Our project is all about making mental health resources available and accessible to young people to ensure that they have help and support when they need it the most. Our mental health packs aim to support young people’s mental wellbeing.

We are the Environment & Climate Change Action Group for Dumfries & Galloway Youth Council and we’re applying for funding to cover the costs of training and team-building opportunities that’ll help us be effective in our role. Young people across D&G are worried about their future and the future of our area, country, and planet. The mental and physical well-being of young people and the issues facing our environment are linked and we are applying for funding for training that’ll help us support young people in our communities. 

This 16 week informal education programme offers young people the opportunity to become leaders in the sport of cheerleading and their local community. They will look into issues like mental health, body image, bullying and developing interpersonal skills for the future including communication and self confidence through group work and team building. 

We are working together with #LIFT Lochside and we have came up with a programme where the kids/young adults will be coming to Jericho Loch for catch to cook weekends, where they will camp, learn to fly fish, catch fish and also cook them. It's Fun!
