Young Scot co-design manager Paul Gault and sportscotland Chief Executive Stewart Harris are pictured with Ross Dobson and the Young People’s Sports Panel.
Arran teenager Ross Dobson is set to play a key role in developing sport in Scotland over the next two years as part of the young people’s sport panel (YPYS).
Ross has been selected from 156 applicants to be part of the panel, which has just been selected for the fourth time. Led by sportscotland and supported by Young Scot, the YPSP provides a national platform to represent a voice for young people from across Scotland to influence and shape the future of sport in Scotland and raise the profile of sport.
Ross, along with the 18 other panel members, will have the opportunity over the next two years to have their views heard and valued and the chance to influence decision-making and drive change in Scottish sport.
A rigorous recruitment process began in January when applications were submitted by 156 young people between the ages of 14 and 23 years old from every region of Scotland.
