The First Minister met 15 year old Bethany Morton, a young carer.

Bethany would like to be involved in politics when she is older and had asked the First Minister if she could meet with her for advice.

Bethany and her teacher travelled to the the Parliament and joined the First Minister in her office where they talked about issues Bethany is interested in – such as rights for young voters.

The First Minister was very impressed by Bethany’s determination and thought she had a bright future ahead of her!
