McMillan Welcomes People's Millions Success for OYTS

Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP) and Ambassador for Ocean Youth Trust Scotland (OYTS) has today (Wednesday) welcomed the news that OYTS have been successful in winning the public vote in the People's Millions contest which took place on 22nd November.

The funding OYTS will receive will go toward the Sea Change in Young People project which aims to inspire positive change in 84 disadvantaged young people through the challenge of adventure under sail; believes that it will enable them to connect with what it considers to be the spectacular Scottish coastline for what might be the first time, and wishes the project every success in the vote.

Mr McMillan said;

"I am delighted for Ocean Youth Trust Scotland and everyone involved in the organisation for winning their People's Millions contest.

"This is a great achievement for the organisation and I know the funding will go towards an excellent cause and allow many young people the opportunity to sail, an opportunity which may previously never have been possible.

"As an Ambassador for OYTS I know first hand the excellent work they provide in supporting young people in our community and offering them opportunities to sail.

"Having OYTS based in Inverclyde has been an excellent fit for both the organisation and the area."
