigns are:

1⃣ Increase mental health training and education
2⃣ Invest in and protect youth work services
3⃣ End gender-based violence

I came across this clip from the campaign trail last November. I’m just as optimistic today as I was then about what Inverclyde can be.

Young People are desperate to leave Inverclyde. We can’t hide from that but we won’t tackle it unless we take pride in our area. #inverclyde

Good luck to everyone in Inverclyde sitting exams over the next 5 weeks.

Going through this process for the third time this year, I am going to allow time to rest and recuperate after a busy school year as well as time for study.

It’s important to get a good balance of both.📚
