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. 

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. 

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.

Dumfries Parkour Group (DPG) is made up of young people who want to develop various skills and techniques whilst overcoming obstacles in a natural environment through the use of running, vaulting, jumping, climbing, rolling and other movements in order to travel from one point to another in the quickest way possible.

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. 

Solway Spartans Boxing Club would like to apply for funding to help the club take our boxers to events and competitions where they could develop their skills and increase their potential. This would also help build team spirit and allow our boxers to encourage and support each other.
