Scottish Youth Parliament

Carers Trust Scotland supports two Members of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYPs) who represent young carers and young adult carers, aged 12 – 25, across Scotland. 

MSYPs are democratically elected every two years. Throughout their term, they will consult with their constituents on key issues, take part in national campaigning activities, sit on Scottish Youth Parliament (SYP) Committees and attend three National Sittings per year.

2021 Elections

In November 2021, the Scottish Youth Parliament (SYP) elections took place, where young carers and young adult carers, aged 12 – 25, voted for their representatives!

Max Green and Maja Meldrum were elected as your MSYPs for the 2022 – 2024 term.

Watch this space for updates from your MSYPs! You can read Max’s latest blog on what happened at the 77th National Sitting in July.
