The project will provide computer equipment which will significantly increase the capacity of 'Scope' sessions. These are early intervention group support sessions for young people’s mental health, started this provision due to the serious strain on local CAMHS and GP services. Every week Wilmslow Youth work with specialist facilitators to run workshops exploring different themes around emotional health; helping young people to better understand things like anxiety, stress, social skills, and resilience.

This project is an alternative education initiative for young people who have started to refuse school as a direct result of mental ill health. The grant will provide a midweek programme, running in their newly refurbished community facility that focusses on building confidence, self-esteem, social skills and emotional resilience in order to empower these young people to re-engage with mainstream education. This funding will enable two youth workers to work on a one to one basis with young people each week. It will also enable the organisation to extend their community youth cafe to provide social opportunities for those attending the alternative education.
