Description of session
The Youth Enquiry Service (YES), part of the Council’s Community Learning and Development team, has been offering information, support and issue-based projects for young people aged 12-25 in Dumfries since 1993.
The group informs young people on how to make healthier choices within their daily lives to help improve not only their physical health but their mental health as well, by incorporating a combination of the healthy meals, exercises, socialising and learning new skills help to increase fitness levels.
During each session the young people cook a healthy but inexpensive meal, then they eat together as a group. Every week there is the opportunity for them to try a different fitness or exercise activity within a safe and supportive environment such as Yoga, Aerobics, and Cycling. There is also time built in to work with the young people to learn about relaxation and how to chill and feel good about themselves.
Come along to our workshop on 27 March 2019 and we can share more detail with you.
