Lovely gesture from Dundee Age Concern for their winning YPI team at St Paul's Academy.
Don't forget to tune in this Saturday to hear the team Millburn Academy Invernessrness talk about their YPI success!
With 2 of Scotland’s 32 local authorities finishing up for summer today and the rest finishing over the next week, we would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you for taking part in YPI this year.
Together, you’ve helped make #GenerationChange possible!
One week on from the YPI National Event, we hear from the incredible voices who made the day so special.

A wonderful evening for Dollar Academy’s final last night with 9 creative, mature presentations.
Crossroads Fife won the £3000 and all other teams walked away with £1000 thanks to a generous anonymous donation.
An amazingly creative final recently at Hillhead High school saw the team representing Flourish House walk away with the prize after showing a confident and seamless presentation.
Working with likeminded partners supports the sustainability of YPI as we grow the opportunity throughout Scotland.
