We want to bring young women together to advocate, mentor & celebrate International Women's Day 2022 through creating a network of young women in every secondary school within Dumfries & Galloway where they will have a role model who has their own unique story to tell. The young people will take part in workshops alongside their role model and peers and will come together in March 2022 to a conference designed by them.

Introduction of a Nurturing space at Sanquhar Academy. We would use this to buy equipment for our young people to use indoor or outdoor when utilising the spaces provided. These activities would allow learners to socialise, learn and thrive in a healthy environment. This would contribute to Covid-19 recovery.

Wallace Hall Academy WHApples group are developing a wellbeing garden within our orchard.  With the help of funding, the area will provide a stimulating, relaxing and enjoyable space for our young people and the wider community to interact with nature and enjoy the wellbeing benefits of the outdoors.  The area will be developed with the help of our local young people and our wider community. 

To encourage more young people to take part or volunteer in RDA sessions. We know that the lockdowns have had a massive effect on our young people’s mental health by coming to take part or volunteer this will improve their outlook on life.
