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.

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. 

This project will bring young people, aged 12-17 together, socially, over the winter months to take part in a range of fun and safe activities.  The aim of the project is to reconnect young people to their community and wider friendship circles after a long period of social isolation, heightened anxieties and uncertainty during the Covid-19 Pandemic.  We aim help young people feel included, energised, motivated, confident and safe!  

This 16 week informal education programme offers young people the opportunity to become leaders in the sport of cheerleading and their local community. They will look into issues like mental health, body image, bullying and developing interpersonal skills for the future including communication and self confidence through group work and team building.
