In the last year we have developed and completed a number of youth projects including:

Getting Youth Involved

The project looked at volunteering as a positive activity as opposed to anti social behaviour.  The group have designed a range of promotional material to promote and support youth volunteering.  Look out for some of our leaflets and posters in and around East Dunbartonshire.

BIG Lottery Young People’s Panel

This group of enthusiastic and committed young people undertook a whole range of training and research into youth activities in East Dunbartonshire before they embarked on their work within the Panel.  The Panel members were asked to consider and make recommendations on funding applications made to the BIG Lottery’s Young People’s Fund.  Although the project is now in its final stages the young people are keen to further develop their volunteering in East Dunbartonshire.

Roars not Whispers

This is our new project for young people between 16 – 25 years and who want to work with other young people to make a difference.

You making change happen – about things that matter to you

You speaking out – and being heard!

You, together with others, making change a reality

If you want to make change happen and get other people hearing about things that matter to you, we will give you the info, skills, tools, networks and links to turn your voice into action.
