🔵 This afternoon young local representatives from the Western Isles Youth Services Lewis Youth Council and the Young Islanders Network attended the NHS Western Isles Annual Review, which was chaired by Maree Todd MSP (Minister for Social care, Mental wellbeing and Sport).

🟠 The young people heard lots about the successes and challenges their local health board has faced during 2023-2024, giving them a better understanding of the scale and impact their board has in the community.

📣After the review and Q&A session, they were then given the opportunity to speak briefly with MSP Maree Todd and the Chair of the board, GIllian McCannon.

🔵 They spoke about the development of CAMHS services nationally and what Scottish Government are doing nationally to improve this. Also highlighted stigma in island communities around mental health and how this can be a challenge. They also highlighted some of the successes of being involved in youth voice platforms and having their views heard and seeing change happening, and how this is important for young people.

It was great to meet the Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street.

We were sitting amongst incredible people from the length and breadth of the country, eating a feast fit for a King!👑🎉

It was great fun and we are so thankful to UK Youth for having us there to celebrate.

It was a wonderful opportunity to meet people from all walks of life and other young people who love youth work!

We also shared a table with the First Lady Biden and the Prime Minister, isn’t that quite something for a Sunday afternoon!
