Participation

Introducing Abigail Rankin as our Youth Participation Worker for Moray.

Abigail will lead projects and campaigns in the north of Scotland which amplify lived experience of young people from armed forces and veteran families, which provide opportunities to forge new friendships, build confidence and develop new skills.

We caught up with Abigail earlier this week to learn more about the knowledge, skills, and experiences she brings to the role.

What inspired you to apply for this role with Forces Children Scotland?

“I applied for this role of Youth Participation Worker with Forces Children Scotland because I understand the value of young people being heard and the importance of giving them opportunity to get involved in bringing about positive changes in their lives.

“I have been impressed with how this charity seeks to provide not only direct contact and support for young people in armed forces and veteran families, but also its desire to take the challenges and feedback given seriously, seeking to implement change in various ways and forums for the young people.”
