For day two of #VolunteersWeek we focused on the first of our four themes that make volunteering with AYM so rewarding: Expression!
Have a look at what motivates Lily and Rebecca to volunteer with us 👇

We kicked off 2025 yesterday with our first monthly meeting!
Great to reflect on last year, and what we can do this year to make things at AYM better than ever #voiceschangefutures
We had our final AYM meeting of 2024 last night!
Full of festiveness but also a great session with @aberdeencc.bsky.social on equalities and what we want to see in the coming years.

It’s been a busy, Christmas filled week for team AYM!
