The Attic Youth Group Project aims to make young people feel safe and supported and offer free accessible activities for young people aged 12-17 living within the North West Dumfries area.

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.

"Who Cares?"  Project will highlight bullying behaviour; identify coping strategies and develop an anti bullying movement by young people. The FREE activities will include themed films; topic debates; workshops; evening supper. Group trips will focus on youth planning to promote an "all together approach" - showing "WE CARE" and are united against bullying!

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.
