The funding will be used to provide a range of services to support the community through the cost-of-living crisis. The centre will provide warm hubs with refreshments during the colder months; craft groups with food for older residents each week; meal-time clubs for children and young people; run each week after school and during school holidays. These will provide a range of activities and a meal at every session. It will also distribute various packs that contain food; personal hygiene products; household cleaning products and children's activity packs. The project aims to bring people together in a safe space that will build relationships and also help vulnerable families tackle the cost-of-living crisis.

Girls at GAZ will work with all three of the above objectives in some way as we see a great need for all of them to be addressed in our community, however, our primary focus will be to improve the young women that attend the sessions physical and mental health and well-being. We believe by making this our primary focus it will link in with the other targets, as improving the young womens mental and physical health will, in turn, build confidence and being part of the group will build social networks for all involved, as well as, giving them a safe and secure place they feel happy in - somewhere they can ask questions and know they will be listened to. This is something we believe is missing in our community. We expect an average of 20-25 young women to attend the sessions on a regular basis. Through our sessions we expect the young women to gain new skills, knowledge and long-term coping strategies for dealing with mental health issues that they can use throughout their lives. We expect that young women attending will gain insightful knowledge into their own health and how to live in a happy, hygienic, healthy way - this will be done through our cooking, fitness and nurse-led health sessions. We expect that by gaining the skills and knowledge they do they will be able to share this within their families and friends helping to improve our communities health and wellbeing.
