Since my term as a Member of the Scottish Youth Parliament officially ends tomorrow I'd like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has helped me through this journey. From today this account will be for my local youth work within Renfrewshire. 1/3 #SYP #RYV #RenCouncil

To the SYP staff who have been so kind and supportive, to the Renfrewshire Youth Services team who have always had my back, to my fellow MSYPs (we'll meet again), to Mrs K who inspired me to run in the first place, and to my constituents for giving me this chance, thank you. 2/3

My Climate pledge for #ScotClimateWeek is to live at least one meat-free day a week. @OmarMSYP @BeauJMsyp @kym_msyp What about you? #SYPCampaigns

📝 To round off #ScotClimateWeek, make a climate pledge and tag three people to do the same! 🌐 Climate change requires system change, but we can get more motivated to take action by making it more personal and reflecting on how we can live more sustainably #SYPCampaigns

In the time I've known her, Beau has been overwhelmingly supportive, kind and passionate about campaigning for the issues that matter to young people. She is a shining example of what SYP is about and she'd make one hell of a trustee. I'm #OnBoardWithBeau, are you?

Tonight I was at the 10th Positive About Youth Awards in Renfrewshire, a celebration of young people's achievements throughout the year. Was a hugely successful event! Congrats to all the nominees and thank you to @DanielaMSYP for directing this amazing event!

Here's what I voted at SYP 78 earlier this weekend according to my constituents' views (and in some cases my own due to varied responses). Well done to those who proposed a motion as they all passed voting and are now official SYP policy!

To everyone receiving exam results today, I hope you've got the results you were looking for. Simply making it through an exam diet coming out of one of the most uncertain and stressful periods of our lives is something to be admired, no matter what your results show.

Had a great day out with @stewartMSYP and @terimsyp at the vote count for the Renfrewshire Council election! It was a pleasure to meet with the candidates, MSPs and MPs present and I look forward to working with them in the future!

Delighted to announce that myself and @TeriMooneyMSYP have been elected to represent Paisley in the Scottish Youth Parliament! Thank you to @Daniela_MSYP and Beth Rogan for standing, you've done something not many people can do and you should be very proud.
