Last week, St Giles' Cathedral hosted the Scottish Youth Hustings, in partnership with the John Smith Centre and the Scottish Youth Parliament.

The event reflected on the findings of this year’s John Smith Centre UK Youth Poll, and featured six young candidates who are standing at the Holyrood elections.

Thank you to the SYFF Team for the photos, and to Marisa Piccininni, Tim Pont, and Sam Flynn from The Panic Room Podcast who wrote up the event and will shortly be discussing it on their podcast.
