YSI North East 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Welcome to the official page of YSI North East!
💛 Promoted by Erin Nicholson on behalf of the North East. For Young People, By Young People 🎗️

The Young Scots for Independence (YSI) is committed to empowering other young people in Scotland. We believe in other people and what we can achieve by working together. We look to harness and grow the abilities of young Scots and the extraordinary potential of future generations. As open-minded, tolerant, proud global citizens we are inspired by what the 21st century can bring. The YSI aim to be

well informed and welcome intellectual engagement and debate. The YSI believe in self-determination so that as a country we can be responsible and accountable for ourselves and so the Scottish people can have their voices heard in the international community. We strive for independence because we believe in democracy, as a system and as a virtue. We campaign so that the Scottish Parliament can represent and respond to the priorities, values and aspirations of the Scottish people, on every issue and at every level and strive for social justice. In this age of globalisation, it is only with financial and fiscal powers that Scotland can become a fairer and more successful country within our lifetimes.

💚 Every day is Su***de Prevention Day.

September is National Su***de Prevention Month, but looking out for each other shouldn’t be limited to one month of the year.

Take the time to check in with the people around you. Listen, reach out, and don’t be afraid to start a conversation. You never know how much a simple message or knowing someone cares could mean.

If you’re struggling, please reach out. You are loved. You matter. You are not alone.

🗣️ A brilliant evening of discussion and collaboration with Aberdeenshire West!

Last night, we had the opportunity to introduce YSI North East to the Aberdeenshire West SNP Constituency Association and talk about our plans for the branch.

We spoke about why we reactivated YSI North East, what we’ve achieved so far and our priorities for getting more young people involved in politics, building an inclusive community and making sure young people’s voices are heard and represented.

We also discussed our plans for the months ahead, including more events, campaigning and outreach, visiting SNP branches across the North East and building links with colleges, universities and youth organisations.

We then had a great Q&A covering everything from engaging young people in politics and the rise of the Scottish Greens, to Scotland Independence and engaging with colleges and universities.

A huge thank you to Aberdeenshire West for having us and a warm thank you to Fatima Joji SNP for making this happen!

Marching for Scotland’s Independence! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Today, our convener Erin Nicholson, joined people from across Scotland to march for independence and show our support for Scotland’s right to choose its own future.

It was brilliant to see so many people come together, with a real mix of generations and communities, all united by the belief that Scotland’s future should be in Scotland’s hands.

For us, independence is about building a better future for the next generation and making sure young people have a say in the country we live in.

The movement is still here.

⭐️ A brighter future for Aberdeen Beach.

The regeneration of Aberdeen Beach is one of the biggest investments in our city in over 30 years, creating a more vibrant, accessible and exciting space for local people and visitors alike.

With a new play park designed with young people in mind, a skatepark and a 2.5-hectare events field, this project will create opportunities for recreation, tourism and community events for years to come.

YSI North East welcomes this investment in our region and would like to recognise the work of Councillor Christian Allard and everyone involved in helping deliver this regeneration.

Today, our Secretary, Damir Glazko, attended the Turriff Show to support the local SNP branch with their stall and speak to members of the public about the SNP.

It was great to see such a positive response throughout the day and have so many engaging conversations with people from across the local community.

The North East has powered Scotland for generations, and the workers who have built our energy industry deserve certainty about their future.

Following BP’s decision to sell its North Sea business, YSI North East is sharing our statement on the impact this will have on workers, their families and communities, and why urgent action is needed to protect jobs, secure investment and deliver a just transition.
