We are a small charity theatre operating in Dalbeattie within the Abbey Ward. Our activities include the provision of youth drama section that works together to put on plays based on various issues including those worrying our young people in the ward. We also provide a programme of films. We plan to produce a minimum of 2 productions allowing our young people to express their feeling so on the priorities, both being before March 2021.

Wigtownshire Stuff, which is led by and for young adults with support needs, is about developing real opportunities for all.  In doing so, it aims to help young adults with a wide range of support needs fulfil their potential as valuable, active citizens making a positive contribution to their community.

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.

Mental Health & Physical Well-Being Project focussing on healthy minds and healthy bodies. Professionals will provide inputs and practical workshops from cooking to fitness for youths to take part in. The programme will provide youths with   knowledge and understanding to educate peers whilst working along-side Youth Engagement Officers in schools.

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.

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. 

Better Lives Partnership (BLP) aims to develop a range of opportunities for young people with autism and related disabilities. We want to ensure young people in Dumfries & Galloway within this group do not face barriers to fulfilling their potential, are supported and empowered to live meaningful and independent lives. 

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.
