Happy to have met Kirsteen Sullivan MP with Catriona Daw MSYP/MYP to discuss the work of the Scottish Youth Parliament and our campaign goals. We discussed how to increase youth participation, end gender-based violence, and address climate change within our communities.
Thank you to Declan McGavin MSYP and Catriona Daw MSYP/MYP for meeting with me this evening. A fantastic conversation around shared priorities and our commitment to ensuring young peopleās voices are heard in the policy making process.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of speaking with Stephen Kerr MSP to discuss Falkirk Councilās proposal to cut school hours. It was a very interesting conversation and emphasised the importance of protecting Scotlandās education.
Today, I had the opportunity to meet Cllr. Iain Sinclair to discuss the Learning Week proposal and the alternative education cuts. Iām grateful for his invitation to discuss this issue, and I found it valuable to have an open and constructive conversation on Falkirkās situation.
