Kirkcudbright Youth Project will soon be setting up in our new permanent youth space in the newly renovated Johnston Centre. From here we will continue to provide a safe space for young people as well as providing structured evening sessions focusing on fun, laughter and provision in line with the needs of the young people. We also hope that partner organisations like issue-based youth groups currently operating will be able to share the new facilities and make best use of resources if this application is successful. 

Our proposal is particularly aimed at marginalised groups such as young people with additional support needs and disabilities, LGBT young people and care experienced young people who experience poverty, discrimination and are the most excluded from opportunities. We want to work with existing youth group to provide additional help with offering free nutritious food, to create new experiences and offer opportunities to improve life skills, increase levels of engagement and ultimately lead to volunteering roles within peer groups. 

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 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.

The Upper Nithsdale RA are developing a sensory garden to benefit the wider community. The sensory garden will provide a stimulating area for the community to interact with nature and enjoy various sensory experiences. The area will be developed with the help of local young people and various organisations. 

The Gatehouse of Fleet Drop-In "After School Cafe" will offer a relaxed and supportive place for young people to relax, listen to music, chat and have smoothies and snacks after school. Healthy snacks and fruit juice will be provided every week and once a month there will be a meal. 

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. 

The Bee Movies. We hope to purchase some video equipment and software to make short movies to help educate others about bees, pollination, and beekeeping. The equipment will help us improve young people’s film and technology skills but also allow us to share our experiences & learning in our local & wider communities.
