Alongside WD Health & Social Care Partnership, we took part in various consultation workshops and collaborated to support the delivery of their new Mental Health & Wellbeing portal. More information on the portal here: www.wdwellbeing.info

As a legacy to our Small Talk campaign, we have delivered over 800 wellbeing boxes to young people seeking support across WD. The boxes were put together as a toolkit to help young people and contain various items such as: a stress ball, information leaflets, a journal and mindfulness exercises.

We continue to work closely with Alcohol Focus Scotland and have been involved in several of their workshops to discuss alcohol marketing to young people.

In partnership with Education, we hosted consultation events with our members to discuss the policy on Transgender young people in an educational setting. We continue to discuss this, and other important youth issues, in our UNCRC development meetings.

We strive to represent the young people across WD as best we can through our campaigns, projects, and events. The relationship we have with our local decision makers supports this, and we thank them for continuing to engage with us on a regular basis, so we can discuss youth issues and plan for a better future for young people.
