Was great to welcome @BenMacpherson to @YouthLinkScot National Youth Work Conference #YLSConf25. The heartfelt support of the critical role of youth work in the lives of young people and communities was clearly communicated and additional funding for the sector welcomed.

Higher and Further Education Minister @BenMacpherson today announced £150,000 for grassroots youth services.
It will support measures to re-engage young people with school and address anti-social behaviour.

Love the juxtaposition of the morning and afternoon workshops in this room. Youth Work is doing both things at once, empowering young people to create fabulous new things, and to avoid social harms #DYWConf25 @YouthLinkScot thx @NKBLScotland @AbertayUni

Pleased Minister @GraemeDeyMSP emphasised the crucial role of face-to-face youth work. We need offline & online engagement to ensure young people are supported to navigate the offline/online worlds they inhabit - it’s not an either/or. #DYWConf25 #SaferInternetDay @YouthLinkScot

We want to hear from young people about what they think of volunteering in Scotland in our new survey! 🗣️
The feedback will help @YoungScot, @volunteer_scot, @YouthLinkScot & @ScotGov develop future volunteering services 🙋
