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.

Pride & Pixels is our digital youth space, where LGBTI young people can chat, get support and attend weekly online youth groups providing opportunities to connect, chat and explore issues, challenges and learning. 

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.

Our project would enable us to offer free football for all of our youths as we restart training. Parents/carers could bring existing and new players without financial worry, knowing their child/ren would reap all of the benefits of exercise, having fun, learning a skill and being part of a team.

We are applying because of the amount of young people taking part in training, we are having to purchase extra equipment that suits this age group. They are all looking for as much time as is possible to be given to help them achieve a high level of fitness which in turn promotes a healthier level of living. This would not be possible without the help of our SRU trained coaches and out Trustees commitment to the game. As a registered charity we promote the game right from P1 up to senior levels which involves over 15 registered coaches who give their time freely to this project which training now spread over every night and Sundays. The level of training puts a lot of wear and tear on our training equipment. We have recently had to purchase some new training tools for our two senior teams but would appreciate help with the junior teams. 

HIIT for Health will be a free group for young people to take part in High Intensity Interval Training aiming to improve their levels of physical and mental health.  Evidence shows that exercise can have a profoundly positive impact on mental health, including anxiety, depression and ADHD.  The fitness class will be followed by a health based workshop and nutritious meal, offering a holistic programme to improve the mind, body and soul. 

The drive in movie event will be an event that will be able to go ahead with all social distancing recommendations in place. Young people will be able to attend with their families at no cost and watch a movie on the big screen in our local park. The event planning, preparation and delivery will be done by a team made up of volunteers and young leaders who are aged 12 - 25.
