Youth

The 2016 Scottish Charity Awards are now open for entries in seven categories.

Has your organisation achieved something special this year? Does your charity have an exceptional employee? Do you know somebody who has made an outstanding contribution to a charity or cause? 

The annual Scottish Charity Awards are run by the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) and celebrate the achievements of the third sector. 

Young people's views on a range of money-related issues are being sought by a national charity.

Young Scot, the youth information and citizenship charity, are carrying out an online survey to gather views on everything from bank accounts to mobile phones to payday loans.

If you are a young person having problems with money, Young Scot want to hear from you. The stories you tell will help them understand how Young Scot can help you and other young people manage their money.

There is still time to make your nominations for this year's Sunday Mail Young Scot Awards.

These annual awards shine a light on the positive contributions young people make every day and provide a fantastic opportunity to see their efforts and dedication celebrated.

The award categories are:

Around 150 people gathered at Perth Racecourse this week for a New Entrants to Farming Gathering.

This free event was aimed at Scotland's farmers of the future and was organised by SRUC as part of the Scottish Government's New Entrants to Farming programme.

Vote for your favourite short film in the FilmG competition and help decide the winner of the People's Choice Award.

Budding filmmakers, community groups and school groups from around the country have made the shortlists for this year's FilmG competition. This year’s theme, ‘Cliù’ (Fame/Reputation), inspired an array of new ideas and stories from filmmakers making it an exciting yet difficult job for the jury to pick out the best from this year’s entries.

A short film produced by the Scottish Rural Network Support Unit highlights some of the cultural and social benefits of the International Farm Youth Exchange Programme.

Each year, young farmers and students from across rural communities apply to take part in a cultural exchange programme and stay with host families in another country.

The International Youth Farm Exchange (IFYE) Conference 2015 took place last year, with previous participants of the IYFE programme from across the world gathering at Gordonstoun, Scotland for a week of activities.
