The story

It was previously known as the Youth Action Committee (YAC) and Listen Young People Speaking (LYPS) which performed a similar role in Aberdeen since its establishment in 1998.

In October 2010 they launched a survey to determine local attitudes on various issues; by May 2011 they had collated 165 responses. In November 2014, the chair wrote to the council after changes were made to school menus around packaged food items. In 2015 they held a sex-education session for 22 pupils, after reaching the conclusion that sex education in local schools was lacking in terms of coverage of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) issues and consent.

It was a registered charity from 1 January 1992 until 12 April 2016.
