HIIT for Health will be a free group for young people to take part in High Intensity Interval Training aiming to improve their levels of physical and mental health.  Evidence shows that exercise can have a profoundly positive impact on mental health, including anxiety, depression and ADHD.  The fitness class will be followed by a health based workshop and nutritious meal, offering a holistic programme to improve the mind, body and soul. 

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!  

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.

The Hub Club is a weekly youth Group in Annan for young people ages 12 – 25 years with extra support needs and disabilities who take part in a variety of activities and projects. We would like to take our young people away on an opportunity of a lifetime.  We would like to take them to Calvert Lakes Disability Outdoor Centre in Keswick for a 2 night stay in October 2012. 

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.
