Great to be invited along to support @scotfire_edin in their most recent fire skills course with young people from @castlebraeccc - providing an opportunity to develop teamwork, self-esteem, communication & first aid. As one young person said “the best thing he has ever done”.

Delighted to share this important campaign. We know young people are going to use social media, and it’s important to enable them to use it in ways that are healthy. Collaborating with Medics Against Violence and YouthLink Scotland on this has been a privilege. #QuitFightingForLikes
