Annan Drop In Youth Group meet very Friday evening  and  group members, aged 12 – 25 years, take part in a variety of activities such as sports, arts, cooking and issue based projects in an inclusive, safe and secure environment, that is welcoming and supportive.

We will be facilitating drop in sessions providing information on sexual health, relationships and STI testing and find out what their options are when it comes to contraception. Young people will have input for upcoming YMCA Sexual Health Information Hub within North West Dumfries. 

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 Senior students will create both a physical chill and chat space and an online Chat-Zone app. This space would be manned by students and staff with Psychological first aid training/nurture training/counselling skills providing a safe space to help those requiring advice or experiencing difficulties.

1)    Understanding and realising

2)    Inspiring

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 project aims to offer young people a safe and supported space for young people within the Nith area of Dumfries to explore issues such as bullying, mental, physical health & wellbeing.

Dumfries Parkour Group (DPG) is made up of young people who want to develop various skills and techniques whilst overcoming obstacles in a natural environment through the use of running, vaulting, jumping, climbing, rolling and other movements in order to travel from one point to another in the quickest way possible.
