Thornhill After School is a brand new youth group for young people in Mid Nithsdale the group will be led by what young people want to do as well as a place to take part in different activities to socialise with friends and meet some new one! The group are looking for funds to allow them to do different activities with their peers such as cooking, arts & crafts and sports activities to give us the opportunitiy to learn new skills! 

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.

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. 

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. 

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.

Winterfest is an exciting programme of activities, trips and events for young people aged 12 – 25 years who have additional support needs and disabilities.  We are offering a safe, inclusive and supportive space for young people to explore, learn, have fun and shine!  

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.
