It is a fantastic way to keep fit and active, gain confidence and self-esteem, whilst learning new skills.  The aim of this project is to make participation costs as low as possible to give as many young people as wish to the opportunity to take part.

Gleniffer High School - Gleniffer Young Sports Leaders - £2900

The programme will be an invaluable opportunity for the pupils involved. The experiences and qualifications which they will receive will benefit both them and the community in the future. In particular, the positive impact on the young people within the primary schools will be substantial. The first aid course will provide our community with invaluable training  and knowledge should they ever come across a situation where they might need it - potentially life saving. The pupils at Gleniffer High can make a real difference.

Gleniffer High School - Gleniffer Girls Gymnastics - £2500

At Gleniffer High, we aim to get over 407 of our pupils engaged in physical activity at lunch and/or after school. We believe that if we can engage young people at school age, there is more of a chance they will continue to be active in later life and therefore lead a more healthy lifestyle. In particular, it is a target to engage more girls into sport.

Renfrewshire Carers Centre - Renfrewshire Carers Centre Young Carers Project - £1693.71

Young Carers dedicate their childhood to caring for a loved one who has an illness or disability; as a result, they miss opportunities and events with their peers, which leaves them feeling isolated and alone. Young Carers prioritise the health and well being of their family before themselves . This often results in them being   stressed, anxious, losing sleep and struggling to concentrate or attend school.  Respite breaks will give Young Carers the opportunity to have fun, de-stress, make new friends and try new experiences, which will build their confidence. “When you take care of other all the time it gets hard to put your own need first”

Renfrewshire effort to empower minorities - Making healthy choices within the B.A.M.E. community - £2500

This will be done with workshops on healthy eating, encouraging young people to be involved in swimming and sports, There also needs to be information on making healthy choices rather than 'diets'. This has to be a lifestyle change and not a quick fix. there will also be information and participation in exercise not just group exercise but activities such as walking to places or climbing stairs. Exercise can be free it doesn't have to cost anything at all. We want to involve young people in this as being part of a team educating each other is a better way to learn than one person telling them what to do.

Families will be able to get out the house and interact together in a safe and fun environment. Thanks.

Lamont Farm Project - Lamont Farm Project - £3000

Lamont Farm Project will always aim to enhance a young persons experience, whether through school, a project or as a visitor. We believe that every young person should have an opportunity to work with or visit animals if the wish and that we can provide this opportunity, and that we will continue to develop the skills of each young person who visits or volunteers to allow them to reach their full potential.
