Young People's Sport Podcast

In this episode we’re talking about care experience in sport, understanding what some of the barriers are for young people in care, and what can be done to ensure that sport is a welcoming place. 

Kira and Callum help to shine a light on this topic, and share some tips for anyone involved in sport to play their part in making sport more inclusive for care experienced people. 

In this episode we spoke to Kirsty McNab, CEO of Scottish Sports Futures, and Mark Gallacher of Beacon Warriors and Royston Youth Action. Tune in for an inspiring conversation about the power of sport, its potential to change lives, and the importance of consulting with young people to better engage them in activity. 

The Young People's Sport Podcast is back for a new series! Hosted by Ailsa and Sean, members of the sixth Young People's Sport Panel, these episodes will each feature a discussion around inclusion in sport.

"In this series we will be covering various topical issues around inclusion, and how we can all help make sport more welcoming and accessible for everyone. As part of the YPSP we’re constantly learning about different aspects of sport outside our own experiences, and we get to talk to some amazing people from across the sporting system. This is something we want to share with others and open up some conversations about the power of sport and physical activity."

In this episode we talk to Melanie Woods and Laura Pilkington about disability sport, their experiences and practical things everyone can to do make sport more accessible for people with a disability. 

In this episode, we catch up with Chris and Gemma who are both former Young People's Sport Panel members, on the first and second YPSP. We hear how their experiences helped to shape their career paths, and what else they've been up to since!
