I’ve had the best 5 years as an MSYP, I’ve had experiences and opportunities I would never have imagined, which have changed me for the better.
None of it would have been possible without the amazing SYP staff team and my fellow MSYPs. Thank you for everything!
❤️ As we welcome new trustees, our AGM brings the 2023-24 @SYPBoard to a close
👏 Thanks to @MollieMcGoran, @CrisantosIke, @AbbieMSYP, @EmmaPrach and @Marcus_Flucker for all of their hard work during the last term and over recent years
Thank you in particular to the fantastic people I was lucky enough to be on a board alongside, @EwanKnightMSYP for being the most amazing convener partner, @BrianWebb74 for being the best support worker, @SYP_Rosy for the late night chats, and everyone else who has supported me!

I’ve had an absolutely amazing time as an MSYP. I’ve had opportunities I would never have dreamed of and have grown massively in confidence and skills, doing things I would never have thought possible.
I’m looking forward to meeting the new MSYPs and seeing what you achieve!!
🗓️ Today is the last day of SYP's 2021-23 Membership, which means we're saying farewell to our Members from over the last two years!
✍️ But first, we want to take a look back at just some of what our MSYPs have been up to...

Happy #InternationalVolunteerDay to all my fellow volunteers!
Volunteering has given me so many opportunities and supported me to develop a variety of skills that I would not haven been able to have without it. If you don’t currently volunteer, I can’t recommend it enough!

I am absolutely over the moon to have finished uni, finally!! Three years of hard work but I’m now a registered mental health nurse.
I’m really looking forward to starting as a NGN with CAMHS on Monday! 🥳
Here’s some photos of me participating in some different sports! #SheCanSheWill
I want to challenge all @OfficialSYP MSYPs to share a photo of themselves being active!

👏 Welcome, Abbie!
I’ve had the most amazing week in Ghana with @wagggsworld for the Celebrating Us: Connected Communities event at Kusafiri.
Being able to meet so many inspiring young women from across the world and experience Ghanaian culture was fantastic! (1/2)
We spent time focusing on leadership, inclusion and communities. We also spent some time working in a hard to reach community which was fantastic.
I’m looking forward to putting my learning into practice at home! @Girlguiding @ukintguides @ScotlandINTOPS
