This week is Youth Work Week!

To open Youth Work Week 2026, it only seems fitting to reflect and celebrate the remarkable contribution one of our own has made as he transitions to a well-earned retirement. The inimitable George Cherrie brought a close to his 21 years of service at Youth Scotland last week.

George has invested his professional career in recognising the achievements of young people across Scotland. If you or your young people have completed a Hi5 Award or any other Youth Scotland youth award, you have George to thank for that!

His dedication and commitment to supporting young people, helped create opportunities for them to recognise their achievements, gain confidence and gain resilience.

George has written a farewell letter that you can read here 🔗 https://bit.ly/3UAdkAy

Further stormy weather is expected to affect Scotland through Tuesday and Wednesday.

Coastal flooding impacts are likely around the country, these may be particularly significant around the Northern Isles coastline. Storm surges combined with spring tides and large waves are expected to result in spray and wave overtopping, particularly around the high tide. These conditions may result in extensive flooding of low lying roads, property flooding and significant travel disruption.

Remain vigilant, particularly around coastal areas, and stay away from flooded promenades, sea walls and crashing waves.

Today's the last day of our flytipping campaign, but that doesn't mean we're done with the issue.

26,000 tonnes of waste is flytipped in Scotland every year. We all have a responsibility to ensure our household waste doesn't end up polluting our environment. If you aren't able to dispose of your items yourself and need to arrange for someone to collect them it is your responsibility to ensure they have a waste carrier registration number.

Doing this can help reduce the risk of your waste being illegally dumped.

Find out more on the Community Litter Hub: https://www.keepscotlandbeautiful.org/community-litter-hub/prevent/preventing-waste/

Our flytipping campaign was part of our efforts to support The Scottish Government's National Litter and Flytipping Strategy.

Further stormy weather is expected to affect Scotland on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with flooding impacts continuing for coastal communities. Today’s Scottish Flood Forecast highlights an Amber risk of flooding for the Western Isles, Caithness and Sutherland and the Northern Isles as a combination of high tides and large waves are expected to bring significant disruption

Across Monday, areas of the southwest and Argyll including the Solway Firth and Firth of Clyde will experience further disruption, particularly around high tide and into Monday evening. Large waves and strong winds will mean that the flooding of low-lying land and exposed roads, isolated properties and travel disruption, particularly from wave overtopping and spray, is likely.

Impacts from the wet and stormy weather will continue into Tuesday as higher winds increase the likelihood of significant flooding impacts. The areas expected to be impacted the most include the Western Isles, Northern Isles and the north-west coast. In these areas, communities can expect large waves and overtopping to result in extensive flooding of low lying roads, property flooding and significant travel disruption.

We continue to urge people to remain vigilant, particularly around coastal areas and stay away from flooded promenades and crashing waves.
