Lead Sport - Young People's Sport Panel

The Perth and Kinross Young People's Sports Panel represents the voice of young people for sport and physical activity across P&K and we are delighted to announce that applications for our 2025 panel will be opening soon. We are looking for a diverse range of young people who will be able to call on their own experiences to make a difference to Sport in Perth & Kinross. 

The aims and objectives of the YPSP are: 

  • Support and raise the profile of sport and physical activity in Perth and Kinross
  • Use sport to make positive change across Perth and Kinross
  • Break down barriers to improve access to sport and physical activity opportunities for all young people in Perth and Kinross

The YPSP is an amazing opportunity to make sure the youth voice is heard!  Our panel members will get opportunities to speak at events, work with our key partners in Sports Hubs, groups and Sports council, promote and support local young sports people and events on social media as well as supporting the organisation and running of local sporting events.  We are excited to welcome some of the previous panel who will now transition into becoming mentors for the new group and support with the programming of the YPSP.  

Applicants should be: 

  • Aged between 15 - 19 
  • Living or studying in Perth & Kinross 
  • Passionate about the impact Sport can makeConfident to represent other young people
  • Able to commit to 1 meeting per month (teams or in person)
