Lockerbie Learning Centre young people all have severe and complex needs. Play is crucial to sustaining their positive mental health. These funds would help to buy outdoor play equiptment which would be accessible to everyone as part of an outdoor learning area currently being developed by school and other partners.

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. 

The LGBTQI youth Group meet every Wednesday night in Lockerbie Youth Room, we are a group that are helping to support raising awareness issues surrounding LGBTQI and reducing any related attached stigma as well as being  a support group for LGBTQI young people.
