August has arrived and the mornings feel a little cooler. I had the opportunity to attend the Future Leaders evening with Councillor Furnell at Ayr High recently and listen to the students speak.
The topics covered taking a digital detox and from small things big things grow. They spoke of how important volunteers are in the community and how taking a break from social media and the perils of what it can do to a person’s mental health.
One speaker told how simply saying yes to playing a sport she had never played, opened up her world to friends and travel. As a parent, it was hearting to hear that these young future leaders are thinking about these things so deeply. Well done and thanks for the evening.
