  North Lanarkshire Council

  Aug 2015 - Jul 2017

  When I was volunteering with St Timothy’s Primary School, I was given a great number of opportunities not only in St Andrews High School but with NL Active Schools and Sport Scotland as well. After spending a year working with other great volunteers coaching primary 7 pupils, I gained a lot from the experience. I was able to handle money and take account of all children in the class, maintain a safe environment for the kids to play and have fun in, ensure that there was enough equipment for the children and sustain a fun yet disciplined class to secure a happy and safe club.

  Gaelic and Scots Language Panel

  My 3 month post as a panellist on the Gaelic and Scots Learners Language Panel was a great insight into the positive change that we, as young people, can make for the future of these languages. Working with other young people from all across the country was a great experience and I learned so much. I hope our ideas and work can be put into practice to foster progressive movements for a world filled with Gaelic and Scots.
