This charity will employ an additional advisor to join their Financial Inclusion Team expanding their provision in Aberdeen. Targeted support to address the impact of rising food and energy costs will be offered and activities will focus on developing financial literacy and income maximisation.

We would like to pay a professional counsellor to provide 1:1 counselling for young people who have experienced trauma. This would enable them to build resilience and reach their full potential.

Everyday Digital will enable individuals and groups who are already participating in Aberdeen Foyer services across North Aberdeenshire to further enhance their learning, personal development, self-management skills and social connectedness by developing their digital knowledge, skills and confidence. The project will achieve this employing a part time Digital Skills Coach who will work alongside existing Foyer services and enable participants to make the links between the activities they are already participating in and the ways in which these can be enhanced with digital literacy and confidence. For example: Aberdeen Foyer delivers REACH - a 12-week recovery and employability programme for adults of all ages. An essential part of this programme is learning ways to keep well and manage long term conditions that have been a barrier to employment. The Everyday Digital Skills Coach will work with programme participates to enable them to access You Tube tutorials and apps including yoga, Pilates, mindfulness, exercise etc. This will enable participants to try new things at home and at their own pace. We also deliver a Financial Inclusion Outreach Service for individuals who are isolated due to rurality and low income. This project will provide them with the knowledge and digital confidence to make price comparisons and take advantage of savings through shopping and paying bills online. They will also be upskilled to use budgeting apps. Our Prince's Trust programme works with individuals aged 16 – 25 to empower them to realise their full potential. This project will enable PTT participants to make best use of recently donated film making and editing technology to capture their personal and team journey as an effective and meaningful way of self-evaluation Many of the people we engage with across North Aberdeenshire are experiencing social isolation. Low income and poor public transport make it difficult to stay connected to friends and family. This project will offer relaxed and informal drop in sessions for Foyer participants to make effective use of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc Many of the people we work with have long term mental health conditions and have experienced thoughts of suicide. The Everyday Digital Skills Coach will support both programme participants and staff to become familiar with and make best use of the ChooseLife Suicide Prevention app specific to Grampian.
