Details

This funding is specifically to provide free activities for children and young people in Dumfries and Galloway (they are looking to provide activities across as many communities as possible). This funding is to provide children and young people, aged 5-16 with activities over the summer.

The programmes should enhance equity by widening opportunities for children from low income families to play, socialise, get active and access a range of activities that broaden their experiences, supplement their learning and deliver positive outcomes and integrating food provision wherever possible and be focussed on children and young people within the priority groups.

All activities funded must:

• Take place between Friday 4th July – Wednesday 20th August 2025
• be free for all children and young people up to the age of 16 (up to age 25 for care experienced young people).
• be developed alongside children and young people
• you should involve children and young people in co-designing the project
• be targeted at children and young people within one of the priority groups below:
• Lone parent families
• Families which include a disabled adult or child
• Larger families (3 or more children)
• Minority ethnic families
• Families with a child under one year old in the household
• Families where the mother is under 25 years of age
• take place between Friday 4 July to Wednesday 20 August 2025
