Kind, compassionate and full of life. A politician who wore her heart on her sleeve and made the world a better place. She brought joy to everyone who knew her - and especially to her soulmate, Keith, and her beloved boys, Lewis and Jack. Christina McKelvie MSP - I was so proud to call you my friend. 💛

#UNCRCScotland Wow! Where to start.
For me, today is massive. Around a decade ago I attended @whocaresscot Summer Camp and heard from other young members about how their rights were being breached in various different are setting by various care providers. Change was needed!

Scotland is lucky to have such an amazing group of children's rights defenders. @together_sacr members have worked alongside children to achieve a great many improvements, but today really is a new dawn with the UNCRC Incorporation Act coming into force.
A new dawn for children's rights
As the sun rises over Scotland, @together_sacr is flying the UN & Scotland flags from the summit of Ben Nevis to celebrate children's rights becoming law through the #UNCRCScotland Act.
Happy UNCRC Commencement Day to children across Scotland🎈
