St Mirren Football Club were paid a visit by Who Cares? Scotland yesterday as they look to recruit volunteers for the Children's Hearing Scotland's Children's Panel in Renfrewshire.
Jack Ross, Stephen McGinn and Tony Fitzpatrick met with local care experienced young people at the St Mirren Training Ground in Ralston yesterday afternoon as they looked to lend their support to the campaign.
Who Cares? Scotland is a national third sector organisation working with care experienced young people across Scotland. They wish to see a Scotland where care experienced people feel they are equal members of society and do not experience stigma and discrimination.
2% of 0-17 year-olds in Renfrewshire are looked after which is higher than the national figure of 1.5%.
Children's Hearing Scotland desperately need ordinary people who care about Renfrewshire's children to sit on panels that make life changing decisions about them.
St Mirren chief executive, Tony Fitzpatrick said: "It's important for St Mirren to support this as we are a community club. It's more than just a football club, it cares for the community. Who Cares Scotland do a phenomenal job and we are happy to support them."
