Inspire to Achieve’ is an online initiative to help young people to ‘inspire and achieve’ in and out of the classroom. This project will harness the skills of mental health professionals and inspirational speakers to promote good mental health in three stages:  

1)    Understanding and realising

2)    Inspiring

3) Reflection 

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.  

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.

Writing, making, playing and listening to music helps young people to say how they feel and can help people to feel better. We want to use this funding to upgrade the Music Room and Recording Studio in the Oasis Youth Centre because the equipment is out of date and many of the instruments need repaired for young people to be able to properly use it.

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.
