We have 7 Trustees – Aine Lovedale (Co-Chair, Manager, National Lottery Community Fund Scotland), Ami Anderson (Co-Chair, Series Producer, STV Children’s Appeal), John Todd (Treasurer, former Partner, Johnston Carmichael), Ali Whitty (MD, Erskine Arts), Amy-Beth Miah (Policy Officer, Activist), Dionne Hossack (Student Nurse, Activist) Marion Hutchison (Scott’s Mum, Founding Trustee.)

We are building a network of young volunteers and activists under 30 to make sure that young people are at the heart of all of our work.

We’re currently working with consultants Heather Belmonte (Virtual Assistant), Bruce Crawford (Corporate Partnerships) and others including press, marketing and design experts to deliver our work.
